Google hopes the big-name content holders will accept ad revenue instead of out-right take-downs, which tick off small Youtube publishers and viewers, and risk Google being sued for censorship. However, that ad revenue is tiny compared to the old-fashioned way of selling entertainment.
But that's life in the Internet age: viewers have too many options to be forced to stare at boring, cheesy, blowhard ads for too long.

listen to more AM than FM when I listen to the radio because I prefer talk radio...
Other than sports talk, the talk scene is almost entirely right-wing ranters spouting conspiracy theories about how the Evil Gov't ate their dog and their homework.
I'd like to see "debate radio", whereby you have an interchange between a left-leaning host and a right-leaning host. Getting a one-sided view is not healthy.
the founder of Christianity actually taught peace.
That's a matter of interpretation, Luke 22:36 and Matthew 10:34, for example; and the Old Testament cannot be entirely discounted in terms of what measures still apply.
bloody business was brought about by people in power wanting to keep it, often by stopping others from discovering the message of Christianity for themselves.
Indeed. The little research that has come out of it is not worth 100B and could have been done other ways. Mir did human occupation longevity studies, for example, and was smaller and cheaper.
Scientists were hoping zero-G materials experiments would prove fruitful, but so far not much. Perhaps we'll get lucky and something interesting will be found. But so far, it's an F-35 program in space.
Yeah, or Bernie Sanders supporters. Eat the rich! We'll all finally become prosperous and everything will go our way!
Other countries do most of the things he talks about by taxing the rich. It sounds like you don't get out much.
Granted, they do have smaller houses, smaller cars, and less trinkets. If "stuff" is your main goal and you don't want a safety net, then don't vote him.
Come up with a better one if you think this one is flawed.
I have to agree the silhouette analogy will go over like a lead balloon, based on my experience trying to explain technical things to "regular folks".
But I also agree agree that good analogies are hard to come by.
Maybe addressing an envelope: a convention of communication is established whereby the destination address goes in the middle, the return address in the upper left, and the stamp(s) in the upper right.
The Bible also has some rather violent suggestions. Such books are kind of like a Rorschach test: you see what you want in them. They both have tolerance and violence.
After clobbering each other bloody for a hundred odd years, Christian factions finally saw a giant clue-stick built out of caskets and learned to coexist peacefully. It's not Bible passages, but reality that changed them.
It's related to item #5 in the original list. You could argue it's not "outright wrong", but it's still highly misleading by omitting that the grant was really about testing elderly brain exercises. Video games are a sub-topic of it. If you went to school and passed, you know to summarize (title) on the primary topic, not sub-topics. Crashmarik's list is either a poorly written summary via sloppy thinking and writing, or intentionally slanted.
Al Qaeda should launch Sharia Linux if they want to do in Gates' work, at least in part of the world.
To be frank, the world would probably be better off without Microsoft. They just used one monopoly to get another, killed off competition by shuffling resources from different product areas to bankrupt any threats, and made businesses dependent on their convoluted standards, whose convolution made compatibility hard to include in rival products.
That being said, I don't condone killing stupid or evil business leaders. Instead, make them watch Justine Bieber and Miley Cyrus videos all day.
Arguing with nuts is usually a waste of time. People who hallucinate Jews under their bed are still going to "see" them under there even if you have 50 witnesses; they'll just say the witnesses were paid by the Jews to lie.
Rock, paper, scissors, hallucinations. Hallucinations always win.

That's what you git for dating Billy Jean Gates
He's now an H1B working for MS

I stuck a pic of Rush Limbaugh up instead. Some trolls are probably trying to chew him out over the "creative" things I said about their mothers.
Microsoft fix stuff?
Bwaaaaa ha haaaa haaa hooo hee hee he ho ho ha haaa ha ha haaa ha ha heee he ho.
That's a good one. Woke me up without coffee even. Next, try asking The King to get out of your parking spot.
I first read it as "ISIS Completes 100,000th Orbit of Earth". I was thinking, "well that's a good place for them."
or ask Putin
Well, we could torture them, but they lost the instructions.

I would like some clarification on that.

Unfortunately, Islam is repeating history.

They must have picked up the habit from post-evangelical conservatives.

It's from a conservative website. I bet they exaggerated most of these and/or left out key details of the story.
Bzzzzt, she does not say that. Gun control is not outright outlawing all guns, but rather banning assault weapons and better background checks.
They will certainly have creepy children
So if we make a Claude Van Damme to belt ISIS, they're okay with it, but not if it's gay, brown, Muslim, from NY, and/or has no birth certificate?
The plot of Weird Science comes to mind. Bad dick; go to sleep!
