more like, passively strips. I guess. Somehow over the air HD channels can send captioning through a digital only signal, but HDMI cannot/doesn't. I've never been able to understand the distinction.

And yet, for years I'm unable to get closed captioning to work across an HDMI cable between various tv's, cable boxes, and DVD players.

HDMI supports NO closed captioning, and it hasn't supported it since ever.

Have they fixed the lack of closed captioning in HDMI? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

They announced the shutdown July 3, 2012, a 16month shutdown windows doesn't seem that abrupt. also, according to wikipedia, iGoogle launched in in May 2005.

Is chrome the only broswer that has problems with the idle.slashdot comment thread. It anytime I try to open a closed comment, it refreshes the page and only gives me the comment, it doesn't expand the comment inline like it does in a normal comment thread. I've always been to lazy to try other broswers.

I second this. My closed captioning disappeared on me. It took a lot of time to find the secret hidden combination on my cable box to enable them. All because they don't pass CC info across the cable, or the spec, or something.
