The Pick-Up Artist... with a boner
I wonder if they ever call any of these girls.

Pit Stop Feature by Williams F1 Team - Part 4 - Drivers
Well this one is the weakest of the pit stop features, but I liked the first three and posted this on the back of liking the others more!
The teams are all so secretive that they would never make the interesting technical discussion that we want... if you take the Sauber cutaway series for example, gearboxes would be an obvious episode to cover, but for contractual reasons they can't show us the inside of their gearbox because it comes from another team! These videos are the best that I can find, but unfortunately most F1 fans will have seen them as filler pieces during the race coverage
I do feel that I have failed in tagging and channel assignment though, can you suggest what I should have put to avoid wasting your time? The more technical ones will always be in the engineering channel, and the less technical ones will be in sports/wheels.
I did post a few which were a little bit more interesting from a technical point of view:

Nothing negative about the sifter, but these are a let down every time I watch them, they tell you nothing really all to technical or really that interesting. Whomever produced this series might of thought a little longer about the content that is covered.

I believed the vimeo tags, which are:
I've taken stop motion out of the tags and description.
The pictures linked from the vimeo page are quite cool, and show some of the cells used in the overlay animation as well as some images from the film.
This is certainly NOT stop-motion. Definitely CG.

What Can Frogs See That We Can't?
Hmm... now you've made me curious too. I have found a few interesting pages, but nothing specifically about frog vision apart from mentions that it's sensitive.
I'm not quite as sure about the single photon claim. I found a Physicsworld.com article from September 2012 talking about using a single rod cell from a frog eye being used as an extremely sensitive detector which is able to detect a single photon, but according to the original Usenet Physics FAQ (I cite an updated version hosted at math.ucr.edu) human retinas can also respond to a single photon, but have a neural filter to block the signal unless 5 to 9 photons arrive within less than 100 ms.

Where's the blocked sign? (Geek Talk Post)
You are not going blind, there is no visible marker for "blocked" at this moment.
I guess it's supposed to be displayed in line with "nsfw" and "long/short", but there's no code for it, as far as I can see.

First time I've heard of her. Haunting.

Usually no one reads comments this far down, but I'd like for the pro-gun people to weigh in on these six specific policies, and see if maybe they still sound like reasonable policies to you guys. (Borrowing entirely from here)
To add a couple of my own, how about we also set a maximum legal muzzle velocity, maximum rate of fire, and maximum magazine capacity on civilian firearms.
A Short History Of The GIF
Some very old (and stripped down) notes I have, from a beginners course I used to teach on web graphics and image formats. (it does loose a little something in translation with the limited formatting we can use here).
GIF: (Graphics Interchange Format)
Limited to 256 colors and less.
Recommended - 72 dpi.
8-bit color planes
Originally designed by Compuserve. June 1987
It used a compression scheme called LZW.
Gif utilizes a compression method which uses a particular algorithm. This algorithm is copyrighted by Unisys. Any software which supports the format must obtain the rights to use the format but all users are free to use it.
Because of this issue..., a new format called PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is slowly infiltrating, and is expected to eventually replace the GIF.
How it compresses...
exactly the same as the original image.
If the code looks like this - (@ 42-bytes)
1 5 6 4 6 7 9 1 2 5 6 9 8 4 5 8 9 2 5 6 9 8 5 6 7 2 5 6 9 6 1 5 6 4 6 7 9 7 8 2 5 6
The conversion looks for repeating strings of more than 3 numbers -
1 5 6 4 6 7 9 1 2 5 6 9 8 4 5 8 9 2 5 6 9 8 5 6 7 2 5 6 9 6 1 5 6 4 6 7 9 7 8 2 5 6
It then replaces the strings with a "token". It refers to which number it repeats and for how many characters -
1 5 6 4 6 7 9 1 2 5 6 9 8 4 5 8 9 [9,5] 5 6 7 [9,4] 6 [1,7] 7 8 [9,3]
Points to note:
Summary:
When you convert images to the GIF format you first must reduce the number of colors to 256 or less, (this process looses information). The fewer the colors, the smaller the file. But when the image is compressed, no image detail is lost.

Obama On The Tax Plan
The simpler the question, the more complex the answer:
I'll try to respectfully answer your "Why hasn't Obama changed the IRS rules in the past 4 years?" without stating my personal opinion or disagreeing with you.
Obama had 2 years of Democratic controlled congress. That's true; however, one can't stop just there. One would have to look at the bills on an individual basis; It's all on the internet!
If people paid attention to voting patterns of congress, they'd find out that many Democrats and Republicans don't always vote along their party line. This is a little more prevalent in the Democratic circle, but just within the margin of error. Please don't assume that just because a new IRS bill comes out, all Democrats are going to jump on it, thus applying anything Obama says. It just doesn't work that way!
How can a Democratic-controlled congress reject bills you say? What better site to see the marbling of party-line votes other than the official Senate website itself:
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/vote_menu_111_1.htm
Pick any bill that's "rejected" and see why it happened.

Doesn't Romney pay by the rules set up by Congress and the IRS? Doesn't Obama? Don't we all?
If it isn't fair, who set it up that way? Congress makes the laws. Romney has never been a member of Congress...Obama, on the other hand, has.
Why hasn't Obama changed the IRS rules in the past 4 years?
