Censorship???

Blue Ray & HDMI lock out is one of the key "features" behind Intel's
upcoming Project Larrabee, and Nvidia is well on it's way to supporting
the specification lock out in their products.
However, Intel & Nividia are not publicly admitting to the lockout that
is part of the implementation of the HDMI / HDCP. Only AMD has announced
the frame buffer censorship development.
So, yes, you could NOT buy AMD or Intel products... but by the same
token, you wouldn't be buying anything at all. So... the question is,
which vendor will be willing to tell the MPAA and RIAA to stuff it first?
Won't be Intel, they created the lock out specification approved by the
RIAA and MPAA. Probably won't be Nvidia either. With the AMD/ATi merger,
Nvidia could be in a tight spot if they go against Intel's wishes.
For the moment that just leaves AMD/ATi, Via/S3, and SIS, yet I wonder if
ESC is capable of producing an open CPU? Will any of the major vendors
who is in a position to tell the Cartels & the US Government that
consumers are completely against any censorship. Or will we see a new
manufacture/vendor appear in Asia, or one of the Eastern Blocks countries,
now that the USA is on the road to censorship in Televisions and
Computers.
A new Black market will be created in TV and Computers without this
technology that allows the RIAA and MPAA free access to your private
information...

in various persons. There is an endless variety in the particular manner
and circumstances in which persons are wrought on; and an opportunity of
seeing so much will show that God is further from confining Himself to a
particular method in His work on souls than some imagine. I believe it
has occasioned some good people amongst us, who were before too ready to
make their own experience a rule to others, to be less censorious and
more extended in their charity; and this is an excellent advantage
indeed. The work of God has been glorious in its variety; it has the
more displayed the manifold and unsearchable wisdom of God, and wrought
more charity among His people.
There is a great difference among those who are converted, as to the
degree of hope and satisfaction they have concerning their own state.
Some have a high degree of satisfaction in this matter almost
constantly; and yet it is rare that any enjoy so full an assurance of
their interest in Christ that self-examination should se
