Microsoft have snookered us! We do not want to upgrade to Windows 8. So we have to migrate to another OS entirely. There is no way that the annoyingness of Windows 8 is outweighed by the annoyingness of learning a new OS. PLEASE MICROSOFT MAKE WINDOWS 9 NOW AND MAKE IT JUST LIKE WINDOWS 7 BUT A BIT BETTER NOT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!!!
Microsoft Windows 8 is a piece of crap. There is no other word to use. Windows 7 was awesome - and so Microsoft ditched it! It is the same with Youtube. Youtube was very good, and then Google came along with its stupid Google+ that hardly anybody wants and even fewer understand, and they completely buggered it up.
The reasons people are turning to Android are:
1. Apple is too expensive.
2. Windows 8 is a piece of crap.
3. Windows 7 is no longer installed on new machines.
4. Linux is still not easy enough to use for most people.
What a load of rubbish!
""Equality" is purely illusory, and not required for justice, anyways." - No. That is completely untrue. Equality is exactly required for justice.
"They are free to pardon Turing for that crime, and they absolutely are not required to pardon everybody." Rubbish. On what do you base this claim? Other than "they can do whatever they please".
Well actually the addition of "man" and "men" to a verb does not denote that we are speaking about men rather than women. It just denotes that we are talking about the people who are doing the verb.
What you describe is the beginning of tyranny. So who is it who is to decide which persons get better treatment than others? Cameron? The Sun newspaper?
Equal treatment under the law is the cornerstone of our "way of life". If they want to pardon Turing for committing the crime of Homosexuality then they have to pardon everybody of the same crime.
Completely pointless act and a waste of resources. I want the government to focus on real issues which actually affect people alive today not waste my money on "feel good factor" stories.
Google videos hides the duration filter option on the mobile version, so it is a struggle to get videos longer than a soundbite. But that is the agenda, to create a culture of people who can only pay attention to something for a couple of minutes.
Let's not even go into the catastrophe that the main youtube website has become since google took over - let alone the ridiculous mobile version. Almost useless and definitely too annoying to use seriously.
The reason is because there is a culture of "hiding" options from users. The current generation of software designers believe that "less is more". They are mainly vacuous minded morons themselves, who cannot pay attention to anything for more than a minute or two. They are the kind of people who like the "Windows 8 Tile Screen". Unfortunately for the rest of us it means that completing common tasks has become a 10 click process.
When they talk about Satan, they are using the word Satan but their description is of a different character. So they should stop calling their character Satan. they should call their character Fido or something like that. I don't think there would be much objection to a statue of Fido the Bringer Of Light.
If cold tires are the difference between having an accident or not then the car is not fit for use on the road. Period. I have driven my car in all conditions and never had an accident. Why? 1) It is a 1100 cc 2 door which could not wheel spin if you paid me to try; 2) I am not a w*nky twat c*unt face who needs to show off on my way to pick up a pint of milk from Tescos putting the lives of everyone else on the road in danger just to satisfy my lust for posing.
We need an Acceleration Limit as well as a Speed Limit.
Don't bother!
Start your own company or move to another company. Are you going to get a pay rise, options, stock or bonus for convincing them to hire more IT staff?
You should aim to change companies every 3 to 5 years for higher real compensation unless the company offers you a real incentive to stay. Not w*nky Christmas parties, fancy coffee machines, title changes and a better looking chair. We are talking hard cash. If they are not going to give you a bundle more money, then move on. End of story. Period.
And if you are thinking about "loyalty", forget about it. Companies are not loyal to their employees. When they want/need to "let you go", they will tell you to f*ck off with cold eyes quicker than you can type "IT Jobs" into google.
Why does anybody need to drive this on the public roads and why do I have to be put at risk by rich but classless twat c*nt idiots who want to show off? They can drive it on a race track and w*nk over the video of themselves later.
There should not only be a speed limit on the roads, there should also be an Acceleration Limit.
Eventually there will be more "bots" making posts than humans. But most people act "with the crowd". If one organisation controls most of the bots then they will hold enormous sway over "public opinion". After all, it is the perception of public opinion that matters - not the actual public opinion.
Also, it a bit sad that people want to be on social media (because they cannot be bothered to meet up in real life) and now they want the computer to think up responses for them (because they can't be bothered to think them up for themselves).
I listen to everything on youtube. It seems to have everything on there.
Of course, Google are doing their best to destroy youtube with their stupid Google+ crap, so I don't know how long youtube will be a useful resource for.
The largest internet companies could set up a non-profit organisation into which they donate funds to employs thousands of operators pretending to be children on-line. Operations such as this one (see youtube video aGmKmVvCzkw and watch "to catch a predator" and visit perverted-justice website) and start war against these ***********.
They do have the resources to make a huge impact. It would raise their currently battered public image too. They could flood the internet with so many fakes that there are more fakes than real children. They could use their resources to provide high quality legal representation, counselling for victims and their families and in raising education and awareness.
They will never be successful in censoring the internet. It is both technically impossible and philosophically undesirable. The best thing we can hope for is to Police it adequately.

If an average man were naked at that spot - how long until he dies?
But you can get the Adblock extension for your browser. It blocks all of the ads from youtube.

Why abruptly? There is no need for rudeness. Just find another job and move on in a cordial manner.
Er, pull the other one... nobody who comments on Slashdot has ever had a single girlfriend, let alone two!
"I don't pay my staff to find..." You must rub a lot of people up the wrong way with that attitude.

In what way are they subsidized?
Everything is on the internet without adverts.
Eventually there will be more "bots" making posts than humans. But most people act "with the crowd".

That is the nicest thing I can say about it.

Criminals and The Government. The distinction between the two groups is a bit of a gray area though.
The largest internet companies could set up a non-profit organisation into which they donate funds to employs thousands of operators pretending to be children on-line.
