"Statistics tell us we shouldn't have found something this quickly this soon unless there's a lot of them out there," [Steven Vogt, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz] said. "This tells us there must be an awful lot of these planets out there."
I don't know what's worse, his grasp of statistics, or... no, wait, that's about as bad as it gets.
Please tell me that Vogt is some kind of PR Scientician, not an actual, real, bona fide astronomer.
My theory is that it's a very small shell script. We should use it to replace one of the legacy "editor" scripts, it's not even remotely credible that they're really humans.
Elephants are rapists and rhinos are racists (white, black, can't you guys get along?). But srsly, they're just bigger cows, they're not some magical spirit totem beasts. The world will keep turning without them; there's nothing inherently meritorious about the particular crop of megafauna that we've got right now.
They have a limited initial run of devices, half of which will be defective in some way, and the returns will kill them off before they ever get a chance to ship in volume. 3 months and we'll be reading about how it all went wrong, and the lessons they learned.
You don't need to rob Peter to incentivise Paul - all that means is that Pat at the IRS takes a cut too. Just cut the red tape that binds us, cut the number of government parasites that feed off of the body corporate, and we'll take care of the rest.
The defendant commercially used the original without licensing it from the plaintiff
Slight correction, the defendant did license the original, the dispute that led to them commissioning their own version was simply about how much they owed.
This decision is based on the very specific circumstances of the case, and if any of us been in the situation of the plaintiff we'd be utterly convinced that we'd been ripped off in the most shoddy, tawdry fashion. The only real question is whether the law has the intent to protect creators from that most sincere form of flattery.
To ply the old legal saw, perhaps the judge can't define infringement, but he knew it when he saw it.
...forcing regular people in cars to waste fuel by braking and accelerating to get around your random wobbling progress, hopping pavements and shooting red lights, and having 3 showers a day.
Mostly agree, but the market for used hybrids (at least in the US) remains strong, and I don't expect plug-ins to be different in the short to mid term.
The Smug Poor want to flaunt their eco-credentials nearly as much as the Smug Rich, and it'll take a while before everyone knows someone whose cousin bought one of those damn electronical cars which then crapped its $7K battery all over the floor the next month.
Of course, in civilised nations, if we want "eco", we buy a small turbodiesel returning 88 of Her Brittanic Majesty's Miles per Greenwich Gallon on either DERV or chip fat (or 73mpg in Colonial jibber-speak), and that isn't packed full of rare earths that have been strip mined by Chinese orphans, or powered by a coal fired power plant in the next valley.
Eco isn't just about tailpipe emissions, but it'll be a long, hard slog to convince the 'mentals of that.
You are so obviously such a manly and doubtless beardly frontier-type heterosexual that it would never even enter my head to wonder if your pathological need to festoon yourself with long, penetrative objects is a bid to compensate for or repress something. Ever.
Then man up and use it. For a chap whose life seems to consist of getting FRIST POTST on every second Slashdot story, you seem unduly concerned about what people might think of you.
Thanks to an admin with foresight (and an epic beard) back in The Day, all of our corporate machines have public IP4 addresses in our meaty netblock.
Of course, because said admin wasn't an utterly incompetent retard, none of them are publicly accessible by default. If you need access, you can ask, and the runes are cast.
So, in practice, not much different from NAT access to private IPs.

Testify! I was poised to buy the Dead Space bundle when I scrolled down and read "This game requires an internet connection and... [anal lube]". No. No. It's not going to happen. I'll go without, or get it elsewhere.
Well, one, you're a FRIST POTSING Slashtard - watch the video.
And two, their real mistake is building demand before they can supply it. You get one big wave of free publicity and enthusiasm. By the time this thing is actually available in significant numbers, it may already have saturated the market of hard core basement dwellers, and us merely Pi-curious types will be at the "Big fat meh, that vapourware again?" stage.
Mmm, they're probably unclear on what "lobbying" really means. Like, you can say you're an "escort", but it's just a fancy word for disease ridden whore.
If you have to keep your employees in line with threats and monitoring, then your primary problem is with the people who gave them the job in the first place.
Perhaps the TSA shouldn't have just settled for the least-bad applicants who bothered to show up.

Oh, you'll laugh about it, until you meet one. You'll sense it, deep in your brainstem, that you're prey.
Surely they can just claim to have ripped the design off directly from Star Trek: TNG, like Apple did?

Oh, sure, they're pretty decent devices and from what I hear, both of their owners are happy with them.

And mermaids. You ever had sex with a mermaid? Blows your mind, man. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to do a live one.
I heard that Kathleen is pretty flexible in that departme- noooooooooooooooooooooooo! [EOT]

Project Thor, it's hardly rocket science. I mean, it is rocket science, but it's not brain surgery. Unless they hit you in the head.
