Comment Re:Code style, not formatting style (Score 1) 479

As said, coding style on that level is something everyone who writes code professionally can adapt to.

When learning at university I was very focused on writing the cleanest, best coding style possible and that kind of focus has paid off. You end up rewriting code many times but at the end you just get it, your code feels right and people tell you your code is good.

If you haven't spent every day of writing code back in university trying to figure out how to write clean code then you're more than likely one of the people I curse daily today.

Comment Re:Samsung have themselves to blame...not the Judg (Score 1) 404

You're trying to tell us the evidence was so hard for Samsung to find they couldn't get it submitted earlier in the discovery process?

Was the data stored in LEO and retrieving it involved launching a rocket with specially trained astronauts, or something of equal scale. By submitting it late when it was such an obvious piece of evidence it means Apple would be severely hampered in producing a counter, so there's really only one reasonable explanation for why they tried to pull that one and the judge obviously didn't buy what ever dog-ate-my-homework story they tried.

She doesn't have to. It's only been ~1 year since the incident and it relates to the release of iodine, which not only decays extremely rapidly but was counteracted quickly with the distribution of iodine tablets. Not only that, thyroid exams aren't exactly common anywhere. I imagine you'd see interesting things if you did similar examinations in random locations around the US.

If there's an abnormal thyroid nodules and cysts that are not cancerous, one of the obvious first places to look is at the iodine tablets. It's not hard to imagine the parents being very diligent at administering those.

So yeah, no need to panic just yet.
