It was not immediately clear why the 1957 pandemic strain, which killed between 1 million and 4 million people -- was in the proficiency test kits routinely sent to labs.
You'd have to be pretty freaking proficient to kill it, I guess, so it's a good test.
Or... we could use our reading skills like a big boy and read the spec the page links to. There, we would find useful things like "This is Draft version 1.3 of the Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) spec" at the beginning of the first sentence.
I once was outside when it was -87 F (-66 C) with the wind chill
Yeah, but the current wind chill scale is utter bullcrap. It's just plain wrong because it was designed under the assumption that water and skin have identical heat transfer properties.
"...one issue that bugs them such as gun control or abortions, while being unable to understand that there's far more important issues at stake in our country, such as the economy..."
Killing babies is LESS IMPORTANT than the fucking economy!?!? You can't buy a new computer, so we better fix that before we fix those darn annoying dead children, is that it?
He meant the GNOME install is going to be 300 MB larger even though he doesn't want the extra features. He's not going to be using it to store several GB of thumbnails and tags.
They don't want him dead, that's not the point of a death threat. You issue death threats so people will stop $ACTIVITY and only kill them if they refuse.
Proxies are analogous to Caller ID block, where you have no idea where the connection is from. This service is more like spoofing your IP address to something else on your class C network and using promiscuous mode to sniff the traffic coming back.
It'll make the phone companies fix the problems with their systems. People shouldn't be able to do this, and nobody will be happy about it, so the phone companies will be pressured to fix it.

If you're trying to lengthen words to sound smarter, you might want to do it properly. You add -ly to adjectives, not nouns.
Call it pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It makes you sound smarter.

One who candles eggs... duh...
data vs. position, I would think.
Technically, they left all the pies. The current crew's diet was heavy on sweets and candy.
Yes, they are, thank you for asking.
Aw crap, no formatting in the parent. Let's try again:
sales + rentals = $22 billion
theaters = $9 billion
even if rentals are only half of (sales + rentals), they still win.

In america, these, days? Probably, about the, same.

On the "watching grass grow" page: what a time to confuse "drought" with "draught". Unless, of course, Colorado had a fairly serious amount of beer...

Please finish the sentence: Someone would care about credibility among stupid people like PHBs because...

Entirely about news, then.

Well, the story, you'll recall, is that Mozilla usage doubled in 9 months.

No matter what the Caller ID says, people aren't going to automatically pay their bills just because they hear "give us our money!" on the phone.
