The tools don't necessarily have to be written in the language itself, and while the bar of a language has been raised, developing an IDE have also become much easier. Nowadays it's trivial to write an Eclipse plugin for a language.
I find that the most important feature of a language is modularity. Have a big standard library, make it easy to use third-party libraries, including foreign ones and make it easy to create libraries.
So how do they know the serial number of "THAT" device if it was stolen? It's easy to prove after they searched the address and found the device, but you can't know that the thief is really the one the owner claims without searching him.
Having a tracking software on your device is means next to nothing, as there is no way you can prove the police that it really is your device and it really is there. The only thing they have is your word, or maybe isn't even that, because you don't have control over the device anymore: the thief could just as well submit fake data. If this was enough for a search there would be hundreds of ways to misuse it to cause harm to someone, and people here would cry fascism and police brutality. But when there is a shiny Apple device at stake, civil liberties doesn't seem to be that important all of a sudden.
If you have a decent vocabulary, you can choose between about 10000 words. So, even against a dictionary attack, a password of 4 words is 53 bits strong, a password of 5 words is 66bits strong (strong enough for everyday use), and a password of 6 words is 79 bits strong (uncrackable today).
Galaxies having a gravity apparently bigger than their visible mass is not news, but that this effect is caused entirely by planets is unlikely. The extraordinary numbers they got are not "surprising results", but rather proof that their initial assumption was wrong. There ratio of heavy elements is too low for that many planets to form.
Even if climate change is caused by human CO2 emissions, the majority of these emissions is because of trnsportation, electricity and other uses of energy. Basic human needs contribute little to the problem.

If the language is popular enough, people will write the tools for it.
Most new languages have some sort of foreign function interface so compatibility not that important.
Easy: it's impossible to purchase. You either sell the stuff, or lose the right to it.
Because if the temparature is above that, it rains. If below, it snows.
But those ways only work after the device has been found. The article is about issuing a search warrant, which also requires some sort of proof.
The only thing these prove is that he had an iPad. That it has been stolen by a guy living in a certain address is just a claim.
doing things that I know make me happy
Some people enjoy collecting data, calculating statistics and drawing graphs.
From the article it seems quite effective, so it might not be a completely ridiculous idea.

You are mixing up cause and effect. Americans have guns exactly because of the high crime rate. It's a barbaric solution, but sometimes it's needed.
It might be just overcrowded now.
But danger is not necessarily human-caused.
In democracy, a large number of social media supporters worth more than a handful of fanatics.
Using random words is strong, but using quotes might not be.

And you didn't bother to read the comic. It does assume that the attacker tries a dictionary.

Wildlife photography is not a new thing, but this is a shitty tool for it.
Governments of Earth tend to view the Internet as a threat to their power.
It's a lose-lose situation.
The real lose-lose situation is when they continue with a trial that costs all parties more than it's worth.

True, but stuff should be documented by the people who wrote it, they are the ones who know how it works.
