Here is an interesting video showing how the Soviet union used a small nuclear detonation to seal off an out of control gas well.

It was part of the Soviet Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy programme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Explosions_for_the_National_Economy), which used over a hundred nukes to experiment with peacetime use of nuclear explosions, and even a few direct applications that were not only experiments.
Well, there are also many videos showing Iraqi's getting mowed down by various US weapons. Bombs, cannons, and so on. What do people who want to remove "terrorist" videos want to do with these?
What's stopping people from watching this on the TV? Wouldn't that be more convenient and higher quality than some web stream? Myself I hope Sweden wins as I am a Swede, but Finlands team has seemed awfully good this year, so it will be a tough match.
I guess there are some people without access to TV but having access to a computer. But those are likely at work and shouldn't be watching the game anyway;)
The problem is that the new UI will be using Direct 3D, and will therefore claim the graphics hardware, and make OpenGL unable to run. Instead they add their wrapper to OpenGL, which is said to implement OpenGL 1.4.
Also, since they map the OpenGL calls onto Direct 3D , there is no room to get access to the OpenGL extensions, as there can be no mappings for them. This effectively puts their OpenGL implementation at a pure 1.4 level, which is roughly equivalent to DirectX 8.something.

Call it NOME, then it will be spelled wrong, but pronounced right, instead of spelled right and pronounced wrong.
Ehm. Lutfisk has almost no taste as far as I know, so I fail to see why it's so disgusting. SurstrÃmming is vile, but lutfisk is harmless.
Unfortunately for slashdotters, 2*0 = 0.

And here is a picture of one.

Perhaps we will now see a Cizzz-coeee IOS source code detector van in the near future.
