This is an issue that I have actually tracked very closely. To my knowledge, there is no such feature in any currently proposed or implemented TC hardware. Can you please identify a specification that supports your assertion? It does not have to be implemented currently to be possible. The remote possibility of having a evil company dictate what I can or canno listen to is bad enough. And as someone else pointed out, some non-free gaming machines. _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
