For the moment, every attempt from BP to stop it has failed; in compensation, they had no problems with the installation of a camera that broadcast from deep underwater a live video feed of the oil spill.

(Sorry, the original video feed is only in Windows Media format, if you have problems I suggest to search on a live video site like Ustream, to find an alternative source)

Today I discovered that French autoroutes have added this strange notice to every toll gate: “5€ and 15€ are not accepted”.
I thought that 5€ and 15€ were only banknote. It seems I’m a inattentive european :D
