>'The T. rex has emaciated bird-like arms and stands at a 45-degree angle.' >45-degree angle
Someone has been reading really old paleontology material, or has been reading really bad children's books. Also, they apparently never saw Jurassic Park.
>I know the latest theory is dinosaurs may be related to birds
Yes, and the "latest theory" in astronomy is that the Earth "may" go around the Sun.
As for bird-like arms, maybe they were speaking more metaphorically, going off the idea that birds are small and fragile?
Of course T. rex really had arm bones as long as the arm bones of modern human but much more robust, and they probably could lift more than 400 pounds. So delicate or small (except in relation to body size) does not really apply.
Thanks, that is interesting to know. I already knew that marsupials technically have a placenta of sorts, but they are not considered placentals, and are definitely not Eutherians.
Anyway, I just wanted to make it clear what the quote was referring to.
>Well the placental mammals, like us and almost every other mammal, did not evolve until after the Asteroid event.
Wrong. There were plenty of mammals in the Mesozoic. And according to the University of California Museum of Paleontology "Eutherians first became common in central Asia during the Upper Cretaceous." Eutherians being the technically correct name for placental mammals.
>Considering the amount of SEO spam that's corrupted Google search results,
I'll admit that Google isn't as good as it used to be, but it is still very good. Very few of my searches turn up many irrelevant SEOd pages on the first page or two of results. And when you do get a lot of irrelevant results, it is usually pretty easy to filter them out.
"mammoths die out" (no quotes) gets very good results.
The wiki also has a decent, if somewhat short article on mammoths. Generally, the wiki articles you have to worry about are those on controversial (or supposedly controversial) topics.

No, we are not talking about Sodium carbonate, Sodium bicarbonate, Sodium hydroxide, or Sodium oxide
We are talking about pop, the fizzy drink.
He looks vaguely (really vaguely) like a bad drawing of a T. rex, by someone that did not know T. rex's correct posture.
Even in my earliest memories of Godzilla, I never remember thinking that he looked like T. rex.

>Git-ar
Everyone uses git nowadays, but who uses ar? ... I think .deb does.
Does this have something to do with git-buildpackage?

>As a kid I always thought that Woolly Mammoths died out around the same time as the dinosaurs
How do people ever get this idea?
Repenomamus was a Triconodont, which is its own category, not a modern marsupial or placental.

FF 3 has a number of improvements over 2 for enterprise deployment, and I believe more are planned for future releases.

open terminal
"aptitude install firefox"
or
open gui package manager
search firefox

Much better than:
open web browser

go to web site
click download link
wait for download to finish
run exe
click through installer

gentoo was never meant to be simple
I have some doubts about it producing more energy than it uses, but it could because it is not an isolated system - you keep adding trash

which is great, but if you have it, it is easier to use fromdos or todos from the tofrodos package
I guess if you like the desktop a lot...
personally I like screen for persistence, and I felt that vnc was more involved to setup vs NX.
Oh, I have a copy of memtest. And I do know that Ubuntu has it on the cd.
