Thanks for the link. I hadn't realized the enormous amount of matter involved in a pyroclastic flow... And I find solace in well documented and articulated articles as this one.

Thanks for the link!! Mods: please replace the NYT paywalled link with this one. It's free, and it's far more useful too.

Reminds me of the Robin Reliant, here's a video by a popular overseas motoring show that gives you a glimpse of the problems incurred when a high center of gravity is met with 3 wheels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQh56geU0X8

1 wheel in back with 2 wheels in front (like the Bucky car has) is actually pretty stable. 2 wheels in the back with one in front (like the Robin) is not.

Back in the day I used to farm Azshara like it was my job. that place was desolate back then, it's good to see the developers make attempts to make all of the zones useful, the game has just gotten so massive I can see how certain zones would still be under utilized.

Seems to be quite a bit of buffering on my 100 meg connection, anyone else having issues watching this?

Pretty bad for me here on my work connection. I have The Verge's liveblog in another tab.

yeah, i have a whole lot that aswell, might be more people watching than anticipated

It's pretty much unwatchable for me at work as well, way too much buffering. Somebody on the Azure Media Services team is probably going to get an earful afterward.

if you go like 5 min back in the stream it seems very fluid, living 5min in the past is worth it to have a fluid stream :)

And why is it being streamed in flash??

You can watch it without flash -- at least it works perfectly on my phone.

I believe he was referring to "no Silverlight"

bingo, I even loaded up IE and no go. I bet the silverlight devs are miffed.

Same, not 100 meg, but should be more than enough.

Also, you can see how big an influence was Steve Jobs for the tech world.

For potential XBMC users, check out xbmcbuntu. gives you a little more freedom to install / do whatever you want in comparison to OpenELEC.

There was a really good documentary by NOVA on this I watched a while back. Here's the link

one suggestion after signing up for an account and using the service. I misread and thought there would be video for some reason, i just assumed webcast would mean streaming audio and video. My mistake, but regardless when i went to delete my account i found i couldn't actually do that. I had to send a request to support@mixlr.com to remove an account. Fix that! Overall though, nice product and the app seemed well laid out and easy to use.

my dad was a comic nut, collected everything... he sold literally a pool table full of paper grocery bags stacked with comics for I believe 25-30k... so the market collapsed i take it?

I have sophos on all my home systems, it works well and has a pretty small memory footprint.

just played through it and it's a pretty great game. fun and easy to pickup and play right away. so more levels?
