  1. news.bbc.co.uk and spyware? on BBC says "Avoid Explorer" · · Score: 1

    Of course, what they don't tell you is that news.bbc.uk has a nasty bit of Java from Red Sheriff that tracks clicks, and sometimes even tracks clicks to sites other than the Beeb's. Don't accept .js or .jar files from the Beeb. Ever. They're not to be trusted, and two-faced.

  2. No digital out on DVD-A? on New Audio Disc Formats and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Your wrong - Meridian's 800 DVD Machine (and possibly their lower-end 598, I don't recall) had the first offically allowable encrypted digital-out for DVD-A. (They did invent MLP, the lossless compression system for DVD-A, after all). The big Denon does too, but I've heard less details about if it has actually been rubber-stamped by the DVD-A consortium.

    Interestingly, they also say that encrypting the output from the S/PDIF socket even makes it sound nicer. While I can just about fathom why that might be, I can't quite work it out!
