I wanted to like this but the fish-eye perspective and bizarre camera control really threw me. The camera seems to not move on a steady curve and banks and rolls frequently for no apparent reason. This, combined with the fish eye angle is quite distracting.

With that said, the fractal world quality is pretty cool, although I agree that due to the abruptness of the speed changes it is very hard to get any sense of scale that may exist in the demo.

What I'd love to see is a game that captures the feel of Starflight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starflight in an MMO. We'll see.

Upvote for the whiskey line.

I think this (the video and comments) just demonstrate that having something doesn't make your life necessarily more happy. Obviously these folks are showing that being attractive doesn't make their lives good by itself. The same could be said of having money. There is a point where having more doesn't increase happiness.

As LittleRed noted, at the end of the day, it is how you do with what you've got that bring satisfaction.

That simply rocks.

skip past the ads and it is worth it.

All simply awesome, both the thinking behind it and the fairly straightforward explanation. Can't claim I understood it all, but I it was well explained enough that I caught pieces. I'd love to have access to a tool like this.

I love how his accent comes through even backwards. Very cool.

The one thing I miss most is the part season plan I had for the Pens. This kid's amazing.

Now I thought that was the sort of story that could have benefited from some actual scientific thought. It sounds great, but they didn't really answer anything. There are a lot more elements in a waste stream than just hydrogen, and I suspect most of them become gas. Not surprisingly mostly carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from what they indicated. So, to be a good environmental solution this process would also need a way to sequester the gas emissions. Maybe they are doing that, but not at all clear from the segment.

I was ready to skip this till I read rembar's great analysis. I'm sure the target was steel. In a the eastern mid-west at least 'iron' is used generically to mean any ferrous metal and I'd bet that's how the guy in the video was talking.

I thought it was excellent! Thanks for the sift.

My google ad on this page is for "G-Rated" investments based on 'Christian Principles'. Upvote for that!

True art. I am likewise impressed with the consistency of the 'signing'.

One reason that companies do this is because they want to hire someone who is already working for them and has a visa that is expiring, or they have a relationship with someone with a different visa (say a graduating Masters student). Personally I think the rules are crazy. Our education Visas say that you can come get an education, but you need to leave the country when you are done. HUH? Wouldn't we rather have all the brightest people in the world come and live in the U.S.? The solution to this particular problem is to fix the system, not blame the symptom.

Awesome. I really enjoyed that, thanks for the upload.
