Is it just me, or is YouTube running out of letters?

I've been seeing more URLs for YouTube videos with random characters like hyphens and underscores in them lately. Never used to see those before. What happens when all combinations of 11 ASCII characters are used up? :shrug:

1. Then we move on to another alphabet

and take their characters by FORCE!

Kanji, I'm looking in your direction. Cyrillic, you're next. :evilgrin:

[ZombieNixon]

3. I would think Cyrillic would be easier to go for first.

Macedonia looks weak at the moment. :P

[DarkTirade]

6. Exactly. So they'll expect us to go after them first.

Then... sneak attack somewhere where they're not expecting it! Japan may have invented ninja sneak attacks, but their mistake was teaching us about 'em. :evilgrin:

2. Its all of my X-Rated youTubes!!

4. All combinations of 11 ASCII characters?

That's a shit load of videos!

[ZombieNixon]

5. There are a shit load of videos on that YouTube.

[LeftyMom]

10. Correction: There are a load of shit videos on YouTube.

There's good stuff too, but you have to dig through a lot of crap to find it sometimes.

11. A shit load of shit videos?

Quantity over quality, I guess...

[LeftyMom]

12. If the internet has taught us one thing, it's that good taste is a rare quality. nt

[DarkTirade]

7. Wait... metric or standard shit load?

You're from the UK, so you use metric, right?

[billyskank]

14. No, we use a weird mixture of metric and imperial units.

8. Running out of combinations

Well, if you only use 26 letters and 10 digits in 11-character strings, you get 36 ^ 11 combinations. That's 131,621,703,842,267,136 (I do exponentials in my head for relaxation) possibilities, which is more than 10 million for each person on earth. I think it'll be awhile before they run out.

[ZombieNixon]

9. Well, then we'd better get working posting stupid videos, then, hadn't we?

:P

[DarkTirade]

13. Aww, but I was looking forward to the language invasion.

:(
