if you have a pirated version (or more specifically, a key that is flagged as pirated) you get a message saying your key is not valid and you should contact your administrator.
I don't know about the S-video, I will need to go home and try out that connection. I do know about the DVI though. It isn't disabled. It's just not supported. At least that is how it is in TWC Houston area.
I know for a fact that if you plug in a DVI cable, the component video outputs get disabled. If you plug in component video cables, the DVI is disabled. Its basic copy protection required by the entertainment industry. They won't allow two high definition outputs at the same time from the same box.
S-video may get disabled if he has component video cables plugged in. Not sure.
Some people can hook up to the DVI and it will work. Others (like me) hook up the DVI and get a message saying:
"High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) is not supported by you tv or monitor. Please use the component connections to view."
Why is that? Its because the industry as a whole has refused to agree on a standard implementation of HDCP. So some tv's work with SA's current software, some don't. TWC just says DVI isn't supported (or de-activated if you get the "really knowledgable" techs) because there is nothing they can do about it until SA gets them new firmware.
I am defending TWC very lightly here. They have problems all there own. But this one isn't entirely thier fault.
I am thinking the SA8000HD roll out is just a big beta test for the SA8300HD coming out next.
Yeah, the SA8000HD is not as advanced as the TIVO equivilent. However, for what most people want its just fine. Surf through the guide, check the shows you want recorded and its recorded, even the HD shows.
An HD Tivo reciever for Direct TV will cost you $1000. The Time Warner SA8000HD box will cost you $5 dollars a month for the box, $7 dollars a month for the PVR service. $12 a month * 24 months (just a guess at the worthwhile life a box) = $504 (including the service). I don't care how good Tivo is, it just can't touch that price.
So after diligently boycotting music, you decide to pay the record industry the same amount, if not more, money for a version of the song with more restrictions and lower quality.
Wow, god forbid you say anything bad about "Gods" like Burt Rutan, Steve Jobs, etc. Burt Rutan's craft is not solving anything. Sorry to disappoint the mods.
Production costs are almost negligable compared to the amount for R&D, testing and more importantly, certification. Those valves cost that much problably because they were man rated. Man rating things is incredibly expensive.
Time and time again, people just want to look at how much things cost to manufacture and try to base cost estimates off of that.
Burt Rutan isn't getting anything to orbit in the forseeable future. Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but this X-Prize thing is just subsidized advertising for Rutan's company.
I am not so sure the money is better spent on laptops, books or teachers, but it got me thinking a little.
elementary school aged children are probably pretty hard on books, so they must need to be replaced on some schedule. and some books (and probabably relatively few) need updating.
but text books have gotten extremely expensive over the last few years. could the cost of a new $1000 dollar laptop every 2-3 years per student be less than the equivelent cost of books over those same two years? it might be close....

Many people like loading an exact copy of the same web page. You can only do so much using forward and backward. Opening a new window with the same page allows you to go on tangents then close it out and go back to where you were.
its not a question of skips, but by how much are you eroding the lift of the hard disk by subbjecting it to an environment it was not designed for. the hard disks in the ipods are not specially designed for the ipods.
So what are you doing with your hard earned cash? Paying for internet access to post on slashdot? Give it to the poor, they obviously need it more. Be a trend setter.
Sorry to burst all the blind Steve Jobs fanbois but Apple may have the most market share in the mp3 player arena, but practically every single other mp3 that was ever manufactured supports WMA. I think that gives them plenty of leverage to enter the music business.
Being debt free is not a good thing. How long till people understand this? Large companies are not run like your household. Too much debt is a sign your company maybe over extending itself. Too little debt means you are not using your available cash reserves properly.
Individuals and organizations don't want their multimillion dollar investments sitting around in a savings account. Debt is a direct indication of your investors confidence in your companies ablity to make them money.
All companines have cash reserves. Very, very few companies are debt free. There is a reason for that and it isn't that is Apple is such a great company.
Who is this "they" you speak of? "they" ARE the investment bankers. actually, "they" are the majority share holders that want to make money. their investment in apple doesn't increase unless there is demand for apple stock.

the pencil and paper will not remind you when its time to be somewhere or do something. or tell you your busy when you try to set up another meeting.

billg isn't very good at predicting the future? right, that monopoly thing just fell on his lap. he didn't have anything to do with it.
That line of thinking is complete and utter crap.

you are acting like Apple and its stockholders are two separate entities. They are one in the same and want demand for their stockholdings.
