What is the big problem with using the word "and" in a headline? It's the internet. You're not paying per byte and you don't have a fixed width to squeeze your headline into.
Throw off the shackles of your printed media forebears!
Oh good lord, the shock of it all, that a business would increase prices when demand is greatest.
"Star Wars is, for lack of a better word awesome," said Harrison Ford. "I'm so blessed that I had the opportunity to be a part of it. To walk in these iconic locations. And soon, you'll be able to do that as well. Not in a galaxy far, far away, but in a place close to home."
Said Harrison Ford, or said some guy in marketing?
Rubio, Cruz Try To Kill Neutrality On 1 Year Rule Anniversary
Slashdot, using commas in place of the word "and" is a stupid, pointless tradition, and in this case it looks like you're tweeting Rubio to warn him about Cruz's plan (in bad English).
After Miami resident, Claudia Castillo, noticed a cop speeding down the freeway
In cases like this, when you use commas to add further identification or distinction, you should be able to remove what's between the commas and still have it make sense:

Program is time-limited -- it will stop functioning after 60 days. You can always download the latest version from makemkv.com that will reset the expiration date.... Blu-ray and DVD discs are fully supported....

It just means that our kind of solar-energy driven carbon-chemistry in water based life is likely to occur only once.
How did you infer all that? As far I can tell, all the article seems to state is there should be no planets "like Earth" - without actually defining what "like Earth" means.
It certainly doesn't say anything specific about life at all.
The computer simulation came up with exactly one Earth
Indeed, strictly speaking, Earth itself should not exist, according to the computer model
Well which is it? Either the simulation came up with exactly one Earth, or it didn't. From my reading of the article, the suggestion that "the simulation came up with exactly one Earth" is incorrect, which suggests to me they've just been too strict with deciding what constitutes an "Earth."
If you mean a planet exactly like ours, to the molecule, then no, there is very very unlikely to be another. Widen the window and you can decide to find as many "Earths" as you want.

Mars Rover Code Used For Cyber-Espionage Malware
Hey, whipslash, where are you? This is the kind of shitty misleading click-bait none of us want to see.
Then, unbeknownst to the subjects, the researchers filled the hallway with smoke and set off the fire alarms.
That's a pretty poor fire alarm if the subjects didn't (be)know(st) it had been set off.

Even if the user discovers it, it's still extremely hard to turn off.
Why? Does it continue to draw energy from the ether after you unplug it?

Nope.
I have a vague recollection of some mathematical link being postulated between rogue waves and some aspects of quantum mechanics.
Anyone know what that might have been?

...what?
if we extrapolate backwards, we can find that early Earth had a day that lasted just 6.5 hours.
How simplistic is such a backwards extrapolation?

It's widely believed Mars once had life.
Is it? Widely hoped, perhaps, but I wouldn't even say it's widely suspected, let alone believed.
How would they decide which errors to fix, and which mistakes to correct?

Works.

I've been using it for years. Every now and then it tells me it's too old, but I just download the new version, reinstall it and it's back.
That might change one day, but until then it's a perfectly good solution.
