Comment Re:Storage (Score 3, Informative) 317

I'm not a hater. In fact, I have a trashcan in my studio running protools right now. This machine is targeted at folks like me running high-end audio and video/graphics applications. I see the product page now. Glad the storage is upgradable, but let's face it, OWC will charge a premium. I was only pointing out that during the presentation they didn't even mention storage, outside of the fact that the BB model comes with 256.

-"poorest, most backward 'drunk as fuck' area (Ireland) has finally settled into peace."

wow, just wow. I could mention that your knowledge of Ireland and the conflict there has very little to do with religion, outside of the fact that the Brit's in the north are Protestant and the Irish were primarily Catholic. Or that those backwards drunk as fuck folks produced poets and writers such as Yeats, Joyce, Wilde, Swift, Beckett... but I'll just say, wow, just wow.

Not sure where the attribution should go to, maybe Mencken. "Freedom of the press only belongs to those who can afford one." And although it may not exactly apply in this instance, it's always a good idea not to confuse the First Amendment rights with censorship. While Amazon may not be committing a First Amendment offense, it is clearly censorship, for good or evil.

Heh. I use Pro Tools for my livelihood, so Audacity is not a viable solution. Yea, god forbid if I posted a video with MY voice on it. The problem is that I have no idea what I was terminated for, so as you point out, it's all just a guess. As I point out, maybe I did do something that Youtube believed was worthy of 'termination' maybe not, maybe it was just some mistake, I'll never know, because the review process and appeal process is obviously broken.

I had my account terminated a couple of weeks ago. I had the 48 hours to appeal, however I didn't have any idea what I was appealing. Because whatever I did (or did not do) was considered 'grievous' no warning, just termination. They don't have to tell you what terns of service violations you may or may not have committed. Just a link to a page with all of the possible things you may or may not have done wrong. My account was pretty small, some songs I've written over the years, some videos of 'how-to' for protools and a few vids that I did voiceovers for. I wrote an 'appeal' that was pretty generic, that basically said, "hey, could you tell me what I did wrong. I'll fix it and promise to not do it again." Their reply, 48 hours later, "your terminated." I didn't really care about the content, the worst part is that I no longer have a youtube account and lost my history and all the stuff I used to like to watch. Now if I go to youtube, it's all cat videos, makeup tips and the top viral crap I don't care about. Yea, youtube needs to get their act together on this stuff, at least tell you what you did so you can appeal it properly. sucks.
