Well that would be understandable, but it doesn't seem to be what they are talking about. They went out and looked for them for six weeks and didn't find any and declared them "effectively/functionally" extinct, which doesn't seem to differ from being "just plain ole" extinct in any way. It's not a case of there will never be anymore because the ones we have now are incapable of producing anymore, it's all the ones we knew of are dead and we can't find anymore. Sounds like "extinct" to me.
TFA calls the Baiji "functionally extinct" and "effectively extinct" is there some sort of "non-functioning extinction" or "ineffective extinction"? They're either extinct, or not extinct (with a possible "believed to be extinct" and maybe even "extinct in the wild") why must people muddy things up with unnecessary qualifiers that add nothing to the facts?
Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that investors only look at long term performance with no regard to how the stock has been doing recently? Also if you're just going for the maximum data for long term performance have a look at lifetime of RHAT vs MSFT. Microsoft's stock is more stable, RedHat is volatile when it has losses they are large and long (often taking over a year to recover from) and currently RHAT is starting a downturn which MSFT is on an up swing. I'm a full time Ubuntu user by choice, but if I were to look at investment purely for the financial gain my money would be on Microsoft.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong (and will probably try even if I'm right and they're wrong) but isn't the spying program we're talking about calls that original foreignly and only terminate domestically? Based on on the criteria that the spying program is being called "domestic" all cars sold in the US would be domestic regardless of location of manufacture and assembly unless you go to a dealership in a foreign country and purchase the car there and import it, it is no longer foreign. All wines are now "domestic" it doesn't matter where the grapes are grown, fermented and bottled if the sale happens locally it is now "domestic". Money transfers from secret Swiss bank accounts are now "domestic" transactions as long as the transfer terminates in your account held with a US bank. We're talking about international phone calls that originate at a foreign country and only terminate domestically.
Now having said that, does that mean we shouldn't worry about the program? Not necessarily, you can say it's only terrorists phone calls that are being tapped into, but odds are it's more than likely it also applies to suspected terrorists and suspicion is not a very high bar to set. Additionally if you allow the government to spy on any foreign calls how long until we see certain calls being rerouted through overseas circuits so that they can be declared foreign and be subject to policies established for foreign calls. There are real issues to be looked at but throwing up a smoke screen and calling it "domestic" spying isn't the way to get to the real issues to be concerned with.
Unfortunately not all comparison of stock values are so rosy. Microsoft outperforms Redhat on the 3 month, 6 month and 1 year. Sure you can cherry pick to make it looks otherwise but unless you have a time machine Microsoft has the better performing stock.
As for the ex-lax, bugs, pubes in the cake of course none of that is true. Those things would only be possible if someone at Microsoft actually made the cake, and that's not how MS does things. They knew they couldn't make a good cake so they just went out and bought a cake from someone who already knew how to make one and then stuck their logo on it and called it theirs.
We had a similar system when I was in school ages ago, it was called carrying your lunch. Mom got to choose what you ate. If you couldn't find a trade you either ate what you had or did without.

It is 70 years, but those are decimal years. After decimal to binary marketing math and partitioning and formatting of your time it turns out to only be 57 *binary* years.
Althought I couldn't get the source to compile (then again I didn't try very hard) the prebuilt binary works fine for me on Gentoo with only one minor bit of trickery. The binary is dynamically linked against libFLAC.so.6 I had to create a link to libFLAC.so.7 to fool it but other that that I had no problems getting online and downloading a demo file.
As long as by "every way" you mean "every way *except* portable player support". Ogg may be superior in every other way, but it your player doesn't play ogg it's useless to you.
The gold is there to replace the aluminum because gold won't oxidize. Kodak used to make similar archival quality discs, I still have a few spindles of them.
I'd think if oxygen is getting to the aluminum of your disc you'd have more problems than oxidation, like the fact there would be a gap between the aluminum and the plastic. Or is the plastic they use on CD's gas permeable?
I think that's a bit unfair. We got news of this zero day exploit the 27th of December? It's still only about 10 days to produce a patch and test it. It fixes multiple versions of Windows too. IMO it didn't take too long for MS to fix it compared to the 200+ day fixes you read about regulary on eEye's site. Of course the not so good design of Windows doesn't help either. Windows is not modular so fixing something like an image processing function can impact the entire kernel, it needs extra testing.
Additionally if you check the timestamp on %WINDIR%\System32\gdi32.dll (the file fixed by Microsoft's patch) you'll see that it is dated 12/28. So we found out about the exploit on 12/27, Microsoft had it fixed the next day (assuming they didn't modify the file dates for any reason) and spent the remainder of the time testing the patch.
No, it's not. Teens aren't being subjected to anything than everyone else it. Everyone is being subjected to the same sound waves. The only difference is in general older people cannot hear them. If there were a bunch of 30 something slackers hanging outside the stores all day and not buying anything they would be the targets of the device instead of the teen. Age has nothing to do with it. Teens are being targeted because they're loitering, not because they're teens.
how, then, will it be possible to put this stuff on even older comps? is this really thought through, or am i missing some obvious point?
Isn't the obvious point you put the new gui on a machine to slow to run it which convinces the user to buy a new computer which means they buy a copy of Vista bundled?
And well before that time, President Bush had signed disaster declarations for the area. FEMA stated it was ready to go. So what's your point again?
It was announced Sunday that Bush had signed a disaster declaration. I wouldn't call that "well before" something that happened later that same day. Additionally the area the was declared a federal disaster area is 90,000 sq mi (or at least that's the number that's being reported) which is twice the size of the state of Ohio and included parts of Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana. So where exactly in that area did you want them to put the troops?
We had advanced warning (36+ hours) that this was going to happen. Where were FEMA, the NG, Homeland Security, etc?
The first forecast that put the likelihood of the eye of the hurricane passing within 65 nautical miles of New Orleans above 50% was issued by NOAA at10 PM CDT Sunday. The hurriance made landfall at about 4 AM CDT Monday morning.

Just make sure you tell them to give Google back when they're done with it, I was planning on using it later today.

Actually it was invented by Johnson & Johnson (http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/duct tape.htm). The military doesn't invent anything, they contract the private sector to develop things for them.
Did someone cut the legs off a Cuz dog toy? Well I guess the good news is if Mozilla needs a new mascot we know where they can look.

You're right the Write brothers were not the first to fly in in a powered plane.

Good old days?! Sounds like modern times, if you're running Gentoo.
