NPR has always been controlled by the Democrats. It was set up by Congress and Lyndon Johnson back in the 1960's to deliver their message; management and editors name their own replacements to ensure the legacy continues.
The dust-up a few years ago wasn't about equal time, it was about very biased opinion pieces by people like Bill Moyers and Daniel Shore.
Feed a lot of it to your grandpa who has arteriosclerosis and an unexpected windfall will be coming your way!
That's also been debunked. Meat and fat don't cause problems; a high carb diet is far worse. So to carry out your plan, feed him pancakes with plenty of syrup.
Every bug fix should be accompanied by a cost/benefit analysis. E.g. entering a number for a person's age which is greater than 4 billion causes an error. Okay, is it worth fixing? Not unless you have a team of developers sitting around with nothing else to do.
Back in the day, we could predict how buggy a section of code was by two things:
1) Who wrote it. Some programmers always write buggy code, no matter how simple the problem they're trying to solve
2) How much logging / commented out print statements were in it. More debugging always meant the programmer was struggling to get it working and was afraid to clean it up when they thought they were done.
People who only know one language (usually Java, or sometimes Ruby) see every other language as a threat to their livelihood. They hate Javascript, SQL, Python, PHP - everything except the only one they know. The fact is, software development languages and techniques are constantly changing; even if you don't have a need for a new language you should learn it, if for no other reason than to expand how you think.
Why ask for reviews, then question why men are reviewing women's shows? How would you expect to get the opinion of the audience if you exclude half the viewers?
The more interesting question is why more women don't review shows aimed at men.
An even more interesting question is why anyone would bother watching the crap that fills the gaps between commercials anyway?
Given that muscles and nerves operate by small electric signals it isn't much of a leap to see how an animal could evolve a mechanism to detect an induced current when it's in a magnetic field. Pretty much the same as any of our other senses (vision, sound, touch, taste - all just stimulation of nerves).
It's well known that sharks can navigate and find prey by detecting magnetic fields. No doubt it took a few hundred million generations of natural selection to fine tune the mechanism, but sharks have been around for a long, long, time.
Well, that's your personal definition of an API. I'm not disagreeing with you, but as I said previously - Oracle is essentially claiming that their JAVADOC is the API that they own, Google is claiming that they can write their own library of routines that happen to have the same JAVADOCs (so their implementation works fine with code that uses Oracle's library). Is the JAVADOC an API? That's what the jury will decide.
Do you know the Morse Code for "Help"? Every kid learns it: SOS - three short, three long, three short. That's the interface, the API.
How do you send the signal? Light flashes? Horn blasts? Radio or telegraph clicks? Palm fronds on the beach? Doesn't matter, those are all implementations that adhere to the API for SOS
It should be filed as a class action suit, or filed as individual. The lawyer is trying to bend the rules for his own profit:
Gallo, who is representing the students in both cases, said he expected Google to file a request to separate the 710 claims individually.
"This is a mass case and the question is, 'Can these people who all have essentially the same claim bring it together so that a lawyer like me will agree to do it?" he said. "If these cases have to be filed individually, no lawyer would take it."
It's not clear to me that the problem is the judge and the jury.
It's clear to me that the problem is with the witnesses. If Schwartz had prefixed his explanation with "GNU is a little programmer's joke, it stands for..." the judge and jury would've understood perfectly.
And describing a hamburger menu as an API is a horrible analogy. I see where he was going with it - the API describes how you request a service, rather than being the service itself. But that's way too subtle for a non-programmer to understand the difference between the API and the implementation.
The world went from the horse and buggy age to the jet/atomic age in 30 years. Huge innovations in electronics, transportation, medicine, everything, in one generation.
That's what brought on the whole Monica Lewinski thing. Kenneth Starr was investigating the real crimes that the Clintons had committed when they started a smear campaign against him. He was so furious with their dirty tricks, lying, and stonewalling ("It depends in what the definition if 'is' is") he went public with the cigar story.
"This bid tells us that some bidders are willing to risk a lot for the prestige of being the cheapest solar developer,"
It looks like there's still a subsidy needed to make it "cheap". In this case the builder is paying part of the cost (or expects to make up the difference by raising the price tag later).

If the movie could include frogs hopping across a road it would be a smash

If people were afraid to develop new technology we'd still be living in caves.
And some days you're the bug.

The FDA has been after Therados for years
Foreign hackers are targeting everything, everywhere. Of course they're targeting political figures.

I'm wondering what the "victim" had to hide, to be willing to pay $1 million for it..
Apparently nothing, since Romney refused to pay and the "third party" was almost certainly an FBI trap.
I suppose they thought that pulling stupid pranks like this was fairly safe in the UK. Things might have ended even worse in parts of the US.
Pick up others along the way? You mean they way everyone does with taxis today? Sure.

And then we wrote laws to close the loopholes which allowed people to get tax free compensation from their employer.

4) An API is the part of the previously prepared program that provides the means to access these services.
Your definition is what the trial and all the confusion are about.
Is the API an implementation, i.e. "the means to access these services"?
Or is an API the documentation of an interface, the implementation of which is a black box?
Oracle claims it's the interface specification, Google claims it's the implementation

Having a lower rate of reported medical errors is easy. Just don't report them. Same as having a better reported infant mortality rate.
