Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Has anyone read this article??

Not me, because I don't fit into this category:
"You see, although Windows Vista will be released later this year, most of the monitors on the market today lack the HDCP support needed for high-resolution playback of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs on your PC. In fact, there are only 12 monitors that we know of that support HDCP. In short, not only will you need to buy a new graphics card for Windows Vista, if youd like full-resolution HD-DVD or Blu-Ray, youll also need a brand-new monitor. Because of this, at this point in time, we do not recommend purchasing a non-HDCP monitor......"
That's what my home theater is for.

So then this is only for playing back Blu-ray and HDDVD on the computer, that's it? It's not going to make you play all your games at 800 x 600 or something right??

Impossible. You have to realize that only people like 'us' (the people that hang out on forums such as these) have enough knowledge to know what this content protection is all about. The un-knowledgeable masses will buy into HDCP and their money is what will fuel it. Enthusiasts are a small market in comparison with how many people are going to be paying for the technology.
