The slides that accompany TFA indicate that the percentages for individual devices are what fraction of the total failures for that OS came from that device. So if 0.58 x # of failing iOS devices = N, then N x 0.29 = # of failing iPhone 6. The summary simply removes the information content for the device-level numbers.
As an undergraduate I took an Introduction to FORTRAN Programming course because I needed another course to maintain full-time student status after dropping a much-hated French literature course. Punch cards on a CDC 3600, with later use of a CDC 6500 and an IBM 1800 prior to graduation. That first course was the second quarter of my freshman year; I took a CS course every quarter until I graduated, then spent two years in grad school working on a master's degree in computer science, until I dropped out to go to work in compiler development at Sperry Univac.
But that's not what the summary says! It says 3.67% of the 1.3 million are Alexa Top 1000 sites, so 47,710 of those 1000 sites are blocking Tor users. Hmm. Not much better.
Good idea in principle, not always helpful in practice. I diagnosed an application failure on a UNIX system some years back that resulted from using the system's "time since last boot" function as a real-time clock with greater than one-second precision. We discovered that in order to prevent the terrible things that would happen if the 32-bit signed counter of 0.01-second intervals ever overflowed, the UNIX vendor had programmed the reported time to stop changing when it reached 2^31-1. Since the system provided no other interface that provided elapsed time with greater than one-second precision, we ultimately had to tell those of our customers with systems from that vendor to be sure to reboot their servers at least every six months.
My introduction to science fiction was reading Zenna Henderson's "Ararat" in a 9th grade (I think - it's been a really long time since then) American literature class, and I think it stands up fairly well. I like the idea of one of E.E. Smith's novels, for contrast, and I would look for something by Ted Sturgeon. Hal Clement would be a good source of stories with engaging non-human characters, and it might be interesting to compare and contrast his aliens with those of James White in his Hospital Station stories and those of Niven and Pournelle.
which foresaw the LHC "cold [sic?????] at the beginning of July"
I presume your "[sic?????]" means that you're not aware that the LHC runs at cryogenic temperatures. When they say "cold at the beginning of July" they mean that it will be cold at the beginning of July - too cold to do any further repairs. That's what the helium they need to transfer and store is all about.
Actually, the IEEE health-care plan has one major drawback, from what I can see. It has a $5000 deductible and pays 80% for in-network care, 60% for out-of-network. Probably more significant for the original poster, it is not open to new participants. I don't know how much it would cost if it were available.
This is called the "analog hole", and our friends at the MPAA are lobbying Congress to fix that problem. If they have their way, it will be illegal to make a video camera that can record a copy-protected image off the screen. To make that work, it will have to be illegal to import uncertified televisions (because they might strip the signal that tells the camera the image is not recordable) and uncertified video cameras that might ignore the signal. That will fix the problem, because all piracy happens at home, doesn't it?

Barratry refers to repeated harassment via the legal system. It does not apply in this case.
What Ms. Cohen might legitimately be accused of is abuse of process, which does not require repetition to be punishable.

Anyone remember who first noted that the best evidence for intelligent life in the universe is that they haven't contacted us?
