The thing is when Governments screw up they can be voted out - when Banks and Corporations screw up they suffer few consequences (especially if we bail them out because they're 'too big to fail')
Also who do you think influences the governments bad policy decisions with all of their money?
Very nice - the only improvement would be if it could turn into a robot bird 
Customisers on a site I'm a member of use it to make and sell weapons and parts for action figures - it seems pretty good although there's occasionally a wait for production caused by high demand.

Interesting stats from 2009: The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S.
This could also mean that the UK just has the best crime detection rates Also the figures were compiled by the party out of power at the time and reported in the Daily mail - I don't put too much faith in them.

Actually from the reports the Muslim and Turkish communities were the only ones who banded together to protect businesses in their neighbourhoods - succeeding where the police weren't.

You reckon this is a joke? This is pretty serious post-digital technology!
Anyway with the amount of wacky 'save the environment' stuff also seeing the light of day, everyday of the year, how do you know that isn't a joke too?
Well, the fact that my bullshit detector has just melted gives me a clue....
Paul isn't as good as Hot Fuzz or Sean of the dead but it's still quite watchable and funny in places, best if your a geek so you can spot the homages - a bit much needless swearing though.
I've been playing it a while - It's a sort of virtual lego where zombies come out and try and kill you at night, it's worth the price even though it's still in Beta - but it does need more ideas added to make it a long term thing. Some clever stuff has been made in game with the wiring/switches material (Redstone) and musical blocks..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG9SPywEGm4
Nice idea but you'd be constantly wiping fingerprints off of every surface - and just how much power would all that eat up?

Don't be crazy - it's on the internet - it must be true!
I think this is it with 12 - just make sure you only have 1 block in each row/column
I thing that a 'Native Sketchup' Gallery, A 'Renders' Gallery and a 'WIP' Gallery would probably work.
WIP threads are a good way for people to get more feedback - sometimes when posting a completed model you won't get as much.

Yes - it's interesting how the company who actually ran the oil rig - Transocean Ltd, is keeping incredibly quiet. I guess they're glad that the media finds it easiest to focus on BP.

how can the joints move when the sails are static?I can understand an oscillating sail providing a rotation but a static one?!!! eh!
Some of the creatures store energy as compressed air in bottles so they can move when there is no wind.
Whenever somebody reuploads one of my models and claims that they made it I just leave a 0 star rating and comment asking them to give credit to the real modeller - it makes no difference usually but at least it gets the point across.
