If you're wondering what they're talking about you should watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54XYqsf4JEY
For a demo, see the 38:00 mark. The windows "calc.exe" is modified to simultaneously a valid windows exe, a valid zip archive, and a valid PDF. The same file can appear benign to anti-virus tools even though there is malware contained in the file when interpreted in certain ways.

Lets not do that either.

Yes, do it, but don't do it with taxpayer money and federal subsidies.

Okay, I found this on wikipedia about land use:
A 200 MW power plant with the same 1000-metre-high tower would need a collector 7 kilometres in diameter (total area of about 38 km^2).
Since this is "only" 800m, it will need a larger collector area (how much larger is unclear).

I didn't say anything about cost. Regarding nuclear, you should look at the power output for one of those plants. They are 2000MW or greater. Although I have to agree on disaster risk.

Who said anything about more expensive? As for "similar heights", the largest radio tower was the Warsaw Radio Mast, which was 2164 ft before it collapsed. The currently tallest radio mast is the KVLY-TV mast which is 2063 ft. This would be 26% taller than KVLY, would be free-standing (unguyed), and would be solid (wind cannot blow through it). This tower is more comparable to a occupied structure.
The current highest capacity wind turbines are 7.6 MW. I haven't been able to find figures on the area proposed for the collector area of this tower, but it is possible that 30-50 simpler and proven wind turbines or 1 to 5 concentrated solar units might be able to replace this tower.
You know they wanted to build one of these in Australia, right? The proposal stalled and it looks like it will not be built.

This is a ridiculous idea. The only structure that is taller than 2600 ft is the Burj Khalifa (Burj Dubai), which is 2717 ft.

The idea that we would build the 2nd tallest structure in the world for 200 MW is ridiculous. This doesn't even come CLOSE to being a top producer of energy per power plant. The top 10 power plants in the world all produce more than 6000 MW. Even the largest biofuel, geothermal and tidal plants currently exceed 200MW.

Was I offline that week? When did this happen?

One great project that it seems few people know about is Hugin, which is great for photo stitching (panoramas), perspective correction, etc.

I'm not looking for a technical fix. Of course if you can view it, you can save it and re-upload it. I'm looking for a fix within the system as designed.
-molo
The issue is whether it is allowed in the system as the system exists, not whether it is technically possible. Of course if you can display it, you can save it and upload it elsewhere.

There are three levels: public, hidden URL (auth token in the URL), and invite-only for specific accounts. Are you sure you weren't doing the 2nd one?
-molo
It seems that the invite-only PicasaWeb albums (where only specific google accounts have access) would no longer be invite-only. That alone is reason enough to not join G+. When signing up for G+, they gave the following notice:
Linking Google+ with Picasa Web Albums
When you join Google+:
* [...]
* Your albums' visibility settings aren’t changed, but people they’re shared with can now share them with others.

If they could fix this issue, I would sign up. Otherwise, forget it.

Of course. But subverting the system requires effort, which shows it is not an intended method of distribution.
