iPhones absolutely do "self-destruct" after too many attempts. I am not sure exactly what occurs, but you won't be able to attempt to unlock, and I believe you will need to restore from backup. Backups are encrypted by default.
If you find you're repeating code, especially in the same function, your structure is bad. If you refuse to allow good structure, you'd better hope you only employ idiots.
Yuck. Large functions are harder to read. If it's long, it's hard to tell how many parts will be hit for a particular code path. Understanding everything the code does is harder. It's a real pain to trace through in the debugger. A short function calling a set of single-caller functions is trivial to debug with a combination of step-over and step-into.
If it were Israel defending itself from indiscriminate rocket attacks from a hostile neighbor, it would matter. But it's just the US killing people in wars it has no business being involved in, on the other side of the world, so who gives a shit?
We shouldn't be so willing, as a species, to sell our privacy in return for services.
What a ridiculous statement. Give one good reason why, as a species, we shouldn't do this. You are free to do as you wish in this regard, but who appointed you as god?
There are zero Objective-C apps written today that use the garbage collector. ARC has been part of ObjC for years, and on iOS, the GC was never available. You've been trolled. Or the Anon Shitface is an ignorant asshole. Either way, your question is meaningless.
I have no debt that extends past the due date of my bi-monthly bills. I am hurt by inflation because my salary doesn't go up on a regular basis to account for it; thus I am effectively earning less each day. And believe me, I wish I had money to stuff into a mattress. I'm not quite at the "living from check to check" level, but I'd feel more comfortable if I were further away!
Unfortunately many computer science departments at universities are so focused on theory they forget to teach common development practices. For example most students get exposed to agile development methodologies only after they get to industry.
How is that at all unfortunate? Computer science doesn't really have much to do with practical programming, and the curriculum certainly shouldn't be bogged down with teaching development fads. Agile is more about management and basically zero about writing code, so even if CS was about writing code, Agile would still be untaught.
Perhaps what you are looking for is a degree in Management?
So get on the phone and sit there for untold number of hours to report your issue. No one is stopping you from wasting your time due to your own paranoia.

Search for " i " or "(i ", if you need to find where it's not used as an index; otherwise, use the obvious "[i]".
It's not really hard. And if you have to scan more than a dozen lines to find users of a specific loop variable, your code is hopeless crap.

If you kill yourself, you will no longer feel upset and angry. Your existence will be infinitely improved, and so will ours. Please try it soon!
The worst threat to humanity is sheer stupidity. You qualify.
That's because you're an idiot of the highest order.
Reporting a crime is not the same as arresting someone for said crime. Corporations can do the former; government can do the latter.

Or busty. Wait, that would be D(D?).
I would think population control and eradicating malaria are opposing goals.

I'd stare too, if a ham radio entered my store and asked me a question.
How could you possibly have any performance-critical code running a 6502 emulator on modern hardware?
Debugging null pointer dereferences are ridiculously easy in Objective-C. Have you ever written any code that wasn't in BASIC?

The GC has been deprecated for Objective-C for years, and it will be removed in the next version of OS X. The iOS runtime never had it.
Basically, you are completely ignorant.

Instead of trolling, you could take a few minutes to cure (some of) your ignorance.
1) You are an ass.
2) +Funny moderation doesn't give any karma, so many mods will throw in Insightful or Interesting to give the poster some kudos.
I didn't check the moderation history of this particular post, because I don't give a fuck.
south pork?
If you killed yourself, you'd not be bothered by slashdot's choice of stories. It's a win/win for everyone involved!
If they say stop, you fucking stop.

Running an ad campaign reminding people that they could call in would have been just as effective
You must not actually deal with people. I am not sure that hermits living in their mothers' basements really have a proper perspective. On anything.
