Jet planes and bird strikes

I was reading an article about a United Airlines jet today, that had an engine flame out after ingesting a bird while taking off from O'hare. Shouldn't those engines be designed by now so that a bird strike won't really affect them?

it seems to be at least a decades old problem. I left O'Hare on Tuesday, and -- bellevue it or not -- my plan was stranded between the gate and the runway because the "tug" , which moves it backwards from the gate, ran out of gas. So we sat there for 20 more minutes. would have had more sympathy if it were a bird strike.
