okay.. to add up on the subject:
what I heard (or think i heard at 8am after a night of gothclubbing and lots of vodka
The Paladin systems should consist of a circuitset with cpu and mem hardwired to the board, the case is not open-able (extreme powertools would then have to be essential for any casemodder and enthusiast) and the idea of the system is that it is: hacking- and virusfree (it simply can't get affected) it can only communicate with other paladin systems and is only able to function on a dsl/cable connection, it is not possible to run pirated software or perform other illegal activity as it is constantly surveillanced by remote mainframes. The internet would then have to be devided into 'the www' and 'Paladin-net'. Those are the few facts I can rememeber, the ethic discussion that followed I will leave out.
Every home-father and corporations dream and truly a nightmare for the rest of us.
I will try to find some 'legitimate' articles to prove these theories
till then
