For the skipped seasons/episodes, it's too bad that they couldn't also put on a "this video is not available because parties X/Y/Z would not sign off on it (e.g. don't blame us, blame them)....

What do you want to bet this is going to be $4-$5 per installment.......and is there a sunset date. Also.....I'm sure there are provisions that prevent you from sharing out to others of course......

I remember reading (way back) where a system engineer/developer was told to implement a system that would allow the company to partake in spam campaigns. His way around the dilemma (do it or get fired)? He went ahead and implemented it, but made sure that any of the traffic this thing generated was properly blacklisted in the majority of the spam filters (before turning it on).

Heh...I have a lexmark printer that I purchased about 12-14 YEARS ago....I'm still on the original toner cartridge that came with it

You have a way to block the youtube ads? What do you utilize to do this? (I've also noticed that more and more yt ads no longer allow you to skip after 5 seconds, and even worse: (at least the yt client on android), that there are some videos that inject ads in the MIDDLE of the video I'm watching...the only reason why I continued to watch, is the content was decently produced and interesting

Trying to be funny, BUT since the actual charges levied against this guy was due to him discharging a firearm. What if instead he had something somewhat like Spiderman's web shooters---CO2 powered instead of gunpowder, and the payload is some sort of glue like "netting" with a tether attached to it. Idea being that you have something to gum up the flight systems (to bring it down), and then the tether would allow you to potentially recover the device itself. (Main thought on the tether--this would be an easy way to prove that the device was within a certain radius of your home when you took it down)....

until they decide to extend the copyright another 30 years beyond whatever it is now..... (THANKS Sonny Bono) :(

He didn't approach this in the correct way--rather than announce what is going on, he should "adjust" his curriculum on the remaining tests, projects and labs. First make the students sign a (re)acknowledgement about the school's policy on cheating & plagiarism. Next adjust the projects/labs--make them "in class"---you can work with people (including seeking info from the instructor/teachers assistants), but no internet, only allowed to use the course material etc. (I had a teacher who did this--and was interesting approach as you actually learned more than straight lectures). This mitigates plagiarism. Next bring in half a dozen people for the exams to proctor it (if this is where the bulk of cheating was happening). If you are caught, then it's a dead to rights thing, and you are turned into the university. This mitigates cheating. Finally, from personal experience, in some cases if you get a "D" in a class, you have still technically "passed" but most of the time you have issues later on if you try to use it (most universities won't accept it if you transfer for instance). Change up the tests (and curve) enough that the class still passes, but with a VERY low mark--enough that the majority of the students have a "D"

actually they are already doing this (saw this on my mobile, XBox, and PC, they break the video at mid cycle and inject an "interstitial" video ad, and then continue where they broke in....highly annoying

only problem is they are now injecting video ads in the middle of the videos (which drives me absolutely INSANE)....

...Or just pulling something out of thin air at the last second to meet some publisher deadline (like the Eragon series)?

yes....but did Java have all of the millions of apps that were indexed by a single entity, and more importantly made it easy for anybody to access and use?

One of the things I first checked into when I moved to Arizona. They are single party consent, and since I'm the one recording my call, I don't have to say a blasted thing to anybody on the other line--total win!

They went over to this where I work (I call this the bullpen arrangement), and my biggest initial complaint was the managers were not in the bullpen with the rest of us. Thankfully at least some of the higher level execs had the wisdom to say "no that is not going to fly" and made them change it around...now the offices are "break out/mini conference rooms"....

....or alternatively what do you want to bet that this will be priced to a point where it will be impossible for the normal person to take advantage of.
