I sincerely hope this doesn't happen. It will be a major regression for freedom when firmware in all PCs becomes powerful enough to intercept all memory access from your runtime OS, understand filesystems and use its own tcp/ip stack to "call home". Add to it the fact that it can't be replaced, and you get the functional equivalent of a surveillance device. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
