Create a new PC hardware architecture using a modified
Transmeta Crusoe CPU
at it's heart. The CPU is modified to contain an encryption/decryption
engine and the
code
morphing
software is updated to include the decryption of encrypted executable code.
Code morphing is a general conversion process and there's nothing that says
that the binary source has itself got to be executable on some existing CPU.
As the results of code morphing appear only within an internal instruction
cache it's very difficult to gain access to the unencrypted executable
program code.

I get this dread feeling that the Crusoe CPU from Transmeta is going to be
used as an end-run around Open Source software. Just when you thought we
were getting away from proprietary systems …
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
