David Gilmour and David Bowie do Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb
A magnificent concert - the DVD/Blu-ray is called "David Gilmour: Remember That Night - Live from the Royal Albert Hall". And - this track is more than worth the price tag by itself.
Love how Bowie sings a harmony voice, instead of the main voice. (Bah - don't know the english word)
There are better quality videos out there, though, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySx7af3fEf4
This 2006 concert needs a *quality, a *doublepromote and to lose the 70s tag.

How a Life-Sized USS Enterprise was Almost Built in Vegas (Spacy Talk Post)
Truly would have been a World Wonder. I don't even like TOS, and have no interest in ever visiting Las Vegas, but if that were there, I just might go. What a magnificent opportunity missed.
Large Filament Eruption On The Sun: 8/31/2012--SPECTACULAR!
*brief Short, but great.
This truly is one of the most amazing CME or Filament eruptions I've ever seen. I personally think this is, literally, the BEST I've witnessed. It's mesmerizing and AMAZING to watch... Truly an amazing dance of high energy Physics with extremely powerful forces of Physics also at play, making this little dance all come together; much like the beautiful loops of plasma formed over sunspots as the plasma flows from the negative flow sunspot it's positive brother. This flow between these two areas create magnificent loops of plasma above the Sun's surface sometimes stable for awhile until there is a magnetic reconnection, which in turn creates the stunning filament that was created in the southeastern area (which now has rotated towards us and is more central southern area) of the Sun and then shooting off into space in many directions. All thanks to NASA's SDO satellite that took this amazing video (and photos; there is also a FAR bigger array of things that the little satellite got: scientific readings at several time increments, photos in every energy frequency you want basically, same with video, and other assorted stuff--it REALLY IS the little satellite that CAN do, it has shown time and time again that NASA knew what they were doing when they made it and they have lived up to their reputation of exceeding the standard of excellence that is expected of them--JUST LIKE the now infamous Curiosity rover; GO NASA).
P.S.- This is off-topic, but here it goes anyway... There is a great need for us to overhaul our education system, there have been so many examples lately that show the need for more science/engineering students from/in the United Sates. Which right now just isn't happening. The U.S. superiority complex is losing to ITSELF, mostly thanks to idiotic Bible-thumping Republicans/Tea-Party members. Just look at what NASA has done in the last 10 years with the small and ridiculous budget they have--the same people that once put men on the Moon and created a HUGE amount of new devices (like the MRI, just for a quick example; there's a huge list somewhere--NASA happens to be one of the only government agencies that uses its money, files patents, and then the U.S. creates a consumer version that makes quite a bit of money...). NASA has a PERFECT Curiosity landing, a landing that was extremely complicated and...well, awesome. A team like that would make use of EVERY PENNY, better than a bank could. Sadly our government is delusional along with the citizens who almost believe sometimes that NASA should just be zeroed out. BUT, I think NASA of course deserves 20 or 30 times the money it receives. We, in HOW we treat our own REMARKABLE, admired, and talked of world wide Space Program, make ourselves look like the idiots we are (atleast the ones that deserve that statement). If Obama wants to do something interesting he should raise NASA's budget by quite a bit, as Mitt has made it clear that he plans to just raise the military's already bloated beyond definition ("We're a hyperpower...") budget and to possibly engage in two wars, plus a second and brand-new Cold War with Putin's Russia.

Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children
>> ^KnivesOut:
I took my small family to DC a few weekends ago to visit the various Smithsonian museums, and I really fell in love with the Human Evolution exhibit at the Museum of Natural History. I would highly recommend anyone living on the east coast or travelling near there to visit, it's just extremely well presented and very accessible to everyone, both children and adults.
I was especially surprised at the end of our walk-through to see that the thing was funded by David H. Koch. It literally blew my mind, I guess just because of the nonsense that his sons have been up to for the past few election cycles. It seems to me that those two are responsible for funding so much ignorance, and yet their father funded this magnificent exhibition... I don't know, just weird.
Actually, David H. Koch is one of the two Koch brothers currently funding republican candidates. It wasn't his father who donated the exhibit, it was him. It does seem odd that a guy who has used his vast fortune to deny climate change also gives big donations to Nova and the National Museum of Natural History. I kind of doubt he's even dumb enough to sincerely be a climate change skeptic. I think he just cares more about being an ultra rich guy.

These idiots deserve everything these magnificent beasts dish out ... why would anyone think they can control a natural born predator/killer? It's sickening.
Duke University new 1 gigapixel camera. How good is the pic?
Absolutely stunning. Not surprising that we would get to something like this (or even FAR better, as we surely will). But, to actually see that photo and it's examples, just the few examples they were, was magnificent. I really, really want one.
Taken 2 - International Trailer
>> ^enoch:
im with A_C.
the word "contrived" is a perfect word to use in describing the first movie.
though i would not say i hated the first, i will say it was chock full of ..meh.
the trailers are all you really needed.
they were freaking AWESOME!
I just found it enormously enjoyable action nonsense. And Liam Neeson is so fucking cool he just pulls it all off magnificently.
Things I love about Taken - SPOILERS;
The way his "17 year old" daughter runs to convince us she's 17.
He kills half the Albanian gang presence in Paris.
He gives his daughter a mobile phone without a charger.
Shooting the wife of his ex-colleague - I was just gobsmacked by that.
Neeson's running. He can't actually run so it's just as well people come at him.
Whatsherface as a megastar popstar which seems a slightly cruel bit of casting.
The fact that he NEVER reloads in the film - he just picks up new guns.
And of course that speech on the phone. It doesn't get better than that in my opinion.

Only for those who do not know the magnificence that is EVE Online.
