Poka yoke is about not being able to physically insert a cable the wrong way around. Every USB plug standard has this covered by non-symmetric connector design.
If this animal didn't have the ability to do what it does then it would have probably failed and we would know it now as a collection of bones in some natural history museum instead of a living creature.
There are plenty of other shrews in the Congo Basin that do not have this trait, and yet are able to survive.
I used to have a cat that stood on her back legs and rattled the door handle when she wanted to be let in or out. But apparently this sort of mimicry has only just been expanded from monkey behavior to dogs. Do any of these scientists ever go outside the labs in their mother's basement and actually observe the outside world at all?
Only the GPL gives Apple the right to distribute code licensed under the GPL. Copyright law does not give them any distribution rights, so yes they do need to care about the GPL (or any other license applied to code distributed through the App Store that is not entirely written by the person or company that is submitting it).
GPL: 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
Apple: APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
(i) If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
(iii) You shall be able to store App Store Products from up to five different Accounts at a time on a compatible iOS Device.
(iv) You shall be able to manually sync App Store Products from at least one iTunes-authorized device to iOS Devices that have manual sync mode, provided that the App Store Product is associated with an Account on the primary iTunes-authorized device, where the primary iTunes-authorized device is the one that was first synced with the iOS Device or the one that you subsequently designate as primary using the iTunes application.
These researchers looked at the profile of isotopes in the air and the ground and noted that the atmosphere isotopes skewed heavier than the models of dissolved gasses in the ground from other parts of the solar system.
I take it they have a statistically relevant number of ground samples from other parts of the solar system to make this judgement then.
Just one example (as I can't be bothered going and reading through the 80 odd pages of legalese that you have to agree to before you use the app store); the additional restriction that you may only deploy any application that you download from the app store on a maximum of 5 devices.
If Apple want to be just a distribution channel, and not a distributor, then they need to stop imposing additional licensing terms on the software being distributed through them. By adding their own terms, they are involving themselves in the distribution process.
While there might be some benefit to be gained by identifying a tendency for violence early and treating the individual from early childhood to give them outlets for their aggression that do not result in harm to themselves or others, I think the benefit of genetic testing for this is questionable. By the time a child is a toddler, this tendency would be already coming out in their behavior, and any treatment (whether through drugs or therapy) is unlikely to start before then.
The prosecutor doesn't need to turn over the report if he does not intend to use it in court. It is a report, not primary evidence. The defense team had access to the same evidence themselves, and also chose not to use it (or were prevented from using it by the judge, I don't know which). In any case, the jury came to their decision without seeing this evidence, and the actions of the "whistleblower" in making this public, most likely in anticipation of a very different verdict, are questionable. Smearing the name of the dead in public when the legal process has declined to accept your evidence is never a good strategy.
In what way is this doing good? He is trying to help a murderer be let off by casting doubt over the victims movements in the lead up to the murder. It doesn't change the fact that he was murdered.
Pretty much any big boxy speaker is going to be better than Bose. Consider the big boxy floor standing audiophile speakers to be like uncompressed WAV or some really expensive smaller models that sound just as good could be like FLAC. You can also buy some smaller bookshelf sized ones that might be analogous to 320kbps MP3 (most people who doing a direct comparison and know what to listen for would consider these to be just as good). Bose is like 128kbps MP3 (artifacts are audible, but most people tolerate them for streaming audio if it eliminates rebuffering), and all those mini-hifis from consumer electronics companies are like WAV files sampled at 16kHz 8 bit (just scaled down boxes without the research that Bose does into making scaled down sound semi-tolerable).
A lot of people have wives, and wives don't tend to like a pair of massive speakers that hubby insists need to be at least 3 feet away from any walls. That is the market Bose is aiming for.
And most important for the guy who makes the decision to drop six figures on an enterprise cloud solution, or whatever they're calling it this week, you get someone to shout at when it breaks.
I cannot conceive that Korean co-pilots would choose polite deference to seniority and age over the the safety of the passengers and themselves.
I think you are right that they would not stay quiet if they knew that safety was at risk. And in this case, the co-pilot was senior to the pilot, as the pilot was still under training for the 777. But there is a big grey area between "I know we are safe" and "I know we are doomed if someone doesn't do something". I think there probably is a cultural factor in exactly when in that grey area an individual chooses to intervene.
Megapixels are more important for a phone camera than a DSLR, because on the phone, you don't have optical zoom, so you want the spare pixels to work with for digital zoom.
$299 seems kind of cheap for a flagship product with this feature set. Is it really $299, or is it $299 + a lot more $ in contractual obligation over the next 2 years?
In almost any skill that has to be learned, there's often a fairly rapid and abrupt transition from "I can't do that" to "I CAN do that and since I now know how to it's actually easy".
The only times in Maths I remember feeling "I can't do that" at school, were when I first encountered division in 3rd grade, and integration in my final year. Integration I slowly got the hang of during my first year of University, but by that time my professors were demanding proofs of laws of physics based on partial differential and improper integral equations with complex algebra in the mix, moving at a pace where I could never really get the hang of it. By the end of my Bachelors degree I was burnt out and could not understand why anyone would stay to do a Masters or Doctorate. In science, there was a time our physics teacher came in at the start of the lesson and announced he had something important to do elsewhere, so to read the textbook section on relativity (which we had had no prior exposure to) and write an essay about it in our own words. To me, with the limited knowledge I had at the time, it sounded like science fiction, so I wrote as much in my essay. It was the only time I got a D in physics. Students who were used to regurgitating what they were told without understanding or questioning it fared a lot better.
The greatest pleasure my toddler ever got from his shape sorter was when he discovered that the 3 could be forced through the hole for the C. Never underestimate the satisfaction a disgruntled office worker gets from jamming the ink block into the printer the wrong way around.
To the customer, he appears to be representing the company, but to his employer he is authorized to read the script and no more. Always ask for the guy's manager first if you need them to actually resolve a problem by doing something out of the ordinary.
Interesting comment at the bottom of the article that might throw some light on where at least some of the money is going. Mobile phone topups are apparently showing up as declined at POS (which should cause the retailer to not take any payment from the customer), while some time later the customer gets an SMS informing them that their account has been topped up.
It is outsourcing. The sub-postmasters who are being charged with fraudulent accounting over the results of these bugs are mostly former Royal Mail employees who were sacked and hired back as independent retailers contracted to provide postal services with contracts that transferred all the risk onto the small retailer providing the service.
Cyanogen does not require a Google account. Only the closed source Google Apps (which have to be distributed separately from Cyanogen for legal reasons) require a Google account.

Problem is, this time they actually made an effort to make it fit, so now it doesn't fit traditional PCs either.

They do have to care about that, because they are the ones doing the distributing and imposing the additional restrictions that violate the GPL.

Or perhaps he bent the rules because he was being personally threatened at the time, and his employer disciplined him for it later.
