Saturday, November 19, 2011. Finally: EU bans obviously false claim that water can prevent dehydration. It is about time that government got these reckless prevaricators under control! EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact. Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month. An event or ...

Don't forget unmanned space exploration. The only casualty here can be a programmer's reputation. Space Shuttle Mission 2007. Friday, January 28, 2011.
