Google's response accurately states that, under the DMCA, it is the responsibility of the copyright holder to identify infringing material and report it to the hosting site.
The problem with that is does that make it ok to put up copyrighted stuff then? Can you just put up anything and wait around until the copyright holder says something? There's probably a good amount of time in there to profit off of their work. I should start a website and put up TV episodes or movies for download for free and make money from the advertising. Some copyright holders may catch on early so I'll have to take down their particular stuff, but I could probably make a nice chunk of change before they all found me out. BUT you say YouTube/Google isn't the one putting up the videos. Come on, they damn well know what's going on. They willingly let it happen from what it seems like to me, and yes they make money from it.
I have to agree with the parent and side with Viacom (strange for me). I don't get the first few posts saying Viacom was pwnt by Google. I didn't see that at all from reading both letters.
Well for me at least it's pretty easy to tell if a video on YouTube is from a TV show. I don't know if it is Viacom's TV show but that shouldn't matter to YouTube if they are all copyright infringing anyway.
They can just switch them from one temp to another if they want to keep them around a little longer. That's what CitiMortgage does. They have their own temp thing called Citiflex and then when that runs out they switch them to Adecco employees. Then they periodically dumped about 30 of them in the dept I was in. It's great for morale let me tell you. Picture one of the Harry Potter dementors sucking out your soul.
Is there a law against keeping people perpetually on as temps?
MS and Dell? The aren't into data recovery that I know. If they were then they could have definitely got stuff off of those formatted hard drives, come on.
Yeah no kidding. Formatting is one of the easier recovery scenarios. Well I don't know how many knowledgeable data recovery people MS and Dell have though so that's not surprising.
Oh yeah, and according to the tape that every freshman in my college had to watch, if a girl and a guy get it on, there is always a way it can be considered rape no matter the circumstances.
They need to start showing videos on the opposite, how you can know it isn't rape, because everything was rape in the videos I watched.
Yeah it only works for a very specific problem which is a low percentage of hard drive failures. Basically, don't try it if you really want your data back. You'd be better off sending it to a data recovery company. The less you do to it after the failure, the better chance of recovery.
Yeah, I was hoping someone would say this. They will probably fail less but they will be very hard to recover. Plus there is all the current infrastructure and experience built up at data recovery firms currently that will gradually become obsolete.
Then maybe you should partner up with a solid data recovery company. I have one I could recommend:)
We do have specialized equipment (in addition to our experienced techs), even some hardware from Russia, and a large inventory of thousands of parts drives with all attributes stored and searchable in our database. Even with that we occasionally have to order a matching drive. There are just so many variations out there to deal with and occasionally finding those can be very difficult if we don't have one in our inventory. We have some vendors that help us in the search as well.
Please contact me if you are interested or want to learn more.
Buuuuut, if aliens had their own math then we'd still be able to use our math to decipher theirs, since math is really the same throughout the universe. It is a man-made system to a small degree, basically what symbols we use and our methods, but the reason that math works is inherent to the universe just like physics. Otherwise math wouldn't work at all actually. Neither would physics:) I consider it a sort of discovery like biology and physics discoveries.
Well I for one currently use algorithms I learned in CS. It would be hard not to. Sure I don't have any use for a lot of that stuff in my job but it has an application somewhere. Plus, I learned how to think which is probably the most important thing.

Since my My Documents, My Music, My Pictures folders take up over half of my hard drive space, I'm guessing that's a bad idea.
Probably for the same reason that those people aren't using it now.
I have a 1200 MHz Pentium Pro. At least that's what my POST says :)

We would have done it for less than $71,800
That's cool, thanks for the info. Can I ask which data recovery specialist you used?
Forensics is definitely an interesting market for data recovery companies. We see all sorts of interesting stuff, some quite bad.
Yeah that would do it :)

I like your thinking but NORAD is already tracking every bit of space trash in orbit.
It sure looks like it repeats to me. I saw it!

AaAAAaaaaahahahahaha, funny. 99% with only software tools?

Please send us your broken RAID5s
We're quite good at recovering them and other difficult ones. (unabashed self promotion)

Yeah all right, I can agree with that.

Then where would you get your fast internet from? You'd have to pay for satellite or some crap because Charter is it where I am.
