This Palladium stupidity won't fly. Remember how
people
howled when Intel put unique IDs into their processors?
The heart of this thing is the same unique ID stuff, just
on a separate chip.
There's plenty of other stupidity that people said wouldn't
fly that we are now saddled with, including the DMCA. If the
corporations behind the politicians want it bad enough, it'll happen.
Plus at this point the average PC user doesn't really know or care
about the pieces that make up the machine so there will be little
resistance in that respect.
