We Can Put a Man On Pandora, But We Can't Build a Website

Tickets went on sale today for this Friday's Avatar sneak preview -- did you get yours? That'd be an impressive feat, as Fox's Avatar website (through which the ticketing is being done) is a slow, buggy monstrosity given to timeouts, broken programming, and pages that don't load. It's not as though it's flooded with ticket requests, as near as I can tell; after thirty minutes of timeouts and reloading, I finally reached a page where I could reserve tickets for an AMC theater in LA and it still had hundreds of seats available. Sadly, my order wasn't successful until I'd spent 500-odd times attempting to enact it. Maybe we could put one o' them CG supercomputers to use here? [Avatar]
