How is it a "huge problem"? ASCII has a number of control characters too. A whitelist is a great idea, but why is the whitelist so restrictive? Just grab a copy of the current Unicode Data file and whitelist all current non-control characters. And if you're concerned that Zalgo might come, I suppose you could omit any non-spacing chars from the whitelist without people complaining too much (though perhaps it'd be good to include the ones that are actual letters in various Indic scripts).

In what way is that unlike Amazon's system?

That's not actually true--you definitely don't need a driver's license to vote in Texas.

No, the key has to be inside the passenger compartment to start it.

I was replying to Sable Drakon, who said, "But DisplayPort and Thunderbolt aren't in common deployment on PCs ..." in response to someone who said that "display port and thunderbolt are already widely deployed." DisplayPort is widely deployed on PCs, and anyone who doesn't have DP but wants this computer monitor (see headline, "4K Computer Monitors Are Coming (But Still Pricey)") can easily get DP. If someone wants 4K for their home theater, they'll have to deal with the HDMI limitations for now, but that's not what we're talking about here--we're talking about computers.

My Gigabyte Z77 chipset motherboard has a DisplayPort connector for onboard video. Many other motherboards also include a DisplayPort. They're rather common.

I don't know when you last looked at video cards, but pretty much all of them have had DisplayPort for the last 2 or 3 years. NewEgg currently lists almost 300 video cards that have at least one DP or mini-DP connector: here are the 195 that have exactly one DP connector.

Are you off your meds or something? I have no idea what /. would need to save me from. Certainly not from you.

Khybering up another thread, I see...

No, pretty sure he could also get the .com domain if he paid $250K. Regardless of whether or not he accepted the free .org. I don't see any strings.
