I don't know anyone who's ever done the occulus twice, except those going for the achievments. It's a horrible instance mainly because of the free-form nature of the dragon riding. It is the WORST instance to go into with a pick-up group, as undoubtably someone will not know what to do and the final boss turns into a horrible clusterfuck. Assuming you get that far. Arguments over how many green drakes we need, who gets to tank on the red drake, who gets to do this, who gets to do that... and I play HORDE, the supposed 'mature' faction.
Doing the dungeon with a team who knows what they're doing is just boring, there is very little to actually do on the dragons other than sit there mashing two buttons and occasionally moving. It's also more fruststrating knowing how easy it is as to how badly some people seem to be at it.
But yes, the first time we did Azjol Nerub with the final boss creating evil clones of your friends was an excellent moment, as was the blender-boss in the Nexus, where you spend half of the fight being tossed around in a glass cage, or fighting a being of pure Troll Mojo, or cursing the name of Drakkuru, the last expansion had countless moments of pure glee just from questing. An excellent narative thread that introduces both friends and foes, as well as successfully creating and building up the malicious threat of the Lich King in such a way you are *truely* disapointed that you can't go beat his blue lipped face in from the start. He's a pantomime villian really, poping up at opertune moments to screw you over, threatening you, and then popping out of the room, leaving you shaking your fist in the air.
Gnomeregen wouldn't be missed honestly. That and Ulduman. They're so un-loved that the Alliance would rather walk to Scarlet Monastry, across a lake and through Horde territory, rather than do the two instances within 2 minutes of Ironforge.
A point I've always made about WoW was how static it was. They've been rebuilding Redridge for 4 years now.
WOTLK went some way to address this using 'phasing' - in that your progression through quests changed the landscape (the biggest, most obvious change being the Wrathgate quest chain) and it is, imo, the best system usesd in an MMO so far to give a sense of the progression of time. WAR doesn't progress, it resets weekly. As for CoX, I'd like to see the finalé to that game be the utter destruction of Earth as all their heroes have been plugging themselves into a VR Simulator constantly, totally neglecting the real world:P
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

As far as I'm aware... all they've done is Unreal and Gear of War (in the last decade anyway) which are pretty much derivitive and bog standard as far as games go. Pretty graphics, and decent gameplay, they ARE fun games, and by far and away as entertaining as any other shooter out there, but you're right, they don't push anything other than graphics very far. They make all their money licensing the Unreal Engine, all they do is bring out some entertaining tech demos.
Let Epic work on their engines, and other companies can license it and build their own motion-controls on top.
do quantum transistors suffer from leakage? if so, while this is an excellent piece of engineering on it's own, it's pretty useless in practice as any data would just get lost in the fudge.
Everything in the article focused on the heat loss, energy efficiency and potential throughput, but no reasons were specifically given as to why this would succeed where Electronic processors have broken down other than 'Photons are beter than Electrons'. How close can these new transistors get before they start contaminating each other's states? Would these not be more suceptable to outside interference (Stray cosmic rays, shining a torch on it?)
Okay, maybe not the shining a torch on it. But if a single molecule transistor is hit by a stray photon, it *will* affect it's state surely. If so are they going to have abour 20 transistors doing the calculations and matching them for discrepencies?
The article raises more questions than it answers. Maybe I just don't know enough about quantum computing, but I'd like the answers all the same.

Damn, that's excellent... erm, I mean... too bad... for... you know... California... and Art Students... Phones are for phoning people PDAs/Netbooks/Laptops are for doing business on the move Laptops/Gameboys are for mobile gaming
The only combination I'll accept are mobile phones that play my MP3's... since it's a small, simple extension of the already availible 'ringing' feature of phones:P Oh, and cameras... I'll accept camera phones... They're useful. And Skype access And Wifi for the Skype... and while we've got Wifi we might as well have a browser and maybe the ability to put other apps on it too...

I like how he goes through all that rigmarole just to change the default search service when all you need to do is select another search engine and make a search. Viola! Your default search has been changed!
There was an Arthur C Clarke short story entitled "Retreat from Earth" which involved a hostile Alien being discovering that a giant termite colony was being controlled by an alien machine in the core of the Earth dedicated to safeguarding humanity, and in the end, single handedly repels the invasion.
Perhaps Arthur C Clarke was almost right, except it's Ants, not Termites:)
damnit i hope so, that's some scary shit right there...
the SQL query is too scary for words, you should be able to check the login details with a single SQL Query and no looping involved... and if you insist on changing the page location after execution what's wrong with header("Location:login_error.php?rec=qq");?
