 Encyclopedia: Sirens
Elle (the only playable siren) suffered grief when she realised that her singing had caused the crashing of a ship and vowed to never sing again, until her friends convinced her that she should not be ashamed of her nature as a siren.
And since Siren is all about keeping you unarmed -- you're freaking lucky if you get so much as a flashlight in a given mission -- most of the time is spent hiding from or sneaking past them.
Siren's not-so-subtle way of saying "don't enter" is to have you get shot at immediately and since trying to escape with the usual clunky controls is practically a pipe dream, you're more or less dead.

 Speaking to older people (page 2) | Antimoon Forum
The verb meaning "to beget, to be the sire of" is attested from 1611, from the noun.
At least here in Wisconsin, even "Mr.", "Mrs.", and "Ms." seem rather old-fashioned as a whole, and I don't hear them actually used a whole lot, except for referring to individuals that one doesn't know their first names, in formal business contexts, and for referring to teachers in grade school and like.
In normal conversation, in most cases, titles and like, or even first name *and* last name, are generally not used, except when multiple individuals in the same context have the same first name, and the use of last names is necessary for disambiguation.

The result of disambiguation is a WordNet word sense for each content word in the gloss.
Firstly, the use of tagging and disambiguation together ensures that two features are only considered identical if they are used in the same syntactic category and with the same word sense.
Accurate disambiguation would be essential in order to prevent degradation of the representations.

The remaining words are then disambiguated relative to WordNet using the Veronis and Ide method of depth one (Ide and Veronis, 1990).
Firstly, the use of tagging and disambiguation together ensures that a pair of features are only considered identical if they are used in the same syntactic category and with the same word sense.
For example `saw' as in the past participle of `see' should not match `saw' as in `tenon saw', because they are different in syntactic category.

 Radar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of any signal due to the finite speed at which the signal travels compared to the motion of the object.
For instance, sound travels at the fairly slow speed of around 300 m/s, which is why you hear the Doppler effect of an ambulance siren as it passes you at 3 m/s or so.
Although this results in a small 1% change in frequency, the human ear is very good at detecting this change.

The field of Word-Sense Disambiguation is dedicated to developing software tools which will help computers to identify the intended sense of a word.
Similarities between lexicons can therefore be a handy shortcut to vocabulary expansion, or a siren luring the learner onto the rocks of misunderstanding.
Any learner of English wishing to get to grips with the English lexicon must cope with homonyms on two levels; with the multitude of homonyms within the English language on the one hand, and with the homonyms which exist between English and their own mother tongue on the other.
