I used to really like the Tempest game for that, and the card game wasn't too bad.
I wanted to get Monopoly and Mahjong for it and some other games but by then they stopped selling them on the iTunes store. There was a pirate torrent going around but the apps were encrypted and no way to install them on another device. Finally they just stopped making them.
Apps like that... gone forever.
iOS 3.0 apps that got the App store going... gone forever. I still remember playing the unofficial lights off game, beat all 150 levels. (Wrote a program to solve them)
Unless someone wants to make an emulator for the original iPhone you could do it by downloading the ROMs just like old Apple emulators, but how would you approve the apps without a 3.0 app store around?
In theory someone could crack Apple's old signing keys and have a local "FakeAppStore" program that validates them and allows installation on the emulator.
The "cease and desist" letter would probably arrive less that one minute after putting such project online.
A down on his luck coder finds it impossible to satisfy the requirements of headhunters. 2 years of Swift?? C# AND COBOL??! Besides that, the jobs he CAN get pay less than flipping burgers. It seems there's plenty of jobs being outsourced, and women are being aggressively recruited... why take his chances picking the wrong one... when he can become BOTH??

As others have pointed out there's various installer programs that will get you a consistent environment to work in.
You really want to keep your development environment and local system separate and VMs are a great way to do it. Just as a quick starting point try using Vagrant with Virtualbox and scotchbox which is a simple LAMP setup ready to go.
Run a headless VM, treat it like a remote server. This is better than using your own system for many reasons. It allows you to configure your test environment as closely as possible to the actual production server. Since its a VM you can easily move it to another system if needed. You can clone it and test updated software versions. Also you can allow automatic system updates without mangling your dev environment.
Just a simple thing like installing a git server (try gitlab) on a VM can really help modularize your workflow and allow you greater flexibility on your actual workstation.
hypothetical 'Y swap' corrective procedure for X-linked genetic disease
That's a brilliant idea. If only there was some way to conceive a child with some other mans DNA. Fortunately for researchers the techniques have not yet been developed, so they can safely investigate genetic ancestry without worry of this hypothetical 'y swap' procedure./s
I'm curious, has anyone ran the conversations from FriendlyChemist and Redandwhite through one of those grammar analyzing programs to see the likelihood that they're the same person? It looks fairly likely that DPR may have been scammed by someone wholly unconnected to the trial. $650k is quite a lot to make just sending a few emails around.
Also it should be possible to trace both bitcoin wallets and see if there's any overlap between them.
Until Google figures out a way to get around carriers on this...
It seems that Android is destined to always have a majority of it's devices vulnerable to known exploits. Even Google Play Services hasn't been a solution for this.
The trick is to have a continuously running project in the previous language or framework while working on the newer one. Send a patch in to an open source project once in a while, or even keep a little toy program for trying experimental stuff on.
That way instead if "5 years C#, 2 years Pascal" you have "7 years C#, 2 years Pascal"
People aren't going to go back to books, the convenience of a tablet or phone in bed is too great. If your OS or hardware doesn't support tweaking the lights perhaps a thin plastic cover could block out some of the blue light and help reduce the effects.
The destruction to their internal network is very real and expensive. The private information leaked will have very real consequences and is already causing legal problems for them. While they can come out ahead on this if very lucky, they could also be be up way behind. If the movie is leaked and Sony never officially releases it then they come out 100% at a loss from all this. They're definitely losing hundreds of millions on the IT breach alone.
A few speed bumps should take care of it. Get the people on both ends of the block to vote against the people in the middle who have to pass each one every time. Tyranny of the Majority trumps Tragedy of the Commons.
But then freeway drivers could organize and prevent the speed bumps.
Ummmm... And then come winter the gorillas freeze to death.
Colleges hate letting people skip intro classes. And usually allow only one class to be skipped. When skilled students take intro classes it makes a lot of money for the school. Also you don't want native foreign language speakers testing their way to a degree in their own language.
Is it known what kind of phone/OS/app she was using? I was under the impression that most built in video recording apps wait until the end of the video before they start uploading. In my mind if a cop stopped you while recording they'd have time to end and delete before it even starts uploading. Many phones record at 720p or 1080p making the files much larger making a cellular transfer take much longer than the video length.
I was planning to do some research to find an app that would live transmit while recording to be ready for just such a scenario. Do the built in video apps hold off on their delete until the file is backed up?
Great. With the state of security on the Internet we need a wider pool of developers to sift the wheat from the chaff. Too many guys getting paid to do what they can't. With the current security awareness going on, and retailers starting to get sued by banks there may finally be hope for a bit of improvement.
It is a common scenario where one would be offending for showing "interest" in others. Personally I AM interested in learning about other cultures and backgrounds but have to remember it's not always the right time to ask.
I'm deaf, so at times it gets annoying having to explain over and over how much I can hear, how I can speak clearly, do I consider myself deaf or "hard of hearing" over and over.
However I don't interpret that as aggression against deaf people, I realize they are curious and lacking a bit of tact.
I'm sure there's books on etiquette and conversation warning not to ask about such things. Good luck changing the direction of society on that one.

Let's not forget back in the day when Linux and the GPL was "communist".

Why is it that 5.3.10 is listed as the last secure PHP 5.3 when there's many more releases after it?
It's the tracking quivalent of the "evil bit" in TCP.
Probably never heard of the movie eh? It was all over the news back in June.
http://thediplomat.com/2014/06/no-north-korea-did-not-threaten-war-over-seth-rogan-movie/
It doesn't prove anything, but NK's displeasure at the movie has been well known for a long time now.
Reminds me of the ole sound card company that went out of business after making cheap MP3 players... "Creative".
"But if you have to tell us you're creative......"
I'll have to try that next time my boss complains about something I don't feel like fixing.

It's more likely because of the movie coming out Dec 25th.
Definitely not Windows X marks the P0wnage.

Where was the outrage over last years Plants and Zombies/ Angry Birds themed hour of code?
Is it the branding bothering people, or that girls are being focused on this time around?
