Actually, there are four standards by which a building is considered the worlds tallest. The Petronas Towers wins out over the Sears Tower in only one category (that which includes spires). The other three (highest floor, highest occupied floor and something else) are still held by the Sears Tower.
Speaking of which, I can see the Sears Tower from here. I've got line of site. I think I'll stick with the university's T3 line though.
Just a bit of clarification on this, I go to the Illinois Institute of Technology, Carnivore was reviewed by IITRI (IIT Research Institute) a wierd building that has more government and big business tie-ins than you could shake a stick at. IITRI is not IIT. The two are seperate entities, IITRI is just affiliated with IIT and is based on the IIT campus, on the south side of Chicago, a block away from where I now sit.
