My point is not that the headline is more likely to be misread than read correctly (although I suspect this particular one might be), but that (c.? a.?) ambiguity can and should be avoided regardless.
Ambiguity fail.
Yeah, if you consider a person's age personal information. Which depends on the chat room.
It's been a long time since I last used IRC, but I do remember those channels where asking "asl please" was widely considered proper etiquette. Some chat rooms even expected you give your "asl" as you entered.
I assume it's still around in Windows 8, though I'm not sure if the "Pro" or whatever license of 8 gives you a free XP license.
Unfortunately, no, the XP mode is gone in Windows 8 (even Pro). Instead they suggest you use Hyper-V (which is included in W8 Pro), but that is a poor replacement. It lacks app virtualization. no XP license is included, and VMware Player is a better product anyway.
Is the invention novel and non-obvious?
If it isn't, it's not a valid patent. Period.
Apple proposes combining two or more standard ports into the physical space of a single port, allowing any one (but only one at a time) of the corresponding standard cables to be inserted into that combined port.
Yeah, just like ESATAp
... to the most accurate measuring tool I've used, because it's analog rather than digital...
FTFM
It looks like the median target of $34 which is much higher than the current price of $23.32, so you might want to consider picking some up.
They originally forecast that it would double in value on the day of the IPO.

Most analysts I read at the time suggested a "Wait-and-see" stance. A few (most of them associated with the underwriters, or otherwise with vested interests) rated the stock as a buy, but only Joe Bloggs types forecast it would double.
I occasionally wonder if they have ever thought about the fact that if cows and chickens weren't tasty, they would likely be extinct?
Probably. Either that, or they would evolve into more capable species through survival of the fittest. Those species, as well as other ones we grow only for their meat, eggs, milk and fur, were never widely spread in the wild to begin with - we created them through selective breeding.
Another question is, would it be a tragedy if they went extinct?
We've taken over massive wildlife areas to feed them and and keep them protected and confined, and in doing so, we have brought varying degrees of danger to some wild species, from displacement to total extinction. Factor in the miserable living conditions of many of those animals (not all of them, I know - I don't mean cows peacefully grazing on prairies, I mean chickens living in the dark, fed processed food and pumped full of hormones so they can lay more eggs / be delivered as food as quickly as possible), and the question becomes less easy.
Full disclosure, this is by no means a defense of PETA. I don't know enough about them to have a strong opinion, but those "defamation" accusations they are making and other stuff in the HuffPost article don't exactly portray them in a positive light in my book.
