Beaming down HQ video might consume too much bandwidth. I imagine most of it is used to send down scientific data. But I'm sure they could do better, especially from low earth orbit.
* Horrorshow! I've never had one of my baby teeth pulled, they just came out after being loose for a while. Might have been nicer to get it over quick though, like here.
For all you Americans, that's 68 mph. Must be scary fast, especially so close to the ground. *promote Helping a probie out, don't like your title though
I really like the bit at 2:25 where you see it in real time for a few seconds and see how fast the hawk really is. He is and can fall much faster than the human, only it's slowed down so much that it's hard to see.
Nice interview. Though I still can't understand why he is so apologetic about his joke: "Say what you like about servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're going to have a f***ing good paralympic team in 2012."
[edit] This article says he isn't so apologetic though. http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/nov/05/jimmy-carr-paralympics-joke He does not repeat the joke in Margate tonight, though some in the audience are goading him to do so. He makes do with noting the fact that no one watches the Paralympics anyway, and a few throwaway jokes about people without arms. Why not do the controversial joke? "I thought I'd leave it," he says. "Otherwise it looks like you haven't taken it [the furore] seriously. I didn't write the joke and think, 'That's an unacceptable joke, that's an unacceptable thing to say, but will I get away with it?' I thought it was a totally acceptable joke and a point to make, but now it's become something else. The other reason not to tell it now is that people have heard it."
They have to pay $100-150 for that? That means the apartment owner gets something like $2500. Ridiculous, especially if you see the state of the kitchen, bathroom, and overall lack of hygiene.
Hans Teeuwen is a great absurdist and controversial stand up comedian. He was a good friend of Theo van Gogh who was murdered for making the controversial film Submission about Islam. At the unveiling of a statue to remember van Gogh he sang a song in which he mentioned these women and that's how he got on the show. Here you can see the speech he made (subtitled) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvOS9vsccJs

That makes sense. I thought it couldn't be a normal dam due to the small water difference between the two sides.
