One of the funny things about Handwavium as a potential environmental disaster is that it grows. You add (mostly) organic material to handwavium, you get more handwavium. There's no particularly established way to turn handwavium into not-handwavium. The really scary thing about handwavium - the thing that I'm sure has the environmentalists terrified - is that if you flush enough of it down the toilet, you're pretty likely to wind up with a strain that runs on sewage. Shortly after that, you'll get a colony of the stuff that isn't possible to get rid of without *extreme* measures, and shortly after *that*, you'll see almost every critter that lives down there sprouting a biomod. Handwavium pollution is potentially very scary indeed - and since it can only be created, not destroyed, the degenerate endstate is with every lifeform on the planet sporting a biomod, and everything on the planet being modified to one degree or another, along with a sea or two of the goop itself.
Given that the original investment might well have been a small spore-bearing pod or something, that would be a *remarkably* efficient way to xenoform a world. A plausible theory for the Overfan, no?

Really well done.

No, I didn't know about the poll, either.
Apparently, Oscar Wilde has been voted the top Brit wit by viewers of a TV station I've never heard of before.
(Edit: Never mind that the top two "Brits" were Irish. After all, the pollsters didn't.)
The Register article linked above lists the top ten from the poll, with at least one quote from each. I especially like the Noel Coward line they chose...

Greatest. Puzzle game. Ever. SO much freaking fun and its more amazing than a lot of the games that have come out recently despite being less than three hours along. It's got humor and style in spades and an epic as all hell ending. Highly recommended to anyone.

here's one for ya.
I just added a disk to my machine, set it as primary boot device installed windows and drivers and etc.
So I'm up, running, and drivered. My old RAID array is drive E, and city of heroes is on it in e:program filescity of heroes
On the old windows install, that was the C drive.
So I run the COHupdater.exe, and it asks me if it's OK to install in C:program filescity of heroes.
That would be a 'no'. I tell it to install in e:program filescity of heroes, where there's already an installation.
It concurs, sees a mess of Piggs, and checksums them.
All is well, but wait.. what's a File Manifest, why am I downloading it, and why won't it download?

US demands air passengers ask its permission to fly
This is the sort of rule that people in the Soviet Union had to live under... and the current US administration wants to make it the law of the land. No, thanks; I'll stay in Canada, where we're still free to travel and assemble as we wish.
I have to conclude that the terrorists won. This kind of proposal is proof of that.
