And even for Renegade's beloved "YouTube Downloader and Converter", you'll need to write a many-mouseclicks (!) macro in order to put the download on a single key, i.e. these developers are unable even to implement some little keyboard shortcuts, which would be a strict minimum for 30-bucks-a-year sw imo. Sorry, I always get harsh in the end for being overwhelmed by dissatisfaction, but I simply don't understand this blatant, ubiquitous lack of understanding of users' even most basic needs, all sorts of free and paid sw combined, with rare exceptions.-helmut85 (January 07, 2013, 07:35 AM)
I'm waiting to see the RegEx for the second instance....if it's possible.-4wd (January 06, 2013, 11:00 PM)

Science adjusts its views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.-Tim Minchin-fenixproductions (January 07, 2013, 03:02 AM)
One of the underlying principles there is that makes it so funny is that we understand how a priori knowledge is a kind of trump card.-Renegade (January 07, 2013, 01:15 AM)
Especially when that "knowledge" is Religious!-TaoPhoenix (January 07, 2013, 02:05 AM)
I think it's really important that we start looking outward, and if we wait until we need to, there's just not going to be enough time.-wraith808 (January 06, 2013, 10:15 PM)
I would bet you that if we have this much trouble with security in "easy peasy ol' Earth" I can't imagine the security processes needed for a MoonBase!-TaoPhoenix (January 07, 2013, 02:26 AM)

It's not possible to use a RegExp to transform month names into numeric values, and the 12h date format manipulation is also outside of RegExp's capabilities. It is possible to match those strings and use additional logic outside of RegExp to process them.-Krishean (January 06, 2013, 11:14 PM)
It's always just been easier and simpler to do something like .Replace("something", "another thing").Oh I'm perfectly aware of the benefits that NASA provides. I mean, if it wasn't for NASA we wouldn't have velcro, just as an example. But as much as it provides for jobs and such, it's normally jobs related specifically to the aerospace and chemical industries. Those BILLIONS still come out of our taxes. Surely NASA can put their heads together to better things than mounting rockets to asteroids. That's all I'm sayin'.....-Tinman57 (January 06, 2013, 08:55 PM)
If people really believed in space exploration all that much, they'd be free to fund it. Get yer NASA hot dogs! $15 each! You'd only need to sell about 217 million hot dogs at that rate, assuming around $12 of it goes to NASA. Call 'em space dogs! Or moon dogs! Of course at $15 per hot dog, that makes them pretty much unaffordable for the roughly 25% or so of the world's population that needs that $15 to last 1 or 2 weeks. I don't think they'd be all that interested.I have a much better idea, let's spend that $2.6 billion on our own economy. I'm not anti-NASA or anything, but this is somewhat extreme even for NASA, especially for that amount of money that could be better spent elsewhere....-Tinman57 (January 05, 2013, 06:23 PM)
And I'd much rather see that kind of money spent paying people to build rockets as government employees or their subcontractors rather than being given away as handouts through Social Services because there aren't enough jobs.-SeraphimLabs (January 05, 2013, 06:28 PM)
And there is a lot to be learned, and a lot comes to us also in the way of advances from the discoveries of the vast expanse that exists beyond our atmosphere.-wraith808 (January 05, 2013, 06:52 PM)
Well if they want to go prancing around the bend, then they should (be forced to) finish the full turn instead of parking at the apex. The newspaper (and/or media in general) should be forced to pay the subject of the article for using the content that they (the subject) actually created by making a spectacle of themselves. Because the news media doesn't actually create content...the subjects of their articles actually create the content by engaging is some form of interesting antics. The news media simply makes written or video taped observation about the story/content that some poor sods fate has actually created.-Stoic Joker (January 06, 2013, 12:40 PM)
Absolute zero is often thought to be the coldest temperature possible. But now researchers show they can achieve even lower temperatures for a strange realm of "negative temperatures."
Oddly, another way to look at these negative temperatures is to consider them hotter than infinity, researchers added.
This unusual advance could lead to new engines that could technically be more than 100 percent efficient, and shed light on mysteries such as dark energy, the mysterious substance that is apparently pulling our universe apart.
An object's temperature is a measure of how much its atoms move — the colder an object is, the slower the atoms are. At the physically impossible-to-reach temperature of zero kelvin, or minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius), atoms would stop moving. As such, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.
No. Just no. This is what happens when business people try to understand how the internet works. They are guaranteed to mess it up and ruin it for everyone.-SeraphimLabs (January 06, 2013, 09:35 AM)

Isn't that what was tried and had its inadequacies pointed out in the OP, (YTD/FYTD)?-4wd (January 06, 2013, 09:28 AM)
I once contacted YTD about this, telling them I would be happy to pay their 20 dollar a year fare if they introduced such a feature - it goes without saying that I didn't even got any answer, and to be frank, YTD has become from bad over worse to unacceptable lately: Many titles cannot be downloaded with the latest version, when the same download without any problems with any other downloader, and with the preceding YTD version, you can't download anything anymore from YTD, when with much older versions from other downloaders most title will download without problems. (And not speaking of those terrible goodies you install together with YTD if you don't pay a maximum of attention at any second.)
