Does it automagically allow us to decode HDCP-protected content on a DVI or HDMI cable? Or does it allow us to merely sign our own HDCP devices given an appropriate amount of hackery?
Yes and yes. So you can create your own HDMI / HDCP device that can impersonate any valid HDCP device, so there's no way to revoke it. And then you could simply output the signal via DVI, or you could use some other interface to dump the decoded video frames.
The availability of this key means nothing with regards to Blu-Ray.
Well it does and it doesn't.
Sure it doesn't help you break the on disk format with your own reader / player. So you won't be able to extract a DRM free raw copy of the encoded video.
But as above you can construct your own fake HDMI / HDCP display device that can dump the raw decoded frames from any existing Blu-Ray player. From there you can re-encode with whatever codec you like or just dump the frames to disk.
Of course that's the raw frame buffer and you have to be able to process it or store it somewhere in real time. If you're going to re-compress it anyway to change formats this might be usable. But if you just want an unprotected copy with the original encoding, this wont help you.
Q: I am color blind. Can I see the stereo 3-D movies?
A: Unfortunately, no. The anaglyph stereo 3-D technique relies on colors to separate the left and right eye images. If one can not see or distinguish between certain colors, then the anaglyph stereo 3-D effect will not work.
[citation needed].
I fail to see how being unable to distinguish between colors has any effect on a filter placed in front of your eyes... By the time your eyes see the image it's basically monochrome.
People often compare building software to building physical structures. I'd say that building software is closer to drawing the blueprints for a structure.
Lack of demand is why unemployment won't go down, and demand driven by credit is unlikely to recover any time soon.
Bingo. Increasing demand creates jobs. Demand can be calculated by summing income (ie GDP) plus change in debt, if you borrow money and spend or invest it this increases demand. Therefore the change in demand can be calculated by measuring the change in GDP plus [change in [change in debt]]. So if you want to know what the employment situation will be like, look at the acceleration of the aggregate debt level. In the last year, total demand dropped about 17% in the US, so I wouldn't hold out much hope for employment getting any better in the near future.
And with a Batphone you can use a local adhoc wifi mesh network for peer-to-peer call routing. Eliminating the need to a telco controlled cell network as well.
I've got a dvico tvix 6600, which gives you a HD PVR / jukebox with network access in both directions. Plus it runs linux, though I have no idea how to hack a custom firmware image together.
We've had some slightly more insidious issues at LAN parties. Where PC's with multiple NIC's and NAT configured were both linked to the LAN and directly together at the same time.
Winrar seems like a good simple solution. When you encrypt a rar file it uses AES internally. So if your key is complex enough, nobody should be able to extract the contents.
But, what went wrong in this case is contained within a small bootstrap application for starting the VM. How are you supposed to use reflection to identify the set of custom startup options your application needs in order to function within a specific vendors JVM implementation?
Brooks Law doesn't really hold when you have a large number of well encapsulated components. Then you can have a number of teams working on each component, almost in isolation, requiring far fewer channels of communication.
It's not the deflation itself that kills the economy, it's having a huge debt burden before the deflation hits that kills the economy.
When the economy slows, people attempt to (or are forced to) reduce their existing debts. This slows down the velocity of money, so everyone's income shrinks. Conversely when the economy is booming, increasing debts cause everyone's income to grow.
If your debts are small, this is no big deal as your debt will fall faster than the drop in your income.
If the debt's in the economy are large compared to income's, attempting to reduce your debts can lead to those debts being higher in real terms than they were before. And that is what kills economies.
And of course our current financial system isn't really based on fiat currency. The lions share of the "money" in circulation has been created through the issuing of credit from banking institutions.
The biggest reason why windows wont work is the new 4k sector problem. XP assumes a disk sector size of 512 bytes and may align it's 4k data pages incorrectly. This forces the disk firmware to read 2 sectors for any read / write request.

Companies don't arbitrarily decide to charge more for products
Tell that to Blizzard. Starcraft 2, $90 AUS (currently $85 USD) vs $60 USD for the US version.
Some apple products used to value the AU/US exchange rate at about 0.50 when it was 0.90 or so. But their site seems a bit better now.
Ditto. We realised our son was saying "Oh Shit" at appropriate times when he started pronouncing the S and T clearly.
If they're that light, a whole ton of them would take up a lot of space. How big was this satellite?

But could you use this trickle of energy to reduce or eliminate the battery drain when the phone is idle?
The party is already winding down.

I remember the time when my 2 year old came up to my PC, while I had both of my hands on the keyboard, and logged me off so he could have a turn...
Nah, just get a cheap USB keyboard and small mouse. For a while, you won't even have to plug them in ;).
Your kids want to imitate you, let them.

it's so easy for sick people (again, that would be you) to ruin the lives of anyone they like
I wonder what he'd do to the people he didn't like...

I hope that server's well secured ;)
Bah, that url had admin:password1@ at the front before /. formatted it for me ....
