Can anyone comment on the benefits and disadvantages of hosting this on multiple continents? Wouldn't the two locations would be too far apart to focus on the same thing at the same time?

I was running up the trail in Newlands Forest to the lookout point when they blew them - didn't see a thing :(

I don't even have any half-empty tins, but rather safe than sorry!

It's okay, reddit hates him since that whole SEO spam thing.

Created a reddit account just to post a link to a commercial site... isn't that the definition of spam? Can we see some proof that you're actually a redditor and not just a savvy marketer?

It's a logarithmic progress bar, designed to confound Wadsworth.

But this effectively becomes Google's position, having agreed to enforce those conditions. The door is now open for the same restrictions to apply to music, books, youtube clips, maybe even apps. From the end user's point of view, it hardly matters whether Google was forced into it or acceded willingly.

I am inspired by your commitment to crap!

I was referring to exelmans who's had all of his/her comments downvoted heavily despite adding to the discussion.

Reddit, please don't downvote skeptics because you want this story to be true. Look at the facts: All we have to go on is the hearsay of the dead man's son, who has a clear financial incentive to spread this story, since he will make money from sales of his father's books and tourism to his reserve.

While I accept that elephants are capable of feeling grief and mourning, it seems highly unlikely that they somehow "sensed" that a human died from many kilometres away, and that they only decided to express their grief 3 days later.

First off, obviously smaller sizes will always look more detailed, because you're cramming the same amount of information into a smaller area.

With regards to your specific problem, there are a number of factors that could be reducing the clarity of your photos.

Mega-zooms like the 18-200 are notorious for being soft. This can be exacerbated by having the lens wide open; try stop down to f8.
f/5.6 also gives a shallow depth of field, which is especially noticeable with macro photography. You might simply be a bit out of focus.
1/160s may not be fast enough to eliminate motion blur if there is a breeze or you have unsteady hands. Using a tripod may help.
ISO 800 will introduce noise into your images. If you have an entry level DSLR, this can be quite significant. You should generally try to use the lowest ISO possible.
All of the settings I mentioned require more light for more detail, so try to shoot during a brighter part of the day or experiment with flash.

Does it have to be SMS/MMS? Email works pretty well for group conversations and everyone has it. Or you could look at an IM app like Skype.

This ad is from Volunteer Wildfire Services in Cape Town, South Africa - we have a massive fire problem here because we have dry, windy summers and the local vegetation goes up like tinder. We've also had problems with arson and people throwing cigarette butts out of car windows, hence the ad campaign. In the middle of summer, it's pretty common to see helicopters carrying giant buckets of water to dump on fires.

I believe I've tracked down the problem. Apparently GreaseMonkey 0.9.19 broke the setTimeout function. They've fixed it in 0.9.20 but it hasn't been released yet.

Edit: just upgraded to 0.9.20.beta1 and that fixed it.

I've been having the same problem OP described, I think since the 4.1.1 update. Using Firefox 12.0, Win7 64bit, Logitech G700 (gaming mouse). Happens with the subreddit info as well as user info popups.
