How would SSH agent help here? They used social engineering at Amazon to get common account info, then further used social engineering to get the password reset on his Apple ID.
Once they had his Apple ID they logged into the iCloud service and issued remote wipes on all his devices that he had activated the wipe option on. Since he used the same credentials everywhere they were able to get into Twitter and Google as well.
As for loosing all his data, he should have had a backup. Apple makes this super easy on iOS using iCloud and on OS X using Time Machine.
You can get a Mac mini to use for around $600 and it works just fine for development.
Not sure if you are joking about the USB thing or not. You just plug the device into a USB port and then can run the debugger, profiling tools, packet capture and all that directly on the device.
The OP might not have stated it too well, but STP and.local domains are two well known, but separate, issues that have occasionally created issues for Mac sysadmins. These issues have been largely resolved over the years though.
For what it's worth, Cisco recommends always using portfast on endpoint ports and Microsoft recommends not using.local domains.
Like jcr said, you aren't calling methods, you are sending messages to objects.
Why on earth does it hurt to name the parameters when you send the message? You can look at the code and know exactly what it does. When you type the code autocomplete kicks in and you know exactly what the method of the class is expecting. It's not like this stuff is new, the basics are nearly 30 years old at this point.
I mean if you really want to go crazy you could say that none of the languages are unnecessary. Why would you ever use a pointer when you could just go to the address in assembly?
The NDK though comes with several recommendations and caveats though as well. It's specifically intended to allow reuse of existing code or for parts of a program that are highly performance sensitive.
Indeed Google says this about it, "The NDK will not benefit most applications. As a developer, you need to balance its benefits against its drawbacks; notably, using native code does not result in an automatic performance increase, but always increases application complexity. In general, you should only use native code if it is essential to your application, not just because you prefer to program in C/C++.".
If you click through and read the MS Kbase on this you'll see that they patched this in Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac back in 2009. It doesn't appear to exist in the current versions of Office:Mac.
The document exploit is also present in Windows versions of Office as well from the same timefreame.
Better yet, how about we fix the education system in the US so that there are actually locals that are able to do this work? It's a sad condemnation of the US school systems that with nearly 10% unemployment there are technology companies so desperate for skilled workers that this even is a suggestion.
It takes the Rand ideals and then shows how it leads to a broken down dystopia full of murderous gangs.
The problem I had with it was that it devolved into fetch quests of epic size, everything I want to do requires 900 things strewn about the city. It got boring and I quit near the end.

Oh we never had those, but I gave them at birthday parties a lot.
Getting them stuck in the roof of a nearby house was always awesome!
I had the Viper that would shoot the dart all the way, before the recall.
Also, this. http://www.theonion.com/articles/fun-toy-banned-because-of-three-stupid-dead-kids,290/
It's because they are EFI32 and not EFI64. I have a 2,1 as well. Without a soldering iron these aren't going to become EFI64 logic boards.
You can complain about it here or head over to http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,1123.0.html , install a 64-bit boot loader, and be done with it.

The Shuttle only pulled up to around 3G on launch as well via a combination of throttling down and course changes.
I was wondering about that. TFA (and TFS) makes it sound as if they simply stockpiled parts before it broke down and now didn't know what to do.
It seems that the Danny Sullivan in TFA is not the Danny Sullivan I would have expected to comment on an article about cars!
Ditto for strings. Also, you have to prefix string constants with '@'.
Oh no, a single extra character!
The '@' isn't how you define a constant. It's shorthand for creating a NSString, since most everything in Obj-C needs objects to function.

I find Obj-C very easy to read and understand, but that's probably because it's the first compiled language I've picked up.
For a noob all that text is great and autocomplete makes it easy to type.

So do you need to make a physical invitation for a Second Life wedding?
I kid. I kid...
You could always just pump it out and leave it there like they did with the MS World Discoverer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Discoverer
I hope you have Amazon Prime so that the shipping is free on that.
Security systems, fancy locks, or anything else doesn't deter pros. They just drive up with a flatbed or tow truck, scoop the car up, and drive away.
That box must have been really, really heavy!
iOS is based on OS X and they share a codebase.
So sorta?
Not in all cases. Netflix on Mac and Windows may use silverlight, but it is just H.264 streaming on the mobile platforms like iOS.
Settings > Location Services > System Services
It looks like this. http://snapplr.com/snap/kqck
On iOS 5 you can individually toggle each application and each system service's location settings.
You can globally just shut it off if you want.
You can tell iOS 5 to put a location icon in the status bar whenever something uses location services.
For example you could tell iOS to not use location for iAds, or traffic, but to go ahead and use it to set your time zone.
How about we just fix the visa laws?
