YouTube Sucks

Actually it's not just YouTube, it's a conspiracy between YouTube, Adobe and the enthusiastic knuckleheads who expect this stuff to work. Half the time when I try to play an embedded YouTube video on some other site besides YouTube, it will hiccup, stall, drag it's feet and generally be a real pain to watch. Go to the YouTube site to watch it and it plays FINE. Dadburn commies. You know, it wouldn't be so bad if you could just wait until the entire video finishes downloading. Then you could play it without any of those EXTREMELY IRRITATING interruptions. But NOOOOO, hitting the pause button means that the download grinds to a halt, so the only way to get the whole thing is to let it play out, which generally means leaving the room. I suspect that turning down the sound and minimizing the window, or covering it up with solitaire will only suspend it. It KNOWS if you are watching or not, and if it is not front and center on the screen the download will be suspended.
