Yeah it basically means polar opposites - I hadn't noticed that before.
|
|
|
|

It's an auto-antonym or contranym - I just like the whole idea of a word that also means its own opposite!

Sometimes they're also known as Janus words or, if you want to be really obscure, enantionyms.
It's amazing how many examples there are in English - how did we ever manage to learn this language?
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

A private lunar landing... We have to tell Dalek Dave!
... such stuff as dreams are made on

From the article "The network will enable Audi lunar exploration vehicles to communicate with each other and with a base station."
No change there then, Audi drivers will be using their mobile phones while driving on the moon too...

Outstanding question: Will BMW indicators work on the moon?

Just like Earth: no one will ever know.

I know, because BMW's secret volcano base[^] must be somewhere here in town. Just yesterday I saw two prototypes - on the parking lot of a supermarket. The testers were busy getting some lunch and running around the cars with clipboards and, well, testing things. Who knows why, but they also checked the underused indicators.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

You make it sound like that might be difficult, in either case - highly disputable!

The moon? Hey, they haven't even got 1G there!

And neither do parts of Australia!

JavaScript is the most trending programming language on the web today! Facebook, Google, Uber and countless so-called Unicorn startups have now made JavaScript a cornerstone of their technology stack.

Yeah that was a WTF moment for me as well.
Who comes up with these?, obviously someone with way too much time on their hands.

The blood of these startups will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price.

Yes, but it will be a half life, a JavaScript life.  Just shoot me already... 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.
