    You should try Progress Quest: http://www.progressquest.com/ It's a lot more family friendly version of an MMORPG, and i predict most of the future games will be looking at it for ideas.

  10. Re:bandwidth cross borders? on 100Mbps Home Internet Service Next Year in Finland · · Score: 1

    Internet-only we don't have, but we do have an isp that is providing Digital TV channels through ADSL lines, and they are later this year switching to providing HDTV channels through that same line. (for that they need to pump the speed up a notch tho)

    the good thing with this isp is, that unlike others, they have to guarantee the speeds they advertice, for smooth tv watching.

    I live in Finland, we have 8M cable connections currently available. i also work in a company that resells quite a lot of other isp's connections, and have not heard anything of this, or of the company mentioned in the article.

    Yes, displays will work with source material. the HDCP protection is enforced by the player, not the display device. i think a lot of people in these comments are confusing the HDMI connection type (DVI + Audio) with the HDCP copy-prevention scheme

  18. Re:Too late to matter on Another Format War: DVD -R9 v. +R9 · · Score: 1

    The first European HDTV channel is already operating, and the european digital tv system can just as well pump HDTV streams as the currents ones.

    also, some of the stores are now adverticing flat screens with as being 'HD', so it's starting to catch on.

    besides, blu-ray will be the next generation .computer. drive, because of it's high datacapacity. so from this angle alone, it will be widespread.
