Depends what you mean by that. While it can make sense to have a script that looks at a series' past success and give an index to all future shows based on this, then market in that priority, it's generally easier to do it by hand. That's assuming I understood what you meant, as there's many ways you could automate it - but most are reactionary.

FYI - I work in Digital TV in Digital Marketing, so this is all fairly common ground.

Eugh. I quit the site as soon as I saw it was divided into 10 pages. No thanks.

For some. You're over generalizing here.

I agree completely. The students that misuse the laptop are going to end up getting a grade they deserve, regardless. This professor is putting the burden on himself, when it should remain on the students.

Well, the decision is yours, but we can hardly help you without context. Post the website, everyone else does so freely!

Alright. Keep your eyes open near the end of the week for the completed work.

That's alright, but not quite what I meant. I mean a resource you can give to the media that isn't a satire.

Maybe a one-page website that, in essay form, outlines the issue in full.

Queue space travel.

That was my point, yes :)

You can remove yourself from the site and deactivate the account, but once you sign up that data will always remain, even if not displayed.

I would have said 500-1000. There's only so much you can convey in 3 sentences.

Well played.

Sydney here. I feel the exact same way. The first I heard of this was on reddit. I'm thinking of building a website dedicated to making this issue heard. I have a fairly influential scope that could generate TV/print media regarding the issue, what do you guys think?

This whole thing is hugely sneaky. Clearly the proposed plan was initiated as an opt-out, however after heads began nodding it was changed to mandatory. And now the thing doesn't even bloody work, while fucking up the internet.

On top of all this, I don't think this Conroy chap actually understands the internet. He doesn't understand the scope, the open nature, and how it constantly changes in a way that is impossible to regulate. Hell, Google is only what it is because it was the first company that was able to create any sense of order out of the internet.

Most illegal stuff is transferred via bittorrent. This will do nothing.

The worst child pornography abusers will find their fix elsewhere, to the extent of creating new and secret websites to share their shit. Does he honestly think putting in this kind of regime will make these guys step back from their computers and say, "Well, fuck it, I guess I can't look at a 6-year-old flat chest anymore. Time to move on!" All this bloody thing will do is create more clandestine measures of subverting authorities.

This whole thing is like the war in Iraq, and why the US has failed. There is no enemy. There is no "Terrorist Central" that they can nuke, wash their hands of and say, "Well, that was a jolly good shot! They are all gone, problem solved". When one insurgent falls, more stand up to take their place. And in the meantime, thousands of innocents are adversely affected by the whole shit storm created by the situation. This is like DRM. It does nothing to stem the problem, and it fucks shit up for everyone.

The only people who stand to gain anything from this, assuming the media believes the babble and society is not informed of the ineffectiveness of this plan, is Conroy.

You have to send out reminders essentially every day the preceding week, duh.

God, the current version manages to inflict damage on itself with ease, not to mention all the "fatal" errors. If this isn't an emo operating system, I don't know what is.

So, I hear there are these things called libraries... but not the book kind! Are they some sort of new scienc-ey development I haven't heard of yet?

If you are planning on doing some form of book, why not a website instead? Hell, make it collaborative, and count me in. I work in PR relating to E-Business, explaining this stuff to people who (well, at least the vast majority) still think websites are pretty pictures with a 'contact us' page.

Top 5 ways to X.

Where X = Anything.

Seriously, this guide has the same points made in any Startup Guide, regardless of current financial environments.

Try deleting your Facebook profile my friend, just try.

I'm in complete agreement.

On the same token, if your password were to ever get in the wrong hands, you'd be pretty much fucked, no?

Keyloggers, seeing the password written down somewhere visible, or even having someone convince you to tell them the password (social hacking) are all very simple ways to get access to someone's account. These are all pretty stock-standard ways to get a standard web users password.

It's kind of like moving all your money from different dodgy international banks to one bank, and then having that bank robbed.

I agree to an extent but I don't think there is a better place to put it. I've noticed it, but I doubt too many people are actively using Chrome yet.

Go simple, shorter words are better for a huge amount of reasons; easier to remember, can be said quicker (name with lowest amount of syllables), a short word-logo can have larger font than a long-word logo of the same size (perception). Anything that's long isn't sensible.

funboxed.com was my vote, because it's the shortest and the sound rolled off my tongue.

I'm a PC and I sell fish.

This is brilliant. Only today I was doing some web design where I fucked around in Flash for a few minutes putting a cross-fade together.

When i'm on the clock tomorrow I'll test how well this performs cross-browsers, and if all runs well sub this in... the site's already utilising jQuery.

EDIT* Funny, after some very quick testing I found FF to handle it the best. Opera was a little jittery, especially with the zooming. Chrome was more jittery, especially with zooming.

IE handled everything fine, except the zooming, which seemed jittery too; however surprisingly it didn't seem quite as bad as Opera or Chrome's rendering.

Safari's out of action on this laptop for a few days while i'm tinkering with it, so I can't test how that renders.
