This thread shall be dedicated to anything that you think is awesome.

Keep posts organised and easy to read alongside material related to the awesome thing.

Anything can be "Awesome", But stay sensible : Content of an adult/inapropriate nature will be removed, Spam will also be removed.

Try to say why you think it is awesome.

Awesome thing - The Dubai Fountain - In the grounds of the Burj Khalifa

As you should know the Burj Khalifa - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa - is currently the tallest building in the world - As a side note from the ground close to the building is does have a HL2 citadel feel about it.

At the base of the tower is a large lake.
Overview of area - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Burj_Dubai_Downtown_Imresolt.jpg
This lake, Which plays host to "water shows". There are shows every 20 mins from about 6pm untill 10pm (Was the case while i was there) These shows consist of computer controlled fountains and music which seems to come from everywhere.

Why I think it is awesome - When your tired and sit down outside to have a meal and watch the sun set, The last thing you expect is to see this. I shall let the video talk for me.

The universe is awesome.

Just the fact that what we know is infinitely less that what we don't know does it for me. Considering that we know so little about how life on just our planet was created, imagine how little we know about every life form on every planet.

Did I just say that everything is awesome? :P

Linux is awesome, GNU is awesome and the whole Open Source movement is awesome.

I don't think any other industry could have something like what this movement is the same size and keep everything as close to being in control as they do.

Gnome UI Guidelines :P  seriously look up the documentation for this.  Written by people in their spare fooking time!
