I had a similar experience months ago with a false positive on their copyright-enforcement system. There is no effective appeal, as the system is so heavily automated. I tried contacting them, but never was able to get a reply, even after a few attempts. I just stopped posting videos on youtube. They are on my own personal website now, but without the youtube social promotion system they aren't going to get many views.
Just my dabblings in video restoration and blowing fruit up with a capacitor bank.
Same tactics from the producers, but also same behavior from consumers who have to know if something is popular before adopting it. I suggest not looking at counters when choosing stuff for yourself.
But millions of people look at what's popular when choosing what to buy, and they can't all be wrong, right?
But billions of people look at what's popular when choosing what to buy, and they can't all be wrong, right?
Lego is not a fad. However, buying Lego sets and selling them for a profit is a fad. As an example, the 6000 parts Taj Mahal was for sale around £200 I believe and now people try to sell it for £1000. It's obviously not worth that as a toy, because you get equally challenging sets for £200 - why would you pay five times as much? The only ones paying that money are idiots who think it is an investment. And once you run out of idiots, the prices will drop.
We're running out of idiots? Surprise surprise surprise.
I'm assuming that when you say "you" you don't mean me. Since I don't live in your country and don't have any of your problems. I simply observe from an outside perspective -- nad I see a lot of carp in your drinking water.
That's the important question. And I got to say, the more I hear of his antics (dopplegangers changing their name to his?) and novelty drug habits, the less inclined I am to give him the benefit of doubt on this one.
It will soon be revealed that he killed Hans Reiser's wife.
And the Enquirer will report film footage of the event in eleven years.
The British scientists decided to abandon the mission after trying for 20 hours to connect two holes in the ice that were needed for the hot-water drill to work, said a BAS spokeswoman.
Without a connection between the two holes, the hot water would seep into the porous surface layers of ice and be lost, reducing the pressure and rendering the drill ineffective
I RTFA and all I can say is "Huh?"
A case of hole overrun. They tried to sink 7 million pounds and couldn't... oh wait, they could.
And by design, Word & Excel will ratchet themselves forward in versions (especially if you're working with clients). So why invest significant time in an infrastructure that is designed to break?
In car sales, that is called dynamic obsolescence.
Yeah, this bit of info could be of relevance to nerds. Infringement of 3 software patents has been adjudicated by a jury for over a billion dollars. So a single software patent can fetch you more than enough money to build yourself a complete custom made yacht. From one infringing company, that too.
Guess that could be enough motivation for nerds to obtain software patents.

Does Gallagher have the copyright on that?

Neil Armstrong was a gaming nerd!

What is it with programmers and measuring money to more than two decimal places?
FWIW there used to be a plastic coin called a mill worth 0.1 cent. You still see millage in taxes.
They worked out so well last time.
An example was Oscar Levant.
The barber said he was going to open a butcher shop : "You mean you are going to close this one?"
"Elizabeth Taylor should get divorced and settle down.'

I don't understand this - how are ventilation stripes a design language?
Can someone explain what the hell is snow white design language created by this guy.
Designs by the seven dwarfs?
Its "living in a shithole" that drives theft. The people of NYC would want to get their act together.
But its a crapulous one.

a voice of reason on slashdot? whoah...
Or was that giddyup?
How about just ignoring these articles and moving on with others. The McAfee software does not quarantine Slashdot stories from you.
Yet.

Because if you update to the next version of Word or Excel, half of your macros break. The simplest-yet-complete rant on this I've seen is here: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/comptoolsExcel.html

I am a chicken, you insensitive clod! No offense, I just woke up on the wrong side of the road. *bluck*
But I showed the armadillos that it could be done.
Not to mention carelessly adding to the space-junk in the atmosphere.
Which has the pesky habit of falling down.
I've just noticed a huge vulnerability in keyless entry on cars - you can open the door without a key!
** just so we don't have a story without a car analogy **
You can get in some convertibles without opening the door even if the windows are up.

Self ironic irony an iRON asteroid?
Geico thought the Neanderthals had died out too, but they were proved wrong.
Anyway wouldn't the earliest surviving wells be made of stone
Of course, but the earliest surviving wooden wells ...
Neanderthal were still plentiful in Europe around 7K to 5K BC
No, they were not. Neanderthals died out about 25ka ago.
It was their healthcare that did it.
