Holland Bans AMD's 'Virus Protection' Campaign 330
Hack Jandy writes "For those of you who didn't see this coming, AMD's Advanced Virus Protection campaign has been banned in Holland since the technology does (almost) nothing to stop viruses! If you recall, AMD's NX bit attempts to stop the processor from executing pages on the stack that have been written to. Does NX even solve more problems than it causes?"

Yeah, it's legal, but is ain't a
hundred percent legal. I mean you
can't walk into a restaurant, open
up a laptop, and start settin' NX bits.
You're only supposed to hack in
your home or certain designated places.

Those are internet cafes?

Yeah, it breaks down like this:
it's legal to buy it, it's legal to
own it and, if you're the
proprietor of an internet cafe, it's
legal to sell it. It's legal to
carry it, which doesn't really
matter 'cause -- get a load of this
-- if the cops stop you, it's
illegal for this to search you.
Searching you is a right that the
cops in Amsterdam don't have.

I bet if I really try, I can come up with a few more URLs that don't show Bill Gates making that quote. Also, there's no mention of George Bush saying that there were no WMD's in Iraq either. Isn't that amazing?
