Is it too early to start gambling on how fast AACS will be broken?

Probably 30 minutes. There's a Walmart just down the street from me,
and they have plenty of Sharpies there.

Um. No ISP has 100% uptime. No consumer ISP can even do 99.99% uptime (ie.
<1 hour downtime a year!)

So you're saying that if your internet connection goes down while watching
a movie, the movie will essentially fry your DVD player?

Yeah, THAT'S going to go over well with the consumers.

Besides, how long will it take for someone to reverse engineer the traffic
between the player and the studio's server, and create their own hardware
"Internet spoofer"?

Either that, or people will just turn to piracy for "safe" disks.

Well no, that's actually what some reports are saying, I just cut and
pasted. Perhaps I should have said that. I'm guessing it'll be similiar
to what the SAT companies do know, with regard to frying your cards. But
yeah, one would have to buy into the always connected thing. I'm
assuming something they'll try and sell you, like video on demand or the
like.

AACS requires a connection to ...yuck... I'm going to say it... I feel so

That's part of the proposal, but I'm not confident it will happen. It's
hard for me to believe they're willing to give up on consumers that
aren't willing to give the box access to a land line.

How many is that? Not a lot at all, I'd expect. Certainly not enough to
eliminate their drive to stop piracy, which hurts them in publication.
Certainly not enough to offset the billions they say they lose each year.
And, if it's the only way to watch stuff in HD, people will buy it no matter
what. Even the slashtwatters will buy it.

It's moot.

First of all, there's no need. A simple land line connection like a TIVO,
DirecTv, etc, etc, etc, uses will be enough. Second, BD+ allows it on disk,
so all you'll need to do is watch a new movie with the new firmware
revision, or what not.

Perhaps prevalent, but it's already ubiquitous.

Not required, not required and not required. Those interfaces provide
enhancements. Blu-Ray will require it just to function for basic
playback? Don't think that's going to happen too fast.

Your combining two seperate things. Revision(s) on media similiar to
Dash updates on Xbox media = one thing. Constant probing via POTS just
to watch media; quite another.

True for the first two, false for the last. Tivo does indeed require a
connection to the mothership.

The point is, even if you say those don't require them, the vast majority
are hooked up. It's ubiquitous already.

Then, that's exactly what will happen. It is transparent and won't affect
them.

No, not really. You were talking about updating the end boxes. That
doesn't require a connection.

You know Doug, I'm not too familiar with the whole DivX/DVD fiasco. At
that time, I wasn't the geek that I am today. VCR was fine, I was single
and thus more interested in spending my bi-weekly checks at the clubs on
the weekend then tech. So enlighten me. As I understand it, DIVX was a
company, or a standard competing with DVD? Not to be confused with
MPEG-4 DivX codec right? Because the latter is a fabulous thing. Lots of
my video media is in either DivX, OGM, or Xvid format. Actually, I just
bought this little kick ass Philips progressive DVD player for my
bedroom that plays DivX media. Nowhere near as great as playing this
media on the the Xbox (w/ xbox media center), but extremely nifty to
have in a DVD player for less then 60 bucks. For example, I can usually
fit 3-4 disc dvd sets onto one dvd with this compression.


BTW, funny story about the grandparents and TIVO. I'm pawning off my
older bedroom DVD player (to justify the DivX one) to my father, who
still thinks the VCR is cutting edge. He should get a pleasant surprise
when he pops in the Andy Griffith show DVD compilation that I got 'em
from the Walmart bargain bin.

OSX works as well as it does *because* Apple have complete control over
the hardware. Start trying to make it work on any old pile of shite and
you just end up with Windoze driver and user experience hell.

(Oh, and Apple do sell much cheaper hardware than G5s.)

I always laugh when you and your ilk say stupid things like that. Want to

Correct, DIVX - the now dead format is not to be confused with DivX, the
highly popular video codec. DIVX was spearheaded by Circuit City, and was
basically like Pay-Per-View using discs. You'd buy a DIVX movie for $1-2,
but would be charged a fee to "unlock" that disc for 24-72 hours (ie. "pay
per play"). For an additional fee, you could purchase an unlimited license
for a disc (called "Silvering a disc.") Silvered discs worked like normal
DVDs - but only for the player it was "silvered" on. So if you took a
disc you silvered to a friend's house, he'd get charged the normal fee.

The full story about DIVX can be found here (and other places - search for
DIVX and circuit city):
http://hometheater.about.com/library/weekly/aa062199.htm

I think DivX was named DivX as a sort of joke at DIVX's expense.

I think it's a testament to Tivo's design that older, usually
tech-reluctant, groups are embracing it as well as they are.

I think I'll save my money and build my OWN hardware without Apple
telling me how to do it. On the same note, I'll have my choice between
"Windoze", my life distros (Knoppix, Slax, and DSL on my thumb), as well

No, you should know because of your "nonsensical" connotation to the

No, actually. But then, you don't know me, do you? Since we're assuming
things, let me take a punch... It would appear to me you're just a half
wit know-nothing political lobbyist (wannabe that is). What's the
matter? Blog is broken? Your main flaw in this thread is that you spend
far too much time talking about technology when you obviously know
nothing about it nor the implications that you invoke when you post

Your humor is drier then a saltine cracker. However, you seem to me to
