That's assuming we still have a deadlocked court by next session. This still has to work its way through the appellate courts, and that will take another year, at least. So that means SCOTUS wouldn't hear the petition until at least the 2017-2018 docket, and I pray we have a full court by that point at least.
Well, one court circuit has created the precedent that APIs are copyrightable. That's not to say that same judgement applies in any other by default, you could still press the argument in another court (albeit with an uphill battle) that APIs can't be copyrighted. Two contradictory decisions can occur simultaneously in different circuits, it's how many of the social issues SCOTUS has dealt with lately have come to them. And that's probably where it would lead, to the Supreme Court, who would rule once and for all.
We know they exist, they were the answer to a New York Times crossword puzzle. Or at least, those were the sequence of letters that fit the space and made sense.
What? Since when is science a court of law? New scientific hypotheses aren't assumed to be false before they're proven true, the assumption depends on the experiment and background knowledge (and perhaps the gumption of the experimenter). New scientific theories aren't assumed false before they're proven true, nor are scientific laws assumed to be false before you can point to something and say, 'aha! it is true after all!' To become a theory or law in the first place requires many observations or calculations of an aspect of our universe, and then also ensuring that these results don't come about by some other means.
But all of this is subject to new ideas and new interpretations. It used to be thought true that the atom was the smallest particle in the universe. It used to be thought true that the sun orbited the Earth. It used to be thought true that the species of the Earth were placed here fully formed and evolved to their final states. All of this has been since proven otherwise by later information, but for a time these were scientific truths.
And finally, have you observed the Big Bang? Have you really been unable to know both the speed and position of an electron or are you just not trying hard enough? Observation has never been an absolute necessity for science, calculation and proving the negative are just as much a part of the scientific method as physical observation.
Take the Enron scandal. The man in charge of the firm responsible for the accounting knew investigators were coming and that documents he had would incriminate him. He had them destroyed. There were witnesses that could attest to the destruction of documents that would have otherwise incriminated him. He was charged with obstruction of justice.
Same idea here. The only way your idea could work is if you, without witnesses, managed to destroy the documents entirely (magnetic wipe the drives, perhaps?) before investigators came to take possession of them. If no one can prove you had the documents through other means (your network activity, logs on your computer, etc) then you stand a better chance of prosecutors lacking evidence to convict.
Fine, someone will. But we're not talking about the larger economics here, but the specific finances of hearing aids. Versus cochlear implants, it's sometimes more cost effective for a family to choose cochlear for a relative with severe to total hearing loss in one or both ears. If it's the difference between insurance paying and not getting any devices, they'll go with the option insurance covers. For them, the buck is passed, and they don't care where it lands.
That included a device called a SurfLink that has built in Bluetooth to hook up to cell phones and to control the aids volume and sound profile. I can change them for listening to live music, being outdoors where wind noise can be a problem or the standard program. There are other programs I have had loaded too. The SurfLink has a built in microphone that can be set to surround or directional mode. In a meeting I can put it across the room so I can hear people on the other side better or in a noisy restaurant I can hand it to my dinning partner . The aids also have a warranty that include no-questions-asked replacement the first time if you lose or destroy them.
The hearing aids are the behind the ear kind with speaker that snakes around the front of the ear and into the ear canal. The earbud is perforated so the natural sound still comes through and they just enhance the frequencies where I'm deficient.
Well, I can see they've improved since I stopped wearing mine ten years ago when I was 16. Maybe I should look into getting some again, now that you don't have to go to a clinic every time you want the program tweaked.
You know how your ears sound, but they can map your function and analyze it better than you can. They test your response to pitches you may not know you're missing because of the way your brain is adaptive, it may be hiding your hearing loss from you.
That's assuming you get the right hearing aids on the first go around. With so many devices out there, dropping $4800 to try out a device (because once you order them, they're yours) that may not work is foolhardy. It took an elderly parent of my friend three times to find the hearing aid that worked, that's a lot of money to waste.
They work best with severe-to-total loss, because once you implant the device, the chosen ear is bypassed and is effectively deaf when the device is off and disconnected from its counterpart. That said, it's often cheaper to go cochlear because insurance, by and large, still doesn't cover hearing aids but they'll cover the surgery and devices for cochlear implants.
I guess if you ignore the achievements of the 90s' Hubble and ISS developments, yes, the space program was in decline before Bush. I wouldn't exactly call either Constellation (a pork fest) or SLS (a bigger pork fest) an excellent job, either. I'm usually favorable towards our current president, but I'll gladly tell you he royally fucked up on the space program. Returning to Apollo-style massive launch platforms is going to ensure that they never see more than a handful of launches, especially at almost $2 billion per launch. Even Constellation, with all its massive pork and over budget costs, would have made costs easier to manage (launch what you need on the platform that fits, not everything in a single package) than the SLS.

You can't prove Godwin's Law by a single occurrence.

No, just a half life.

Having used Moodle for a university class, I bow to your unholy patience and fortitude.

And that's why we don't let victims play judge, jury or executioner.

They're removed from society. They can't commit another crime against people like your daughter. That's not justice enough for you? You need revenge?
Wow, finally a moment where Slashdotters can make a political insult without being at all off-topic.

How does being deaf impede your ability to read and calculate numbers?

WHAT?!
Don't forget, Obama did kill Constellation in 2010. SLS was born out of its ashes.
