Balancing the Scales
,----[ Quote ]
| It wasn't too long ago, I told you the story of my experiences with Acer.
| Seems that articles I wrote about 3 years ago concerning Trusted Computing
| and the hardware/software nightmares implemented to enforce it came home to
| roost.

| We couldn't get to the login prompt due to the Trusted Core sentry. These
| computers were in essence, doorstops.

| The HeliOS Project is conducting our “Drive For The Future”. These little
| wonders are being collected so that with every computer we deliver, we will
| include a thumb drive with their system upon it. We can buy them in bulk or
| you can purchase one and send it to us if you care to participate in this
| drive. If you don’t particularly want to go out to purchase one, you can
| order one from newegg.com and have it shipped to our address. If you simply
| want to donate to our bulk order, you can do on the left column of our main
| page. Price per unit is $14.95. If you are donating for one thumb drive,
| please do not include any shipping costs as we get free shipping with our
| orders.

| This seems like a good time for a Ken Starks retrospective. This is the man
| who, despite some rather gnarly health problems churns out blog entries and
| interesting Linux projects by the truckload.
