I agree. Likening it to open source is nonesense too - typical slashdot distortion. If I copy your linux software, you still have yours. Not so with a physical object.
Score one point for every time that you used "it's" where it wouldn't make sense if you replaced it with either "it is" or "it has". Divide your (you'd probably write "you're") score by three, multiply by 100 and that is your 'tard factor as a percentage.
Science offers a brief synopsis and fascinating pictures of the phenomenon.
As they say in France, oppsite water. Or as they say in English, no it fucking well doesn't. Nice to see that when michael 'left', Hemos (with a silent exual) stepped up to the plate and batted like a true cretinous fucktard.
The report says that "25.2% [of bots] are located in the UK", not that 25.2% of UK computers are bots.
The figures seemed crazy to me so I read TFOA on the assumption that some/. muppet had misunderstood, but it seems they hadn't. Must have been some other muppet...
Even if the cretin who posted the story doesn't understand German, he should have seen that the translation was terrible: it didn't even make grammatical sense [1]. I suspect that neither he nor the "editor" even read it.
Personally, I don't think automated translation is ready for prime time, I'd rather they didn't use it at all.
[1] That's assuming he understands English. If he doesn't, maybe he should find some humility and wake up to the fact that writing in a foreign language is harder than it looks.
Fair enough, but nice of the author to explain what it does mean. Not everybody lives in the US, FFS. Yes, I did read TFA, and I know it's Cananda, I assume they use the same system; if they didn't they would have explained it.
a trojan moon. It sits in a spot near a larger moon where the gravitational pull of the other moon (Dione here) and the planet cancel each other out
A trojan doesn't "sit" anywhwere. What's more, it's elementary calculus to work out that a point where gravitation pulls cancel out is unstable; any perturbation towards one object will, by the inverse square law, increase the attraction to that object, thus moving it even closer.

Like /.'s (and michael sims' - har har) favourite plagiarist Roland Piquepaille, you mean?
What's Hemos' excuse, though?
He'd be a billion times better if he'd fuck off too.
[1] And while we're at it, customer's what? You appear to have left out the name of the mysterious thing that belongs to the customer.
It's one thing the goons who submit stories being semi-literate, but do these spaztard editors even bother to proofread anything?
And from timothy too, the new michael sims. I think my irony circuit is overloading.
I saw this on TV last year, FFS.
Because he knows everybody hates subscription-only links?

For a start, you missed off The Economist and The Register.
Michael used to be the worst offender, but ironically it's got worse since he ... er ... left.

And the first sentence says: "There are a multitude of books, tools, and educational programs that deal with managing development projects."
Am I the only one who thinks that development projects and operations are so different that they're mutually exclusive?
Indeed, one definition of a project I heard is anything that isn't operations.
What are you smoking? (and where can I get some?)98 out of 800,000 is a very small minority.
