The fact that the first one seems to be a simple cable and you need a nonstandard HDMI port that can output analog signals to use it.
http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/component-to-hdmi-cable.htm

we have, on rare occasion, seen devices which provide a nonstandard wiring setup where it is possible to route analog component video through an HDMI socket. These devices are extremely rare, and if you have one, your user's manual will clearly state as much. Unfortunately, because there are a few such devices on the market, there are now "HDMI to Component" cables being marketed in various outlets (we've seen them on Amazon and eBay), and the sellers of these products often do not appear to realize that they will work with only a very small, limited class of devices. Don't buy one just to try out; unless your manual says it will work, it WILL NOT.

The second one actually converts the digital signal lo analog and should work with any device.

hmm short a super cap with some steel or aluminium bar, and let me know how it goes....

You will need to get a new fuse.

or simply ground one end to the car body and watch it light up a rescue worker/bystander when it ground through them.

The moment any HV cable touches the car body the GFCI disconnects power.

This is how it works in current hybrid cars.

That is because Mozilla doesn't want to spend resources to implement old stuff that never really gained traction and already has a never and better alternative.

The current status is that SVG fonts don't seem to be very important for the
Web. Opentype fonts loaded via CSS @font-face are more useful than SVG fonts in
almost every way. By far the biggest reason to support SVG fonts is to pass
Acid3. I don't think it's a good idea to add an otherwise-unnecessary feature
just to pass a test.
