    Like a volcano?

  3. Too Bad It Doesn't Work Prefectly on Disney Launches Fireworks With Compressed Air · · Score: 2, Interesting
    While the compressed air system is good for launching fireworks that are just ment to explode in the air, it is not good for the ones with the little "tails" that are pretty cool.

    1/4 Way down the page
    "Unfortunately however, while the new launch system was effective with the standard fireworks shells that shoot straight up, it left a great deal to be desired from an artistic standpoint with some of the more unique effects. When Believe returned for the Easter Vacation period after its long winter's absence, several of the key effects that defined the Believe show simply weren't able to be accomplished with the new launch system. Most noticeably, the shooting star effect used several times during the show almost ceased to exist. Instead of the graceful arc of a shooting star sailing over the Castle that the Believe designers created, the air launch tubes could only manage an effect that was more like an errant fireworks shell fizzling towards Tomorrowland. The show's original producer Steve Davison, and the artistic professionals of the Disneyland Entertainment Department, were not at all amused at what the new environmentally friendly launch system had done with their show."
  4. Viva Planetside! on Sony's MMORPG "Sovereign" Dead · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Though not a RTS, Planetside offers commanders the same type of control over their troops.

  7. For Around... on Pixar Eclipses Sun with Linux/Intel · · Score: 3, Informative

    For around $25,000 you too can make Pixar quality movies (+ the cost of those servers). https://renderman.pixar.com/

  9. Re:Disney is the best on Disney to Create Walking Animatronic Dinosaur · · Score: 1

    Ummm....

    EPCOT is Disney. And as a theme park and rollercoaster enthusist (card carrying) I have never heard of the Golden Apple or the Efteling.

    Maybe you mean this: http://www.amusementtoday.com/GoldenTicket/the_lis t.html

  10. Re:Disney is the best on Disney to Create Walking Animatronic Dinosaur · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't lose Mickey. The would just lose the rights to the very first Mickey cartoons (Steamboat Willy). So that anyone could use the cartoons. Other companies still couldn't use Mickey like he is today.

  11. Re:Everquest and Dark Ages of Camelot on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 1, Informative

    No Collision Detection was put in so that players wouldn't get stuck. It was one of the features that most (if not all) reviews commented on highly.

  12. Al Jean on Simpsons on the Silver Screen · · Score: 0

    Al Jean went to my high school. In fact, his father owns a hardware store across the street from it.

  13. Re:And she loses her license on How Would You Start a Radio Station? · · Score: 1

    Except that the ABA would have taken away the legal license of the lawyer not long after a complaint was filed. They don't have to hold a trial.

  14. Re:Disney not neccessary denying it on Disney Making Fake Crop Circles? · · Score: 1

    even inform the public (subtly) which ones were their creations.

    That would be the (c).

  15. Re:Crop circle originators -- Bower and Chorley on Disney Making Fake Crop Circles? · · Score: 1

    Next those two will claim they built the bizarre desert mounds that are only visible from aircraft! Those really streight lines that people say no one could make unless they were in the air? Heard of string?
