That role was the first to go - the others are just side-effects.

Great name? Rant on Dave!
BTK video
Or a snuff video
Can't walk the walk? Then don't talk the talk!
More to the point - all copyright or ownership of the video became forfeit to the young man when he was being tortured. And it has passed to his legal hiers. So if they don't want you to watch it, or wish to remove certain portions, you do not have the right to watch or distribute it.
The only exceptions are fair use, or genuine public interest (with 'public interest' determined by a legitimate authority - like a government fighting the murderers)..
Supporters of the GPL, or any copyright-based licenses - this is particularly applicable to you.
In related news, free-will has been conclusively proven to be an illusion - whether for man or angel - by a Slashdot forum poster studying the BiBle. Imprisoned serial killers have used this fact to successfully challenge their sentences.
Pesky references to God opposing, curtailing, casting down Satan in certain books of the Old Testament have previously been mitigated by skillful redaction efforts.

Shush, don't bother this guy with facts. You're just making little tears in his comfortable conspiracy-cocoon.
I reviewed the parent post and don't find that insulting at all... I thought he was quite polite.
Cadbury, for their part, aren't timeless traditionalists. Famously, they had to revert oil its substitution of cocoa butter by palm oil in Australia:

Well I'm not, so speak on please
What false flag operations?

... at least for gaming, the winner is 3 x 30" LCDs pivoted to portrait mode, according to MaximumPC magazine in 2011:

I don't have this setup but tried pivoting (smaller) monitors before (work apps, not games). I hit these issues:
1. Mainstream monitors (22"-24") are too narrow for some websites or applications
2. The 'Colour inversion' effect
This is worst with TN panels.You basically need the panel more or less perfectly vertical and have to look at it dead-on.
Even with TFT IPS panels, there's something a tiny bit 'off' that I can't put my finger on - its as if colour reproduction was designed to be optimal in landscape mode. Or something different about pixel spacing, or how sub-pixel colour elements stack up next to each other... Just guessing here.
3. For desktop use, you end up bobbing your head up and down.
