They aren't, they're willing to go to court to protect their mishaps
Welcome to the results of a litigious society. If Google makes a change then people will hold that up in court and say "Look, your honor, if they weren't doing anything wrong, why did they change it? Therefore they must have been screwing everybody over, SUE! SUE! SUE!"
Increasingly however, what the school does is utterly irrelevant. Almost all the students have their own completely independent access to the big bad 'net.
Which makes it Not Their Problem. They have a requirement (whether legislation, policy, or politics) to secure their network. What Jimmy does on their cellphone is now the telco's problem.
Try installing Chrome on iOS. Oh, you can. Could you install Firefox on iOS? It's possible, but the mozilla folk have taken exception to the API restrictions and thus refuse to do the iOS version.
BTW: There was some research done a while back that did show that using spell and grammar checkers improved the bad english-skills people, but actually made the people who were already good english-skills people worse!
Offhand, yes, you are a less effective programmer if you rely on the IDE. I've seen many "programmers" that get completely lost if the IDE doesn't autocomplete everything for them. They have no sense as to how the program as a whole hangs together. (Note the specific phrasing of "rely on the IDE". Not the same as "uses an IDE". Not using the tool is silly. Requiring the tool is the problem.)
There's this really interesting service out there that converts from a human-friendly (well, friendlier anyway) form to the IP address. Perhaps you've heard of it. It's called DNS. (and BTW, you just quoted a link-local IPv6 address... so the guy who wants to talk to Joe probably can't use it anyway...)
Why is this a surprise? Company releases current version, starts to work on the next version. Heck, in many cases work on the next version starts even before the current version is released.
Give me a choice between the touch-screen keyboard and a physical, I will pick the physical almost every time. (It would have to be a pretty bad physical keyboard for me to pick the touch-screen one...) I've used the Blackberry keyboards since the beginning of Blackberry. They've always been better than the touch-screen versions (Blackberry, Android, iOS, all of them). (Of course, this is all IMHO)
Augh! A mirrored folder to the cloud is _not_ backup! If you delete a file from the folder, that gets mirrored into the cloud so it's gone there too. If you overwrite a file in the mirrored folder, that gets mirrored to the cloud and it's changed there too. This is the same story as RAID drives. That's adding redundancy/resiliency. In the event of a failure of your local drive, yes, there's a second copy elsewhere. But in the event of "oops, I accidentally deleted a file I wanted to keep" you're out of luck.
Yep... and highlights why I don't even try to use an assignment in that area (both that a certain complier will still warn about it, and that it even gives rise to this problem. Just write the assignment before the test and be done with it.). Whether RVCT should or should not complain about it is a QoI (Quality of Implementation) issue.
You are just not trying hard enough. I write various commercial products which compile with _no_ warnings. And yes, this is for performance-critical services, and a few hundred thousand lines of code.
You need to complete your analogy. The ones that "only took a spray can and shot a few seconds" were willfully joining into an expansive coordinated attack with the intent to amplify the damage. This wasn't a case of "wrong place at the wrong time", they knew they were joining a larger group. One of Niven's laws... "Never stand next to someone who is throwing shit at an armed man."
Actually it doesn't. If they catch the 2nd person, then the 1st person would have standing to sue the 2nd for their portion. Why should the ultimate victim bear the costs?

Do I trust _games_ on a secured system? No.

Does it do some task that you feel is worth $1500, then yes.

IPv6.

Or... did $DIETY place those fossils so that we get hints as to how things will work?

Yes, but your teeth don't flex like your heart muscle does...

Just to ruin your streak... beta.slashdot.org is _way_ faster on my iPad than m.slashdot.org ....
Eh, Sure there is. Less than 5 seconds searching on Google turned up multiple Thunderbolt to 10GbE interfaces.

Don't give the 4th parameter a name. You can just specify the type.

Or if you really want to save that 1 line of text:
// yadda
if ( ( a == b ) ) {
}
Now it's no longer an assignment where a boolean expression is expected, it's an expression where a boolean expression is expected.
Sure there is. Your declaration doesn't match your definition. Bad. Fix it.

All in the space of a connector the size of your thurmb...
