Any vendor who doesnt comply could be arrested and flown off to a detention camp on some remote island without the right to legal council. We could borrow some old planes from the US postal service.. These vendors could be interrogated until they reveil their specifications for their hardware. I vote for hard interrogation - if they wont tell they could be forced to wear tux-outfits and listen to badly ripped mp3?s until they talk. These vendors constitutes an axes of evil and are a real threat to the security on a lot of machines. To all vendors - you are either with us or against us! -- Rudolf Randal - H?ssleholmsgatan 3B lgh 503 - 214 43 Malm? - Sweden - Phone: +46 (0)76 234 05 77 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
