        Do you ever stop being a dick? Have you been a dick for the entire 70+ years of your life or did it take you 50 to perfect the art?

        I never claimed to be influential, I was simply stating what happened and issuing an apology, anything else you read into that is just you trying to pick a fight. So STFU and save your pissing for the political threads, this one pertains to business.

            Awhile back, I threw DH and GTS under the bus so to speak. I started a thread saying I was boycotting them and that everyone else should too, because of his decision to broker ads for tube sites.

            I jumped the gun, and I should have given DH time to do what he said he was going to do, which was to work with those sites to use only sponsor provided (and personal user uploaded amateur) content.

            It looks like the sites he represents are headed down that path, and I should have given him the benefit of the doubt.

            I've been really frustrated lately by the loss of income that I can only assume is due to the massive proliferation of free content available, mostly on tube sites, and I guess I took my frustration out on DH and GTS.
            I shouldn't have done that and I apologize.

            Boycotting GTS over tube sites is like boycotting your local grocer for selling Clorox because clorox's parent company was found dumping toxic waste somewhere. At some point you'll end up boycotting every company in the world over something you don't like because they're all interconnected in some way.

            A friend pointed out to me recently that it would be hypocritical of me to move my hosting to Ch00pa after what I said about DH, because apparently Ch00pa hosts some of the biggest tube sites. (I didn't know this at the time)
            After some reflection, I decided he was right but that it would be silly for me to boycott Ch00pa, and therefore it was silly of me to lump GTS into a group of people I won't do business with.

            They still may not want to do business with me after what I said about them, and I can understand that, but they deserved the apology anyways.

            I'm Lenny2 (aka Snake Doctor) and I approved this message.

            You are a fucking moron and a pussy now.
            Ya should have quit while you were ahead with just the moron part.

                        the only way I can see that happening is in rural areas where time warner is the ONLY option for those people, so they are forced to do it
                        I don't know, there are only a few companies to choose from in the country. If one does, why wouldn't the rest fall in line? It's not like there is a ton of competition out there. It's partly the reason why our connections are so slow compared to other parts of the world.

                                            You are correct Embeded Flash videos are not secure. Now do some reading on rtmpe. Screen capturing recording is only way to get that. We use a different watermark on our streaming stuff, so we'll see if it gets ripped off I suppose.
