An anonymous reader writes: Clear isn't getting specific about exactly how much usage is considered excessive, or how far back users should curtail use if they're looking to avoid the throttle monster. We've contacted Clearwire in the hopes of getting more specifics from the company in terms of what they consider excessive use, and/or what triggers "ISDN mode," but have yet to hear back

Warcraft mythology is very unique and involving. There are so many angels that they could come from such as starting early in time when the titans were molding azeroth to the first great war by the burning legion through the well of eterntity. They could start with the more recent storyline started by Warcraft III or create a story in between WC3 and WoW. The only other franchise that has as deep a story behind it would be Magic TCG. Any who, if blizzard is going to be involved in production then I think they will fine tune it to give the impression they are shooting for as they have done in each of their games. I would also be interested in if they movie is going to be CGI or live-action. Blizzard has done some pretty nice looking cut scenes for their games that I would be interested in seeing how this works out. Also you can read up on Warcraft mythology on WoW's home page.

WindBourne writes: Here is an excellent story about Elon Musk and watching his 2'nd launch. Elon Musk is betting his 2x fortunes for the chance to put mankind into orbit CHEAP. Even now, his timing could not be better. It appears that America will be without a man-rated launcher (again) for at least several years. Spacex could be the only American player during that time. If so, then he will be launching not just people to the ISS, but to multiple Bigelow space ships and doing cargo. But then again, with another failure or 2, he may end up broker than he was at age 12. Now the question is, will he also be able to build a launcher that is cheaper and bigger than the planned ares V due out in a decade?
