Restrictions placed on Turing machines by their producers are ultimately a political problem and not a technical one. We will indeed have to solve it one day once those restrictions are not buggy.
- userbinator 12y agoIt is a political problem, but I think it's one that has to be solved very very soon, because the majority of the population seem to acquiesce quickly to these new restrictions and "safer" (against them) systems without thinking much of the negative aspects. To let it reach the point when freedom is completely associated with malware, terrorism, or whatever else is used to frighten the population into comformity, it may be too late to oppose.
