Quote - however, as long as that is, it fully describes who , what, hmmm.. no where ... plus that awesome string of numbers.
POSIX and any modern filesystem gives you up to 255 characters to describe the thing with (minus four for the the dot-extension, thanks to Microsoft's stupid insistence on those things).
If you can't do it in that kind of space, something is way wrong with the contents...

Quote - I'm still not seeing the problem with the advertising, Sean.
There was once a time when folks paid for Cable TV because it bore no advertisements. Now, you can't find a single non-movie channel on Cable (except CSPAN and the ComAccess channels) that doesn't condense an hour of content down to 34 minutes of content + 26 minutes of ads. They've even launched that irritating credits-compression where you see the closing credits for one show on one half of a split-screen, opening credits for the next show on the other side, and adverts along the bottom.
The web itself once kept itself to maybe a banner ad along the top of a page and a couple along the side, nice and discreet. Now they're jammed into every crevice that CSS coding allows for, and pop-ups are as common as zits at a high school (and the funny thing is, some of us remember a time when the web had no ads...)
The radio? Forget it. Aside from one station here in PDX (94.7 FM, Heaven Bless 'Em), the morning radio is full of lame jokes and ads, with maybe two songs an hour if you're lucky.
IOW, I think we've been a bit pounded flat with ads, ne?
