    Sorry, I couldn't help it.

  2. Argument between reserachers and adults... on Immaturity Level Rising in Adults · · Score: 2, Funny
    Researchers: "Specifically, it seems a growing number of people are retaining the behaviors and attitudes associated with youth. As a consequence, many older people simply never achieve mental adulthood, according to a leading expert on evolutionary psychiatry."

    Adults: "Are not!"

    Researchers: "Clearly if you look at the results of the study there is a clear correlation between adult and child behavior."

    Adults: "Is not!"

    Researchers: "You are proving our point now."

    Adults: "Are not!"

    Researchers: "Are too!"

    Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

  3. Re:Apex ... on First HD-DVD Disc Reviews - Mixed Marks · · Score: 1

    Warner has elected not to enforce ICT, the controversial "down-res" copy protection scheme built into the HD-DVD spec, that allows a content provider to downgrade the quality of an HD DVD disc to standard DVD quality via the component outs. So that means you can watch all the studios initial HD-DVD offerings in full 1080i without HDMI -- at least for now, until Warner decides to implement ICT (which it has publicly stated it intends to do) For those stating RTFA I did. It works for now, it won't forever.

  4. Apex ... on First HD-DVD Disc Reviews - Mixed Marks · · Score: 1

    I'll gladly get in this market once a name like Apex or similar gives me a unit I can hack the firmware for so that I can output the 1080i image through component outputs. Until then, I don't have much reason to upgrade. If they only allow the HDMI connections to output the higher resolutions, they will lose customers imo. I think too many HDTVs out there don't have the HDMI connector to allow the studios to cripple the format.

    Crap. I just bought a brand new tv, and it already has a root kit installed.
