Intel x86s hide another CPU that can take over your machine (you can't audit it)

M@rk, I think you forget we're talking about Intel. If you can code it, they can certainly de-code it.

But if its transparent how can they (Intel) read (And understand) lets say a text file containing my passwords? Or maybe they cant?

It doesn't read files. It reads your RAM.

That's why people don't like it. IPMI gives us all the management features we need without the paranoia-inducing intrusion potential IME gives.

In my opinion there is a higher likelihood of someone breaking into your house and walking off with your computer than someone being able to crack this system.

If you are worried about this system I suggest you get to bolting your case to the floor and installing a lock on the side panel.

If someone will try to break into my house he can do it easily, My window in the room is made of wood thats why.

Let's avoid the nothing-to-hide fallacy. It's pretty dumb, even when talking about paranoid silly people.

Hey M@RK,

I too was joking and that was not directed at anyone in particular. My humor can be a little dry sometimes.
