YouTube is slowly committing suicide, by systematically removing the only content it has that is actually worth watching.
NYTimes.com reports that YouTube is removing copyrighted clips at an exponential rate in preparation for Google’s purchase of the site. Once this purge is complete, YouTube’s content will consist mainly of drunken teenagers injuring themselves/others and hipster douchebags […]
This kind of shit makes me wish that the internet didn’t exist. I think I just threw up a little bit.
I am so freakin’ glad that I decided to start hosting my site-oriented cron jobs on my PC instead of entrusting them to my webserver: for the third time in the last two months, they have ‘lost’ some of my data!

Advocates for simpler spelling argue that the dumbing down of the English language is a good thing.
They even picket the national spelling bee finals, held every year in Washington, costumed as bumble bees and hoisting signs that say “Enuf is enuf but enough is too much” or “I’m thru with through.”

“A Bristol teacher who resigned after her school failed to replace a squeaky chair which made “farting” noises has lost an employment tribunal. Sue Storer claimed she was the victim of sexist and bullying behaviour. The 48-year-old left her ?48,000 position as deputy head of Bedminster Down Secondary School last September.
