Hi! Thanks for sharing those videos:) hopefully they get to the front page..some strategies to get more votes: clearly describe the content of the video in title/tags/channels, comment on videos and sifttalk posts, post during peak hours on the sift (click on the sifttalk tab and below on the right the amount of sifters online are indicated), recommend (via profile messages) the video to other members of whom you know almost sure they'll like the video, submit multiple videos according to a specific theme, use the promote invocation etc.
Good luck!

Thanks... I'll do that. there's a few bands i've been wanting to add to videosift for a while. If I do post them in videosift... how the hell can I get them to the frontpage?
Hi EMPIRE,
thanks for the additional info on the Hyubris clip. If you have some interesting Portuguese musicians you know of, please bring them to the sift:) I previously posted Noidz

Do you know the name of the movie?

I remember watching this documentary. It's amazing.
These 2 brothers were trying to make a documentary about NY fire fighters and each of them had a camera and were hanging with the firefighters for some time now, recording everything, and they happened to be with them on Sept. 11. I recommend watching it...

And what's the maximum SAT score? 1000?
When the video was made, the maximum score was 1600 (800 verbal + 800 math). Now there's a writing section so the max is 2400. Under the old system 1000 was supposed to be the average score.
Is the SAT all that counts, or does the highschool average count as well?
Application procedures vary from university to university. High school averages (known as GPA) are an important factor for all universities (even those who typically will admit almost anyone). Most universities weigh heavily on the SAT as well (though not as much as the GPA), but some have chosen to forgo it (there's some debate over this).
More selective institutions also require essays, letters of recommendation, interviews, etc. Apparently Harvard has an acceptance rate of less than 10 percent these days. But we're talking about one of the most competitive in the country.
Are the most famous universities like Yale, MIT, Harvard, private or public universities?
All the above institutions are private. There are plenty of well reputed public universities as well. For example check out the UC system (California).
In reply to your comment:
IMO, all armies, independently of the nation, are full of idiots. I have no respect for people who decide to make a living as killing machines, or training others to be. I know this world (unfortunately) needs armies to protect nations, against other armies (isn't that something?), but still they get no respect from me.
Police officers are trained to uphold the law, and use deadly force as the last possible resource. THAT gets my respect. Soldiers are nothing more than glorified assassins, and they are the most obvious example of just how fucked up this world is, and how primal and animalistic humans can be. It's below me.
Have you seen Saving Private Ryan? The first five minutes are here on the sift. It's... so fucked up. can you fucking imagine? The door opens and half your boat dies instantly?? Like- what choice do you have? You can't stay where you are. You can't swim back to england.
Awful.
The scariest thing is that Omaha beach was a Cakewalk compared to what the Canadians experienced a few months earlier at Dieppe. Imagine that scene without them taking the beach. Just.. utter disaster. For no reason.
And yet... what else could we have done?
Hey -
