  14. Re:You must mean on Physicists Discover "Doubly Strange" Particle · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, the chromodynamics in question affect the lattice in a pre-quantum way leading to the natural progression of the Omega-sub-b particle to a Neo-Post-Omega-sub-b-alpha-pre-c particle which in turn makes the Flux Capacitor a feasible theory, provided the higgs boson does indeed exist making meaningful time travel possible and allows the creation of more excellent water slides.

  15. Re:Where do I sign up? on MPAA Plans To Launch Movie Links Site · · Score: 1
    Crankiness aside, I think its a fine idea instead of the strong arm tactics of the past...

    from TFA

    MPAA's past efforts to "help users" have

    not exactly revolved around making things

    easier for anyone; they have instead included

    legal attacks on P2P sites, pushing for

    Internet filtering on college campuses, trying

    to stop DVRs from recording movies, and paying

    $15,000 for the private e-mail addresses of

    TorrentSpy users. But, if this initiative

    turns out being as simple and straightforward

    as it sounds, and if it gains enough

    popularity to be widely used, then it could

    actually offer something of value to consumers.

  22. Re:In other words... on World of Warcraft Arena PvP Season 4 Announced · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Once you hit 70 the game basically boils down to getting new gear. Which is mind numbingly boring if you're only interested in having fun. I don't think it boils down that neatly, if you are interested in pushing end game content then there is plenty to do. I do agree with you about PVP though, it seems like no one knows how to work together so its usually a shouting contest as everyone is telling everyone else what to do.

    However, when you get bored with that level 70 char you made you can always start a new character and start the fun all over again.
