Technically, it's not a semantic flame, it's a lack of understanding on your part flame. There's this thing called sarcasm. Until you understand that things can mean the opposite of what you would expect, this will baffle you.
Just to help you out: Little John was the largest of the Merry Men, Fat chance means hardly any chance at all, and you speak English very well...
So yeah, the flu vaccine you get may not necessarily protect you. Indeed, in any given year there's a significant chance (something like 30%) that they'll guess wrong and put the wrong strain in the vaccine, and it won't protect anybody. But 70% of the time it does protect, and that's worth the 30% of the time when it doesn't.
But you're ignoring one of the points of the article. There isn't a difference in death rates in those years. Think about it...it's the wrong vaccine, but the same number of people die as in the years where it's the correct vaccine. Shouldn't the rate jump up higher?
250 pounds? (That's 113 Kg for everyone else.) Bah! In Europe, they use cargo bikes for delivering all sorts of heavy loads such as furniture. I've seen advertisements for front-loader trikes that carry 500 pounds...that's on top of a bike that is likely to weigh 60 to 70 pounds itself.
I don't know, perhaps because if you can't run it on Windows, it won't do the military any good? It doesn't matter if you like Microsoft or not; the military doesn't care. They use Windows, thus they want Microsoft buy-in, end of story.
Yes, but it's better than the usual Slashdot editor practice of mangling the submission to something almost entirely different in order to get everyone spun up that we're used to seeing.
Don't believe everything you read. Without going over the contracts that Edwyn signed with a fine-toothed comb, all we have is someone claiming that they believe the labels are in the wrong. This may be correct, it may be incorrect, it may be in some legal limbo where both parties have certain rights to the song. We don't know.
Except that the atmosphere isn't a smooth medium; 100,000 ft. is still inside the stratosphere. To go to 100 Km, you're going through the stratopause (the boundary between the stratosphere and mesosphere) and the mesopause (the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere.) All three layers have different characteristics as far as temperature and circulation.
When it's proprietary software, management will be too busy handing out assignments to add new sales fodder, excuse me, features to worry about actually doing anything proactive to improve the code base. Having a slimmed-down code base may be good in the long run, but doesn't do anything towards getting the next bonus.
DOS? MS-DOS? Try HP 2000 ACCESS BASIC. I'm sorry, but if the game doesn't involve wasting most of a roll of yellow paper and the loud clatter of a teletype, it's not OLD.
Why? If your management complains, point out that it's classified as PG (Parental Guidance) and thus must be safe for work. After all, who knows better, your boss or the Aussies?
I don't know which sport you're talking about but in the NFL the guy with no pro experience makes a minimum of $310,000. The NBA is $457,000.
And Major League Baseball is $400,000. Hell, the minimum for someone with any experience in the Minors is $65,000.
I'm not saying this is actually a valid legal point, but... Don't forget the Penny Arcade "American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake" comic situation, where PA was making fun of American McGee's Alice. Despite being a parody of the grim nature of the game, it didn't give them the right to use a third party's copyrighted characters for the parody. (Or, at least, the company didn't think it did and PA didn't fight it in court.) In much the same way, despite being a parody of the Time magazine cover, it doesn't give the artist the right to use the Joker's likeness. This--not the Time cover but rather the Warner (or DC) copyright--may be what made Flickr pull the plug.
From Wikipedia, "The Oort cloud is a hypothetical spherical cloud of comets which may lie roughly 50,000 AU, or nearly a light-year, from the Sun." So...um...how do you miss it? You go straight out in any direction. When you see a lot of icy chunks floating around, you're there.
<Flamebait>I know that nobody reads the stories, but...Would it be too much to ask for a single link that leads to the story in the portion that shows on the front page? The brief blurb has no link, but the full story has so many (and mainly pointless) links that it's impossible to find it. Unless there isn't a story and this is just random blathering.</Flamebait>
The surprise isn't that Microsoft is doing it, but rather that cio.com is the one calling them on it--a site aimed at upper management. This isn't fanboy-complaining, but business-complaining, something that will hit acceptance of Bing in the corporate environment.
He's made the world a better place. Now anybody who claims to be suffering from this fake malady can be told to shut up with "Oh, that's a fake disease from an old PR stunt."
You have to remember, people were already claiming to suffer from it; it's already in the 'common knowledge' bin. He's brought nothing new to the table as far as claims go.

Why rush? After 4.4 million years, what's a decade or two?
All I can say is "You bastards! You murdered a car with tail fins! Have you no heart?

Now get off my mock-up of the Bridge set.
They knew the camera was there, but they were too overcome with joy that the copier wasn't constantly broken to care.

But then they'd have to invest in suntan lotion. You can't have excessive sunlight ruining that pale gray skin tone.
Like to a recycling center to turn it in to more plastic instead of drilling for even more oil?

The judge today issued a warrant for "I. C. Wiener" of 405 West 43rd Street to appear in court.
