Although Star Trek had a minor smattering of "M-class planets" -- a designation that tells one nothing of substance
Then why did you bring it up?
And actually, in universe it tells you plenty. It tells you humans and most of the other bipedial humanoid life-forms which smatter the galaxy can survive on the surface and breathe the atmosphere. It also tells you it's likely to be littered with polystyrene rocks or to look a lot like parts of California.
I'm greatly offended by this. Not the ad - well, okay, that's pretty bad - but by the fact that they used the word "Wanna".
When Microsoft's Windows 10 deadline passed, many heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Microsoft's obnoxious popup reminders had finally been laid to rest. Surprise! Microsoft's at it again
But it still is laid to rest for those who heaved a sigh of relief, because we're still on Windows 7.
Snopes, please tell us, why is the rape of a 12-year-old funny at all?
It's not. But then, she wasn't laughing about the act itself, she was laughing (somewhat hollowly, by the sound of it) about a couple of specific aspects of the proceedings.
Should we just ignore that Hillary has a rather morbid sense of humor [youtube.com]?
You probably have to to preserve your sanity, if you're going to be a criminal defence lawyer.
It's true that she may be legally correct here. But how can you defend that kind of thing morally?
That's precisely why lawyers have a professional obligation to defend their clients.
We don't know that. So far, we've got one example - carbon-based life that inhabits a planet orbiting a star of a certain type.
It's not unreasonable - at the moment - to suppose that other life might be more similar to us, and have similar requirements/prerequesites, than it is different.
The "v" is written in lower case, except when the surname is used as standalone (when the first name or initials are omitted), in which case it is capitalised, as in "de schilder Van Gogh" ("the painter Van Gogh").
We can't detect any wobble it might impart to the Sun because we're orbiting around the Sun so we wouldn't detect the shift in frequency that gives it away. And we can't detect a transit because it will never pass between us and the Sun.
And in any case, most exoplanets we've found are the heavy close-orbit ones, not the heavy distantly-orbiting ones.
Okay, so we've got the mining robots, the auto-fuelling spaceship dock, the autonomous telephone sanitizers... I can't help feeling there's something we're forgetting...

so anyone that's "triggered"
The gun that shot my paw had a trigger! That's 15 years of counselling down the drain. Thanks Obama!

What is an ad, if not a suggestion by someone for something they want you to buy/use?
How about just "on battery power" or "plugged in"?
Facebook Needs To Protect Human Rights Issue, Civil Groups Say
That headline seems to have got a bit garbled. They're not being told to protect "a human rights issue", whatever that means, but just "human rights."

No, everything is calling hell() as a function.

No-one asked. And sentences should end with full stops/periods, not commas. I think that's everything.

The story title should've read "Internet is Becoming Unreadable Because of ISP Interference".
No it shouldn't, because that's a completely different story. If it's such a big deal to you, submit it as a story.
True black on white text has a contrast ratio of 21:1 -- the maximum which can be achieved.
Is it? How come TVs keep advertising themselves with contrast ratios of 400:1 and such?

Oh! Right - people.
Hang on. Why are we sending people again?
It also means that you need to either update your system to the Linux 4.7.10 kernel release or move to a more recent kernel branch, such as Linux 4.8.
Or you could do nothing. Linux is about choice, after all.
Slashdot is clearly not getting by by just pretending everything is 7 bits, because look at the mess of the summary.

'Adding a Phone Number To Your Google Account Can Make it Less Secure'
You may think that adding a backup phone number to your account will make it prone to hack, but that is not always the case.
Well done, you've contradicted the headline in the first sentence. I assume someone accidentally a word.
Does the guy not have a mobile phone? I hear London has mobile internets and everything nowadays. It's quite the happening little village.
So self-driving cars are now a full reality and all the problems have been solved? Huh. That was quick.
