Both. although, I wouldn't say diminutive. I have severe OCD while i love seeing huge things go horribly wrong (for example, i work in a moving-company, and the amount of awesomeness of a fridge accidently dropping from a 6th floor window is simply stunning)

On: Opera Tells EU That Microsoft's IE Hurts the Web

Microsoft is the one company that comes up with new standards, most of them poor. However, they are also the ones who are the worst at following well established standards, as well as adapting to new commonly accepted ones. For example, when do you think IE will support SVG without any 3rd party plugins?

Well, when people say something like "hard to control" i thing this: 1% chance of it actually working as intended 99% chance of it failing horribly 100% chance of it still looking incredibly awesome :D

Something i used to think of as a kid was: How about using the propulsion you get from the water for initial thrust of the spacecraft? Sort of like the effect you get from releasing a bottle of air under water, couldn't that be utilized in a cheap way of getting that initial upwards thrust, or would it be too cumbersome to make a vessel that is light enhough for it to actually float?
