I too have been down this road. Youtube seems to be scared shitless of the content owners (big media). Their take down system makes it very easy to get a video removed and to keep it that way. If there is a "mistake" (e.g. you were granted permission or fair use obviously applies), you are cordially invited to take the issue to a court to resolve it. Since no one is going to spend money on lawyers for a stupid youtube video, the complainant clearly has the upper hand.
If you protest this injustice, you will be told that Youtube doesn't want to get sued again and that the best thing to do is not to source any content at all. They will suggest that you only use all original content to avoid having your videos removed. Seriously. That was their "solution".
Instead I promptly quit using youtube and started posting my videos to other sites like vimeo, and I've had no further cases of my videos being removed.
The marketers/spammers must have traced my username around the web and revealed my interest in sex. Apparently they worked out my email address too, because my inbox has been full of porn and viagra ads for years. And all this time, I thought _everybody_ got those kinds of emails. I can't believe this!
In this day and age, how is it possible that you can't find or borrow a USB cable to charge your device? Everything uses them. They're everywhere. You can't even pass gas anymore without your foul air encountering several USB cables.
Absolutely irrelevant. From my slashdot bio:
"monkey Sauce has nothing to do with squeezing monkeys to obtain sauce, or drilling a hole in them to drain it out, or anything like that. It is more like the sauce that you would put on a monkey sandwich, or the topping commonly used on monkey à la mode."
Maybe it was also meant to be purchased and used in a "low oxygen" environment. I'm sure the sound is much better when there isn't so much oxygen permeating your brain and impeding the high quality sound particles, etc.
we are all in the habit of just clicking past this screen and installing, and then hoping the app is not malevolent in some way.
Speak for yourself. If something doesn't look right about the permissions an app requires, I don't install it. If I wanted it badly enough I might contact the developer for clarification but so far there are enough apps out there that I've always just found another app that performs the same function without requesting whatever permission I thought was suspect.
That reminds me of the time somebody was telling me about getting a good deal on a "dropped server". I sat there trying to figure out what exactly he meant-- perhaps it had some kind of special low/thin or pivoting chassis or something-- but then he continued on about how the server fell out of the back of a truck before it was delivered to whoever ordered it initially. They had refused it and my friend snatched it up at a bargain price.
Funny thing is, it didn't last too long because it had all kinds of stability problems. I'm sure that was just coincidence though.
I figured it was either supposed to be ninety or niner. In case of the former... spellcheck? editing? In the latter case... was this story submitted via walkie talkie?
Holy shit, that's my birthday! Thank you Randall, I'm honored...::sobs:: I've been reading your comic a long time, but this was really unexpected. It's going to be the best birthday party ever!
Yeah, except that the only guy that can upgrade the firmware supposedly left to raid the vending machine, but in reality he's gone to sell company secrets, expect he's not going to make it because he'll slide off the road, and while hooking up a winch to get unstuck he'll get ambushed by mosquitoes and die.

Well I haven't seen any confirmation from netcraft... perhaps a committee should be formed to look into it.
I read that as average + accurate = accurage. Sort of like truthiness.
Internet shopping was never tax-free
D'oh!
unless you're crooked...
Woohoo!

Other way around; he used to work for Gillette. He left after they cancelled his 1000-blade razor project.
Speak for yourself, I work at a strip club!
The article is about cores per chip, not cores per system.
You're trying to compare a 48-cylinder engine with a bunch of 4-cylinder engines working together.
What kind of excuse is that for poor spelling?! Don't you have have schools up there anymore?
Today I don't have a recharging cable,

I use an iPhone 4
Ah. Nevermind.

Depends on the in-flight meal. So I guess it's Jello or nothing on the transparent plane.
I would be incredibly turned off if a girl started screaming "Oh, Anonymous Coward!" while we were going at it.
That's what you think. Summer Glau saved me twice last night, and it was wonderful.

More engineers/fewer managers and accountants?

Sure, I'm working on it right now. The site will be up shortly.

No, the RNA is just fine. The real problem is a DNA CNAME pointing to an A molecule that isn't resolving.

So what university did you go to? It would be useful for others to know which school to avoid.

"You're implying that a group composed entirely of male mosquitoes will... breed... and bite?"
"No, I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way."
