If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.
That's possibly the best advice I've ever heard, well, besides:
BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.
If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.
On the contrary, its at least as expensive, if not more.
How?, since when does a cash prize that has not been awarded and a message to your label manufacturers (to include a couple lines about a video contest) more expensive than hiring professionals to make videos about your product. Let's not forget that many extremely costly ads do not make the final cut because they are deemed unfit for tv or miss the intended point completely.
sifting through them requires full-time attention.
What were those little stars next to the video for again? A free built in rating system used by millions of users? Sounds like it could be used just as effectively as a full time staff for sorting through the videos.
And maybe that comment system could be used to gather useful ideas about future ads. Just a thought, but while many of those videos are laughably bad, some of them could be ROFL funny. The contest seems to be getting enough publicity for youtube users to watch and rate the better known ones. Poorly made videos would probably be left in obscurity.
Since the police are now accountable for what they do, I see this working in favor of the citizens; also, this encourages the people to clean up after themselves. Where I live, the volunteers who clean the freeway (Hwy 99) have decided to send a message to Californians by leaving a huge pile of trash on one of the freeway exits (It has been there for over 2 months now, and could remain for a few more) The British will not have to resort to such tactics, due to the strict enforcement.
I could not see this as a privacy violation, as it is no more invasive than the cameras mounted on CHP cars. The video feed would be almost identical to the videos recorded by security cameras, which very few people seem to object to.
