you have absolutely no understanding of how brains develop.

brains are not stamped out of the same die like computer processors... THEY GROW.

you're an idiot.

the cablecard rules are to allow encrypted digital signals, while allowing 3rd party hardware to decrypt those signals without the need to share encryption keys with every manufacturerer. cablecard solves that problem. a tuning adapter allows the cable company to not distribute channels that no one is watching. forcing you to rent a tuning adapter is criminal.

TUNING ADAPTERS ARE A PURE PLAY AGAINST PIRACY AT THE EXPENSE OF SUBSCRIBERS.

present yourself to me; admit what you've done, then i will kill you.

no... it's required for the level of service they want to POTENTIALLY provide. the system must still work if every channel is being watched at once and everyone else is watching on demand content.

do you also wish the FCC would disallow the use of other communication protocols? perhaps spanish?

if you don't care if content providers ignore you, then why are you not ignoring them?
