While knowing roughly how many enemy tanks are deployed is invaluable, it doesn't grant any immediate advantage in fighting one of them.
Subtracting the cool headline that seems to imply some kind of mathematics-based anti-tank death ray, we're left with the story that "the Allies used mathematical expertise to gather and analyse intelligence", which is cool but nothing surprising.
With a massive and diverse category like a top-level domain, the only statement you can make is "56% of malicious domains are.com"
Concluding, from this, that ".com is the riskiest domain" is like saying "people with long hair are the least likely to murder you" based on how many murders are committed by people with long hair. Actually, it fails on two counts: Firstly, 56% of malicious domains end in.com because most domains do. A better measure would be the relative percentage of malicious domains for a given TLD.
Even that statistic would only say anything about "risk" if you randomly picked a domain under the.com TLD (with perfectly equal chances for each). People don't use the internet like that; they use it by following links from popular sites to other popular sites. One of those neat little obvious-in-hindsight discoveries; there was a small search engine who made it big by using that.
Why the hell would I buy a textbook for something between 50-100€ and then only read it for a few months, when any well-stocked college library would carry it?
Windows Vista sucked horribly. Windows 7 fixed some suckage with Windows Vista. But just stop this runaway train and fix all the problems, not just a few with each new Windows version.
Fixing bugs and releasing free service packs is work without profit. Releasing flashy new versions that cost hundreds of dollars, but are shoddily designed, is profitable. Make it full of bugs and people will be happy to pay for an upgrade, too.
Ubuntu has an excuse; it has a policy of not including non-free software by default. Since MacOS itself is non-free, that excuse wouldn't work for Apple.:P
So if your options are set not to display a profile field to people other than your friends, does that also mean Facebook will not use it in targeted advertising?

Maybe not that drastic, but you probably won't see the comment section under Youtube videos any more.
No worries, there are thousands of warheads; ending the world would have been no trouble at all.

I see what you did there!
Talk about a blast from the past.
You said South Korea, right?
Educated people do not believe Obama is a communist Muslim.
Who'd have thought?
Armania concurs. :P

It's going to become warmer, but won't people get wet feet when all that ice flows into the ocean?
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of that. The most popular textbooks in our library usually include a copy that can't be checked out.

That sounds great!
Close. Now get me a frigging shark.

I know. I'll buy one when hell freezes over. :P
A device that must be broken into in order to gain full control of it will never be as secure as one that is open by default.
Ubuntu has an excuse; it has a policy of not including non-free software by default. Since MacOS itself is non-free, that excuse wouldn't work for Apple. :P
Does that imply the Mac was an open platform once?

Are male nurses required to be gay?
When China calls you on it. :P
These sales CANNOT compare to the BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS of dollars he would have earned had these evil pirates not stolen his property.

Not to mention perverted.
Apparently, they teach "invest thy money in dubious internet businesses, and then sue them".
