Could the reason for these results be that the default search engine under IE 8 is Bing?
When using Windows I have caught myself "accidentally" using Bing simply because that is what was the default for Internet Explorer was set for.
There are surely a lot of people out there who just type in search terms in the search bar not knowing or caring what search engine the browser is set to use. That could easily account for %4.37.

Either you are yourself a Eurotrash-troll or have nothing better to do at 4:58am on the US East Coast. (1:58am on the west coast)
I've often wondered this my self. Every time scientist build a bigger telescope it means that the universe has to somehow just be bigger than they thought. Simply because they cannot build a telescope that cannot peer infinitely far into the universe doesn't mean that the universe might not be infinite or closed.
It kind of reminds me of how up to only a few years ago scientist actually wasted the energy to actually debate the existence of exoplanets simply because none had yet ever been observed.
I can only imagine that the US is trying very hard to make itself look good in the eyes of the Chinese people. There is otherwise no incentive for the US to push "freedom" in China. The last thing the US needs right now is a new wave of "free" Chinese immigrants.
All hail China for the time being. For they somehow manage to keep over one billion people in check an out MY backyard.
Not get off my lawn!
Am I the only one appalled by our government's sense of entitlement? Why should ISPs have to retain this data just to make the government's ability to snoop on citizens easier? What's next?
increasing the amount of Chinese content on the Internet will not cause it to be any more "popular" than it is now. Most non-Chinese speaking people probably wouldn't even notice the increase in Chinese language content.
How many users out there are actually in a position to actually look at the the code in open source software out there and really "fix" it? 99% of the population hasn't a clue how to "fix" "broken" software.
"historically we've had a much better record on freedom of speech than most other countries,to throw that away now so that we can preserve a dieing industry is troubling to say the least."
It isn't just being thrown away now. It's unfortunately been gone for quite some time, Comrad.
In the arcade version of the game the "ghosts" were called "monsters". They were not referred as "ghosts" until the game became available for the Atari 2600. Under the Atari 2600 version of the game they were called "ghosts" because of the way they flickered on the screen.
If Wikileaks just happens to have information regarding Russia, of which US intelligence agencies were aware, the last thing those US agencies would do is report what they know to the press especially in light of the current US diplomatic crises.
The US (or any other country for that matter) does not openly and voluntarily report details of ongoing intelligence operations.
At the risk of sounding overly pedantic I would like to point out that in English "phosphor" and "phosphorus" are not the same thing.
Taken from Wikipedia:
"phosphor, most generally, is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of luminescence."
"Phosphorus, the chemical element from the phenomenon draws its name from, emits light under certain conditions, but this is due to chemiluminescence, not phosphorescence."

The article doesn't get into specifics regarding how they determined the origin of most of Earth's water. Is there more information as to how they came to this conclusion?
The terrorists are in our own government(s). They have far more resources to use fear and scaremongering to trick the citizenry into willingly giving up their rights under the guise that some guys in caves on the other side of the world want to take those same rights away.
The US Constitution so so full of weasel phrases such as "common defence", "general Welfare" and "probable cause" that is has been reinterpreted by our government to mean absolutely anything it wants it to. The Bible and Koran have been abused in much the same way for centuries. The Constitution is no longer used to check government power but rather as a weapon against the citizenry it was originally intended to protect. The real problem isn't the implementation of these new scanners nor the alternative extremely invasive pet downs, but rather that things have gotten to this point that they have and are unlikely to improve any time soon.
"There's a 4th amendment exception around airports and borders."
I realize that this exception has been in place for a long time but the number of exceptions to the US Constitution seem to increase at an ever increasing rate and each exception can be used as a pretense for more exceptions.
Things are to a point where all of these "exceptions" are beginning negate the entire Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights, eg. "Free Speech Zones", "Stop and Frisk", warrentless wiretapping... now this. What is next on the agenda? How long will it be before we find ourselves in a police state and start asking ourselves "How did we let this happen?".

Did they crack it open to look at its core?

Would that be 20 to 100 tons of regolith relative to the Earth's or Moon's gravity?

There has been more than enough "compromise".

While setbacks are inevitable it doesn't mean that scientists should not keep trying.

East Germany used to use similar devices and ended up removing them.

Were the Borings only out for excitement?
Actually their favorite bogeyman at this time is "terrorism".
If it does exist could it also be found along side other elements in similar quantities?

If it works for the Borg why not us?

Perhaps they meant Bonsai Tree forests?
