Actually, Intel MS and other IT company execs have already appeared in Congressional Subcomittee hearings regarding this issue. This was well over 2 months ago. Unfortunately this article is a wee bit late. The legislation has been in the preperation stages since 1999.
If you've actually read the bill it would make building your own computer illegal as it would not be certified by a hardware manufacturer as being legal under the terms of the bill.
The only hopes we have are to contact your Senators and voice your opinions, and even now it's too late for that. You will need to fax them regarding this issue.
