Is it a power point presentation? Just add a link to the youtube video in the powerpoint, and it'll pop up in a new internet window and play the video.
This is probably the best way to do it. No one will care that you don't have the actual video in the power point presentation itself. As a bonus, you can browse through some of the comments to demonstrate just how debilitating head injuries can be.
Comment sections have always been a joke, the title of that article is laughable. That said I still prefer them be 100% open and registration free if possible.
The ridiculousness of the article is how it says:
"What I want is, I want the sources -- I want the experts to be able to comment in these discussions."
Well then SEEK OUT THEIR COMMENTS YOU MORON. And include them in the article. Don't worry about the comments section let your readers go nuts.
Yeah most people on comment sections have nothing to add but I'll take the 99.999% of crap to get that one guy who says something insightful; rather then only including an "exclusive" group.
Sometimes what is written in the comment section is much better than alot of these stories that shouldn't be in the news in the 1st place. Such stories as a newscaster who gets pregnant or what some famous person posted on some social media site.
I had to write some native code for Mac this month, so I bought the cheapest usable Mac you can buy: an 11' MacBook Air, with an i5 processor and 4GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD (on sale for $1100 at BestBuy).
I dislike Apple as a company and ecosystem, but I have to say, hardware-wise, this is the best device I've ever used. I absolutely love it. Everything feels right - size, keyboard, track pad, screen, weight, this is an amazing little machine.
I decided to retire my Dell Latitude laptop and make the Mac my primary portable computer (I still use my custom-built Windows tower 90% of the time). So I set up bootcamp, partitioned the drive for 70% Windows 7, 30% Mac OS X Lion, and I've been switching back and forth for about a month now.
It's been interesting running both Windows and Mac OS on the same exact hardware. I've used both in the past, and I don't really care for one or the other, but what surprised me the most is how much snappier Windows is overall. Everything from web browsing to moving and sizing windows feels fast in Windows 7. Even running the same exact software (Eclipse Indigo, Google Chrome) feels very different 0 snappy on Windows, sluggish on Mac OS.

Yikes for $1100 "on sale" I would hope the hardware was impressive. While you definitely pay for it, you can't argue with Apple's industrial design acumen.
I actually setup an OSX vm image about a month ago just for the hell of it. Being on my big machine, it actually runs pretty quickly. You might want to try that if you need to work on OSX for whatever reason and would prefer to be on your custom built PC.
On a side note, at the same time I did the OSX vm, I decided to setup a vm of the latest Ubuntu and that actually impressed me. I hadn't done much with Linux in a long time and to see how far it's come is amazing, particularly in usability. I'd say even computer newbies wouldn't have a problem using it for basic things like surfing web, checking email, word processing, etc.

That shouldn't really matter, it's only hard drive space and I doubt OSX is doing any kind of paging but even if it was on an SSD that should be damn near instant.

Yeah, I too have been running a VMWare hackintosh on my PC for a while. It's great for almost anything. The problem is, upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion on the VM was a real pain in the ass, lots of hackery, so I gave up (the app I'm working on requires Lion). I'm also dealing with real-time video encoding in objective-c, so I needed to run realistic tests on non-virtualized hardware. Some of the code was supposed to be Sandybridge CPU specific, so getting a real mac was a must. Unfortunately, turns out that Quicksync optimization isn't avaliable on Mac OS (shocking, really, since the necessary hardware is available on every modern mac), so hardware GPU optimization will be available on the Windows app only. At least until Mac OS 10.8 I guess.
Also, XCode is already slow on bare metal, I can't even imagine what it would like in virtualized environment.
I also have an Ubuntu VM. Since VMWare supports hardware acceleration drivers for Linux, it does run very smoothly. It's neat little setup. Like you, I was impressed by the quality of the UI, and how easy it was to install / update software..

Not particularly. 1.6 GHz i5, 4GB RAM, 128 GB SSD (they charge $300 extra for $256GB!!). It's good enough. Gets the same Windows 7 score as my 3 year old $ 3,000 Latitude on CPU, beats it by a large margin on GPU, although the Dell did feature 8 GB of RAM and a faster 256 GB SSD, but weighed at least twice as much.
I dont do brackets but Syrcuse lost a big player and I could them them knocked out in the 1st round.
Sucks the UofA is in the NIT instead.
i think theyll manage to get past unc ashville in their first game but i see them losing in one of the first two games after that. not sold on them or kansas myself
