Historically they get the intestine flora during the delivering of the baby when the mother often defecate due to the pain and intense labor. Or maybe also by contact with her body just outside the vagina. This is often problem today with procedures to sterilize the mothers body, especially the lower parts. They also gives the mother enemas to avoid defecation during birth. This can result in causing the baby to have an abnormal bacterial flora with a predominance of streptococcus, a bacteria commonly found on the skin.
He answered in an intelligent and humorous way that, not surprisingly, was not understood by you.
Evidently, you are a konformist and he is a non-konformist. You are probably happy to know that you belongs to an overwhelming majority. The minority is equally, if not more, happy to not belong to it.

..is to avoid bugs when coding. There was a long time, maybe 40 year, since the last "new" type of bug appeared. So you know what type of bugs to avoid. It's just your time and/or lazyness that causes bugs. And, of course, lack of knowledge. Which you should have researched before started coding.
..is that there is a fundamental interest for US companies in general and the US government to grant patents to those companies as much and as easy as possible. Foreign companies have also found that the courts in US in patent cases doesn't seems to be impartial to the fact that one part is of US origin and the other not.
There is maybe no difference in this to many other country's patent offices but as US legal and economical muscles is so strong they have such an advantage that they have no reason to change it.
This is yet another story about the attraction of protectionism.

1. I live in Sweden at 60 degr latitude (60 crosses the northern tip of Labrador). We have very long summer daylight that compensates the lower lying sun.
2. Using a greenhouse with heater is extremely expensive wintertime here. Too expensive even for hobbyists.
3. No one here is growing in greenhouses at winter for commercial purposes. And no one of the rest is *growing" at winter, they maybe heat the greenhouses just so the sensitive plants don't die.
OTOH, in Iceland they probably grows at winter in greenhouses as they have free heat from the hot springs.
Not the best keyboard, the keyboard was problematic with its height and relively long front distance. But the keys were wonderful! It was like they automatically removed typing errors!! Their spring was perfect and the action point was at the exactly right place.
The perfect keyboard world be something like model M with IBM-3279s keys.
The victim is responsible for what happened to him. Yes, the criminals played hard and dirty, but they didn't invent those tactics with the victim. When you taunt a rattlesnake, you don't blame the rattlesnake for doing what a rattlesnake does when it bites you.
..before I use them for real. That means I test many different inputs and contexts so I have decent knowledge of their behaviour before construction of the application.
This means that I know in time of its (unexpected) idiosyncracies and also possibilites that is not immediately recognized.
Yes; maybe; and the whole summary is stupid. From claim one of the patent; the very first paragraph:
having a path name in a distributed file system, wherein the file is divided into a plurality of chunks that are distributed among a plurality of servers
So; where the mainframes of the 70s had single consolidated disks stores this is talking about doing this on a distributed filesystem. The area of application is indeed new completely opposite to the claim of the summary.
Patents are not supposed to control what you do; instead they control how you do it. Since the way that Google is claiming to do this is by going around comparing the timestamps on a bunch of different distributed chunks of a file, this is something that no mainframe of the 70s is likely to have had to to so it may even be a new way to automatically delete temporary files. I wish people would begin to understand this and commenters would point it out every time. I wonder if this isn't a bunch of patent lawyers trying to make us look silly.
I can't see a significant difference. In both cases they are using a metadata *expire* date. The only difference is that the files in question are distributed and the format of the metadata. In both cases they are comparing the metadata date with current date for files.

I will pay for news which are:
1. Interesting.
2. I didn't know already.
3. Is researched with background facts documented.
4. Is well written.
But this requires skilled reporters and writers. Which you have to pay for ! Something to think of for publishers ?

4. The rest.

Do you have sources for that ? Links ?
