So it's perfect for the business.
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

Viacom will look at it and decide what it is people watch and make production decisions accordingly.

That would be about 165 billion cards, which at your typical 250cpm punch rate would take 1255 years to punch. Google should get started.

They'll need to use the inside cover of Astounding so they can order one of these^ They ship it to Sony, Sony reads the data and ships it back; then they program in the next 4K of info . . .

I just type "squirrel." We have red and grey here in South Dakota. The black ones are more to the south. We also have what is called a 13-striped ground squirrel which is like a tiny, tiny prairie dog. Where I used to live I had a large squirrel colony. They were always running across my roof between the maple trees in the front and back. Where I live now we had one large red squirrel but he got run over this last winter. I have a grey one that visits sometimes. This spring I was painting the privacy fence and heard a scritch-scritch-scritch. I expected a baby bird to come over the fence. Nope. Just a large squirrel. We looked at each other for a few seconds and then the robins chased him out of the yard. On youtube I also query often of "racoon" and "cockatoo." However, I don't have an account so I guess I won't be part of their search. Whew!

Impressive! I was just trying to be inspired by the Monthy Python's Holy Grail where King Arthur ask 'Which kind of Sparrow' when ask for the speed of such bird! ;-) But no worries! BTW, where I lived, there was never much squirrels, but since I'm in Australia, there is always heaps of Oppossum around, some times fighting on the roof! I guess they are our local squirrels!

My ex's father (from Aus) used to call me possum because of my long fringe (bangs for US people). You should look up the US possum; they are HIDEOUS compared to the Aussie version. When my friends from Aus visited the US they were mesmerized by the squirrels. I thought it was funny; but then again, most visitors to Aus find kangaroos cool. I've spend enough time there to equate them to the deer. Stupid, stupid, animal!

I'm a British subject, so retrieving electronically stored personal information about me without my permission is prosecutable under law. If enough of us make a fuss, Viacom will find its costs rising quite dramatically. And how will governments like that of China feel about a US corporation poring over/pawing through personal information of their people? + Adding my vote for punch-cards.

I'm with you. If viacom want it for the reasons they claim there is on reason why the data can't be annonymised. Why do they need actual IP addresses and user names. Why not just a list of videos and unique view counts. They clearly want it for something more suspect. Personally, I'm not actually clear what's illegal and what isn't on YouTube. I've looked up music videos and stuff like that. Are they illegal? They're awful quality and I don't make any attempt to download and keep them. Generally I look them up to get an idea of new bands I might like - that little similar videos bar is cool for this kind of thing. (So actually benefits the music industry) What about immature comedy videos with backing music? I bet the creators don't have broadcast licenses, are these illegal?

I think Google should supply the data to Viacom on printed paper in 2pt font. That would force the aggregation to be a manual process, possibly taking years and lots of $$$$, and rife with potential errors that could be leagally challenged whereupon they would be obliged to go over it all again to verify.

My vote would be to print it out on paper in and ship it. With a bit of effort, the printout could be in random order using a font that is hard to OCR (e.g. faded dot matrix on old style fan fold paper). A rough calculation places the volume at about 5,000 truckloads of paper. Technically speaking, they would have the data but it would take them approximately 200 thousand man-years to scan and collate under the very best of circumstances. Microfilm also might be another option. Takes up less space but just as awkward to digitize.
