    Boom in tiny bedbugs is causing big trouble

    WASHINGTON — The biggest bedbug outbreak since World War II has sent a collective shudder among apartment dwellers, college students and business travelers across the nation.
    Oh god, bedbugs are prowling again. Better clean your sheets carefully and don't let the bedbugs bite! This article is kind of informative, in a way.

    It's only a problem when you actually GET bedbugs, right?

    Is there a way to prevent them?

    I never got bedbugs before because I clean my sheets like every two or three weeks. My brother and sister has gotten a case of them, but that's long history now. I only know proper cleaning is the way to prevent them, and that's from personal experience.

    DDT will do the trick just fine. Search your grandfather's attic or garage for a canister.

    North Korea conducts nuclear test

    ...which ultimately led to the following:

    "Shares on the South Korean stock market drop 4% following news from North".

    I foresee a downturn reaction in the Dow Jones on Monday (tomorrow)...

    Sweet, looks good. Great idea with the sliding screen, and it doesn't seem much thicker than the first-gen PSP.

    Here's hoping they line up more developer support for games and apps.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    You'd think North Korea's biggest problems would lie in feeding its starving and impoverished population, not in nuclear technology...

    What, you mean the "ruling class" giving a fuck about the people of it's nation except to the extent that said people is useful to it's agenda? Nah. They can starve for all N. Korea's politicians care. Or anywhere for that matter.

    What's so hard about finding a ninja? Surely the town is not teeming with people only showing their eyes, covering the rest of their body...

    Oil is Plentiful, Demands Weak, Why Are Gas Prices Going Up?

    Storage tankers across the globe may be brimming with oil that no one is buying because of the global economic downturn, but the traditional laws of supply and demand don't always apply to oil prices. Drivers have faced rising prices at the gas pump in recent months, as investors and oil-producing countries hoard supplies in anticipation of a global economic recovery later this year.
    I was wondering why the oil prices were going up and now I know. They were like $1.47 a few months ago, and continued to rise ever since. I guess we'll have to wait a few years for the oil prices to either diminish or peak itself.

    I don't know whether I like that move right now. Cheaper petrol would help us in general, but I'd also like the prices to stay high as an incentive to drive research into alternative energy sources, getting us off the stranglehold of high petrol.
