He may have changed only a single line, but making the queue 4 months instead of 3 could break other parts of the system. Perhaps the "save data" and "backup" functions assume 3 as well, so you'd lose data. Perhaps other assumptions are made in the code, so with a 4 you'll end up with buffer overflows. Those test and security people are in the process to catch these issues before there are problems. It may seem a trivial change, but people make assumptions all the time.
"new customers" is not a valid metric for a restaurant or a pizza place. You want new customers, sure - if you are a small place just starting up. What's important though is repeat customers. Perhaps if they marketed to people who 'like' them on facebook, those customer would more frequently visit that restaurant, thus increasing revenue. Just because they got no new customers doesn't necessarily make the campaign a flop.
It's a single photo of the entire earth from space. 121 megapixels is good, but it's only 10x the 12 megapixel sensor of my current camera. It's good, but it's not Gigapixel good. However, it is the highest resolution single photo that contains the whole earth in it. You can find better ones that are stitched together, but none that are a single image from a single instance in time.
I didn't get a scholarship, I might have been offered one if I took the college aptitude tests, but I didn't feel like going to college at the end of high school - I was sick of high school as it was, nothing but cliques and kids picking on me. I hated it. I didn't want another 4 years of the same stuff. So, I probably wouldn't have gone to college even if I was offered a scholarship. However, now I am considering going to college, (many years later) and I doubt anyone would give me a scholarship now. I've become a successful programmer just from teaching myself.
It's not a local community, but the whole city. Not sure who came up with the naming conventions or when (the city was founded in 1957, so I'd assume the naming conventions were also established shortly thereafter), but I agree, it's a little backwards.
