Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Re: Microsoft Sets Up Digital Manners Police I think: => The fact that MS has patented the technology does not mean it's being used anywhere yet and people like you are being excessively alarmist; => It's a stretch to compare this technology to DRM; "You walk into a movie theater, the movie theater sets your mobile phone to vibrate for you." => Excellent! Wish it would disable the ability to make calls while in the theater, too (bonus points for stuffing a sock in chatty people's mouths); "You stroll into a museum, the museum disables the flash on your camera or disables your camera altogether." => Excellent! Protects copyrights and fragile artwork; "You get too close to the cockpit, any wireless device at risk of interfering is shut off." => Excellent! Have it disable any wireless device altogether unless passengers are embarking or disembarking, and it'll be even better. Hope they use it in all forms of public tranportation, too. -- ~PA Bear http://www.KillAllTheLawyers.mvp MEB wrote: > Hmm, seems Microsoft may not be content with the present DRM technology, > seems intent on extending device control. > > Whatcha tink??? > > http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2008/06/13/microsoft-sets-up-digital-manners-police

The writer(s) attempted to address the potentials that could be associated with other uses. Blanking out all cell phones with cameras could be extremely misused by enforcement agencies. Hacking the control systems software could leave entire houses, buildings, or cities at the mercy of the hacker or other criminals. Let's say you have your home controlled, using these controls and software, someone hacks the system while you and your family are in the home, say at night. There is no automatic call to the security agency because its part of the networked control system and has been disabled. There's no phone system, because that was tied in as well. There's no cell phones because your cells were tied in via their IDs. No lights, they were controlled by the system. Your electronic locks are disabled. Your video security cameras and devices have also been disabled. Your cars are disabled as they were tied in also. Your hand gun or other you bought for protection has an electronically "safety" which has also been locked/disabled so it can't be used. Now explain WHY you think this is good technology.. oh wait, you were likely beaten into coma or killed during this crime. So was the rest of your family... guess your opinion is now non-existant, as you no longer exist. To ignore the other potential uses while keying on those "things you want" because they annoy you, would seem to be another instance of placing a bullseye on your forehead, handing out sledge hammers, publicly posting your "full responsibility statement' in which you and your attorneys obsolve any others of responsibility, and asking people to hit the bullseye to prove your invincable. I would bet your not. | | | MEB wrote: | > Hmm, seems Microsoft may not be content with the present DRM technology, | > seems intent on extending device control. | > | > Whatcha tink??? | > | > http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2008/06/13/microsoft-sets-up-digital-manners-police | -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________

Guest Dan Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Microsoft Sets Up Digital Manners Police It would be nice if people just had respect for each other. I do not really want technology turning off my gadgets but if you go to the opening night of a good movie you really want to see then I would hope people would be courteous enough to silence their cellphone or at least turn it to vibrate. If the person is spending $10 or so dollars to see a movie then the person should be responsible enough to budget time to see the movie and silence their gadgets and allow themselves to be wrapped up in a fantasy world for a little while. That is my 2 cents.

Terhune Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Microsoft Sets Up Digital Manners Police What a bunch of whiny old farts (I' first wrote women, but then realized what an insult that was to the fairer sex.) Your elders probably thought the same of you when you were 20. Or, if you happen to have been a little angel, they were at least saying the same things about young people in general. What was that, around the time of rock & roll, shaking hips, short skirts and sweaters? Or are you older than that? Isn't that when the "responsible" people were calling everyone and their cat communists and blacklisting was so popular? Real responsible adults we had back then, eh? I think there are too many old farts in the world, the world is overpopulated... I say mandatory death for everyone at age 65.

Of course, Gary, you are right in your "extensive" observations over all time (as limited as that time frame is). And, indeed, there has been NO change whatsover in personal responsibility and personal accountability, in blaming others for everything under the sun (and the plethora of lawsuits today), the loss of the two parent homes, the loss of neighborhoods, etc, etc. (I probably was just on acid when I wrote that).

And which book "full of information beyond comparison" would you be referring to,,, let me guess,, you think its the Christian Bible, so which version is the correct one or is it the Jewish "Bible"... Have you bothered to read the more ancient religious tomes of other religions, or any other religious directive "manuals" {Bibles}. If not, then you know less about man than you think, and certainly less about *man's created* Gods... I have, here's the secrets, they are BOOKS and writings by men attempting to explain the unknowns of the era and man's relationships. Their value lay in the general direction towards man's need to be "nice" to himself and his world, and the attempts to understand HOW to balance these. The writings of *future views* related to man and this world {premonitions if you must} hold more value. Many contain predictive writings, which were written as religious based documents mearly to protect the author from being subjected to the wrath of religious leaders and controls. THESE are of more intrisic value to man; one, for study of these *abilities* in man; two, for their content. One must always remember that religions WERE the LAW of man during those religious periods, generally outweighing any other of man's laws, and speaking and/or writing AGAINST the religion was death, stoning, exclusion, or other, for.those those OUTSIDE the religion. Unless YOU spend some time studying man's creations [all these historical *religious* writings], weighing them against each other for "sense", value, and against what man HAS discovered, you know nothing more than people did three thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand years ago. Instead you have something less, preconcieved notions based upon lack of knowledge and ignorance. To say one religion IS THE ANSWER over others is ludicrous, that isn't faith, that's reliance upon invisible "friends" and prejudice. AFTER *YOU* study these tomes and writings, come back and seek me out.. perhaps we can have an intelligent discussion. Until then, keep your religious meanderings in the forums devoted to them. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________
Guest Jim Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: Microsoft Sets Up Digital Manners Police It was one of those blacklisted revolutionary films of the 1970's. cica 74 or 75. Another neat scene was when the president of this mess was 29 going on 30 and he steps on the pet crawdad of some 13 year old...how the kid looks up and sneers in pure hatred of the older generation knowing he is gonna get his real soon.
