Liking Top Gear or not doesn't really matter, this was pretty unfunny.
To me he just seemed jealous that three guys that get paid to act like idiots on TV are way more successful than he'll ever be.

That was awful, just awful.

Top Gear lover...

Too expensive.
They would need to carry a lot of fuel to slow down when they reach their destinations and they would need to use way bigger rockets to get all that extra weight to leave Earth orbit.

At least while they're behind the sun they can check if there's another Earth back there!
>> ^schlub:

I don't understand why the satellites pass each other (I mean, I understand, physically but..), why didn't they set them up to orbit at the same rate in the same direction so that there is always a view of both sides of the sun (since they'd always be separated by 180 degrees)?

Nice video but why did he have to animate the rotation? The moon isn't supposed to spin at all when viewed from the Earth and the planets were spinning the wrong way!
/nerdrage

1. Use a thin screwdriver or paperclip to stop the fan from spinning.
2. Blow compressed air into the exhaust vent.
3. Use the screwdriver or paperclip to pull out any mutant dust bunnies that get stuck inside.
4. Done!

Of course, this only works if the fan is somewhat accessible from the outside.

1:38 was actually pretty accurate.

But remember kids, trying to break laminated safety glass with your head can lead to severe concussion, loss of conciousness and/or a cracked skull. Unless you're wearing a superhero suit of course, then you can just get up and continue fighting the bad guy!

The way he tells off the producer (?) at the end tells me he's probably argentinean. Well, that and that he's speaking spanish with a distinct argentinian accent.

I guess we won't be seeing him again on the show.
According to him, it's perfectly OK for me to break into his house when he isn't there and take a huge dump in the middle of his living room. There is no turd on the carpet if he isn't there to see it.

So your saying that something that can not be verified by any empirical source still exists? You're on a slippery slope of believing in gods.

No, I'm just saying that you can't say it doesn't exist either. Without any evidence there's no way to know.
Saying light and sound (sound waves even) don't exist until someone experiences it is silly. The opposite is equally silly, claiming something exists witout any evidence.

If you want to know wtf is really going on:

The big difference is that the space shuttle has to travel really really fast (more than 17000 mph) "sideways" to stay in orbit while a balloon goes almost straight up. When coming back down a balloon-doodad can just fall straight down with a little parachute because it never reaches any significant speed.
A space shuttle has to slow down a lot and they do that by diving into the atmosphere belly-first, compressing the air in front of it. This heats up the air and slows down the shuttle.

>> ^BoneRemake:

So my major thought just now was the atmosphere..
although I will go and learn for myself, right now I wonder why they did not need head shields or anything like that.
Just where oh where does the atmosphere begin exactly/end exactly, Why does a space craft from NASA need some ceramic plating while this lil doodad needed naught but shaved expanding foam.

For a professor he sure gets a lot of basic stuff wrong.
For starters he doesn't seem to know (or care) that energy and power is not the same thing. That makes it really difficult to figure out wtf he's talking about in the first half.
Then he proudly claims they discovered artificial photosynthesis only it's not photosynthesis but some kind of electrolysis (or it wouldn't need photovoltaic panels).
Sure, efficient super high density energy storage using water would be pretty awesome if it becomes widely available and cheap but it won't solve "The Energy Problem™" mostly because solar panels still suck. Even in the most sunny parts of the world covering your house with cheap-ish solar panels will probably not be enough to power everything in your house during the day without using part of the power to split water. Good luck if you live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of sunlight or if you don't own a house.
And no, water is not an energy source, energy storage maybe but not a source.

If you invent something good then talk about it, don't just make bullshit claims that you'll save the world and barely mention the actual invention/discovery like this guy does. "I'm not gonna tell you what it is." wtf?

My Swedish friend here is not asserting anything, he's merely quoting the original author's playlist.

Good fake videos aren't entirely false, putting some truth in there make people think "oh, I've heard about this before, it's probably true!". This is one of those.
Most modern ink cartridges do have a small circuit board to keep track of how much ink is left and they aren't very accurate. Some printers even refuse to print if they think they're out of ink even when there's ink left, but they don't start faking horizontal lines like they're running out of ink, they just stop printing and tell you to go buy more.
But they do not have a reset button! Why would they need that anyway?

The simplest way to make a small memory to keep track of how much you've printed is to have a small non-erasable ROM filled with zeroes. You can read the ROM and you can write ones to it, but you can't reset those ones back to zeroes. When it's full of ones you know it's "empty". A reset button means either SRAM with a battery or some kind of processor. Both options are overly complicated, expensive and unnecessary.

Fake Videos!
Video's that make a claim, but it's all FAKE! So don't get all bent out of shape.
is what the poster of this video calls the playlist within which you find this video.

To your first assertion:
Excuse me, your opinion or do you a more substantial basis?
and
To your second:
Huh?

Pro tip: Do not spread your legs when you hit the water.

Square-Enix, the japanese developer of Final Fantasy are known for great CGI-trailers, true, but they are probably not involved in this game at all. The only reason this game has a Squeenix logo is because they bought Eidos last year, the game is being developed in Canada by Eidos Montreal.

I don't like the way they are branding stuff after the takeover, it's very confusing and easy to think the japan studio is somehow involved with games they have nothing to do with.

You people (and the guy in the video) have been watching too many movies.
Gas cans/tanks don't explode unless you put explosives inside, most of the time they don't even want to burn because gas needs oxygen to burn. Even if the can is almost empty it's mostly fumes inside and what little air is there is used up pretty quickly and nothing happens, it's when they panic and they start pouring the stuff all over the place that it gets dangerous.
