If Snape could enter Grimmauld Place, then why didn't he tell the Death Eaters where it was?
Because Snape was never a traitor.
Not really a mistake but... how did Griffyndorf's sword got away from the goblins?
The Goblins obviously made it for them, they didn't care that a fake sword got deposited in Gringots.
How could Dumbledore best Grindenwald if the latter had the Elder Wand? also, how did he not defeat Voldemort completely with the Elder Wand when they dueled?
Because Dumbledore was a better wizard than Grindenwald, having the Elder wand didn't automatically make you a good wizard.
How did Dumbledore's painting know of the plan to take Harry off Private Drive, in order to counsel Snape?
Dumbledore either discussed it before or after his death. The paintings have memories (see Chamber Of Secrets).
I enjoyed OOTP. The book is overly long and probably the weakest of the series, but what I find most interesting in the films is watching Daniel Radcliffe et al growing into their roles. OOTP is an incredibly long book and, like all the movies, it's like reading the book in fast forward. The book's better than the film, but it was still very very good.
I finished Deathly Hallows this morning after spending all of yesterday ploughing through it.
And I really, really loved it.
JK Rowling has been very clever with the books and I don't know if the entire series has been foreshadowed, but throughout the final book she drops little hints that I, if I had actually been paying very close attention to, would have figured out before the climax.
You can scoff all you want that it's a kids book and you'd rather die than read it and if this is the case, then I pity you. I felt exactly the same way until I tried them, and it's very rare that a book can make me laugh while I'm reading it.
Now that it's all over I feel very sad that there might never be another author in my lifetime who can create characters that fit together so well.
They'd better not have nicked my code or they're in trouble. It's GPL 3 I'll have you know...

Step 5. Make sure your Killzone 2 E3 trailer very closely matches the 2005 CGI trailer.
In all seriousness though, if you pay someone to write you some software and it fucks up, whose fault is it? Theirs for not testing it, or yours for not testing it again?
Maybe we'll see another article in a couple of days:
I must admit, when I saw the CGI trailer last year I was very skeptical about whether or not they could get anywhere near it.
It's very rare that I'll watch a trailer for something with my mouth half open. The Transformers trailer and the Killzone 2 trailer had this effect on me.
I think I've watched it 5 times now and I still don't believe it's realtime, even though it is*
Agreed, the name in itself has been chosen just to confuse Open Office and Office Open XML being the same thing. I can imagine the standards body meeting now:
"OK great, we'll pick the Open Document Format over Office Open XML"
(Some poor sod writing up the meeting notes)
Right, they've chosen the standard by the guys who do Open Office... aha! Here it is, Office Open XML...
I'm so fed up of people complaining about the lack of 64 bit versions of software. Unfortunately you guys jumped the gun on 64 bit, everyone uses dual 32 bit processors these days.
But fret not, you can join them by simply cutting your processor in half.
well, you can be prosecuted if you're caught filming a movie in the cinema.
What I've always wanted to do though is very obviously erect a camera with tripod in one of the aisles and then continuously tell people off for eating too loud / whispering / getting in the way of the shot.
"Guys, will you keep it down! I'm trying to film this!"

was nearly as underwhelming as Microsoft's E3 showing
Pow, Right in the kisser!
as I'm sure that anyone who has seen a pair of dogs shagging in public will agree.
While the recompilations are supposed to run as a background task, in some instances the recompilation will drive the processor to 100% usage.
Sounds like Microsoft are Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Being Root

*it is realtime, isn't it?
Using up 99% of the CPU's easy!
#include
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
while (1) {}
return 0;
}
and while they may have 50, 100, 200 friends they will mockingly see that you have a pathetically small number
I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week
I think NASA got a shitty deal there...
....next I hear they are going to ban the showing of OLD Looney Tunes.
Some unbalanced person might be pushed over the edge, and start dropping anvils on people heads.
That would be funny, except they're editing Tom And Jerry episodes to stop them glamorising smoking...
