Noscript, Youtube, and Flashblock

A short post to document a fix that might help others. After I installed Noscript, I was able to watch Youtube videos for a while but, at some point, it quit working. I spent some little time trying to figure out why it wouldn't let me watch them anymore. Eventually I realized that Youtube must have quit working at the same time I disabled Flashblock. I had thought that since Noscript blocks Flash, I didn't need Flashblock anymore. I'm not sure exactly why, but when I turned Flashblock back on, Youtube works again. Go figure.
