Doh... I did mean to say partially eclipsed. Oops. A partially eclipsed Sun is still technically "eclipsed," but... yeah, not as clear as it was meant to be.
That's like saying that walking across a motorway opens the chance of being hit by a car, but in and of itself it's not more dangerous than walking across an empty field.
The reason people are warned not to look at an eclipse isn't because it's more dangerous, it's because people [don't receive the usual physiological stimulus] to look away.
...which is exactly what makes it more dangerous. I don't get why people keep insisting on playing semantic games for the sake of being contrary.
First of all, this whole mania about not looking at the sun ever is absurd.
No-one said anything about not looking at the Sun ever.
People do it all the time between eclipses with no lasting damage.
Looking at an eclipsed Sun - even for the same amount of time (which is "very little") that you could stare at an uneclipsed Sun without incurring damage - is still more dangerous.
Because it was a hybrid and the on-board computer was synced to the battery recharge cycles, the car owner couldn't simply replace the car key without risking the car battery to overcharge and catch fire.
Memes like that don't belong on any site that wants itself to be taken remotely seriously as a source of news, especially when they are indistinguishable from typos.
What next, stories about how Facebook "can haz all our datas"?

We apologise for the accidental civil danger warning. Now here's a real one: don't swim in the water around Guam. Since the first civil danger warning it's gone a funny brown colour.

Hey, what happened to "no cruel or unusual punishment"?
That's why it says new kind of graviational wave source.
Or at least it does now.
It's not implying that at all. It's implying that censorship is not enough to excuse a breach of copyright.
a denial that they never stole anyone's cash.
So they do steal cash? Those rat bastards!
Sounds good. Those things never explode, right?
"There's no reason that Winamp couldn't be in the position that iTunes is in today
Are the two that comparable? Winamp's a media player. iTunes is a front-end for a store and a device manager.

A developer accidentally three-month of his work.
I think someone accidentally a word.
And what the hell is a "three-month"? If that was ever a thing, it hasn't been for about 300 years.
Perhaps "conflict-intolerant" would be a better way of putting it.

The water turning brown around Guam is actually just some new experimental oceanic camouflage.
In addition,
the Guam Power Authority (GPA) reported there were two scheduled outages, for emergency interruption of power, at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., August 14:
"Unrelated to the EAS unauthorized test,
the Guam Power Authority (GPA) reported there were two scheduled outages, for emergency interruption of power, at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., August 14
What is a scheduled outage for emergency interruption, anyway?
And when is it again?
How is your post buried? It's right there, where it should be. It was the first reply to this comment. Where else should it be?
My first thought: Will it be faster? Will it be lighter? No?
Or yes. Yes is the other possibility.
