the new super-naughty disks
Apr. 27th, 2006 12:50 pmI've just been reading quite a lot of stuff about the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray disks that the big corporations will be bringing out soon. Amazing! I can't believe these sub-morons have learned so little from the whole DVD encryption thing.
It is just plain annoying how they are lying to customers by telling them they need these for HD programs, when we have had new free compression systems like XviD for a while now that easily fit high definition movies onto ordinary DVDs.
But what is really disturbing is that these nasty little blighters are intending to set your equipment up to self-destruct if it thinks you are doing something it doesn't like. I can see what will happen here -- we end up with a whole range of viruses that will trigger that one. What incredible fools!
And if you run an open operating system like Linux, or hope to one day, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray will of course not be usable from it.
Don't, for heavens sake, buy into the HD-DVD or Blu-Ray scam. It is a scam.
