That word for the Chinese currency is "yuan", and it's pronounced something like "you-en" rammed into one syllable, and not like the Spanish name "Juan".
I find the trailer to be a far better video for showing what this project is all about. It shows some gameplay and gives an explanation of the goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu7jA8EHi_0
First time through, I was disappointed that I couldn't see objects that were behind me appearing in front of me when traveling quickly, but maybe I'm missing something about how light aberration works with other relativistic effects?
Before I read the description after the "game" is over, I was confused about why behind me didn't turn black any more when I got that last orb. That's a dramatic modification, maybe there should be an in-game message about the change.
Also I still don't quite get why certain things were still visible in the blackness behind me while looking backwards -- is that infrared traveling faster than visible light?
"Is it a point of pride that your distro is considered difficult to install/use and expert level, or do you view that negatively because it keeps new users from wanting to try Slack?"
Huh, Slackware was the first Linux disto I managed to successfully install, and it's still the one I turn to for Linux.
What? Lifting this ridiculous ban would not mean people could talk on their cell phones for an entire flight.
And, to the author of TFA: No. If you enjoy the solitude provided by people of questionable authority telling you that you can't do perfectly safe things because of some handwaving, there are lots of religions you can join.

...this makes me very happy -- I'll be able to hear myself think during Fleet Week!
Is "digest" really the term of art for that?
Gross-awesome.
QAT isn't bogus, you wanna call it Catha edulis instead?
Oh shit. It doesn't have a friend named Skynet, does it?
My dad does the same thing, and I do a weak version with Gmail's + thing.
Morning glories are LSA, aren't they?

Too bad that player didn't know anything about relativity before playing it. Kept complaining about "sliding around".
"Did I slow down the speed of light?" Yes you moron, that's the name of the goddamn game.
Yeah, that would be great.

How many Lojbanists does it take to change a broken light bulb?
Two: one to decide what to change it into, and one to ponder what kind of bulb emits broken light.
They do those announcements in lots of US airports.
That's what I was wondering. I saw this on Ars and actually said out loud, "What? No."
Or: the government doesn't need to rethink pointless rules because of get off my lawn, damn kids.
