Do enlighten me; what linux (ebedded) does ME run? any details are of |
| 7 |
interest to me. |

Many embedded systems are rather sloppy with security, once you find |
| 13 |
the jtag or other low level interface pins. Not hard to get find docs on |
| 14 |
most boards? Often other ports can be used to download codes to a |
| 15 |
variety of memory on the boards. It takes time, unless you get docs, |
| 16 |
which then it is fairly routine for embedded devs. |

I have no interest about openpower, but surely there is a way to get you |
| 28 |
some better hardware? |

I've just never really worked on this ME/PSP issue. Surely there are |
| 36 |
sites and projects that welcome folks to participate and get the basic |
| 37 |
info on the state of the public knowledge? |

Dream on. Everybody has a different view of democracy. Gated communities |
| 43 |
and isolate communities are the wave of the future. Different folks just |
| 44 |
do not get along, socially. Online filters out the unacceptable |
| 45 |
differences. Besides the world is preparing for war. 8 billion strong, |
| 46 |
and jobs for less than a billion? War cometh.... |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Get small and hide.... |

Now about you getting some better hardware. Drop me some private mail. |
