The Burroughs B6500 stole much of this idea back in 1969. But, you could not turn it off, it was always on. And it had an additional memory protection feature, preventing an erring program from trying to execute data as an instruction or treating an instruction as data, or overwriting a pointer to memory with data. It detected all memory access or overwrite errors at memory access time.
It's all been done before, just in patently different ways.
The Objective-C language syntax was carefully designed to co-exist with C and C++. It may look a bit different than C or C++, but that is by design. It was designed to mix into both. It therefore required a syntax style which would be unambigious. It had to look different, or it would have just been sm odd flavor of C or C++.
"Apple’s Objective-C compiler allows you to freely mix C++ and Objective-C code in the same source file. This Objective-C/C++ language hybrid is called Objective-C++. With it you can make use of existing C++ libraries from your Objective-C applications.
"In Objective-C++, you can call methods from either language in C++ code and in Objective-C methods. Pointers to objects in either language are just pointers, and as such can be used anywhere. For example, you can include pointers to Objective-C objects as data members of C++ classes, and you can include pointers to C++ objects as instance variables of Objective-C classes."
If you want to use C or C++, go right ahead. The Objective-C language includes ALL the capabilities and drawbacks of both C and C++.
There's lots of gaming going on with high frequency trading, or really high frequency price pinging, bids and asks which are tossed out and canceled to simply mess with the quote queues. High frequency algorithms can flood the queues to get artificial imbalances and quote delays. There might even be some arbitrage possibilities based on differences between different quote systems time stamp transactions. Some timestamps are the time of the quote when queued, and others are the time the quote leaves a queue. This can lead to price inversions or other information queuing distortions.
According to Eric Scott Hunsader, the founder of Nanex the Chicago data firm that first identified strange patterns, "This surge in orders may not have been intended to cause the general market rout. Instead, it may have been intended simply to slow down some markets so that traders could profit by arbitrage with other exchanges."
There's way too much potential for gaming the queues if there is no cost to fake a bid or ask. When the cost is zero you get the same thing we have with spam email. If email cost a fraction of a penny to send, spam would drop drastically. If bids cost a tiny amount and were forced to remain open for the time a bid could electronically circle the globe, then that small bit of friction would eliminate many of the system's instabilities. And, all price queues should use the same time-stamping method.
The most age appropriate devices for kids to use with computers and TVs are probably a nice set of hammers to smash and bang the things. They really are as detrimental to early mental development as anything known. Hammers are much better for them. You probably don't want to try to give them a head start with sharp knives or loaded guns, either. Read up a bit abut child development before you have one. Winging it with what seems right is often just the opposite of what is most 'age appropriate'.
Don't ignore the placebo effect in audio perception. Placebos have been proven to work, and it has also been shown that higher priced placebos are more effective.
And, we are of course assuming the children being mentioned are the currently living children. It would be common to not mention those who have died. The probabilities for deaths of children are probably not evenly distributed for each sex, and probably vary according to age.
You then need to apply the distribution of these death probabilities by sex and age to the distribution of possible child ages for the set of families with non identical twins.
And, we haven't even mentioned transgendered children.
You are making the assumption that the probability of having a boy is the same of having a girl. This is not true.
But, assuming it is you still have a problem with identical twins. You can break the set of all families into two sets, One those without identical twins and another those with identical twins.
Your tables are valid for the set of families who do not have identical twins. The probabilities for them is granted to be equal for each instance of your set of possibilities.
With the case identical twins there are seven groups of BB and GG, only one of which occurs on a tuesday. So you have a p = 1/2 for those families with identical twins.
You then need to modify your total result to include both probability cases based on the probability of identical twins occurring in your set of families.
Then you will need to adjust things for the case of identical twins having different birthdays because they were born around midnight.
Then you need to adjust these results to take into account the probabilities of births which are performed by inducing labor or performed by surgery. This will alter the assumption that births occur with equal frequency on each day of the week.
But, the question more properly is "I have just tossed a 10 pence coin twice and it came up heads once on a Tuesday, what is the probability that the coin toss will came up heads?" And you might also ask where did it land!
So any app that want's to access sensitive or private information or incur expensive charges must be designed to include features that might require permissions to convince users to OK those security rights. That limits potentially malicious apps to the category of useful apps as opposed to lighter flames or fart apps.
Users look at granting permissions with as much detail a they do clicking through license terms. They just don't bother to download the sources, check each line of each file for potential bugs or maliciousness, and build the apps from the downloaded and vetted source. Most simply assume the permissions granted will be used for the stated or implied feature requirements. Most normal software use is based on trust. The user trusts that the developer uses the powers granted in a trustworthy manner.
Android developers are always trustworthy. Thats why we rarely have malware, viruses or security exploits based on the developer misleading users. Steve Jobs lives in that alternative universe where some software developers might be tempted to misuse the permissions users click through. I live in that somewhat paranoid universe, too. I don't want to grant permissions to big name corporations who limit their ethics to "Don't be Evil." Evil is a line in the sand way beyond "Nasty" or merely "Bad". It probably includes lots of "Illegal" or "Unethical".
"Just a thought, but maybe if the studios offered a low-cost, for-profit, legitimate download site without DRM, they could receive the profits at the expense of the cyberlockers."
Try Roku. Buy the box and watch Netflix and Amazon movies and videos for the price of a Netflix subscription.
No need to save them, watch whenever you want, as much as you want.
Any statistic significantly skewed by adding or subtracting 1 to either your numerator or denominator is a statistic too fragile to support a conclusion.
"If you watch a stock in real-time you can predict where it will move quite easily."
Sure, even if we accept your premise of easy price prediction, you lose to these high frequency trading systems. You may know where prices are going, but you then need to execute some trades. Front running systems that can see more of the current bid/ask positions and the relative firmness of these positions will skim their profits from your trades.
Have individual private work spaces and a common collaboration area to bring laptops and toss out questions and ideas while you code. Use the rest of the space for a pool table and air hockey room.
We used each of the top 5 processor architectures over time--6502, M68xxx, ARM, x86, and Power PC! The thing we use now has 128k 6502s with quad M68767s managing them. Runs faster than a pack of lemmings.

If they can't even design a press release, how do they expect to create a tablet with as much attention to detail as Apple does with the iPad.
Lots of tech specs on the hardware, but probably a big fail on the software environment.
But, I might consider it if it came with wheels so I could 'Skate and Surf".
