So what's the procedure for uploading now? I remember it used to be something along the lines of...
1.) Upload your video.
2.) Wait 30 minutes for a person to record your video to VHS, piss on it, drop kick it, reassemble it and reupload it.
3.)...
4.) Profit?
But seriously, I can't stand the unsightly quality of YouTube videos. Most of my friends just kinda tilt their heads, but whenever I need to watch a fan-made (good quality) music video, Stage6 or direct download of the original AVI are the only options.
1.3 Million dollars for how many hotel rooms? And what would you prefer: 1.3 million dollars as reward money for advancing science, or 1.3 million dollars in the pockets of these individuals if they successfully launch a rocket or not?

"Gehry is my favorite sculptor" is a phrase I love to use with my teachers. Its not that eccentric designs aren't fun and should be abolished. Its that when you use a design like this that, if this building is like the Disney concert hall at all, doesn't actually USE any of the unique curves and forms as anything more than a facade, its pointless. The buildings of Gehry I've seen are basically boxes with really really neat facades. Ugly and sometimes blinding facades; but not "accomplished" facades.
I'm seeing a lot of posts like "hire civil engineers to make your building" or "I want a building that works, not some pretty thing". Please note first of all that you'd probably want a structural engineer. And probably wind up with a box similiar to a hospital (90% of which is designed by structural engineers). You'd probably also wind up with a box with problems like doors opening over toilets and drawers in bathrooms, shelves for various applications in labs and kitchens being spaced in a way as to not be as convenient as you'd first like them, a more expensive house as HVAC is either not minimized or not as efficiently used or as the lighting uses no outside sources...I'm not saying structural engineers break any laws; they just usually design quickly and to the code, ignoring the needs of the inhabitants which takes a trained eye and education as a designer to properly see these minute details.
Yes, architects design. Sometimes their designs fail. But they know when they take up the pencil (or, most likely, CAD) that they are most likely to get sued or, worst of all for a designer, people will die AND they'll get sued, if they don't do their job properly.
Finally, I agree that sculpture buildings, while pretty, are best left to case studies and studio designs in Grad schools. There's a reason minimalism, modernism and post-modernism is so popular with modern architects. But this doesn't mean that your building would be "better" if it was just designed by a structural engineer. And this doesn't mean all architect's design like Gehry, who is considered a bit of a joke in the architecture world to be honest (at least among my professors).
Considering past inventions like forks were made to stop constant dinner-time stabbings and assassinations with guests own knives...
And rapiers were common fashion accessories...
And dueling was a common method of solving arguments...
And being in a TRUE imperialist state meant at any time your farm could be pillaged by a warring nation?
And yeah, I know; countries still take over each other. But its slowed down since the turn of the century. Iraq is like what...1 country in 5+ years? Lord...that's slow...very...very slow...and its still not well integrated....but yes, I'd say its safer now then in the past with some noteable exceptions. At least if you "follow the rules and play nice". Revolutionaries have it tougher this and the next few generations...
Don't worry. This is slashdot. Someone who read the article and then 3 wiki pages slightly more carefully than you will come by and pretend to be an expert on the subject.
Besides 911, there are other reasons I'd be pissed off if I got jammed.
1.) Waiting in 1800- queues, like for help services, for countless hours at a time.
2.) Being a doctor and being called in for an emergency only to have your signal jammed.
3.) Having a loved one in a crisis situation (suicide attempt, armed robbery, small grease fire in the kitchen, car crash) and being able to talk them through it loudly and clearly.
Many times (restaraunts for example) you cannot leave; doing so may cause owners to assume your running out on a bill, etc...
No see, we don't need cellphone jammers or laws on where to talk. We need laws on knowing how to increase the volume on your phone while your in the middle of a call so you don't have to YELL TO BE HEARD. You should be able to talk at regular talking volume while your on a phone.
Really all this concludes is that there are multiples of these dinosaurs in the same place at the same time; not that they hunted in packs. For all we know, they might have been fighting each other, mating or coming together to die of old age or starvation. Maybe there was a shortage of food and a particularly large dinosaur wandered into the same area as they were...so they all charged the big guy down. But without using any known "pack tactics" to do so (i.e. just using their normal solitary hunting tactics).
Sorry but until the exception becomes the standard in fossil evidence, I refuse to believe it.
Stop being a puppet to the whims of the decisions of the few. Vote for who you want. Not who the party wants. The greatest thing that can happen to this country (ok, maybe not the greatest, but great never-the-less) would be a third party president and some congress seats for a third party. Not to create a three-party system. But to ensure (at least for a few years) the main parties know that its not just about taking votes from the other people--its about doing a good job so we'll vote for you!
Vote for who you want, and spread the word. Explain why your choice, especially at the state, congressional and civil levels, is better than whichever Republicrat is trying to get in.
As the Glasgow "terrorists" so brilliantly displayed, anybody can be a terrorist. All it takes is a car, a bunch of primitive explosive, flammable material and the motivation to endanger human life.
All it takes for some people is a car. Honestly, there's not even any intention.

You know the last meal of the terrorists prior to 9/11 was Pizza Hut, right?
Mmm...cheesy, greasy and cheap middle eastern cuisine...
Maybe that's why...no...too easy.
