When you are at the time you want, right click on the video, and copy the link with the time. "Copy video URL at current time" That's all there is too it :-)
Or add &t=XmYs to the URL (where X is minutes and Y is seconds).
Parent I was replying to already knew that part...
The guy we really need to find and punish is the one who invented "rigid plastic clamshells". The kind that "conveniently" transforms from product packaging into a razor-sharp weapon while you are trying to open it.
Clamshell packaging was made for retail shelves. To prevent shrinkage and increase product visibility, it was designed to be transparent while simultaneously difficult to open. The explosion of Amazon and other online retailers made the advantages of clamshell packaging moot. However if you are a manufacturer, it may not be economically feasible to produce two different types of packaging for different retailers so l…

Out of curiosity, what did you think 'shrinkage' meant in that context?
Wow yeah I was really confused. English is my third language and I can often figure words that I don't know from the context except that in this case I interpreted 'shrinkage' as some kind of a tendency do produce smaller products (electronics get smaller for instance). And I thought ok it seems a large package makes the product more visible on the shelves. Then I thought "ok" actually a large package would be hard t…
I don't think that's the problem - I had no idea what shrinkage is and:
- English is my first language
- I've worked in retail (though I rarely paid attention back then)

why does clamshell pacaging prevent shop lifting? it's not like the packaging is tied to the shelf
Also when stored like this: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=BB&...
you can put a lock on it as well.
I think the most interesting part of this post was the comment about how they use multiple scales with chips to get closest to the desired value. This is really a neat hack that probably allows for much less precise chip dumpers. I'm reminded of how awesome randomized algorithms in CS can seem, but in real life it is just extra magical.

I think we can all agree that someone overshot that target by a long range. Every single time I ask myself, "now how can I open this without damaging neither the package's content nor myself in the process?"

Sharp scissors and a lot of patience. Never try to open one without them.
