As seen from Italy, Porco Rosso is... interesting. Someone looked at a lot of pictures, and then re-invented them in a way that is totally alien.

Some crow experts discourage feeding them because they can be a bit too much.

OTOH the Swiss Department of Agriculture says that there is nothing that actually works against corvids. You can scare them and you can make their life difficult, but they learn, and show others how to bypass issues (possibly on "Corvid News"), so they might lose some battle but will win the war.

Web apps work on input text and generate text, and C is not the most text-friendly language there is. There is a reason why early CGI-BINs were usually written in Perl.

Every five years or so, VR gets to be the next hot thing. My first VR ride was on SGI Indigo, so it's been a while. Believers say we're almost there; I beg to be skeptical at this point.
