reasoned discourse 

Term for when gun control advocates regularly censor comments on their message boards or blogs. Usually when their arguments and claims are easily refuted.

Term comes from the last days of the old Brady Campaign blog where they ran a series called, of course 'Reasoned Discourse' where they highlighted alleged violent or disgusting comments they had received. This was shortly before they blocked all comments and later deleted them.
I pointed out that murder was already illegal and that making it moreso with a special gun murder statute was a bit silly. Reasoned discourse broke out, and my comment vanished from the blog.

cyclotron resonance 

plasma in a magnetic field is heated through the resonance effect when the vibration frequency of an oscillating electromagnetic field matches the gyro-frequency of the charged particles in the plasma. This effect is known as Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating, and enables the generation of superheated plasma over 100 million degrees celcius of temperature.
this definition is pretty much ruining the title "urban" dictionary. but every dictionary should have something like cyclotron resonance.

Slow and unreliable Residential Network, hince "ResNET" provided to students in Residence Halls.

While working, ResNET seems to be faster during the day, until about 9pm. From there until 1am, every campus student tries to get on Facebook and YouTube, dramatically slowing down the shared bandwidth.
On Facebook chat:
Joe: ResNET is screwing up again...
Bob: *Typing*

Resonance Cascade 

The primary event leading to the other major events in the popular computer game Half-Life. It was caused by Gordon Freeman.
After the resonance cascade, aliens began to fill the Black Mesa Research facility and kill off the science and security personel. Things got worse over the years, as a new race of aliens named "Combine" came along and began killing people and sucking up Earth's natural resources. Because of all this, we can blame Gordon Freeman.
