That doesn't always work, since the page can intercept the key presses and do whatever it wants with them, and also because the input focus may be inside some element on the page, such as an embedded video, requiring a click somewhere else on the page to return the focus to the entire document.
You know those little arrow buttons at each end of the scroll bar? The ones that scroll the content one line at a time? Gone as of Chrome 32. Anyone else think this is a terrible idea?
Bug report here.
I also had a "Mrs. K---" as a teacher. This one insisted that the value of pi was exactly 22/7 and that I would turn the world of mathmatics on its head if I could prove otherwise!
Enter any U.S. home, fish around in the sofa cushions, and you find two or three forgotten sidearms. Look down the heating vent and you'll find a dozen types of ammo. And in Junior's room? Colorful books on precision reloads and bench-rest shooting, as explained by cute teddy bears. I would start to exaggerate, but I don't really have to.
As a Canadian, what I would really like to see are some good Canada jokes.
It seems you can stack up these sheets and make very dense memory out of it. Here is a quote from the article:
"They will be available in different form factors, ranging from single sheets where minimum thickness is important to stacks which can easily be put into a product that offers a terabyte of storage in a package no bigger than a pad of paper."
Appropriately enough, the author's name is Dr. Sheats.

That made me shoot coffee out my nose. Which is another reason to hate titanium.
Okay, I'll bite. I'm Canadian and I've never had any problem with them at all. What's so bad about Canadian Tire? (No, I don't work there.)
Well, testing with technicians is at least a step beyond testing with security guards, whom we all know are utterly expendable.

No need. I googled for it and found this.
Ah, that's the old VTEC system. They now have a scheme called i-VTEC that is continuously variable.

Why such high murder rates in the U.S.?

Well, let's see. Assuming 100 watts continuous power consumption per server and an electricity rate of $0.15 per kilowatt-hour, we have:
0.1 kW * 10,000 servers * (365 * 24) hours * $0.15 per kW-h
which is $1,314,000 per year, just to run their server farm.
Oh, I almost forgot. Pit vipers have special organs (pits) that enable them to sense the heat of their prey.
Electric eels and some kinds of fish can detect movement
within an electric field that they project around
their bodies.
Perusing Rolltronics' web site I came across this interesting nugget:
