thin layer of vasoline. or chapstick (flavored if necessary, but excessive 'sampling' of the flavor will reduce effectiveness).

or just recompress to a DVD-9 using your favorite software suite... like http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/dvdstudiopro/ (check out the middle video clip. how to convert for HD-DVD)

HD-DVD has optional DRM (AACS on red is optional). Blu-ray has mandatory and optional DRM (AACS required. BD+ optional). think about how that factors into burning discs at home for playback (like... authoring HD content to DVD9's and playing them. works on red. doesn't work on blu)

smashing it. or using it to replace my current fone, so i can hand off my current fone to a friend who is still using a 5 year old cel...

free ticket!

maybe not with the level cap at 70. i know plenty of lvl 70's going into naxxramas and having a great time now.

MMO-RTS (the name escapes me, but SOE tried to do one, never got released.)

i'd like to chime in as a former Grand Marshal -- i put points in entrapment for frost trap. i don't care about the other traps it procs on, i have points in it exclusively for frost trap. quite useful in PVP (controlling traffic in BGs, or kiting someone around and over an entrapment procing frost slick is wonderful =p) and i've found it useful in quite a few fights in PVE (tonight alone it was wonderful on nightbane's adds). just because BRK didn't find it useful, doesn't mean its not. it just requires a different playstyle to take advantage of it.
