Most predators I've seen go for the soft tissues, first. Liver, stomach, intestines, etc., muscle tissue usually eaten after it has "seasoned" a few days.
As they are looking at fossils I'm wondering how they are determining the order in which feeding took place. Perhaps T. Rex hung around such a large kill for days, feeding until it was sated or felt like getting something fresh.
They're probably copyrighted, and you'd probably get sued.
But, yes, that would be an awesome T-shirt... probably pretty popular among the paleontologists.
They'll send around their lawyers, indistinguisable from T. Rex, which will rip your head off.
Really wondering if this was the case or the bite marks were the result of battle. Once you, as T. Rex, got around those horns and had a good grip, would you risk letting go? Seems more to me like T. Rex would have bull-dogged a Triceratops, attempt to break its neck or get it in a position of asphyxiation, unable to breath through a twisted windpipe.
But I'm just a software developer, what do I know.
I'm wonder why anyone would even bother putting a telescope on the planet at this point
It's cheaper.
Further, with corrective optics they get amazing results. I'm a member of the Santa Cruz Astronomy Club and we have been lucky enough to have some great speakers come in from US Santa Cruz (who manage some large earthbound telescopes, including Keck on Mauna Kea, Hawaii) Directing a laser into the atmosphere allows them to correct a high percentage of anomalies, obtaining some much improved results over non-adaptive optics. This technology has given new life to old optical scopes, further cost far less than adding yet another spaceborne scope, which may lauch correctly, may deploy correctly and may work for a sufficient amount of time to justify the costs of everything, including the team using it. UCSC also does some amazing work with mirrors, polishing to molecular uniformity and applying coatings a molecule in thickness. Amazing stuff.
You'd know it was too late if your spirit was watching your body being irradiated and distorted by the intense magnetic (and other radiation) fields and gravity. You'd be rather amazed while the chap in black, with the scythe rode up on his white horse, Binky and said YOU DON'T SEE THAT EVERY DAY. FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY.
How about actually trying to get work done without the operating system changing in behavior on you, inexplicably losing data in applications because some requester popped up when you were exiting and intended to save, have the keystroke stolen and then the app exits without saving. Dumb crap like that. Also, less nagging, just shut up and let me do my work.
They were found guilty not primarily for failing to predict the earthquake, but for releasing a statement saying there was probably not going to be one. They are accused of giving people a false sense of security resulting in them not taking necessary precautions.
Now how about trying the survivors for being gullible and stupid.
The iPhone, whizzy as it was, had a massive initial price tag. I blanched at it and stuck with a less whizzy phone. I'm not sorry I did. Now I have the money to buy any smart phone I choose, but I'll still not spring for one more expensive than I want. Same goes for pads - Android rules the roost for the budget minded and will ultimately dictate the market through shear numbers -- same way cloned DOS PCs dictated the way of the present desktop. Microsoft, again, do not know their own history and how they got where they are today.
Hospitals are notorious this this kind of IT stupidity.
Most institutions are, including the financial sector, government, schools as well as millions of homes.
Back when Windows 95 rolled out Microsoft was incredibly naive. Where for decades mainframe operating systems were hardened against attacks, Microsoft failed to learn from those experienced in the field and some clever lads found they could manipulate financial software remotely, thanks to a complete lack of security with ActiveX. Shocking. For over a decade Windows continued to be loaded with security holes and a lack of internal checks to ensure software should be allowed to do things it was. Where we had process monitoring applications on RSTS and *nix systems, there was no means to track what was going on, particularly with DLLs on your desktop or laptop Windows system. Yet Windows attempted to be able to do everything and uneducated users (for who is truly educated where a home computer is concerned?) trusted it to be a good steward of their data and other assets. Meanwhile good Bill Gates and Chair-tosser Steve Ballmer were plotting next conquests and becoming fabulously wealthy. Honestly, should anyone be surprised? A good bet would have been requiring a standard operating system, a good clean one, for medical systems as life depends upon them. Nope, everyone gets cheap - use Windows and commodity hardware.
They really should include a warning that the healthcare facility may have information of a personal nature about you on Windows or that the maching going 'Bing' which keeps you alive may also and you accept these risks and relieve them of responsibility when it all goes to pot.

That's got to be the funniest thing I've ever read on/. Seriously, it sounds like something from an Onion story.

This should be easy, no?
1) Procure working torque wrench of sufficient size and strength.
2) *use* the damned thing next time.
I mean, really - not even one page of paper for the summary.
Wrong tool.
These are Engineers .
If the BFH you used didn't work, get a bigger one.
I was leaning more towards "Step three: nibble on the soft flesh of Triceratops' face."
Step 5: T. Rex throws the carcass on a grill, pulls out a few brews and throws a BBQ party.
The end that's closer to your mouth!

No way they keep that thing clean and polished for 10 years... some jerk is gonna walk over there and wipe his finger on it. guaranteed
No problem if a jerk does, there's an easy way to clean it - First Contact
Spray on, dry, peel off.
Used by NASA and JPL.
FOo
Oh shit, the infinite improbability drive is on the fritz again.
Someone just tipped the waiter a penny aboard The Bistromath.
Isn't it already too late?

Misguided sense of superiority is missing.

After all, that was their core competency.
That's where Samsung have them beaten - they started out making food, including noodles.
GestSure? Gesture? More like "Guessed? Sure!" Am I right? High five gesture!
The gestures and language I use when trying to get things done in windows aren't for children to see or hear.
All these stupid bells and whistles I usually leave out of Linux builds as I never need them and it's just more bloat.
Whoa whoa whoa, are you actually insinuating that the Italian goverment is corrupt? How dare you sir
For a nominal fee to a certain benevolent society, the insinuation could be overlooked.

Well, we'll just see about that! Watson, the laser tweezers!
'use Windows and commodity hardware', and charge premium prices.
Or they use the cheap hardware and software to keep your medical bill down, glass half full/half empty sort of thing, possibly?
Oddly enough, it seems like this would make them less vulnerable. How much malware out there still targets or can affect Windows 98?
Buckets. There's still tens of millions of people running it because they didn't see a need to upgrade and their present hardware is still running.

The seem to be all fine and dandy with it ... as if there's nobody else out there who would dream of having extremely poor business practices.
Actually, BT is probably in bed with the current government
