I was talking to a co-worker and I send him a link of a program that will basically convert any video type into another video type. I use it mostly to convert flv (youtube) movies to something a little more WINAMP/WMP friendly. I'm not just talking about pr0n, but TV, race, movie clips you dig from youtube, google video and the like. He couldn't understand why I would want to keep anything locally.
Am I the only one?
edit: We're talking about at home computers, not work.
Him: cool, what do you need that for
Me: i use it to save youtube videos and convert from flv to something that doens't suck
Him: and then do what
Me: umm... keep them?
Him: oh, haha...
Him: it seems weird to have anything on your harddrive
Me: guess it depends on what you view on youtube
Me: TV clips, porn, you know... the good stuff
Me: i wouldn't like save any of your clips, that's just weird
Him: still weird
Me: why?
Him: because it's already out there on the internet
Me: might not always be there... or you don't want to have to load it to view
Him: so you basically save porn
Him: creepy
Him: haha
Me: you don't?
Him: no
Me: wow... i think you're probably the first guy i've known that doesn't
Him: it's out there on the internet
Him: new shit all the time
Him: no need to save stuff
Him: evidence, etc.
Me: well maybe you want some of the old shit
Me: evidence? i'm not 13 on my parents computer
Him: so back to why you would want to convert it?
Me: to keep it!
Me: i think we just have to end this right here
Him: haha
Him: ok, thank god

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
