That's a nice list. I have kind of sortof heard of some of them. Every once in a while I think about checking one of them out, but I really just don't care that much.
I have a blue blockbuster card in my car. Maybe I'd get their box if it was cheap enough and guaranteed to work.
Disclaimer: I do use my PC to record TV, using some cheap Hauppauge card. I use TitanTV for the schedule and watch with VLC, where I can skip commercials with a couple of ctrl-arrows. Between that and other avi files of, um, murky provenance, I have little time for buying more hardware. But my point still stands; Don't underestimate the marketing factor of a known brand. For crying out loud, even I say I "Tivo" something, just because everyone knows what that is. I don't say, Yeah, I Hauppagued that on my PC...
So, one could skirt the "specific image" issue by constantly changing one bit in each image (so it hashes differently) and changing the name of the file?
Any complaint could honestly be answered with "yes, image DCF31BBFDEE7ED4BB57B0FDD0914C5.jpg has been removed from our site."
Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?
My mom used to hide notes from the rest of the family, in plain sight, using short hand.
She was a secretary, back in the day. When you saw some scribbling on a note, you knew it was the chrismas shopping list or something, but who the hell knows what it said - even if you had a copy of Gregg's you'd be hard pressed to figure it out, unless you really wanted to spoil the surprise.

Do they hire contest winners?
The cynic in me says maybe it is just a way to sell more games to wanna be writers... a come on, like "can you draw the pirate" on a matchbook.
Turing machine cannot exist in a bounded universe because by definition, it can store an unbounded amount of information.
What if you use virtual memory?
Ha!
10: Eat, Drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!
20: Heh, an aging brain implies you are still alive.
30: goto 10
Perhaps you would prefer a direct call to your cell phone offering such items...
Oh, I almost forgot - I think your car warranty has expired, but it is not too late to extent it! This is your 2nd notice!
One word (maybe two?): D'oh!
Somnambulent sounds like a good trade mark for sleeping pill. I'm getting somnolent just thinking about it.
Like I tell my kids...
It is not the cost of [insert animal here] it's the maintenance, food, license, vet shots.
Do you have any idea what your vet will charge to neuter a mammoth?
And we are talking about full-on GARBAGE bags to clean up after it, on walks.
for not buying the extended warranty!

I hate to ask, but is it doing any useful science anymore?
We already know the "three month" mission has stretched to 5 years, so I assume the budget has stretched too.
If it is still doing something useful, fine, but if money is being spent just to see how much longer it will "live", it doesn't sound cost effective.
deadly and vaporware is more commonly known as sbd. Everyone knows that.
Any device that failed to work.
Maybe the headline should have been "the worst"?
In any event, nature will take care of things sooner or later.
Almost EVERYTHING governments do is not in the public interest.
Apparently Ford cant make money off the FIRST sale of cars and trucks.
Somehow that reminded me of the good old:

That just can't be.
Good enough to help elect a president, good enough to buy hooker ads.
Not much difference between the two (hookers and politicians, no offense).
What about odd spellings?

hiding a message in such a way that only the sender and receiver realize it is there
I ignore lots of ads served up by them. They might as well not be there, I can't name one.
Last time I checked you can't "void" a check you no longer possess. You can, however, put a stop on it, but that costs more than $2.56 at most banks.
It is a "network of tubes".
The ratio of 2:1 is not enough.
What? The bright guys get no gophers? Who will run the Starbucks?
You need minions.
Besides, there already is a Eureka
And, duuude, I bet that one already stocked with waiters and janitor types.
The lag one would have in a spacecraft to Mars would make me even more depressed.
