I’ve always been a big fan of particle physics and astronomy. So when CERN fired up their massive particle accelerator to 50% today (7 TeV PER PARTICLE! which is kinda sick), that was definitely a 9.98 out of 10 on the awesome scale 
Hopefully some preliminary results can be released this summer
One thing that really surprised me was the funky graphics produced:
And the fact that they use VLC, the best video playback software ever made
Last night I was about to watch an episode of Stargate Atlantis from a DVD, for some reason the dvd player in my computer had problems reading it (the read speed was severely reduced 2 times every minute) and as a result the video went very choppy and skipped like 3-5 seconds 2 times every minute..
I tried playing the dvd in both my Playstation 2 and the DVD player (the box under my tv), but none of these would play the dvd as it is the “wrong region”..
Thankfully VLC (the best player ever) has a function that makes it buffer X amount of milliseconds ahead when playing a dvd, so I set this to 15’000 ms, and could finally watch the episode.
VLC has a bunch of useful features, so if your stuck with winamp, powerDVD and other shitty players, try VLC.. it’s GRRRREAT!
