Slashdot Mirror
The Death of A Universe
ninthwave writes "The Guardian is running an article on research into the visible effects of entropy in the Universe. Alan Heavens of The University of Edinburgh did the research also posted at The Royal Astronomical Society with this article" I dunno - expansion, heat death - it all reminds me of a teacher who said "I'm not a premillenialist, postmillenialist - I'm a pan-millenialist, as in it's all going to pan out in the end." Update: 08/18 16:36 GMT by S : Headline fixed.
You use "an" before a vowel SOUND in English. So You would say "Death of a Universe" because even though "Universe" starts with a vowel, it is pronounced "you-nih-verse". If it were pronounced "Ooh-nih-verse", the headline would be correct.
Back to your regularly scheduled Slashdot, sans editing...

Try to make the link that people are actually going to want to click larger the pointless, gratuitous "top of site" link that nobody wants to click on
The Guardian is running an article
"The Guardian is running an" links to the frontpage of the site.
"article" links to the article.
And there's no space between them, to show you it's two different links before you click.
(Like Myron Krueger said "If people were going to use computers all day, everyday, the design of such machines was not solely a technical problem-- it was also an aesthetic one. A lousy interface would mean a lousy life." Same goes for linking, darn it.)
