In WoW, Apolyon, the Soul-Render is Blizzard's IP, and they let you use it if your raid kills the big boss dude. Perhaps it's like being able use the coolest chess set if you're the best in the club.
If a player creates something cool in Second Life, it would be their IP.
I've been playing WoW for nearly 4 years and I still like the ingame music. Ashenvale is beautiful for example. I personally wouldn't want to play my own MP3s as I'm a musician and they'd distract me (or the game would be an unsuitable setting for the kind of music I like).
Recently a friend lent me the Burning Crusade soundtrack CD and I listened to it all properly. The music stands up very well on its own, and I heard lots of nice details on my iPod that don't come through on my crappy computer speakers or are covered by in-game sounds. Kudos to the composer(s).
If you're a fan of Mr Fry and haven't read his blog or (especially) heard his podcast you're in for a pleasant surprise if you click his name in the summary above.
My excuse for not knowing about them until last month is that his presence on Antipodean television is regrettably meagre.
As someone who mainly does BGs these days, WAR does look interesting, though I guess there's no real reason why the proportion of idiots should differ.
As the teletype came into use, a key was created that would temporarily interrupt the communications line, allowing this practice to continue. When this occurred, the receiving teletype mechanism would activate but not print characters (it was typing the non-printing DEL character repeatedly). The noise got the operator's attention.
I bet these noobs have never used a teletype either>
OK, I admit I learned Lua programming Warcraft addons, but I've found Lua to be a really friendly language for the hobby-programmer that I am, and now I'm using it for other projects. If a brower could run Lua I'd be tempted to take my web pages beyond HTML and CSS.
I had an inkling even as I typed that the Slashdot crowd would confuse patience, care and practice with ejaculate, but I find it flattering to be thought of as being able to produce two or three coffees a day the latter way. Shucks.

But Texans can't even absorb the Republican smears about his church.
Honestly, there should be some multiple choice questions voters have to pass to weed out the people who are so uninformed they shouldn't be voting:
Barack Obama is:
A: Muslim
B: Christan
John McCain's running mate is:
A: Sarah Palin
B: Tina Fey
Sounds like your kids might need "rescuing".
I'd be struggling to get those fellas out of Orgrimmar. But woe betide any Dire Mottled Boars if I did!

I would rather eat my own eyes than have to read this game's forums.

Oh, I have a Mac. Ah well..
I could make things out just well enough to see the Zerg get comprehensively pwned by siege tanks. My advice:
SPAWN MORE ZERGLINGS!
OK, who knocked Sol up?
You should pre-book yourself a holiday in Tuvalu in 30 years' time. If you're right you'll have a lovely time.
This doesn't deserve to be in the same basket as cold fusion. 250 000 species of plants can't be wrong!
...after watching all this Olympics stuff, something I could probably manage. Four babies: bring them on!
Four very irate mothers would be quite a different story though...

...2D-printing's enough of a nightmare.
Maybe cars will just get bigger again (in volume anyway).
What do they charge for shipping? And do you think they get a cut of it?
Does this open 14 pop-up windows?
We're not home to Mr Grumpy!

Oh the aged-geek-cred of having desperately desired a 1200 Baud modem! Unfortunately for my aged-geek-cred I didn't discover BBSes in the 80s.

...involve coffee and a hacking cough, so maybe it would suit me.
Reminds me of the toaster in Red Dwarf.
My coffee machine was designed in the 1950s, and makes brilliant coffee if you put enough love in.
