Isn't there a rule on this forum about posting personal links or something?

He's either referring to:

a) the Gels
b) the flowing water texture

For more info on B, see This document

Oh wow, I'd never read that before--that's actually really innovative. It would be nice if there was an easier way to build flow maps though (I don't really have much information about Houdini).

Yeah my mind was pretty much blown there. Not as much as watching Avatar, or seeing Natal in action, but you know what I mean.

Pffft, Avatar? Whatever. I didn't even see it, but I still don't get what was so incredible about it (yes I can see a contradiction there but I don't care).

Still think the water presentation's cooler.

Ooohhkayy let's not get going on a retarded subject. I just gave an example.

Anyways the new water stuff was extremely WOW and I can't wait 'till we can get our hands on a simpler method.

EDIT: Problem solved.
The link to that pdf appears to be broken. (Or the PDF is corrupted). Mirror?

Neither broken nor corrupted for me. I'd host it for a bit if it's legal--is it, given that it's their publication and they've linked to it on their site?

Wait a minute, is this just an 8 minute video of some nasally speaking neckbeard talking about stuff we already know?

Yes, that's why we are so off-topic.

According to the pdf document, they're aiming for it to work on 6 year old hardware.
I guess I'm fortunate then :p

Sounds very promising.
