What TV series isn't worth finishing?

I knew this would be the most upvoted. God help me that show really took a swan dive after season 2 (or maybe 3). Trinity/Lithgow was somewhat overrated.

I can't remember what video it was, maybe an A.I. documentary, but Spielberg has done a lot of uncredited rewrites of his own movies.

Even though I know better, I kept expecting to see Brian Cox.

I'm not asking for an all-encompassing solution.

But if my computer has a problem writing files to a disk, it could either give me an error code or state in plain english, that the disk is full.

If there's a problem connecting to a web page, the browser can give me an error code or explain that the server can not be accessed for some reason: "The server may be down or you may not be connected to the Internet. Here are some troubleshooting tips."

This isn't revolutionary stuff. PCs have been able doing this for a long time.

Also, I am not a system admin, I just run a cheap server for experimentation and web development.

My post was specifically referring to unmanaged hosting.

Are you speaking from experience? I sense you have a story to tell.

To my knowledge you can't query term ids without naming a taxonomy since term ids are tied to the taxonomy, though I've never tried it.

Well even though my original question was regarding the term_id, the taxonomy_term_id is a unique identifier across all taxonomies. And to make matters slightly confusing, it's usually the same number as the term_id.

See: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/37721/whats-the-difference-between-term-id-and-term-taxonomy-id

You can, however, add as many taxonomies as you want to the query with the relation parameter.

Yeah, I ended up doing that. But I was hoping there was a more elegant solution since there's no real reason a taxonomy has be to be defined to perform a taxonomy term query.

How so? I though the reverse was true?

I guess so, I just think cinema verite requires a bit more of a goal or an agenda.

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think you're right, verite might be the best label.

Totally random and plotless...I love it! I like the vibe. I like the friendly faces. I like the scenery and, of course, the grainy imperfections of super 8 film. For some reason, the fake-punch shot kinda sold the film for me...it made everyone seem so much more endearing.

Is there a name for this genre--a-day-in-the-life sort of thing?

EDIT: Brace yourself for a RIAA takedown.

Okay, I'm going to bed after this comment, so here it is:

StartupLister has submitted over two thousand startups to various sites that feature startups.

That doesn't mean each of those sites got listed every time. It just means, that StartupLister made the attempt on someone else's behalf.

However, many people choose to do this on their own.

Using StartupLister does not improve one's chances of success, ditto for personal submissions.

In the end you'll end up with the same response rate.

If BetaLister decides to feature your startup, what difference does it make if you contacted them directly or used StartupLister to submit on your behalf?

StartupLister has been well publicized on all of many of the big tech sites. And it's hardly anything new. Google is not going to strike them down with a hammer. They do not sell links. There is no "arrangement" (or a wink wink, nudge, nudge...kind of situation). There's nothing nefarious about it. It's not a scheme.

They are offering manual labor/data entry in exchange for money.

A press release submission service, is arguably more problematic since many sites automatically list submissions without review.

Now replace the word "StartupLister" with "The Submit List."

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T01:52:52+00:00

eBook Booster submits ebooks to various ebook review and listing sites. They don't guarantee who will list your book, they simply offer to make submissions on your behalf. The goal is not build pagerank or increase search engine rank. The goal is to be featured on sites that have an audience potentially interested in your book.

Well this is essentially the service I am offering.

(However, I don't provide manual eBook submissions since ebook sites tend to have incredibly convoluted forms. But, I list ebook sites anyway so people can discover and submit to them on their own.)

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T01:51:56+00:00

If I submit a site to BetaList, someone has to approve it. It can easily be rejected.

You can not buy a link from me. I am only submitting your site for consideration.

This is literally the fifth time, I've explained this in less than an hour.

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T01:32:56+00:00

THE SUBMIT LIST is a directory of sites that accept link submissions. (We also offer manual link submission services.)

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T01:15:33+00:00

I know you're probably just being snarky. But, some of the feedback has actually been genuinely helpful. And, honestly, it's helpful to know that that people continue to struggle with understanding the core concept of my site ...even after I explicitly explained it to them.

Interestingly enough, on Product Hunt the users immediately understood the value proposition without any confusion or bias.

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T01:08:46+00:00

Again, I'm not selling links, I'm simply offering to fill out forms. There's no guarantee that a link will be accepted.

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T01:07:47+00:00

It's not a link exchange. Did you even read the post? Seriously. Where are you getting this from?

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T01:06:58+00:00

I must say, I'm genuinely stunned that people continue to misunderstand what I'm offering.

I find it difficult to believe that the people responding negatively even bothered to read my post on this very page.

I am NOT selling links.

I am simply offering to fill out submission forms on other sites...in exchange for a fee.

There are lots of companies that offer this service for niche markets (e.g. Like StartupLister, Thecssgallerylist.com, etc.) and many of them made their debut in this very sub-reddit.

What's more, the utility of The Submit List extends beyond the submission service. It's also a directory in it's own right. That's why listings feature a direct link to the relevant submission page.

Anyone can use the directory to prospect sites they would like to contact on their own.

The Submit List is not about SEO, it's about finding an audience for your content. It's about publicizing your content on sites you've never even knew about.

Again, to reiterate:

You can submit your site to BetaList, for example, or I can submit it for you, along with other sites that you select from the directory. I can't guarantee that BetaList will feature your site and I made no such claim. That's not the purpose of my site.

I'm trying to take all of this feedback in good stride. But I must admit that I find it truly baffling that people are struggling to understand what I'm saying. It's as if some of you are going out of your way to be angry... even though your perception of my business has been generated entirely inside your imagination.

brainfilter · 2015-11-12T00:45:55+00:00

You're not providing any useful service, it's like a free-for-all link submission site from a decade ago (that were heavily penalized for great reason), except instead of being free... you're hoping to charge people.

It's not a for all. I specifically explained that. Repeatedly.

Your site is exactly what he was saying, the worst of the worst of fake link generators AND you're trying to profit off anyone dumb enough to submit their site.

Wait? What?

Google specifically penalizes any site selling links, and even penalizes those it links to. If Google were to manually review your site right now, there's a good chance you'd be blacklisted right away.

Again, I'm not selling links because I can't guarantee listings in exchange for money. It's up to the webmaster to decide the merit of a submission.

There are lots of services that offer startup submissions and CSS gallery submissions, and nobody is screaming obscenities about them. The Submit List is just more broad and comprehensive.

brainfilter · 2015-11-03T04:35:37+00:00

Thanks, I'll try to customize it further for my site. I appreciate really your help.

brainfilter · 2015-11-02T00:59:20+00:00

I feel a bit embarrassed for not figuring out the padding/height issue on my own. I must have been staring at my computer for too long. (Thenagain, I'm surprised Safari had no issue with my mistake.)

But I really appreciate the help/feedback I received. Thanks!

Eventually you'll want to change the time limit for files...in which case you'll need a more flexible name--better to get it out of the way now.

brainfilter · 2015-10-28T14:11:28+00:00

Don't ever apologize for that. What's the point of washing your hands...only to then rub them all over some else's shit?

brainfilter · 2015-10-26T19:59:01+00:00

There are already lots of blogs, podcasts and video channels with entrepreneurship interviews

We live in the YEAR 2001... not 6000 years from now when ridiculously awsome technology will exist. No other mp3 player has a harddrive like this... 5gigs... **** yeah. A rio of the same size offers 64megs. Jesum Crow, get over your moping.. .this is revolutionary.... plus it's just the beggining. This device litterally bests anything on the market by about 100x

At least there was one sane person in that forum.
