Since no one has posted anything about the forums occasionally crapping out with 502 bad gateway errors and rendering oddly when they don't, I guess it's only me who's being affected. Wonder why that is...

...that Steve Jobs announced that he was changing cellular telephones into something that BlackBerry had been doing for seven years prior to that announcement (but that was in Canada so it doesn't count).

Are people enjoying their smartphones nowadays?

Anyone care to give their opinion on this?

Ship Name: ISV Warranty Void if Removed
History: Built by a group of U.S fen just out of college, the Warranty was constructed in Lunar orbit in 2013. Designed as an interstellar explorer, she was just completed when the owners ran into financial difficulty. Face with a crisis, the recent graduates did what they knew best-- abandoned the only person not willing to give up on the ship with the bill. For the past four years, she’s been hauling cargo all over the solar system, but with most of the outstanding debts paid off, her crew is currently in talks with various factions and agencies about mounting some new interstellar expeditions...
Ship Quirks:
Damnit, I’m a scientist, not a soldier!- Despite being based on the ARMD from the Macross series, the Warranty is most emphatically not a warship, and mounting weapons on her is a surefire way to get massive performance drops in speed and computing power.
G’kar’s Last Conundrum- A container of Swedish Meatballs turns up in the back of the ship’s fridge once a week, despite the fact that no one in the crew likes meatballs.

What do you call a medieval weaponry shop run by three people all dating each other?
A polyarmory.

Hermione looked up from the book in front of her when two shadows
blocked the light that hovered above and behind her.  Fred and
George Weasley grinned as one at her and dropped into the seats
on either side of her at the library table where she had spent
several hours in fruitless research.  "Good evening, Hermione,"
they proclaimed together.

"Good evening," she replied cautiously.

"Word on the street," one -- whom she decided was Fred, given 
that every time she had known for *sure* which was which, Fred 
had always been the one to charge forward or take the leadership 
role -- said, "claims you know something about the gold handprint 
on the wall of the Defence classroom."

She closed the book and raised an eyebrow.  "On the *street*?"
she asked dubiously.

"Well, in the halls," said the presumed George.

"More precisely, the Common Room," amended Fred.

Hermione simply regarded them calmly, eyebrow still raised.

The twins sighed in unison at her refusal to play along.  "Ron
told us," George admitted.

"So?" Fred asked.  "Do you?"

The next morning, Usagi glared at Luna while getting dressed.

"What?" Luna demanded.

"You snore," Usagi accused as she adjusted her skirt.

"I *what*?"  Luna tilted her head.

"You *snore*," Usagi repeated, reaching for her middy blouse.
"I woke up in the middle of the night last night and heard you."

"How can I snore?" Luna demanded.  "I'm a *cat*!"

Usagi rolled her eyes as she pulled the blouse on over her head.
"How can you snore?  How can you *talk*?"  She studied herself in 
the mirror as she adjusted her collar.  "Doesn't matter.  No more 
sleeping on my pillow right next to my ear."

Since they're not really worth their own threads but are worth bringing to people's attention (for an elastic definition of "worth"), here's a thread for oddities from the news.

Please, actual stories only - no "hey, look at that silly person" pieces.

Here's how to make your own tractor beam:


Here's how it works (at the "50,000-foot-view" level):
