No they didn't. It was the rampant speculation in oil futures by the likes of Lehman and Bear Stearns to cover their losses on CDSs that drove up the price of oil and gasoline until the SEC and the Fed told them to stop doing it or be investigated. That happened around the second week of July, right after which the markets started their current plunge. Coincidence?
This is not news. Apple has always recommended that users of its products run anti-virus software. The reason that this got 'amped-up' was because Brian Krebs at the Washington Post 'noticed' the Apple Support document while trolling around their site enjoying the new, harder to use, design layout. What he failed to notice -and mention in his blog- was the article was modified from an earlier one that said basically the same thing. It's prudent for Apple to have been saying this all along so as to avoid any liability. To use the old/. saying, "Nothing to see here; move along."
Nearly four out of five viewers can tell the difference. This correlates well with other studies that show four out of five respondents answer surveys.
Replace TRACON. It also won't replace Ground Traffic Radar. Few, if any, aircraft mishaps occur during the cross-country leg of an aircraft's flight plan. Most airplane crashes -which are not accidents- occur during approach-and-landing, on the runway or taxiway, or during takeoff.
Yes. But, all terrorists are gun owners.
Seriously though, who could Obama pick to fill these offices? Most of the qualified are long term douchebags with colorful records of jumping on every 'cause celeb' to get there ugly mugs in the news and they have crazy ideas to boot. The 'Change you can believe in' has happened -and change would have happened anyway as 'Dubyah' was on the way out- and now it will be 'more of the same'. Get used to it.
"...But for my money, the clone I would most like to see is Otzi [about.com] everyone's favourite ice-man."
What you fail to understand, in this instance, is that 'Otzi', the person, was a product of the time and environment in which he lived. Science would gain little from cloning him because his clone, a new, separate, human consciousness, would be a product of this time period. Humans have changed very little, from an evolutionary standpoint, since the conscious being that was 'Otzi' existed. The only thing that we could possibly gain from an 'Otzi' clone would be a slightly better understanding of the function of the human appendix.
"Forensics teams are already licking their chops."
I can only see this, in a positive light, as uncovering fraud or deception -possibly even supporting a claim as to the veracity of a witnesses' testimony to photographing a crime- instead of this being used in a nefarious way. Although, once the algorithm is well understood, certain 'non-well-intentioned' organizations or individuals will use this for evil instead of good. But in the meantime, how would this worry the average digital shutterbug?
For cryin' out loud. The water that we all drink today, was waste from an untold number of lifeforms that have come before us. With this device, NASA is doing in a few hours or minutes what the Earth does in about ten-thousand years. The only thing repulsive about it is its 'immediacy'.

That's all the amended filing is doing is covering all bases by looking for anyone with deep pockets who may be bankrolling Psystar.
Fifties and Sixties Civil Defense initiatives, 'Duck and Cover' isn't going to cut it.
"Why do people as Slashdot these questions..."
Because it's easier than interacting with 'real' people.
"Gas prices didn't cause the sub-prime crisis."
No they didn't. It was the rampant speculation in oil futures by the likes of Lehman and Bear Stearns to cover their losses on CDSs that drove up the price of oil and gasoline until the SEC and the Fed told them to stop doing it or be investigated.

"2. I voted for Obama."
My condolences.

was discussed this morning...which means all the funny comments were expended before the really funny article was posted.
It's actually 80% that is the magic value. Four out of five /. readers already know that.
