All of the countries with higher instances of broadband-per-person have lower birth rates and family sizes than the US. Logical conclusion: large families should have more than one broadband connection so we can "catch up". If you have four kids and one broadband connection, you aren't patriotic!
(Perhaps a better indicator for penetration might be "per household"...)
"1) your HD-DVD is encoded at 1080i"
No, it's not. Both Blu Ray and HD-DVD are supposed to be encoded at 1080p24, not 1080i60. The first HD-DVD players output 1080i60 since the chips to do 1080pXX were not available when the design was being finalized.
...folks might actually read what's in there, rather than take someone else's opinion as gospel who also clearly hasn't read the documentation. Heck, this is worse than some of the threads at AVSForum!
What is real: 1) Early players will be able to output full HD from the component outputs unless the disc itself specifically precludes it. 2) There is a susnet provision in something like ten years for the "analog hole" to be closed. 3) While you may not like it, you are technically breaking the law (DMCA, without actually saying whether it is a GOOD law...) when you "backup" a DVD. 4) It took several years and a sloppy replication house to break CSS. It was not "a few months", and DVD Jon did not do it without someone on the inside getting sloppy. 5) I haven't noticed anyone mentioning breaking key lengths by brute force on Slashdot that are of a similar size as the ones being used here. 6) AACS applies to both HD-DVD AND Blu Ray, so let's make sure that we heap equal amounts of scorn on both.
