TV ads are usually worth more per viewer than YouTube ads, because they get a large number of people to react at the same time, even in the age of TiVo people are still watching live streams for things like sports, and even an "I Love Lucy" effect (you know, jokes like water pressure changes based on Lucy's commercial timing) on popular shows.
Viacom and the other "content owners" collect billions of dollars a year from all the cable/satellite companies, just for the right to carry their programming. If I never watch a single minute of TV, Viacom and all the others still get paid.
Viacom doesn't get paid for what didn't work like Nick GaS (Games and Sports channel) or CBS Eye on People (a CBS News rerun channel). Why not? Because the channels no longer exist since nobody was watching.
The key to this is the ability to send NAK packets back upstream so that the DDoSers' ping requests get returned to sender instead of making it to their intended target. Seems like we need a better roll-out of this idea if RackSpace is still falling victim to this.
Remember... ACK means acknowledged, I've got that and it sticks. RST means reset, I didn't get that right, we've got something that doesn't add up to the checksum, let's go back to a previous numbered packet. NAK means, I got that and I don't like that. Go away, and would a router upstream please add a firewall rule blocking whoever sent me that.
Yep, Random Sort is subject to bad draws of randomness that cause it to randomly walk to a longer solution. A combo technique of random sort somewhat, then bubble sort is often effective.
A key part of all database systems is the fact that you can ask for a sort order without having to write a sort program. While simple sorts can move quickly, a bubble sort can move even faster. When you're dealing with a multimillion record table, this saves minutes and power per query.
Everybody develops Bubble Sort the same way, proving it's an eventual discovery that no longer qualifies for patents. Teaching it is a basic way of showing the programming language's loop terms and variable scopes, so it's an elementary program to write.
I guess this dance is reminding us that Bubble Sort can be applied to dating. If the girls rank themselves correctly, it takes a bunch of "go over there..." dates in order to get it right.
Game shows call this a "champion's advantage" that trust the player who has been there before more than the challengers, such as the ability to move first, or even an buzzer system that gives them control to ring in later yet still be the first recognized to answer.
Here on Slashdot, it's "You already gave us enough good stuff, you start at 2" or "You paid, so here's the story before it's open for comments so you have time to prepare yours."
Until the 4K TVs become popular, 1080p is the limit your camera can successfully show to you. Any other pixels are a waste of disk space unless you're saving everything for the future.
There used to be better sort options here, like "5s first" combined with "Most Recent first" so you could see what's being popular and respond to that.
For those of you just joining us, peers given mod points hand them out to review comments posted here. CmdrTaco's site has seen a lot of controversies with this system in the earlier days, and M2 was invented to review the mod point decisions. Lots of discussion has been sorted by this system, and the crap found on other servers has been eliminated.
Viacom led the YouTube lawsuit era, but ABC/Disney, NBC/Comcast and Fox/News Corp. followed behind. Content owners want you to watch on cable TV, not YouTube.
Yep, you can't capture a cable network and upload it to YouTube without permission. It took a lot of work to devise that scheme, and throws the concept of designing your own DVR out the window.
Steven Colbert doesn't work for CBS, his show is sold to Comedy Central and his future project is sold to CBS.
The Daily Show and Colbert report are part of Comedy Partners Inc., which was first the joint venture name for Viacom and AOL Time Warner when they shared the Comedy Central network, but is now the company headed by Jon Stewart that supplies the programs to Comedy Central.
Colbert is moving to replace David Letterman on Late Show, but that project is owned by Worldwide Pants which has run Late Night/Late Show since the beginning. CBS buys the right to broadcast it.
I meant "as it happens" as in "live" broadcasting... MSNBC will tell you about something gone wrong Saturday midday on Sunday, there's no same day program that can handle that news on their schedule.
Well, Ergen takes them to the showdown... DirecTV avoids interruptions by paying fees Dish considers too high. Sometimes they use a court agreeing there should be a deal, but need a fair arbitrator on the prices involved.
Yep, the problem is at Fox News Channel Inc. (the company that holds the copyrights to Fox News and Fox Business produced shows.) NFL is carried the affiliates at Fox Television Stations Group and produced by Fox Sports. Dish Network fans can still see the games on Fox.
Dish costs less because they're willing to tolerate these lockouts... DirecTV is similar and available most places Dish is, and gets its deals done on time, but has to pay more and passes the costs on to consumers.
There's a problem there... MSNBC's weekend lineup is filled with "Lockup", a program about jail that they ordered a batch of too many episodes. CNN is broadcasting mostly recorded programs on the weekend. So, only Fox News is covering the world as it happens with weekend newscasts during the day on weekends.
There exists some people who need to know what Bill O'Rielly is talking about each night. Those people can't tolerate Dish's occasional dropping of networks. DirecTV gets most of its deals done without disruption, but therefore has to increase prices more often.

1080p monitors are rolled out, 4K monitors are too new. Anything bigger, uhm, you're going to need to assemble a video wall to get that to work.
Did they get a patent first? Amazon already has barcode scanning in its app, and I guess a bunch of recognizable spines could be next....

IPads and Kindles make good fill ins when you need a sub for your surface.
Yep, science that's kept to one person or a small group doesn't accomplish much. That's why the innovators must meet somewhere or somehow.

CBS was warning of a possible block that would have affected Comedy Central earlier this year.
Well, Ergen takes them to the showdown... DirecTV avoids interruptions by paying fees Dish considers too high. Sometimes they use a court agreeing there should be a deal, but need a fair arbitrator on the prices involved.
Think of how expensive everything would be if all the pallets didn't exist requiring extra workers at the ports...
Yep, the problem is at Fox News Channel Inc. (the company that holds the copyrights to Fox News and Fox Business produced shows.) NFL is carried the affiliates at Fox Television Stations Group and produced by Fox Sports. Dish Network fans can still see the games on Fox.
Apparently the news stations are shouting "price increase!" and DirecTV accepted and Dish, as usual, rejected.
Dish costs less because they're willing to tolerate these lockouts... DirecTV is similar and available most places Dish is, and gets its deals done on time, but has to pay more and passes the costs on to consumers.

You don't understand Slashdot....
Dish Network is a information service that uses DBS bandwidth... and we talk about TV shows geeks like around here.
If you want tech business only, check on the weekday business day stories. If you want the fun stuff we do with tech, it's here on the weekends.
There exists some people who need to know what Bill O'Rielly is talking about each night. Those people can't tolerate Dish's occasional dropping of networks. DirecTV gets most of its deals done without disruption, but therefore has to increase prices more often.
