New Deep Sea Squid
texchanchan writes: "Yahoo reports on a newly discovered species of deep-sea squid, quoting scientists as saying the creatures are very different from normal giant squids. 'New species are a dime a dozen. This is fundamentally different' in behavior and appearance -- with 10 identical long skinny arms and a jellyfish-like hunting strategy. 'We don't know of any cephalopod that has arms like that.' --Michael Vecchione of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. 'I had never seen anything like this creature,' oceanographer William Sager of Texas A&M says."
I wonder how long it will be before Microsoft sues the squid.

Does anyone know how this new squid is going to help my web cache performance, and where are the changelog and download URLs?
UNIX? They're not even circumcised! Savages!
Is this news? If I had wanted information about the latest squid releases, I would have gone to freshsquid.
What does my ablity to spell have to do with their ablity to classify sea creatures?
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
I saw Morimoto make a sashimi using one of those. The challanger fought back with a daring squid fondu, but to no avail. Once again, the Iron Chef reigned supreme!

Actualy the ablity to spell has little to do with that. According to the standardized tests I've taken, I'm in the top 7% of collage students.
That's totaly irrelevent, however. As we are not talking about my ablity to classify squids, but rather the researchers in comparison to some slashdotter who read a Yahoo! news story about it. If you had any kind of intelegence, you would realize this. My intelegence has nothing to do with their ablity to classify squid.
