Australia's military budget is larger in dollar terms than Iran's... I guess that means that Australia is a bigger threat than Iran. (Yes, I'm being facetious).
The key question is, what sort of monkey?:) On the serious side, it may indicate their current launch capacity, There's a big difference between a capuchin and a chimp. Yes I know a chimp is an ape, but in common usage they're frequently referred to as a monkey.
Hooray, someone actually read the article and *didn't* fail the comprehension test. Most comments that I've seen so far show that supposedly intelligent people don't understand that you should read an article and understand it before commenting. (Not a troll, please read my previous comments on this story before modding... although this may be a sad reflection on the current state of/.)
Actually the article suggested that despite the mutations, environmental factors (malnutrition etc) had a greater influence on the outcome of infection.
OK, I want to say RTFA... but I doubt it would help. The article indicates that other factors were in play, like malnutrition and poor living conditions. It's effectively indicating that with only 97 'units' of DNA out of 4.6 million altered/mutated/changed since the 'original' Black Death that environmental factors had a far greater influence than has been acknowledged previously. It *is* a bacterium, it *is* relatively easy to combat with anti-biotics.
Ah, that may explain it. If so, my comments below can be ignored. Instead, I'll say that this seems to be an over-reaction from both Spamhaus and A2B. Spamhaus for blacklisting, A2B for involving police when it seems unneccesary.
A little explanation from previous experience, Spamhaus don't seem to usually make frivolous complaints, so I'm assuming that their initial complaint was valid even though A2B denies it.
I'm not particularly sure who's more nuts. Spamhaus for over-reacting, or A2B for being a-holes and ignoring the initial complaint. Both seem to have handled this poorly.
Is this primarily an attempt to educate, a crowd-sourcing initiative or just eye candy? I'm interested, but I can't fully comprehend the ultimate purpose. (Admittedly, I may be over-simplifying, it may be all of these and more).
They did a kids album, I bought it for my niece when she was 13 in the hopes that she would appreciate good music. She's now 18 and an Emo.....DON'T DO IT, 'TMBG' have potentially turned my niece into an emo!
I'm waiting for the seemingly inevitable complaints that this is another Australian story. Without trying to gloat, face it/. Australia is a haven for geek news.

Ah wait, no. It's redirecting me to the *.com.au subdomain.
The article has already been slashdotted for me, so I can't check.

That was what I was expecting, a potentially bad translation or a lack of distinction in the original language (Farsi?).
I normally would RTFA first, but it appears that TFA is on a broken link.

I am intrigued by your thoughts and would like to subscribe to your newsletter (or your A.I.s drug supplier).
Because you don't know what they are protesting.

That just gave me the idea for a "I'm Getting Shot!" app.
Which you'll need to use shortly after abruptly reaching into your pocket and pulling out an object, while in the middle of being arrested.

There was sexual assault involved? Opps, sorry... that was Vince.
So what's the ultimate efficiency? What percentage? Is it better than existing tech?
More capable, I believe. Samsung Galaxy. However my provider sucks at Android support. (Aussies, stay away from Optus).
By 'same for me', I mean the app appears unavailable here. Sorry, you made a few statements there and I thought I'd should qualify which one. :)
Same for me. Although I'm in Australia and some of our providers (including mine) block large sections of the Android market. A-holes.
I didn't say I don't like it, I'm just curious as to 'why'?

+1 Informative? I would've thought it was Insightful, but to each their own.
