In the last slashdot article about this it was plainly stated that the difference is actually 4-bit (16 bit advertised, 12 bit really) which in actuality means the difference between 60k some odd colors and 4096 colors...
I went to the page the story links to, the anti-enumeration website.
I was expecting a well thought out reasoning why we should be avoiding enumeration, but instead what I saw was trife about how we're all going to hell if we have a numbering system.
oh dear, please, if someones going to post arguements against something, atleast base them in reality, rather then the rantings of a 2000 year old book.
Books don't have legal warnings beyond the copyright date. Print art has no warnings on it. My furniture and appliances don't warn me that I'll be sued if I use their design to build copies and sell them
You forgot about the evil Mattress tags.
UNDER PENALTY OF LAW YOU SHALL NOT REMOVE THIS TAG!!! RAR!
True, I was originally going to post that point as well.
The only roadblock the higher capacity would be is in the size of the intial rip. Currently in DVD encoding, you need to rip the entire dvd contents and then encode which requires 8-9 gigs free.
So really you would need more free disk space for the rip, but thats the only difference. and it's not like disk space is in short supply nowadays.
and even then, if you only had a limited amount of space to do the rip, there are ways around it; albeit it more time consuming.
"Flybys like this happen every 50 years or so," says Don Yeomans, the manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program office at JPL. The last time (that we know of) was August 31, 1925, when another 800-meter asteroid passed by just outside the Moon's orbit. In those days there were no dedicated asteroid hunters--the object, 2001 CU11, wasn't discovered until 77 years later. At the time of the flyby, no one even knew it was happening.
======== So uh, why have i heard of 2 just this year that came about a moons distance or less from smacking us?
weird.
It will be nice to have a counter example to the arguement that distributing commercial music on the internet boosts sales. no matter the result, it will be nice to compare his cd sales to those of artists who aren't so tight on their work.
Springsteens secrecy over his album will give a nice statistical counter example to those whos albums are freely available on file sharing networks...
come to think of it he has gotten less and less popular.. but that can be attributed to alot of factors, not necessarily just that he's so tight on his music.
i hope we get to see the raw sales statistics. it would be a shame if they are not available to contrast them in an analytical paper or something.

I haven't read the standard or anything, but this thing just screams to me "Security Hole"
what's the point? does everything have to be iSomething nowadays?

how unfortunate.

Copyrights and patents are designed for one thing, and then you list 5 things? :)
