And the > sites with completely unsupported schemes, though that's another story. I had a stream at PBS stutter then stop dead in its tracks 10 minutes before the end. Sometimes, somewhere else, just changing the screen size killed the video. That's a reason why I want to save important videos that I might want to watch again. The other being that they might someday disappear from the site. OTOH, I find The Warning, Inside the Meltdown and Breaking the Bank to be top of the top class documentaries and I'd like to contribute a few dollars. But I really don't believe in giving away my credit card number on the net. I only use my credit card to pay my ISP. I'm old fashion, I suppose. Do you people use your credit card on the net? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
