Sign up for an account at youtube, and click UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS. You'll get a bunch of warnings about not uploading any video content that you have not created yourself. So, the uploader was already at fault, he broke the terms of use by uploading the video in the first place, and was warned that it would possibly be removed.
I bet YouTube receives some 10,000 DMCA takedown requests a day. You can't expect anyone to investigate every single DMCA notice.
Then again, YouTube will happily leave any video up until someone asks them to remove it, or they'd lose 95% of their content, and all that would be left is the 15 year old emo kids talking shit to their webcams.
How do they get to middle and high school without basic reading and writing skills? They should have been held back. What does a highschool dimploma mean if you can't even read it?
Of course kids don't pay for their consoles, but the article wasn't about who paid for them, it was about owns and actively uses them. I've met a surprising amount of adult good looking women who are hardcore into fighting games, CRPGs, and survival horror games, not only that, but they've been into them since the days of Atari.
The video game demo isn't made up completly of 'comic book guy' type people. Sometimes that hot chick avatar who just beat you black in blue in Mortal Kombat really was a hot chick, and you'd never guess, until she told you, or you inquire about that stack of game DVDs under her TV. I just found out someone I've known forever rushed out to get a Wii and the new Zelda game because she was a huge Zelda game fan.
Video games are a more profitable business than movies, and we don't have studies that ponder if adults watch movies. Why wouldn't they? Even, my father in his fifties, who would never play anything other than teris or mahjonhg on his PC has been intrigued by the all the recent ads for the war type games on TV, and actually went to get one and check it out.
The history and discovery wings channels have lots of flight sim and WWI game commercials (while airing WWII documentaries, and shows about planes). You don't think that kind of targetted advertising is going to hook some older customers?
Why not try making a serach engine that just works? MSN search is the biggest piece of shit on the internet, and I bet google still gives more relevant results on shit than msn would. You know what... browse away for a second, and actually do a search for shit on google, I bet msn's search is the first result. MSN can't even find stuff on their own MSDN site, but whenever I use google to search the MSDN site, the page I'm looking for is the first result!
This isn't an anti MS rant, it's the simple truth. Good operating systems, but shitty search engine! MS, you don't need to win every war. Let Apple have their ipod, let the others have their search engines.
The software seems to record your display into a.mov file. Why not just put a watermark over the screen at 75% that says something like "This file created with a pirated version of Display Eater".
My PS1 is going on a decade now, and the SlimPS2 I've had never gave me one problem. I got lucky I guess. I've never had a console break on me except my xbox. The DVD drive got worse and worse until it just wouldn't load anything anymore.
This year will be eventually spun into a bad year for games, because they didn't make x^y billion more, and it will be because of piracy! Damn you no good consumers!
I'm on Wikipedia almost everyday, and banners wouldn't bug me one bit. There is lots of free space on Wikipedia to put some simple static banner ads. Along the side of the article, under the main menu, it's all empty space. Between the space that has my username, and options, and the top of the article a wide banner can be put.
No flash. No sound. No blinking GIFs. Just static banners like in a magazine. These are the kind of ads I actually end up looking at, and click sometimes.
If your reading about comics books, chances are you have some interest in seeing the new ghost rider movie. Marvel comics can hype their movie all along the comic book section. Stuff like this isn't very invasive.
Let car companies sponsor their sections, let academic products by ads in their respective areas, etc...etc... This wasted space under the navigation menu is just begging for 1 skyscraper advertisement.
Just make sure that under no circumstances do any advertisers have any editorial control over any articles. However, if they go with annoying flash ads, or something like that, then I hope Wikipedia HQ burns to the ground.
If I go take a piss on the clerk at BlockBuster, are they neglecting my privacy rights by giving the surveilance tape, and my card info to the police? YouTube exists to upload NEW content that you own the rights to. Not un-aired episodes of 24.
I don't remember anything in the TOS about them hiding you in their attic from the police.
Eventually, once the site is public, that won't be the case. As it stands, the only people who should be on the wiki are the people working on articles. And yes, our Real Name Rule will ultimately require people who want to change articles to provide an email address. But anonymous people will be able to read the site once it leaves "pilot" status.
Then why are you wasting time advertising it to the world? I wanted to check it out too, and then was immediately turned away and turned off.
Oh well. Good luck, and hopefully I can see this sometime in the next few months.
Mod parent up, he is no troll. This is the truth. I've been all over this week, and everytime I see a PS3 demo unit, I want to play it, only to see that it has crashed and burned. Every single one.
I think maybe it should only be banned as being cited as the sole source of information. It's not hard to head to the campus library and read a few books on the subject. Failing that, just fail the students who consulted only wikipedia and has a paper full of false information. A bad report is a bad report. What does it matter what the bad source was?
I enjoyed that mode. I guess if you found it boring, you didn't put as much into it? I can imagine deathmatch not being much fun either with a group of sluggish players who all found it boring.
An endless supply of space images that look like someone passed a few blur filters over a fractal image. They are all really the same, and you can't really see anything for the most part. If you've seen one star cluster with a bit of purple gas, you've seen them all really.
2 second video clips of someone's hands infront of some pole, or clunky machine with a black backdrop.
Ugly people floating around in small spaces.
It's not really something that gets to be interesting unless you are directly involved in it, and there is no immediate payoff to being in space. It's just a big empty space. Our space technology is the equivalent of rubbing two sticks together to make fire. We can't even leave our own front yard yet. We've been going up and down the driveway for the past 30 years, and wondering what the other houses on the street are like. In 30 years, we'll probably still be doing the same thing.
With Neverwinter Nights, lots of people splintered off an ran their own little mini-mmorpgs, and it thrived. Just because this game can support thousands of players, doesn't mean an operator has to. Limit your server to 25 players, it worked fine in NWN, it can work fine here. It was fun having small communities where everyone knew everyone else. You knew who the good guys were, you knew who the bad guys were, and it wasn't just hundreds of random players passing you by.
As long as you get together a community site where people can post their server connection details, and their rules, you can have a strong following for the game.
Like the Director's Cut of Resident Evil. It added a new box that listed a bunch of new features that weren't actually added, and then supplied the same exact game with a different label.
Not every artist has mass market appeal. You can't sign every artist under the sun, and press millions of copies of their CDs, when they are never going to sell. If these artists want to get a big deal and hit the mainstream, they are going to need to produce content that appeals to the mainstream audience.
Self producing junk that no one wants to listen to isn't taking a moral highroad. Just because you can put up a webpage with some sound on it, doesn't mean you diserve radio play.

And what if you paid for those movies?
Can I get in on this racket? :0)

Jack Thompson just pasted that into a long file of quotes for his next case. He might send someone to dig through your garbage.

I think Fuzzy Zoeler is a bad pseudonym for Harry Johnson.

We'll wait until 3 weeks before it hits to do something about it!

Linux just rolled a 6, but landed on a space that said take ten steps backwards!
