So what they're really saying is, is that it's more likely to happen in 10 billion years (+/- a billion years) than it is in the next thousand years (+/- a hundred years). But no more likely to happen on Tuesday 29th September in the year 10,000,000,000 than in on Thursday 21st of Feburary 2013.
Windows 7 Still Being Sold On Up To 93% of British PCs
Good old "up to" - how many times have those two little words helped someone weasel out of a corner, or pull in punters from off the street.
PC Pro spoke to several PC builders, with some reporting as many as 93% of recently sold machines were on the older OS
"Some" is most likely journo-speak for "one." And it's probably one that caters to the hardened geek/gamer crowd, both of whom are going to be avoiding 8 for a while yet.
Calm down a bit before you got mental at others. The GP's statement that
A petard is an explosive but it's not like a hand grenade at all.
Except for them both being portable explosives? Sure, the GP could've picked a closer match from the modern arsenal, but not one that most people would be more familiar with than hand grenades.
The best HTML5 game was Big Island, written in Dart and playable directly from Github
Oh? How? The Big Island page has a non-clickable link (!) to the repository page, which you then have to scroll down to the bottom of . There, there are three options, and I presume the "Easy way" is meant to be the directly playable one, since there's nothing else to download according to the instructions. Click on it, however, and all I get is a black page. Does it require Chrome?
you'd have noticed hyperlinks to the detailed structures for each virus, such as the PDB entry 2PLV for poliovirus whose structure was determined in 1989...
Again though:
This is the first time Level 3 pathogens have been imaged in this way.
The Slashdot story isn't "we've determined the structure of a virus" - it's "we've got a new way of taking its picture."
It's a 45% increase. For example, previously 2 people out of every 1000 (or even 100,000) may have died. Now, it's 3 out of a 1000 (or even 100,000). Still sure that someone would have noticed?
Nice bit of copying and pasting there, Mr. Submitter. I mean, the "Bam!" is dumb enough in the article, but at least it's an exclamation at the presentation of the map. Copied and pasted like that it just looks stupid.
If journalism is now just "a form of entertainment" then as a democracy where people are trying to make decent decisions about their government and what corporations they interact with we're in DEEP SHIT.

And what if two sites are connected only to each other? Or fifty?
You said "up yours", *snigger*
I hope GP isn't a blind black guy with a screen reader.

If one rig can produce enough to "make" $50 million a day, then the retail price is far too high.
How would you go about working out what a reasonable figure is?
U.S. government has receives grade of "C-"
Which is what I'm giving you for English.

My hovercraft is full of eels. Purple monkey dishwasher.
We were managing just fine without a superhero movie every week for about 100,000 years.
Look it up before you educate others.

Yes I would, Kent.

the way that we went about it didn't allow us to get the leadership, so it's clearly a mistake.
Yup. Better not take any risks ever again.

What, on the page you linked to, contradicts this? It doesn't even seem to be about imaging.
I am not expert, but it is possible that the current find is the ancestor of a whale that was transitional to modern day whales.
Did you mean "descendant"?

One is guilty, the other is accessory. Both are obstructing justice.

Perhaps then bill each of them for half the cost, for not cooperating.
Who says the innocent one isn't cooperating?
"Jobs's" is perfectly (if not more) valid.
Seems like you should be consistent one way or the other.
Seems like you should shut yer yap! ;)

Is that Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck you'd be thinking of?

He took the visor out of choice, because it provided him with vision in some ways superior to natural which he considered made him a better engineer.
And nothing to do with the fact that he could switch to millimeter waves whenever Ensign Lefler walked by.
