Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the forward-progress dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If HDMI, DVI and UDI weren't enough for you, several major PC manufacturers have announced a joint alliance to come up with another display adapter, creatively named Displayport. The new method is backwards compatible with DVI, but offers double the bandwidth."

    The DisplayPort specification also addresses... as well as optional content protection Optional? I think they made a spelling mistake. Isn't there a s, a t, an a, a n, a d, an a, a r, and a d in the word standard.

    Crack one level, you still have to view it, only to meet the new craptacular connection and monitor, tough noogies again. Call it defense of profits in depth, hard wired.

    I'm all for freewill, but I can think of at least 2112 reasons why parent should not be modded Troll.
    It seems these fly by night moderators are on some kind of a witch hunt.
    Moderators need to look a little closer to the heart and think of the effect modding has on a poster's karma, because when it comes to karma, I think Tom Saywer said it best:
    "He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain."
