So it should be fine if I came to your house and stole your HDTV right? I mean, it's less than $1000 so no one should care. And we should all do that.

Restore from backups and call it a day.
CorporalKlinger, don't listen to losers who ask you to give up. Someone has to stand up to these motherfuckers. Pursue it till death, I say. All the best.
The CEO of Activision who's primary goal is to milk as much money from computer games as possible by any means necessary.
'Who is primary goal'? Fail.
Truly amazing that this post got modded 5, I thought the Slashdot community were the ones in the know. GM is more about patents, lawsuits (making many farmers broke), proprietary seeds (with lock-in) and terminator genes than about benefits to the end user. Considering the ignorance of the people it's not even worth explaining more, they were supposed to know that when discussing this thread.
No offense to the guy, but the community did it to prove a point. Someone needs to be the sacrificial goat..
Really? I have two facebook profiles. One with my real name, with very limited details, and one with a fake name where all my RL friends can find me. A google search brings up nothing about me, even though I was convicted of a felony 23 years ago, there are no pictures of me on the internet that I can find, and I use my real name for nothing, including my WoW account. My phone, cable and power bill are all in fake names, and I rent for cash from a former employer. My vehicles are registered to me, at a 10 year old address and my DL shows the same address. Which the banks also have as my permanent address. I use a PO box in the same county as my "official" address shows. Not everyone is willing to let the government or corporations track their where abouts and doings with ease.
How did you manage that?
You're right, in the initial iteration, HDBaseT will bring nothing great as far as technological advances go. It will probably come into the picture later because they claim it scales well. I read that ethernet is capped at just 100Mbps initially, and power at just 70W- barely enough for a 40" TV.
And torrents do it even better.
Free OSes are now comparable in terms of usability to commercial ones, and in technical terms are years AHEAD of commercial OSes.
I really don't agree with that. Usability constitutes many things including UI, graphics and even device support. On the desktop, Linux is lacking in all departments. It is inconsistent between programs, and within the user interface itself. Device support is shaky and unreliable. OS updates to some distributions like Ubuntu nuke the whole system sometimes. Many things don't even have a UI. And lastly, none of the desktop environments look modern and cool. There are many many other issues with free software that have caused it to fail for home environments; unless they are accepted and worked on, free software will continue to be for nerds and not the masses.
... to see what it was about. It launched 60 friend requests from fake sluts, in 60 different taskbar windows. And then I terminated the process and uninstalled it.
