The annual 40,000-mile trip by a species of sea bird around the Pacific Ocean is the longest migration recorded by electronic tracking, scientists say. [...] The data also confirmed the birds' migration path covered the whole of the Pacific region in a massive figure-of-eight pattern.

[...] [T]he strength of the blue pill is based on the SVM technology - so, if you could write a generic 'red pill' for SVM, then it would mean that you could detect blue pill (and that Pacifica is buggy). On the other hand - if you would not be able to come up with a general detection technique for SVM based virtual machine, then you should assume, that you would also not be able to detect blue pill...

Blame it on the Moon: The 2006 Perseid meteor shower is going to be a dud. Oh, Earth will pass through the Perseid meteoroid stream, as usual. And meteors will flit across the sky.
