1 to 7? Why seven?

Can't we just rate it on a scale of 1 to infinity?

That is not your decision. This contest shall be rated be appointed judges not a public poll.

Nice work. Some kind of sound would be nice though. Either it be you explaining what you're doing or some quiet music.

 

[GoSu.SpeeD]

this sounds like a good idea, but does it HAVE to be uploaded to youtube? i have some of my own hosting and i would prefer to upload it there, due to youtube quality issues.

 

[DesKaladA]

where is the hosting
because i think veoh is also fine

 

[Wolverabid]

this sounds like a good idea, but does it HAVE to be uploaded to youtube? i have some of my own hosting and i would prefer to upload it there, due to youtube quality issues.

It was decided that all submissions MUST be uploaded to YouTube (for among other reasons) to ensure quality (that the file is stable and virus free) and that the file is easily viewable by everyone in all web browsers.

damn, if only youtube accepted swf format videos. My file size is over 100mb, and it's about 4:53 in duration, usually i just produce as an swf and it's at least 1 fifth of the size, and host it on my website, i'll see if i can try to get the filesize lower.

This is my entry for the computer tech mini-contest at

www.hiveworkshop.com

=====================

In this tutorial i show you how to remove potentially annoying functions from programs your "friends" might send you.

-GoSu.SpeeD

The reason i chose this topic is because lately, my friends have told me that sometimes they receive files from so-called friends which do annoying things such as turning off their monitor etc. so i made this tutorial to kill 2 birds with 1 stone
