Funny News paper headlines

2007-01-11T07:23:00.000-08:00

Actual Newspaper Headlines

Some are just slips of the tongue

Grandmother of eight makes hole in one
Deaf mute gets new hearing in killing
Police begin campaign to run down jaywalkers
House passes gas tax onto senate
Stiff opposition expected to casketless funeral plan
Two convicts evade noose, jury hung
William Kelly was fed secretary
Milk drinkers are turning to powder
Safety experts say school bus passengers should be belted
Quarter of a million Chinese live on water
Farmer bill dies in house
Iraqi head seeks arms

Some become unintentionally suggestive

Queen Mary having bottom scraped
Is there a ring of debris around Uranus?
Prostitutes appeal to Pope
Panda mating fails - veterinarian takes over
NJ judge to rule on nude beach
Child's stool great for use in garden
Dr. Ruth to talk about sex with newspaper editors
Soviet virgin lands short of goal again
Organ festival ends in smashing climax

Grammar often botches other headlines

Eye drops off shelf
Squad helps dog bite victim
Dealers will hear car talk at noon
Enraged cow injures farmer with ax
Lawmen from Mexico barbecue guests
Miners refuse to work after death
Two Soviet ships collide - one dies
Two sisters reunite after eighteen years at checkout counter

Once in a while, a botched headline takes on a meaning opposite from the one intended:

Never withhold herpes from loved one
Nicaragua sets goal to wipe out literacy
Drunk drivers paid $1,000 in 1984
Autos killing 110 a day, let's resolve to do better

Sometimes newspaper editors state the obvious

If strike isn't settled quickly it may last a while
War dims hope for peace
Smokers are productive, but death cuts efficiency
Cold wave linked to temperatures
Child's death ruins couple's holiday
Blind woman gets new kidney from dad she hasn't seen in years
Man is fatally slain
Something went wrong in jet crash, experts say
Death causes loneliness, feeling of isolation

Store 256GB on an A4 sheet

By Chris Mellor, Techworld

How much information can you store on an A4 sheet? Well, according to some new technology designed by an Indian engineering student, an extraordinary 256GB.

New "rainbow technology", devised by Sainul Abideen who has just completed an MCA degree in Kerala, data can be encoded into coloured geometric shapes and stored in dense patterns on paper.

Files such as text, images, sounds and video clips are encoded in "rainbow format" as coloured circles, triangles, squares and so on, and printed as dense graphics on paper at a density of 2.7GB per square inch. The paper can then be read through a specially developed scanner and the contents decoded into their original digital format and viewed or played. The encoding and decoding processes have not been revealed.

Using this technology an A4 sheet of paper could store 256GB of data. In comparison, a DVD can store 4.7GB of data. The Rainbow technology is feasible because printed text, readable by the human eye is a very wasteful use of the potential capacity of paper to store data. By printing the data encoded in a denser way much higher capacities can be achieved.

Paper is, of course, bio-degradable, unlike CDs or DVDs. And sheets of paper also cost a fraction of the cost of a CD or DVD.

Abideen has demonstrated a 45-second video clip being encoded on paper, termed by him, a rainbow video disk - RVD - and then played back through a computer with an RVD scanner attached. In another demonstration he has shown 432 A4 pages of paper rainbow format-encoded and stored on a two-inch by two-inch square of paper.

He says that smaller scanners could fit inside laptop computers or mobile phones, and read SIM card-sized RVD's containing 5GB of data.

The recording media could be either paper or plastic sheets. Such media are making a comeback - witness yesterday's story about re-writable paper.

Why do we live

2006-08-12T23:58:00.000-07:00

Few days ago I read a book "Nirvana" from that though I didn't got Nirvana, I was wondering why we live, what is the ultimate goal of our life, are we born just to grow old, have sex, marry, have kids and serve them for next 20 yrs of thr life as our parents did for us become older and older and die one day , are we born just to do this ,or is there some driving force for our life that governs us to do our work, I don't think any one can find the answer of these questions, but still everyone lives and lives and is living for past, I don't know how many centuries. Why is this universe existed after all, what if thr would be no one, no living beings no water nothing, who the hell governs all these things , I just want to find answers of these questions before I die

Internet explorer is not that bad

2005-12-18T04:41:00.000-08:00

I used to check my email around ten times a day ,i was bored of clicking inbox , compose, signout .. I wanted to do all things just by pressing a key ,so i thought i should have keyboard shortcuts for all . And internet explorer has a good feature .
Just go to the icon of which you want to create a shortcut say "inbox" what you have to do is to just right click the icon and add it to favourites ,after adding to the favorites go to the "Favorites" and click "manage favourites" not right click your link and go to "properties" there will be a option "keyboard shortcuts" in which "none" will be printed just press Ctrl key and you will see "Ctrl + Alt" you can add alphabet to it say Ctrl+Alt+I for inbox or you can use "Ctrl+Shift+ Alphabet" or any combination of it .
So enjoy..
