The way he emphasizes his speech is also annoying, how it appears that he thinks every single thing he says is some kind of fundamental truth no matter how mundane a topic or point he brings up..
Well, just about everything he ever talks about is some kind of fundamental truth about the world we live in, I can sympathize with your objection to how he talks, but if you can stand it, or ignore its peculiarity, I strongly recommend his TEDtalks lecture on the Large Hadron Collider , one of the best presentations I have ever seen. Enjoy, if you can
I agree with your other points too. People wouldn't probably try too hard for those few extra clicks. That's as far as I'd want to go though. I would always like the ability to sift through another user's PQ. Maybe we could just hide the submitter's name until the video is off of the unsifted page, THEN it appears in their PQ.
In reply to this comment by Kreegath:
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
Just removing the name of the submitter on the "unsifted" tag should be enough to do away with most of the buddy-voting going on, as I'm fairly certain people won't go through the trouble of looking up their buddies profile every time they log onto Videosift. It doesn't have to be impossible to figure out who posted what video though, as people on the net are generally too lazy to ever go through with any kind of work they don't absolutely have to. Clicking around two-three pages extra would, I'm sure we both could probably agree on, fall under the "won't bother" category.
But even if we'd want it taken to the extreme, then it wouldn't be hard to hide the "unsifted videos" and/or PQ links on ones personal page to everyone but the user. I just feel like there are better things to focus on than just arbitrarily raise the vote limit, and as such file off the fringe stuff in favour of the bland mainstream, like cat fart videos and slapstick. Hope you find this reasoning decent enough and not off-putting, as it's formed with the best of intentions. Oh, and also; Kronos' idea of removing the self-vote is something I found to be a great suggestion. What did you think of it?

I was completely for this idea when I first saw it but I just realized that it would require getting rid of personal queues. Doh!

Or we could hide the submitter's name until the video has been sifted, since I'm betting there's alot of buddy-voting going on. If that's indeed the case, then it'd be much more of detriment to the quality control idea.

It's amazing how wrong he is on just about everything he says. Scandinavia doesn't have any "purer" genepool than any other place. During the viking invasions they managed to grab and return with maidens as far away as Egypt, and later on they had major waves of immigrants from Germany, France, Russia, the Baltic, Poland etc. My own family on my mother's side are [A url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walloons"]Walloons[/A] who immigrated from Belgium in the 1600's.
Species? Races? We're taught here that there is one race, the human race, and that skin colour doesn't change that any more than hair- or eye colour.
EDIT: Aaand it's very hard for some people to learn how to make links in a text, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
it's <x href ="URL">TEXT</x>
just swap the x's with a's !

Will keep looking for it. Been trying to get ahold of Rowlf and Fozzie playing and singing "I've got rythm", but should the Henson announcement come up you'll be the first to find out.
EDIT:
Here's some things from his memorial service:

Thanks. I meant clips showing it.

This might be the episode you're looking for:

I'm not sure if this is the same episode, but it might be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCDcCIrq7G4

Does anyone have the Muppet episode that announced Jim's death? I heard it exists, but I cannot find it.

And from his YT page:
This is a live (non-emulated) speedrun of Ghosts N Goblins for NES. I go through both rounds of 6 levels each without any deaths in 22 minutes 56 seconds. This video is of the current verified world record time.
Also check out my no-death Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts!
Maybe NOW you'll be impressed.
In reply to this comment by Kreegath:
Exactly who verified that this is the world record and what was the paramiters? Did he use an emulator (or whatever they're called)? If so, what makes the no dying and fast clearing parts of this loooong video special?
If the player indeed used an emulator, as I think he did due to the inhumanly timed jumps and accuracy with the lance in the six minutes I watched, then the whole point of bragging is lost, isn't it? It's almost like watching the computer play itself.
2. Gametrailers doesn't have a playlist ability. FWIW, there's only 3 more so don't worry too much about a flood
In reply to this comment by Kreegath:
How many more of these are there? Is it possible to make them into one playlist?
Could anyone clarify for the uninformed how long ahead of time people are able to cast their vote, if at all? There's been talk of early voting, but is that only for some states?
Most states with early voting stopped today at noon. If you missed out you can still call down to the courthouse (or an Obama or McCain office) to learn how early your nearest vote-sites will be open tomorrow. If you show up late for work but have an 'I Voted' sticker, well... it helps.

And congratulations on your silver star!
It's "champing at the bit" not "chomping", isn't it? Or are both equally valid, or even interchangeable?
It's "chomping" at the bit..as a horse does when it's ready to race and is being held back by the reins secured by the "bit" in its teeth.
