demise of wild owls in the country as children seek to emulate the boy wizard by taking the birds as pets.
Ah, silly children.
there seems to be a strange fascination even among the urban middle classes for presenting their children with owls
Oh, so it's the parents' fault.
Researchers found that a growing number of owls were being trapped, traded or killed in black magic rituals. [...] Diwali, one of the biggest Hindu festivals, [...] It said owls were sometimes sacrificed on auspicious occasions.
Oh, right. We were talking about black magic. This article is really easy to follow.
From a preview article showing the building/pool design in 2008, the author said:
I'm extremely worried that the synergy of the energy reflection is going to turn this pool deck into a frying pan.
Think ants + magnifying glass.
[...]
Perhaps CityCenter's crack team of architects have done enough mathematics and simulation tests to have figured out a solution. Perhaps they haven't. We'll find out August 2010.
Mod up parent. A title with DIY and $10 is annoying and a waste of my time if the thing really costs upwards of $100. Author probably knew DIY $100 remote car starter just isn't very noteworthy.
This is exactly how I see it. It isn't the month of birth that is causing the "life with less means". It is the teenage mother-to-be with less means that is getting laid at prom. Do the math. Class dismissed.
No, a loss of $2M a day assumes that their current dollar amount that they bring in continues. If they didn't bring in a single dollar, they would be burning through that cash to cover expenses very quickly. Their current income covers their expenses so that they don't have to burn through their cash on hand. If you take away all revenue, you're left with expenses and that wad of cash goes bye bye in much less than 21 years. For instance, they spent $2.7B on R&D in 2008. You can turn off that bill without firing everyone. Then there's $3.7B on General/administrative expenses. I think they'd have to shut down their operation if they were to hope to run for 21 years, which kind of defeats the purpose of existing if you have to shut down and fire everyone.
Where's the secret? The title said "secret" but nothing is mentioned of a secret. Even in the article the only use of the word "secret" is in the title. Bogus.
Unfortunately, luck would have it that that universe is full of beautiful women that will discover our planet and destroy us with lasers, OR full of disgusting aliens that force us to mate with them. I've seen it before.
Not a lot of technical discussion in the article. I would have liked to hear more about what they did and why it left people a bit cross-eyed. Did the camera angles not line up with each other? Do they pan back and forth on a fixed track? Are the two camera lenses close to each other or far apart? Are they synchronized mechanically to each other and/or part of the same camera?

Yes, it's circumventing EA's production error. That's why they call it a "work-around". But it isn't circumventing a copy protection meaure because you're the rightful owner of the game and are using the game in an acceptable way.
Would it be bypassing a security measure to forget the last character of your bank login password and then guess the last character?
Would it be breaking and entering if you locked yourself out of your residence and found an open window to get through?
When you say "turn the volume down" people don't think it applies to them because they're only turning it up so that they can hear it above the noise. Is it too loud for them? Of course not, they wouldn't be able to hear it if it was softer. Therefore it's not up too loud, right?
Firefox 3 May Be More Memory Efficient Than Either IE or Opera So Firefox 3 is more efficient than either IE or Opera? Which one is it then? Either/or implies one or the other but not both. It sounds like an exclusive or.

If them new fangled USB sticks are getting cracked easily, then ya'll need some stronger plastics!
They don't make 'em like they used to. Back in the day we had USB sticks made from solid steel.
I tried to download the free one to check it out.
First attempt yielded a very fast download (think too fast) of a zip file that was 14 MB and it won't open, it "does not appear to be a valid archive."
Tried same thing again and got a 17 MB zip file download completed but similar results.
...it would be kind of neat to be able to rent, transcode to something that will fit within XGA nicely, watch on the projector, and delete. Yes, don't forget the delete.
There really isn't an article, it's the video also shown on this page.
To make it even more abhorrent, the video makers have McCain winning with 48% of the vote. Not sure how a Diebold machine is supposed to know the results of the entire electoral college across the US to determine a winner though. But it's supposed to be funny.
From the TIGER site:
This mapping engine uses 1998 TIGER/Line® data and 1990 Decennial Census data. Yikes! I wonder if roads and developments have changed in the last 10 years?

Should read A $30B IT Stimulus Could Create Almost 1 Million Jobs.
Then I wouldn't have been lead to believe there was news here about a real stimulus package.

The bigger problem is that I can't fit these music player ear buds in my ears with these stupid hearing aids!
Make an ear bud like a tube or adapter to a hearing aid. That'll be the next big thing once everyone goes mostly deaf.

Yep, looks like Slashdot was the premature one covering a video article from The Onion before April 1st. Oops.
