Comment I doubt approval from YouTube is even necessary (Score 4, Interesting) 287

It's quite likely that large corporations like Universal, Viacom, etc. have access to pull things down from YouTube on copyright claims without Youtube's approval.

I assume Youtube assumed these organizations would use their power responsibly. Perhaps that assumption needs to be revisited.

Is it a dead branch? look at this kid. He seems quite able to function in society.  Evolution requires many, MANY 'misses' before it gets a 'hit'.  Take a look at homo sapiens for example, and all the various "missing links" before it.  those species all died out because they were dead branches.

Comment My forum has noticed! (Score 2) 211

I run a small forum that uses recaptcha . I used to get about 5-10 spam registrations a day. On the 6th I got 148, and the 7th I got 230.

I eventually instaled a plugin from StopForumSpam.com which is a combination blacklist/keyword checker to help weed out spammers and it's back to normal, or even below normal levels.
