Mr. Fiondella, I suggest that you calm down ...
<I'm shocked and amazed at the pathetic level of social responsibility shown by Intel engineers. This issue is not being blown out of proportion. It is a serious issue because it raises the problem of developing a secure digital identity which individuals and not corporations should control.>
Individuals do control it, now that the ID is turned off by default. If that's not an acceptable solution, I'm sure Intel will bend over backwards finding a better one.
<Uplifting idiots isn't my responsibility, however having been in the software engineering business for some time, I can now see that many of the Intel engineers and former engineers that post here did not study the US Constitution, haven't got a clue what it means to be an American(as opposed to a citizen of a totalitarian state), and do not understand the role they are carving out for all of us with the public as enemies of personal freedom.>
Mr. Fiondella, so anyone who disagrees with you must be anti-American, a Nazi (see below), and an enemy of personal freedom?
Unfortunately, you are not the only one to hold such a view. It seems that the privacy groups are also holding such a view as well. "Anyone that isn't for us is against us!" God forbid that someone may have a different viewpoint on such matters.
<You may recall that the Nazis didn't use names in the death camps but numbers tattooed into people's skins. You would think that Andy Grove with his experience would have put a stop to this number business.>
Comparing Intel to the Nazis, I see. Given Andy Grove's experiences in World War II, I find it rather distasteful that you trivialize his experiences by comparing the CPU ID to facism.
Besides, it is generally assumed that an online debate is over when references to the Nazis are made.
<Unfortunately this whole fiasco shows JUST WHAT KIND OF COMPANY Intel is.>
Unfortunately, your post shows just what kind of person you are, Mr. Fiondella.
