    not if you design a capture card that simulates that LCD screen the movie is to be played on...
    check LCD screen documentations. you'll see that past the controller card that digitizes the video and adapts it to the LCD, you can access the un-encrypted bits...

  18. blocking cars on purpose on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    my city installs traffic lights and make them turn red right when you approach them on purpose, to piss off drivers, in an attempt to force people to use the stupid road level trams (that, of course, being on the same level as cars, get stuck in traffic).
    the problem with that plan is that the idiotic trams stop working at 11pm. so, if you go to the movies with it, you have to walk back home (how practical)

    Here's mine...

    Why would requesting the report itself lower your chances of obtaining credit ? it doesn't make sense.
    those chances should only be lowered if that credit is accepted and you take the money.
