What does it mean to be visible from space? This is totally absurd. My house is visible from space, I've seen it on Google Earth. There are other corporate logos that are probably visible from earth too, when you zoom in as much as they must to see this logo. Give me a break.
Now I can have what I've always dreamed of, a flying car with a Phantom game console running Duke Nuke'em Forever on HURD with Copland running in virtualization on a BitBoys Oy Glaze3D graphics system whose driver was programmed in Perl 6 running on top of Parrot!
Agreed. If this is what nanotechnology has come to mean, then we need to abandon the word entirely, and move on to a new one. When I think of nanotechnology I think of molecular manufacturing, and Fullerene nanogears, you know, the sort of nanotechnology that actually moves around and does stuff.
I remember that site. It was called adcritic.com. I was also annoyed when it shut down. The message here seems to indicate that they just ran out of money for bandwidth and weren't killed by the powers that be (not that this was necessarily implied). It's too bad the Wayback Machine doesn't save the videos too.
A budget surplus is not the same as national debt, smart guy. http://www.cbo.gov/showdoc.cfm?index=1821&sequence =0 this shows the annual budget. In 2004 we had a 412 billion dollar deficit. Needless to say, an $8 trillion budget deficit would pretty much do us in, since our GDP in 2004 was on the order of $11 trillion.

If only your login were "sarcasm" or perhaps "irony," the circle would be complete.
I tried to watch the first link. It was utter crap. There's a reason why this type of ADD-induced filmmaking isn't mainstream. They couldn't stick to one thing for even a handful of minutes. Making your video seem sexy by quickly moving from location to location seems like a good idea at the lower echelons of filmmaking, but I would much rather see someone online create a professional-looking piece.
I'm a student at UC Berkeley. I know what a linked-list is. Our classes deal heavily in the theoretical, rather than churning out C/C++/Java programmers, as you've stated. Many campuses have extremely high standards for their CS programs.
If I were given the choice between two people, one who had a Master's in CS, and one who "first got an algorithms book at 10, and really learned CS great on his own," the CS graduate is the clear choice. Hint: Despite your claims, you can't get a Master's degree in CS without knowing what a linked-list is.
You paint with a pretty broad brush. Perhaps it's your insecurity at having never earned a degree that causes you to attack the methods of teaching used in higher education. Just because people didn't learn CS "the hard way," (your way) that doesn't mean they aren't learning it, and learning it well.
To do something for your own profit, where it doesn't forcibly trample other's rights is advantageous to all humanity. If every person does the best possible to create new and better things, the quality of all our lives is improved. When you donate money to any cause, it's usefullness is dropped to the level of simply "food." However, when you invest money wisely into a business that is producing worthwhile goods, it is turned into a tangible advantage for America and its people.
You who have money, use it wisely, increase its value not as a bill, but as part of the American economy.

I do not produce it for their benefit at the expese of mine, and they do not buy it for my benefit at the expense of theirs; I do not sacrifice my interests to them nor do they sacrifice theirs to me; we deal as equals by mutual consent to mutual advantage-and I am proud of every penny that I have earned in this manner. I am rich and proud of every penny I own." Hank Rearden, from Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
Alzheimers is a disease caused by Prions, according to my Bio teacher, who studied it for Amgen. Therefore, how could gene therapy have an effect on the condition?

Right, and you know what's just like the telegraph? The video blog. It's exactly the same in power and import!
