In July 2006, Google announced a method to link to specific points within a video. In August, they added the ability to embed with a specific start point.
In 2008, they redesigned the site and broke this functionality, and Google doesn’t care.
Hope you don’t rely on any features Google adds, because they’ll remove it unannounced at any time.
FUCK YOU, forum that requires someone to login/register to see replies. If it was some sort of pay-gateway, it’d be more acceptable, but when it’s free and you’re trying to get one-off users to register just to inflate your numbers, you are a cunt.
The real problem is that sites like this (and experts exchange) get indexed in google, wherein google is allowed to see the full page but regular users aren’t. Stop this, punish them by not indexing them until they remove that restriction. How great would that be? “For your individual forum posts to be indexed, you have to remove the restriction on viewing replies.”
That’s a rule I can live with.
Just in case Kompressor might be upset that someone “stole” his song without his permission. Even though he obviously gave permission by approval in this post. So now, I’m greeted by the lovely This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.. Awesome job, YouTube. Protecting the rights of others, just in case they notice.
I bought an 40 gb HP Branded 4g iPod for $100 on woot, already owning a $160 20gb 4g iPod I bought two years ago (today’s value: $249.05 if I had bought $160 of gold and sold it today). Put rockbox on it and was told that with 90% battery I had roughly 3 hr 50 minutes left. That’s really bad battery life, even for a 4g, according to the RockBox iPod Runtime wiki page.
90 day Woot Warranty. Starting a few days ago. 
I do like, however, that it will reboot into the official apple firmware when connected to a computer, I am guessing if it sees iTunes. That’s nice, cos then I can sync, and it can update the DB again, and we’re all good. The only downside is sometimes it’s difficult to get out of a game or the ’search’ feature, mainly because I don’t know what I’m doing.
jX says Oil will be down to $60-$70 a barrel in 5 years. I say it won’t. The bet is 10 gallons of gas. Gas is cheap: I pay for his gas. Gas is expensive, he pays for my gas. The date is May 1, 2013.
I’m hopeful. I think we should keep categories up so that we can just link to each other’s oilbet category. And I have no holdings in oil futures, and some un-claimed certificates for I believe 20 or 40 XOM.
I’m glad I was in the first 3,500 mupromo downloaders, so I got WhatSize as part of the bundle. Much more useful than OmniDiskSweeper, and the refreshes seem quicker. And, it’s actually… cheaper! By $2. That’s almost a whole Euro!
Apparently spotlight metadata is good, but Filesystem 2.0 comes closer to reality with Punakea.
