Aug 18	comment	How do I download a YouTube video? +1. It worked for youtube.com/watch?v=zJOS0sV2a24, at least the MP4(SD) format. The FLV(LQ) format, however, did not (silently failed when played with VLC).
Aug 16	comment	Downloading this blip.tv video Thanks, it worked. How did you find that download URL?
Jul 26	comment	View MSDN pages in full screen width Thanks. No problem with the default. I think this mostly works for the intended purpose. However if JavaScript is allowed from microsoft.com NoScript (1.9.9.11) complains: "NoScript filtered a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attempt from [chrome:]. Technical details have been logged to the Console.". (The "chrome:" part is if pasting in the URL in a new tab. It is "webapps.stackexchange.com"; if opening it from you answer.). It could be the parentheses [ "(" and ")" ] that NoScript chokes on.
Jul 25	comment	What happened to YouTube download URLs? (Placeholder for Andrew's comment: "you forgot to say what the change was and the code solution.")
Jul 25	comment	What happened to YouTube download URLs? @Vortico: do you have a direct URL to that source code?
Jul 22	comment	View MSDN pages in full screen width Yes, this is close. There are 4 states when clicking on this. Fortunately it is remembered when another MSDN page is opened in another tab. I also observed that for it to work it does require JavaScript to be allowed from microsoft.com.
Jul 21	comment	Case-sensitive Google search Thanks, this is better than nothing. Although I could imagine that there could be false negatives (?)
Jul 21	comment	Is there a web-based equivalent of Microsoft OneNote? @tobeannounced: (meta comment: if you put "@" followed by the name, like I have done here, that user will get a notification. Example: @C.McAtackney )
Jul 18	comment	What is your most-used web application? @eagle: your entry was earlier than Justin Gallagher's entry (webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/2050/…), but only by 4 seconds. His entry got all the votes, though. Consider merging or deleting.
Jul 18	comment	What is your most-used web application? some annotation would be useful.
Jul 15	comment	Is there a web application to check English? Checking the whole answer revealed: explaination (should be explanation).
Jul 15	comment	Is there a web application to check English? Checking the first paragraph of your answer with polishmywriting.com revealed: "grammer"...
Jul 15	comment	Is there a web application to check English? +1. polishmywriting.com works surprisingly well. Especially the style suggestions.
Jul 15	comment	Translation memory sites? It could be this: "A translation memory, or TM, is a database that stores so-called "segments", which can be sentences or sentence-like units (headings, titles or elements in a list), that have been previously translated. A translation-memory system stores the words, phrases and paragraphs that have already been translated and aid human translators. ". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_memory.
Jul 15	comment	Why do articles with multiple sections not have a table of contents? +1. Great answer.
Jul 15	comment	How can I convert 1930s dollars to today's (cost of living adjustment)? +1. Good point about purchasing power.

Jul 14	comment	Hidden features of Google Search Short reference for the calculator: googleguide.com/help/calculator.html
Jul 13	comment	Alternative to Facebook @Evan Plaice: I agree, with those specific requirements this question should not be CW. Consider making this more clear by putting this information in earlier and in an explicit way. For example in the first sentence and/or the title.
