This is a bit old, pretty much every Mac in the last 10 years has come with a device that supports the right click, generally through the use of no physical buttons at all, the new MacBook of course is doing away with physical buttons for all clicking now just like the Mighty Mouse did. Personally, I have enabled the two finger right click on all the Windows laptops I have and use that in preference to the physical right button virtually all the time. I'm not yet sure if I'm going to be completely happy with the removal of the physical button as has happened on the new MacBook, I tend to only use it when I'm dragging and dropping so will be interesting to see how I manage without it. I'm not yet convinced it's a good thing.
Come on, this is rubbish. The Wintel PC industry is no better. Just been to Dell's site, picked a model at random and now I see I can have a Dell Latitude 3450 a Dell Latitude 3450 a Dell Latitude 3450 or a (wait for it) Dell Latitude 3450. The differences between those 4 model numbers(!) are a CPU that ranges from celeron to an i5, different ram, different amounts of storage etc. There are also 5000, 6 and 7000 series there, but nothing to describe, in real terms, what the differences in those ranges are, just a bit of marketing blurb about who they are targeted at. All those numbers might mean something to someone but at best, they just distinguish between the many types of models in the current range the distinction that Apple manages via the model name, not a number.
If not running windows apps is a point agains the iPad then obviously the fact the surface doesn't run iOS applications is likewise a point against the Surface.
I have connected to my work's Cisco VPN and Citrix Gateways many times over the years from various iOS devices. iOS added VPN support - including a Cisco VPN client - in iOS 2 which came out in 2008.
I think you are right, just fishing for 'correct' answers is not the right approach. When I'm interviewing then if they ask questions for clarification or more detail then I think that's generally a positive sign. Whilst I tend to agree that 'what type of file is it?' probably isn't that relevant, there are lot of other questions: What kind of data is it (i.e. trade secrets, cat pictures etc)? How big is it? What technologies does the recipient support? etc. Maybe it's small enough to email and SMTP over TLS is sufficient, or maybe the type of data determines that it should be encrypted at rest and you'd use PGP, maybe it's too big to email etc. But if the start asking questions to clearly understand the problem then that's someone with a good reusable skill.
Almost everybody is extremely bad at their jobs. Especially in IT, but in general too.
At a previous company I had to call support because my computer didn't grok with the domain and wasn't getting group policy. The tech, with her domain admin access, comes over and is obviously floundering trying to fix the problem. I suggest running a DOS command I know...she googles it and pulls it up...she gets to the command prompt and starts typing, "command\optionfoobar-x7", etc. How can you possibly be in that field and not know the *most basic structure* of a DOS command? I don't care if you know the command and options, everyone googles that crap, but you don't know how to type it in properly? A backslash and no spaces? Really? Even when you're looking at a webpage which has it verbatim?
Its no wonder things are in the state they're in.
If you have a computer thats part of a domain and has group policy then it seems pretty unlikely that it was actually a *DOS* command.

If you don't have the physical machine, where are you going to get the serial number from?
IOS as in Cisco routers? or iOS as the OS that runs on iPhone & iPad? or OS X which runs on desktops?

I guess these guys are all coders then..

I guess the first part refers to signing, in which case you are generally encrypting a hash, not the raw message.
