Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Hey. New board.

We use AT&T in Pasadena and get fantastic coverage. Was that before it took over Cingular, Gris?

My issue was actually with Cingular. To be fair, when I say "Pasadena" I probably really mean "On the Caltech campus." It was college and I didn't have a car.

The status is NOT quo.

Huh. I suspect that they've added cell towers, because I have gotten great coverage all over town, including around CalTech. Maybe it's something actually on the campus, some Real Genius forcefield or something!

Is there any way to save a YouTube video to my hard drive so I can watch it offline?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Once you've got the FLV file, I think VLC will play it.

I'm fed up with at&t wireless, and I'm thinking about switching cell service providers. Verizon and Sprint are out because I need to use my personal phone overseas, so that leaves me with T-Mobile.

If you're planning on being on the Eastern Shore at all, Verizon was pretty much the only thing that worked when I was there. I got T-Mobile since that worked best at my new place in SF and I essentially couldn't use my phone until I moved. However, T-Mobile has been great to have here in France.

there's also this, which allows you to rip just audio too.

Hey. New board.

I use a program called "TubeSock" to download YouTube vids on my Mac. It will let you convert the files into a format that iTunes/iPods can read as well. Pretty cool.

Raq, if you want to that a lot (rip youtube) and have a pc, any video converter is really good software that will let you batch download and rip.

there is a free version:
