Wow, had been following a ccc account on YouTube for some years, had no idea it wasn't official. Now subbed to the real source - thanks. :)

Are you referring to the incident involving author Philip Roth's book "The Human Stain"? The problem there appeared to be that Mr Roth took exception to the Wikipedia article which mentioned published reviews of his book wher

Content ID is automatic and relies on matching fingerprints of existing video. If you upload something that's known to be copyrighted and where the fingerprint is already (or subsequently becomes) known, content ID is what monetises or

I remember trying out Zmodem early on, only to find that it obviously had some kind of bug in that it would reliably and consistently drop the line after a certain amount of data had been transferred. Not so, of course - but unlike Xmodem a

OK, so, the obvious "congratulations" messages aside, what's really in that file? Example: Take the PNG, convert it to another lossless format. Then convert that lossless format back to PNG. Different file size, right? OK,

I got that far too. I don't believe it - there has to be more to it than that. There'll be something else in that file that's better hidden, for sure, and I'm pretty sure it won't be plain ASCII and hex. :)

"It may be no coincidence that in the last two weeks Paramount has struck a deal with Netflix to stream new episodes of the much-awaited 2017 Star Trek reboot globally within 24 hours of network broadcast." Er, it certainly would

No, HMRC rents its offices from a commercial company - it just happens that the company is headquartered offshore. HMRC themselves aren't dodging tax, and I'm sure there is no suggestion that the offshore company is doing anything

No 3G, as you say, but Ofcom's mobile coverage checker shows Kendal bathed in 4G EE coverage, with a good chance of good indoor reception. (And if not, a 4G router with decent outdoor antenna should help enormously.) Or there's al

It would be great if they could publish the live subtitles they produced for all the talks too, so they could be read as (close enough) transcripts.

IA seems to have a bit more than that - the full list is here: https://archive.org/details/usenet Obviously the UTZOO collection is one of the more significant ones, but there are thousands of others too, including Gig

I'm still trying to get past the idea that any significant number of people would rather SELL a broken iPod that was still under warranty, rather than get a warranty replacement themselves.

"Yet Cirque, as a corporate enterprise, is very different from Disney or MGM. Because it is a circus, the viability of its business is rooted in the willingness of a core group of performers to risk their lives on a daily basis."

Agreed about the documentary. I don't think it's fair to describe this as a "con", though. Larson merely spotted a consistency in the game, and played it to maximum effect. All perfectly within the rules and regulations,

Adult Swim's GM signs off with a pretty chilling taste of what is to come, though: “We want to … create original hits that can be more broad without losing the Adult Swim sensibility" In other words, "we want to fix everythin

That's as likely to be effective as the famous "To use Bebo/Facebook/Twitter you must be over 13. Are you over 13? [Yes] [No]" option. "To get the thing you want, you have to say Yes. Will you say yes?" -

More googournalism by the BBC there - L750 Betamax tapes run for 3h15m (in Europe) and that wasn't even the longest length available.

People would pay good money for that kind of secure erasure if it could be triggered on demand. :)

This article seems a bit wooly and doesn't really explain how this personalised delivery is going to be achieved - but a real-world example of genuine ad personalisation technology running right now in the UK is Sky AdSmart: http:&#x2

Unfortunately modern "news" is not based on evidence, merely the event of a claim.

This seems like a nice idea but all the results seem to be pretty much indistinguishable from noise. Nearly every show I tried returns the same genres and keywords (and I think it's reasonable to say that Frasier is NOT a crime show in
