Remember folks: Dark Mater is a THEORETICAL stuff that weighs a lot or is all over the place to explain why entire solar systems don't fly out of the Galaxy as they spin.
Yes, we know. Who said it wasn't theoretical? In case you missed the first three words of the summary: "Theoretical physicists propose..."
What if there was no Dark matter and Gravity could distorts time in a way that would explain it all.
Ah, I see how you've got confused, but no, because what I was doing there was deliberately overstating the problem for comic effect and to draw attention to the admittedly tenuous irony inherent in your post.
First, let's just cover the fact that it wouldn't quite work this way in the real world. You don't tend to have species A living at the same time as species B which evolved from it. What you usually get is the common ancestor, species A, which is by now extinct, and it's two descendant species, B and C. You occasionally get people scoffing that we couldn't have evolved from chimps; well, we didn't.
So, why do we only have LittleAss ants and BigAss ants, and no NiceAss ants? Well, in this simplistic example, it's probably because they've evolved to occupy two different ecological niches, and are no longer competing with each other. Any species too "close" to another would find itself competing, which hinders both species in the fight for survival - until one of them wins.
A real-world is the Neanderthals. We out-competed them, in our shared ecological niche, with our higher intelligence and smokin' bods. The chimps, meanwhile, were settled in the forests where we weren't, and thus didn't have to compete with us.
In actual fact, you sometimes do get lots of closely related, or even inter-breeding, species spread out geographically. There's an oft-cited examples involving geckos, I believe, where you have a species living, say, at the Southern point of a mountain range which then evolves as it spreads North, around both the Eastern and Western sides of the mountain range. What you end up with is two trails of closely related species, which may interbreed with their neighbours, but at the Northern end of the mountain range the two species which find themselves meeting up are so divergent that they can't interbreed.

Should the Imperial Navy gave told the US Navy they were coming in 1941?
Well, kinda, yeah.
Who needs line of sight?
Yes, there is, your smug sense of self-superiority in having disabled the same notwithstanding.
"Having Flash disabled," much like "knowing what RMS stands for," are not actually mandatory for being allowed to read Slashdot.
There's an auto-playing video embedded in the linked article's page - just in case you hate that sort of thing.

(admittedly, one medical gadget from one film isn't much to base such a comparison on - McCoy's tricorder would have been a better one)
No-one said it was an acronym.
Did you have to say "collaborate"?
And I thought people that ran kitten.scr.exe were idiots.
What a bunch of morons. I checked, Windows says I only have kitten.scr so I'm safe.
Dear Alice,
Eve keeps listening in on my conversations. What can I do to make her stop?
Thanks,

Here's a perfect opportunity to get girls interested in computing.
Why? Is there some target we have to reach as a society?

Aaand what if gravity doesn't do that?
He had a hidden agenda.
Naw, he was definitely a dude. No secret.
Their attack ... reduced errors from previous methodologies more than 3 ½ times.
There has got to be a clearer way of saying that. Do they mean "to less than 28%?"

A group of grad students and postdocs in Minnesota decided to address the issue had-on.
Well, that typo could've been worse.

There's at least one other Satoshi Nakamoto in the world, so it's not more likely to be this one on that basis.
I thought (okay, assumed) that everything in the viewable catalogue was watermarked.
Just because they've acknowledged it, doesn't mean it's not worth pointing how dumb it seems.

I found switching large photographs on my site from png to jpeg led to a noticeable loadtime increase.

Nope. Still down. That's according to the Police, the British Crime Survey, and hospital records.

Nothing at all.
