Is this a good deal for a frame & print? I would like to have
this photo framed and printed. Flickr's partnered up with
ImageKind and they seem to offer pretty good deals...

What fundamental differences keep the US from nationalizing and/or heavily regulating the oil industry as a whole, much like electricity has been regulated?

What caused the light to do the weird radial effect in
my picture? I'm guessing it's the UV HAZE filter I leave over my lens?
Does the effect have a name? Like some weird form of "blooming"?
Shot with a Canon Rebel XTi with a 28-135mm USM IS, 6 second exposure.

A world-class comedian, Victor Borge could please a crowd with his
Phonetic Punctuation or
Inflationary Language bits. But he was also a brilliant pianist, as showcased when he
improvised an impressive encore to a piece he had only heard and never played before, much to his apparent delight. Still better was when he'd merge the two passions, like in
Page-Turner or
The Minute Waltz. He entertained for more than 75 years, performing up to 60 shows even at 90 years old. He died peacefully in 2000, just two days after performing a concert in Denmark, on the blue
here, before dots were all the rage.

"The trick to education is to teach people in such a way that they don't realize they're learning until it's too late."Fluorescein-dyed water appears suspended in midair, only to "flow" upwards moments later. The careful dance of a splashing drop is frozen and taken for granted, painstakingly analyzed in a brilliant defiance of how water should behave. Such is the wonder of what modder Nate True calls his
Time Fountain (YouTube embedded & worth it)—a well-documented, DIY version of classic science center favorite, the
Water Piddler. MIT's own
Strobe Alley is lined with photos created using the same technology, pioneered by
Harold Eugene Edgerton, a professor whose work you're almost
certainly familiar with. Naturally, some beautiful pieces have followed under the same ideal, courtesy
Martin Waugh.

QuickPony: Any chance we can please see the My Profile link bumped up to the top navigation bar, next to My Comments and Favorites? I love the quick-and-dirty account overview, but I don't love the scroll-to-bottom, or click through to main page, click user name action. (Or too much clutter? Discuss.)

Any chance we can get a +fave link on the front page for each item, especially on the green? (I'm thinking Digg-style, AJAX based would be very pretty, though potentially too Web 2.0 for the likes of some Mefites...)

It looks like they're being sorted by comment date DESC, except that the three latest comments are not quite right.
