no saying that at all, saying you're a fool to try and proclaim that PS was lying about the height of the robot based on the height of foreground object in a low-angle shot. (sure we COULD calculate the height of the mecha based on that if you knew the angle and the distances to the mecha and the people from the camera and the height of the people, but we don't)
We can both look at those pictures all day, doesn't change the fact that they're still perspective shots and that PS is likely far-more well informed about the project than you or i
Actually, the last picture you linked to lends to the mecha being 18 ft... thanks for helping my case.

umm...the shot was taken from a lowered perspective to be able to get the mecha and the people in the frame while still being close enough to discern who they are
similarly, i'm pretty sure this picture isn't definitive proof that the statue of liberty is only 15 ft tall

The Cyber Crime Hall of Fame 145
DigitalDame2 writes "Not all hackers are bad guys, but a few fall prey to the dark side and use their talents for evil — not good. In compiling this list of the craziest cyber crimes, PC Mag looked for a few things: ingenuity (had it been done before?), scope (how many computers, agencies, companies, sites, etc. did it affect?), cost (how much in monetary damages did it cause?), and historical significance (did it start a new trend?). Read on about famous hackers John Draper, Robert Morris, Kevin Poulsen, and others."
Submission + - Solar power at night technology developed (blorge.com)
thefickler writes: When you think of solar power, you think of the sun's rays providing the source for the power. Well the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory is changing that concept by providing a method of harvesting the sun's energy even after the sun has set. A team of researchers has developed a thin sheet of plastic containing billions of nano antennas that are able to collect solar energy even after the sun has gone down. The process is cheap and once collection and storage issues are perfected, it could revolutionize the solar industry.
