I wonder if cow and chicken farms could use this technology as well? I know students at UC Davis would love for the smell to go away...

"Design skis to Antarctic station contest win"
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/20 ... 417099.htm
Is it just me or is that title not exactly "English"? I guess I'll let ABC slide this time since it is its Australian site, but they should still consider getting a new editor.
The rest of the article is of marginal interest.

I didn't have the marginal interest to read the rest of the article, but I'm guessing they're using design=noun, skis=verb, and win=noun. Like "Robojoe walks to Antarctic station contest victory". It's of course not a real sentence because journalists are entirely incapable of using real sentences for titles, but it's close, though it did take a few reads to decipher it. Maybe Australians are more used to seeing "win" as a noun than we are.quantus wrote:"Design skis to Antarctic station contest win" Is it just me or is that title not exactly "English"?
If people want to avoid having the plot spoiled, why don't they just avoid reading the Harry Potter websites???? But that would be too obvious, and they would miss out on the daily feature "What Color Is Hermione's Underwear Today?".Alan wrote:Good Lord, is Harry Potter really that good?

I think the title's got all the motive necessary.The case is being treated as murder though no motive has yet been established, according to reports citing the public prosecutions office of Moscow's central district.

Somehow, I don't think this is quite true for a couple hundred dollars a license. If windows cost around the price of a dvd or two, then maybe.
I might have to agree with the burning money line though ...Peijen wrote:I am not so sure about this study ...
