Did you guys hear about...

Did you guys hear about the law they are trying to pass so that you aren't able to buy things to mod your computer? It's a REALLY stupid law! If you've heard of it please reply and tell me what YOU think about it.

well, I don't know what palladium stuff is but you would'nt be able to buy like motherboards by themselves, you would have to buy a WHOLE computer to get the one you want.

yeah, palladium is part of that whole thing. yes it sucks a lot and i doubt it will ever be implemented, or if it is then no one will abide by it and a black market would emerge and major companies(microsoft, intel) would be boycotted.

I think he's hearing the grapevine version which is always miles off of the truth

I don't know what the REAL law is then I guess. But I DO know that they are trying to pass a law. Hey, I'm only 13. I don't know much about comps and stuff like that but I'm learning. Because I AM on TIMO I'm learning MUCH, much more!
