That's exactly what I was wondering. I would have invoked *blocked if you were somewhere outside the US.

The video has been blank for me at two different locations, so I'm not sure the reason. It's a weird situation because it's definitely *dead for some places... Oh well, I guess I'll invoke *blocked, but I won't *dupeof my post until the original has a working embed.

New Orleans.... it can't be blocked in SoCal and not here, can it?

That guy kind of looks like Zappa.

Works for me as well.

It works for me. It's 4:26 in duration, with Jim talking about the inspiration for the song before playing it. Yours is a subset of raven's, from the same broadcast.

I'm confused on a couple counts:

1) You flagged it *notdead, but the embed is not loading at all; it's just a blank space.
2) You stated that Jim talks about the inspiration of the song, but that information is not present in my video, which makes mine sound like it's not a dupe.

For the moment I'm going to re-*dead raven's post and invalidate your *notdead invocation to prevent an overzealous Sifter from invoking *isdupe.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
I think yours is a dupe. I think the first fix might have been incorrect, because Jim does talk about the inspiration for the song, as raven described.

This video was nominated as a dupe of this video by jonny. If it is seconded with *isdupe, the video will be killed and its votes transferred to the original.

here's an even earlier one;
world on a wire - a german two part movie from 1973
i watched it recently and it's pretty damn advanced for it's time
but it should have been edited down to 90 minutes or less
two full length movies edited this loose is a bit of an effort to watch

You are so full of crazy, it isn't even amusing anymore.

I watched some of it. I didn't finish it because I don't feel like watching atheists complain for an hour is the best use of my time.
If God didn't exist, you might have a point..but He does exist and the real problem is that your mind is closed, your eyes are scaled over, and your ears plugged. You're like a guy who lives in a cave who denies the existence of the sun. You can't see it therefore it doesn't exist. Face it hpqp, you have more faith than I do.
"Directed by all-powerful selection, chance becomes a sort of providence, which, under the cover of atheism, is not named but which is secretly worshipped...To insist, even with Olympian assurance, that life appeared quite by chance and evolved in this fashion, is an unfounded supposition which I believe to be wrong and not in accordance with the facts."

@shinyblurry: 100$ says you did not watch the video. Greta lists many of the reasons why people like myself are so adamantly against superstitious beliefs and the organised religions that uphold them. If you can watch her talk and still defend religion, than you are very morally compromised.

Embedded programming is currently one of the biggest programming fields out there. Add to that any sort of low level system programming (such as the Linux kernel), and you'll see there's a reason why it sees so much use to this day. It's certainly not an easy language to use, but if you want results in those fields, you use it.

From Wiki:
"C (pronounced like the letter C) is a general-purpose computer programming language developed between 1969 and 1973..."
... and still going strong. That says it all.

That's unfortunately true. No disrespect to dmr; C was a great language for it's time, and tonnes of great things were achieved with it, but it's well past it's use by date for most tasks.
Honestly, outside of embedded programming, if you sit down and start writing new code in C these days, you need your head examined.
That said, dmr was one of computer sciences true innovators, and will be missed.
