Listening to the Lana Del Rey & Radiohead tracks just now, I noticed that to my ear they also resemble yet another song, "The Impossible Dream". Similar chord progession and similar melody in some places. Where does it end, L

In this case it sounds like it was the child's fault though? Reading the article I can't quite agree with the notion of "she killed the child". Rather, the child killed himself. He suddenly darted out into the street

And an interesting follow-on question would be: of the OS patches now being implemented which sometimes cause a performance hit, will that code later be able to detect when it's running on a "fixed" processor? So that it ca

A few years ago I wondered whether this happens in the Americas too. I live in the US and have eaten Oreo cookies throughout my life. One time I was in Canada and bought some Oreos there, and to my surprise the flavor was quite different.

Yep, it's still like that now, too! I was on The Price is Right a few months ago, and I got called to "come on down" to be a contestant. Before the show, producer Stan Blits greets every member of the audience while they&#x2

The full quote was "The US has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea." The word "if" was probably the key factor here.

Hey, did you mean Reduced Redundancy (not Infrequent Access)? I just noticed that the new pricing for Standard (2.3¢) is now less than the pricing for Reduced Redundancy (2.4¢)! So there appears to be no reason to use Reduced Redundancy

I'm American, and I sometimes ask myself that too: I catch myself talking loudly and I have no earthly idea why. Probably because that's what everyone else is doing!
