While it was not (yet) as bad as The Sun when I left the UK in 2002, the Daily Mail was a strident, hysterical, sensationalist muckracking journal well on its way to parity. I would believe maybe 15-20% of what is reported here as "fact". The paper also carries a political/social agenda on just about everything, and I suspect very strongly that we are seeing an extremely distorted story that is being "economical with the truth".
So, if -- and that's a VERY big if -- everything reported is true I deplore it, but I have serious doubts as to whether the story is at all objective.
If the Mail was looking for a reaction, I'm sure it got what it was after.
It's interesting that Google News and Google proper only carry two reports of this, and there is no mention on the BBC web site (as of 21.38 PDT).
This has all the hallmarks of a carefully manufactured and groomed story deisgned to garner publicty and web page impressions.
Mod parent up. This just cash-generating pabulum. A post lower down asks why the editirs don't learn. The answer is that they know already. There must be some advantage to them in continuing to post his shit.
Not very often, but people STILL listen to them. This is just so much bullshit. Consumers have high hopes for Conroe? More bullshit. Most of the people who will/may buy one don't even know what it is.
This is just so much crap by people wanting to ride the gravy train, and people who want to be able to point to analysts' reports because they are afraid of being accused of making a wrong decision.
The relationship between analysts and people who pay for their conclusions is like mutual masturbation...
but I've yet to see her do anything important Err, Groklaw? (BTW, that is the correct name of the site I think you are talking about: if you mean another site called "Growlaw" that is also run by PJ, then accept my apologies...)
I'm assuming they mean canopic jars. Coptic is a term for orthodox Egyptian Christians, derived from Aegyptos (Greek for Egyptian). Copticism was considered a heresy for a long time, but *LOTS* of the early Copts were *VERY* influential in what became the Catholic church. Also, for some reason, a lot of Egyptian politicians are/were Copts too. See http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Coptic_Christ ianity or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_Christianity.

Zoidberg: All 6000 hulls have been breached!
[Fry falls to his knees.]
Fry: Oh, the fools! If only they'd built it with 6001 hulls! When will they learn?
Apologies: Miller's article refutes the argument from irreducible complexity, not personal incredulity: the latter hardly needs refuting.
This is called the argument from personal incredulity, and is a favourite of the IDers. See http://www.millerandlevine.com/km/evol/design2/art icle.html for an excellent example of how this argument fails spectacularly with the nature-evolved wheel, the eubacterial flagellum.

Do us a favour: post the link to TFA at linux.com, not just the link to a single paragraph at "News"forge.
It's no good, anyway: you get too many bum notes...
Actually, SprawlMart are present in the UK supermarket sector already: they own Asda. Which is why I will no longer shop at Asda.
