"In the early 1970s, the artist Chris Burden pioneered a kind of sculpture that explored boundaries few people would care even to approach."
The artist has had himself (in two of many examples...) nearly electrocuted and
shot; some of his later and lighter work includes
building complex model bridges and reconstructing a "Speed of Light Machine". He created a
ghost ship, uninhabited and self navigated, and
continues to surprise with his latest work....

I've been a Windows user since 3.1; I'm comfortable with it, I know enough keyboard shortcuts to do without a mouse. Basically, I'm fluent. So why, when copying a large number of files(moving my music collection to a different external hard drive) can't I figure out how to tell Windows to copy
only the new files, and skip the files already on the target drive?

I love reading sites like kottke.org and Neatorama (and, of course, Metafilter). It's exciting - I never know what I'll come across next. What are some other sites that have lots of interesting stuff, preferably on a daily basis (but less often is fine as long as the content is high quality)?

Freaky Flicks is a p2p community with a radical mascot that collects arthouse and cult cinema.
Browse the selection on The Pirate Bay or look at their list of
Red Letter Directors.
The
FF Forum is pretty good for recommendations and links to non-p2p and legal online video.

I've become bored of digg, slate and reddit. I'd like some substitutes (but not too close of substitutes that I get quickly bored again).

How can I uninstall a driver, and keep it uninstalled? I don't want Windows to keep installing it every time I plug my phone into the computer. I want it to be like the very first time I plugged it in -- when Windows had no idea what driver to install.

I am looking for a new pepper mill, but an Amazon search produces an overwhelming 800 results and very few customer reviews. So I turn to you, my Metafilter test market. I use the mill often enough that Target's selection just isn't cutting it anymore, but I don't know which models and brands offer the most bang for my buck. And, aren't Peugeots cars? It should be manual (not electric), it should have a variable grind, a heft in the hand, and a steel or red finish (though I prefer function over form). Tell me if you've got a great grinder. Thanks in advance everybody!

Chime.TV
-- it's a new
video hyper-aggregator (like
VodPod) by MeFite
chime that I've been using since it was in development. It's Wii-compatible and tested and can turn your fave sites into channels (including but not limited to
MeFi,
Boing Boing,
Digg, or
Fark). You can automatically watch any
YouTube channel as well, or just watch your
favorites. I'm personally going to suggest you try out the
Net100 channel, which is an aggregate of everbody's top 10 videos.

I have a B. Arch. degree from outside the US. I am currently working in the US "california" and would like to start working on my licensing procedure. And it seems the first step is to "convert" my degree and let it be accepted as an accredited degree. where do I start? Is there special agencies that do that? How much is it going to cost me? I will need any possible advice in this matter especially if you had to go through this same process.
