...LaBelle was told by Cowell to "pack your suitcase." The crowd booed him lustily. The next night Idol's army of home voters sent LaBelle packing. This is the Cowell paradox. Fans of Fox's megahit talent show--not to mention its contestants--have few kind words for the adder-tongued English judge.

Want to help the economically displaced? Send them unemployment benefits, but don't slow the rest of us down so they can keep a job that should have left for Malaysia long...
...adder and most of the registers were laid out in one afternoon. The design of a 16-bit, bidirectional shift register, employed to turn additions into actual multiplication and division, took John a couple of days to complete...
