Your search is virtually impossible, because human nature isn't clear cut.
No matter what you do, you will be leaned on for support.
Best thing to do is to back out now, start telling everyone you meet that you know nothing about computers or the internet and in fact, your a luddite.
Make loud and stupid jokes about "those machines" and "the weird guys in block A/downstairs/basement/geekery" and take up a sport, like wrestling or hurling.
When your family ask you about your sudden lack of interest in helping them, tell them that you received a sharp blow to the head in a bizarre gardening accident and can no longer use a computer.
Follow my advise, become a closet geek - it's the only way to retain sanity.
When the Google buyout was announced, there was worry that this would lead to a multitude of law suits and this seems to be the case.
A logical conclusion for YouTube will be a heavily "sanitised" version which will ultimately end with an upstart competitor taking over, as users leave in their droves because they can no longer exercise the freedom they once had.
One needs to only look at the history of file sharing, specifically mp3, to see where this is all heading.
As soon as there's a tie-in with a billion dollar enterprise, the law suits start rolling in.
On the plus side, this is just another step in the direction of reinventing copyright laws and realising that there's a new type of consumer - the "now" generation who want to DIY.
Look how harmonious Webvastu is !

Yes, it's a picture of beauty which adapts web standards from, er, well from a few years back really. The site looks like a large blob of curry stains, but boy, is it ever harmonious, with the use of white text on a curry brown background !
Note how the footer is in black italic text and how the whole construct is cunningly created in tables!
Note the subtle use of a ruddy great drop shadow on the logo!
Hear the stunning web page background music when you visit the news page - that sounds like it's playing out of a toilet after a heavy nights drinking in a curry den.
Yes, folks, it's a far better layout than Slashdot, indeed.
After all, who needs good design when you've got Webvastu !
It's harmonious darnit, because we all love muddy brown websites!
These patents simply stifle competition and therefore advancement, so it stands to reason that Microsoft, being the kind of company they are, will practice underhanded methods such as this.
They are simply incapable of any real innovation and never have been, so they stifle and steal ideas and use marketing muscle to sell it as thier own.
I'd say these methods have a limited lifespan, as is clear with Vista. They are being beaten to the punch due to lack of this innovation, by Apple, by Google and by Linux.
No amount of FUD or threats is ever going to stop that, time to move over microsoft, as your going to be played at your own game and your going to lose.
So, erm, is Slashdot getting some of the old filthy lucre for posting bogus crud like this, so obviously in the same league as "test your IQ", albiet slightly more disguised.
Besides, the speed of my brain is the same speed as my body, my mind, however, is another story.
DoubleClick Inc really are the enemies of the internet that we enjoy today, yet they will argue ad naseum about revenue stream keeping the internet alive.
Thier marketing practice is little more than virtual fish trawling - destroying vast tracts of future growth in order to reap thier rewards.
If they manage to piss off 1000 users to get one click through, they have achieved an objective. How sad.
It's the most disgusting form of advertisting, as subtle as unsolicited junk mail and just as annoying. But hey, they make money from it?
So how about a revolution against these dire marketing tactics, that would turn the web into one big advertising board - I'd say that it's entirely possible to thwart these corporate assholes at thier own game, track thier methods and just jerk them around until they start to lose revenue.
Unleash a mess of spiders onto the web to emulate the traits they are looking for in users - a huge zombie net of "fake users" who fry any attempt to gain "meaningful" information - just complete random noise at massive level.
.. Canton City just got their first set of traffic lights installed.
Frank Forchione was quoted as saying:-
"Hot Diggidy, this new fangled technology sure is mighty fine !, but it's created a whole wave of crimes, and we'll just have to find ways to solve them."
I love the sound of the creaky chair in that video - would suit as a backdrop to the BSOD ! - now that's blue. Perhaps Microsoft will make it green and blue, with yellow text ?
As a bit of a dabbler with video, I've been through the videos on offer and right now, am hard pressed to find an exact need for them in my projects/ideas right now.
They are certainly interesting on their own and some could be used in specific projects, however, as it stands, they are really little more than a "teaser"
I hope this project gains momentum to realise a stock video archive of thousands of clips.
A video version of stock.xchng would be an incredible resource.
Given the fact that in general, British public areas are usually filthy in terms of grime and litter, I don't think this is going to work.
How do you know who slept in one of these "pods" before you, or what state you'll find one in ?
Some of the B&B's I've stayed in here have been downright nasty, as well as some hotels and hostels.
We can't even keep our hospitals clean. Also, everything gets vandalised here, even the windows on the trains have graffiti scratched onto them.
I can imagine "parties" occuring in these pods, where 4 or 5 kids crowd into them, drink themselves into a coma and vomit all over the place - don't think it could happen ? - heh, try living here.
... I'm wondering when critics will finally realise that PJ's Kong is a really bad movie.
Yeah yeah, I get it, he was creating a modern action movie as a sort of homage to the old B movies he loved as a child. Someone should've told him that modern movie goers are a little more sceptical about "indestructible lead actors" than they were 50 years ago.
They also should've pointed out that end-to-end action is all great fun, unless it runs for 60 minutes more than most people can stomach, featuring gun FX circa 1950 and Brody having giant critters shot off his body with a 1930's machine gun, hardly designed for accuracy.
It was a rotten movie and about as good as this "it's a slow day" story...
I've worked in a few high profile companies in the UK who are all very serious about adhering to web standards, checking all designs in internet explorer, firefox and safari, but I've yet to encounter a company who will ensure that Opera renders page layouts correctly.
What level of market share would you say is required by Opera for web developers to ensure their layouts render correctly ?
It doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to grok that most these complaints are from complete morons - duffers with more shine that substance, more muck that spine.:)

Oh, my Bad, out of the millions of websites out there, I found one I didn't know about.
Silly me !
... get the site design and code into this century?
Never heard of LiveJournal before, will probably forget about it after writing this.
Hmmm, taco has taken this 1/1/2006 to the poo extreme - have another gallon of beer on the house.
OMG, Pink Ponys Eating Monkey Poo ! - Cute !

That's a great first start to compete with Word.
Now all we need is an animated paper clip which says
"You seem to be writing a letter, would you like to
a. Punch your monitor
b. Scream
c. Smile a crazy smile and run around the office, naked and screaming"

How I would love that - possible? - perhaps?
... Breakfast and lunch ?
Hmm, maybe they did spot it inbetween breakfast and lunch, the statistics of that happening are high.
... He even used it to create his web page.
so are my balls, but I can still make a joke about them ...

wasn't that a porn movie you just downloaded ?
Huh, how can you tell ?
Well, I swear the heads started moving faster ?
Yeah - look, the platters are spinning like crazy !
Bzzzzt - bzt bzt bztttt - click clack clack thwack click clack
