Uh, you're mocking the answerer, fairly obviously. The response was not mocking, it was stating the obvious, and then working towards a solution from that. Go troll elsewhere.
You do realize, I hope, that "anonymous" only means "people reading this don't know your IP". It doesn't, however, also mean "people subpoenaing this place don't know your IP". One should not recommend illegal courses of action. (Wait, did I just?)
People will still be able to make the same damn cables, albeit with slightly cagier language on the packaging, and your friendly local geek and/or AV salesdude will still know exactly what you need.
Okay, okay, this has just been a Slashvertisement -- for our skills.:)
Exactly. I have a DVI-to-HDMI cable that is powering one of my monitors. "My cold dead hands" comes to mind (although, they'd still be slightly warm immediately after they killed me; there's no reason for them to wait to remove "their" property until after my hands have cooled... Perhaps more appropriately "my cooling dead hands" -- but then, Charlton Heston's wording has a certain ring to it).
You know, I had the thought the other day that if we posted the names of the people that our country had killed, perhaps it might help motivate us to convince our country to perform fewer killings.
The tall make more money than the short; this has been studied. The reason is historical: on the plains, tall people could see food/predators/other tribes at a farther distance, and hence were more valued.
Hi, I just wanted to comment on your signature. It's great, because it's not so much a prayer, as a call to arms -- and not arms as in fighting but as in "let's all get up and work together". And it's inclusive, it's really uplifting the more I read it. That's really neat. For those who have signatures turned off, enjoy:
I pray that we will all take care of each other and overcome this tragedy
I suppose to be on topic, your signature speaks to the tragedy that is befalling San Francisco at the hands of their deranged legislators. Like a kidney stone, this too shall pass.:)
PETA believe pet ownership is slavery and they want it gone. Honestly if you want to stop animal abuse you are far better off sending your money to ASPCA or Humane Society.
A researcher (forgot the name, it's in the book _The Brain That Changes Itself_) was researching brain plasticity, and was accused of abusing the monkeys. The only people to abuse the monkeys were PETA! At the time it was just getting started and was two people; they kidnapped the researcher's monkeys and drove them to Florida, and then back. The monkeys returned in an apparently disturbed state; PETA had abused them. (Not necessarily intentionally, mind you; the abuse was the separating from their caregivers, and bouncing around over a thousand miles of road, twice.)
Still, PETA is despicable. Their kidnapping should get them jail time, not a nationally-known, mostly-respected, organization.

Any large scale power system carries risk, but if you try to be honest about the risks people go off the rails.
Yeah, lie to me about your statistics and I'll go off the rails. Too bad there aren't more of me.
Uh, you're mocking the answerer, fairly obviously. The response was not mocking, it was stating the obvious, and then working towards a solution from that. Go troll elsewhere.
Yeah, that, and the monitor uses a bit of disk space for its (stupid!) logs.
You can ignore them, it's in the settings. I think they add value.
I would be, and wouldn't be, at the same time. (TDD FTW!)

Only 10K? And, they didn't balk? The evidence shows that you underbilled.
In Germany I had 30 days of vacation ... and last time I checked there were no economic problems due to it.
There will be, what with them soon buying all their power from France...
Future self, is that you?

Your signature explains the recourse.
[...] these cables actually have numerous active components at both ends. Still overpriced, but not nearly as much of a ripoff.
Yeah, but: why do these cables have active parts on both ends? Oh yeah, part of the "screw the customer" spec.

Crank was very much a GTA-style movie (San Andreas, that is).
Religion explains bumps in the night, wrongly. Science explains why our brains gravitate towards religions. Your turn.

Breast milk is a gateway drug to crime. Formula, too.
[...] and it preserves the rights and dignity of everyone on that aircraft.
Well, everyone except that hostage the air marshal shot threw...
but such is the state of copyright in a country where Disney gets to write our copyright law.
Yeah, I and so many others wish that instead they would right our copyright laws...
Yeah, okay, we'll all wallow in the same filth? You go ahead and inherit the Earth. Rest of us are going to the stars.
Nice first sentence; I tagged this "speakertech".
