Sounds like the name of a law firm. I assume what was meant was "James Holmes's representation."
did not enter a plea today in with regards to the Aurora, Co. Movie theater shooting
Whut?
The judge entered an advisory that if the plea was changed to Not Guilty by insanity that Holmes would be subject to a 'narcoanalytic interview'
Too many "that"s.

but as the previous article seems to infer that some compromises are being worked out.
This one's hard to parse. Is it "but as the previous article seems to infer, some compromises are being worked out."? Also, which "previous" article? I wouldn't be surprised if you've got "infer" and "imply" mixed up as well, but as I can't work out which article is being referred to, I can't check this.
This certainly raises legal questions on how this is being played out 5th, 14th amendments.
Since when did "Superman" become a good adjective for describing powerful computer systems? I mean, if you must appeal to the hardcore comic book reading geek, wouldn't Brainiac be a better choice?
The summary links to google.com, and there's no doodle - at least, not for me, even after a ctrl-F5. On google.co.uk, though, it's there in all its glory.
I've being trying to think up app ideas for a while, and this was something I thought of. Not as any kind of killer app, admittedly, more as an interesting science project with few practical applications. Damn you Bezos!
Well, yes, in the same sense that a still from Superman shows him in mid-flight too. As far as I can glean, there was an original photograph, from which a lithograph was made - and lithographers, it would seem from the article, commonly "re-imagined" such scenes for artistic purposes - replacing backgrounds, and the like. Based on other altered lithographs, someone has tried to "undo" these changes (which sounds a dubious method to say the very least) to give an idea of what the original photograph looked like.
If Video Games Make People Violent, So Do Pictures of Snakes
What's the "if" about? According to this study, video games can make people violent. Pictures of snakes can also make people violent. But one does not follow from/is not dependent on the other. Also:
Based on the results of their research they concluded in 2001
I know Slashdot can be a little slow on the uptake at times, but this is ridiculous!

I can recite all the digits of pi - just not necessarily in the right order.

Err, yes, it does. Wait, what?
Slashdot. Unreadable news to annoy nerds.
There will, of course, be a vending machine vending machine, in case any of the vending machines break.
Since when did "Superman" become a good adjective for describing powerful computer systems? I mean, if you must appeal to the hardcore comic book reading geek, wouldn't Brainiac be a better choice?
To use the hardware vending machines that everyone in the company knows about? No, you can't.
Bill Plait's take on this story.
Is that Phil's big brother?
Yeah, all the scientists I know just love syntactic ambiguity.
Okay, now imagine Lindsay Lohan, naked, doing a backwards crab walk.
Just do this for me!
Mentioning Neil Gaiman, you've made me wonder what Douglas Adams could have come up with if he was still writing for Doctor Who today...

Astronomers Discover Third-Closest Star System To Earth
What impresses me most is that they kept the third spot clear until they made the discovery. How dey do dat?

They don't want us "meaties" cramping their style.
Don't speed or run red lights. You'll put these guys out of business and make the streets safer. Everybody wins.
Ah crap, should've said "discontinued banana." Sounds ruder.
almost as good as the discontinued banana vaccine project.
I caught banana last year. Not nice.
Nobody wants ads in the way while they're trying to read something
You can safely shorten that by 9 words.
A reconstructed image shows him mid-flight.
Well, yes, in the same sense that a still from Superman shows him in mid-flight too.

I call shenanigans!
As you can see, it's pretty much the "computer... magnify, rotate, enhance" sort of photo manipulation that "proves" flight.
I think that's being generous.

He is an educated man, a Ph.D. no less.
And geeks and street smarts always go together, of course.
"how can I get my girlfriend and her cute roommate into bed at the same time?"
Get him drunk before you ask him.
So, no actual answer then?
What makes 4:20PM too early, but 4:50PM okay?
