How to save YouTube playlist videos PERMANENTLY

I really get mad when some youtube video from my playlist gets deleted or gets marked private. I was looking for some tool to export my playlists but had no luck.

So, someone might think this is a stupid piece of advice but just like me you should start adding video title as a NOTE to a video you are placing in a playlist. Next time a video gets deleted you simply check your note and go find another one that works.

Sometimes ancient technology just might help like nothing else ;)

5 to the battle! speeches

Admins too have to take a break, so here are 5 pre-battle speeches.

Battle of the Morannon


Aragorn:
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day! An hour of woe, and shattered shields, when the Age of Men comes crashing down; but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!


Battle of Germania


General Maximus Decimus Meridius:

Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops, imagine where you will be and it will be so. Hold the lines, stay with me. If you find yourself alone riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium and you're already dead!!! Brothers, what we do in life echoes in eternity!


Battle of Sterling



William Wallace:
Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Aye, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least a while... And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom?! Alba gu brath!


Battle of Pelennor Fields


King Thedeon:

Forth! Down fear of darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... and the sun rises! Ride now... Ride now... Ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death!


Battle of Thermopylae



King Leonidas: 

This is where we hold them, this is where we fight. This is where they die! Remember this day men, for it will be yours for all time! Spartans, prepare for glory!

Protecting .pdf files - Adobe Acrobat

To prevent users form copying content of your .pdf file and printing it follow these steps:

  1. Open your document with Adobe Acrobat
  2. Go to File/Properties/Security tab
  3. Choose Password security form Security method

It seems to me that this name of security method is a bit misleading. At first I was traversing this option because it looked like something I wasn't looking for. But it is as it is so just go for it.

Now choose your options as you wish: CompatibilityComponents to encrypt and Permissions.


Optionally you can add document open password. Save your document to apply your options.
