Slashdot, where armchair scientists get shouted down and armchair theologians get modded up.
In any event, this doesn't affect me. My cats will take down anything within a 100-ft radius of the house, so my windows stay thud-free.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Do you have anything to stop the kangaroos too? :)
If I point out that you are incorrect, making me a foe does not make you any more correct.
I dunno. I love birds. A little bbq sauce, an open flame, delicious.

She used to have a real problem with the neighborhood birds picking on her cat and stealing its food. So she goes to one of those "Everything 99 Cents" sh8tholes and picks up a long cord of cheap bright yellow tinsel, the kind you'd spiral around a Christmas tree. She takes that tinsel and wraps it all over her porch railings- up and down around and around, so that it's everywhere. I don't know how much the neighbors' property values suffer but it sure keeps the birds away. It's almost as if they have taste. They don't want to be seen anywhere near that stuff.
