I also one that claimed to have used my PC's camera.
I replied asking them where my camera was as a couple of years ago I had stored it in a box somewhere, and buggered if I can find where I put the damn thing.
They never got back with the answer so I'm still missing my PC cam.
So it's my impression that they are not very nice and/or very lazy people. (I mean would it be so hard to send me a quick reply telling where my cam is?)
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

Well - one thing they don't have are any of my passwords.
The TO: address was one of my countless throw-away emails. Apparently from an insurance quote from so long ago I don't remember who to punish for selling my email address.
However - if they did have such a video, I'd thank them, upon distribution, for the free advertising of my um, urh, ah . . . "wares". That'd be an interesting strategy . . . ask them how much they want to hurry up with the release.*

When I got the last one it reminded me I once bought a web cam, so I dug it out and plugged it in, dammed thing was incompatible with USB 2. The temptation to bait them was almost irresistible.

Hello Tarbox,
Thanks, I really appreciate the effort you put in spreading my content.
However, I'm perfectly capable of posting my own video's on PH, XNXX, xHamster and the like.
In fact I'm a programmer and I've written a little application that automates this task.
If you'd like me to do the same to your video's that I have here please let me know

It's such hot stuff that it can't even sustain base clock-speed. Of course you get base clock-speed back by putting it in a refrigerator: Quote: Drop the system in the freezer, and the render time drops to 27 minutes, 18 seconds. That’s a roughly 31 percent improvement, and it corresponds exactly to the minimum specified clock the 2018 MacBook Pros should be holding in the first place.

Anyway you slice it, that's a saucy comment. Topping it off, it's a bit cheesy, too!

I always crust the volume of a pizza with radius z and thickness a to be pi*z*z*a.
If you do as you suggest, the volume is less. Which may be surprising, beacuse if you cut the crust off to make it square, and consider z to be the length from the center to the edges, then its volume is 4*z*z*a, and pi is less than 4.

We're adapting an existing product for a new generation of hardware, and we received confirmation the other day that a 'feature' that's always been a PITA has been removed. I've spent the last couple of hours removing its Cthulhu-ian tendrils from my part of the application.

Code removal: The best kind of refactoring. 
Less is more.

Indeed. A while ago I had a memory problem in this application. A couple of months of memory profiling and heavy refactoring later the code was significantly smaller, no longer had the memory issue, and performed better to boot.

Caveat: The statements below are based upon my experience with .NET 3.5. YMMV.
1. This was my first C#/WPF application, coming from a background in C++/MFC. I found the lack of deterministic destructors... concerning.
2. Some best practices in C++/MFC are worst practices in C#/WPF - caching resource references, for example.
3. .NET flow documents and their viewers are unusable for documents larger than a printed page or so. They leak dozens of megabytes per navigation.
4. Similarly, .NET page objects and navigation mechanism are simply broken. They retain references forever, guaranteeing that memory consumption grows.
