Computer Controlled Fountain

Sweet!

A secondary post-post search of the UQ archives finds it there from last year. Virtual fistbump to whomever submitted it then.

How is something "programmed immaculately"? What does that even mean?

Good point, Five.

:)

Seen it in person.

Yes, it is also awesome in person.

That is all.

@Five: Your questions doesn't make any sense. Something can be "coded immaculately". To be that way simply means that it was coded neatly and with perfection.

I don't see how there is any adverb fail here.

That said, very amazing.

My syntax error lies with the adverb trailing the verb, methinks. It would have been better to say "immaculately programmed" or even better, "meticulously/precisely programmed." English is a hard language, even to writers of English.

I thought of "immaculate" as without flaw, error-less. But it should have preceded the verb, and I have no excuse for it being otherwise, except I was strapped for time.

Didn't Taylor Swift use something like this at an awards show over a year ago?

Look, a seagull!

Hmm, I guess they forgot to include water paintings of Japanese people eating dolphin and whale meat.

@Johnny Cat: If you are right about his intent, that makes him a jerk for pointing it out in such a crass manner. If you're wrong about it, then he is an even bigger jerk. It is bad for him in either case. The word "immaculately" was not incorrectly used either. =) (smilies are terrible grammar! ;oP)

@Spy: What does one have to do with the other? I decry the activities of the Japanese whaling industry as well. That fact has nothing to do with how cool this fountain is. Why would you even make that comment?

I saw the same technique, last week, used in a theme park (parc Asterix), in France. It was used as an ad for Monster (the drink).

They had one of these at the Detroit car show.

super neato! I think it the water would stand out more if there was a solid color backdrop (at least for the filming of this video) - or perhaps a thin gap of multi-colored lighting aligned with the water?
