A couple of weeks ago, I got sent a copyright claim by Machinima, stating that I'd copied a portion of their video and was passing it off as my own work.
Machinima stated that I could keep the video up, but they'd keep all the revenue that it made. Nice.
Upon inspection of Machinima's claim, it turned out that not only was their video a compilation of inferior quality clips (a top 10), it was also uploaded 2 years after mine.
I disputed the claim and it was quickly dropped.
What annoyed me was how easy it was for them to bully me and YouTube simply complied. Since their video was uploaded after mine, I was very tempted to make a counter-claim for the exact same reasons.
I don't run an ad-blocker, but my company's WebSense configuration is blocking a good 95% of them for me. I'm starting to run into problems where websites are assuming that I'm running a blocker and are refusing to serve content*.
The bigger problem is that what if an ad network is unable to serve an advert? Ad-block detectors generally work by checking if they got a result back from the ad server. If they don't then they assume the client is at fault and either block the content or redirect to another page. Are we soon going to start seeing websites randomly redirecting because there was a network error?
* Granted, I should be working, but I'm entitled to a bit of downtime every now and then, aren't I?
The engineers should turn it into a game: count how many cables they can disconnect in a hour and then try and beat that record. They'll be done in no time!
Even though the boy made a simple mistake, it won't take the great British press long to find some super tenuous connection to an act of terrorism and link him to it.
As soon as North Korea starts getting a little excited and starts sabre rattling and threatening other countries, China will tell them to shut the fuck up or they'll withdraw aid.
When details about the extent of the data loss became known security expert Troy Hunt said he had "run out of superlatives to even describe how bad" it was.
He should have invented a new word, such as badest.
Apple: "That'll teach you to infringe our patents. Now give us the money." Samsung: "Fine, here you go." (Hands over check for $548 million) Apple: "Thanks. Oh, by the way, how is the manufacturing of our new processors coming along?" Samsung: "Oh, erm... Our running costs have gone up, so we're going to have to pass the increase onto you, I'm afraid." Apple: "How much has it gone up by?" Samsung: "$548 million" Apple: "Fine, here you go." (Returns check)

And to make sure you enjoy them, especially the rotating items on display during loading
You can move and rotate the items on the screen, so that's something to do while you wait for the next section to load :)
I don't get it. I was thinking it might have been 20160401 in decimal, or it was something Bender said in Futurama.

WhatsApp is forcing older OS owners to move to Telegram.
Put your music, video and pictures on the SD card. Everything else goes on the internal storage.
So how do you block 'number withheld' calls on your mobile?
You don't answer them. If it's important, they'll leave a message.
That's right! One renders your system inoperable, the other is a Windows fatal system error.

The app market is where the smart money is now.
(Not games though, Zynga's $180M purchase of Draw Something was insanely moronic.)
Yep, in response to the "Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot?" post, I think the first port of call is definitely proper UTF-8 support.
So Live is just Facebook's version of Periscope?
Tim, iPhone sales are down for two reasons
1. The smart phone market is over-saturated.
2. Every bugger that wants an iPhone, has an iPhone.
Stop trying to claim that things like sotck market fluctuations, El Nino, IS or Zika are to blame.

Maybe he should change his name to B Square B :)
But the Hatton Garden burglars were caught because they used one of their own cars within view of a security camera.
At least they're keeping it old school. These days people steal things using hoverboards.
Overeating responsible for obesity.

Well of course the source code is provided, no Linux user is going to install something without first knowing what it does!
Serious Linux users are also fine, because the flaw has been fixed :P

Why are the authorities after the creator of Bitcoin?
