Based on the paper, the title should include "WAS" or "FIXED" or something like that. And in a side note, that's why I dislike that journalists have been trained to remove so many words from headline copy by defaul

As someone who's picked up Python only in the last few years, Django is amazing. I'm particularly fond of Django CMS. Does anyone know of a working "static site generator" for Django that works with Django CMS? Or maybe

And there goes what little faith I had that Microsoft was a trustworthy steward of private data. Why is nobody commenting on this story? Is everyone really okay with this?
