Did a good job? The guy was keeping passwords and router configs in his head. He may be the best IOS programmer around, but that isn't the mark of a good job, that's the mark of an incredible idiot.
You're right. He should have written the passwords on a sticky note on the side of his monitor, as all of the best books on security recommend.
These things don't have an internal hard disk. The right way to use them is to download a system image. If it gets hacked, who cares? Get the updated image and reboot to a new machine. Store user data in a remote non-execute filesystem.
Freedom of speech has always taken a backseat to the notion of national security, even when it is a false notion. This isn't new, but the amount of security we are told we need seems to have increased dramatically.
"Liberty, Security, Empire: pick any two," we used to have liberty and security, now we have security and empire, but our empire sure doesn't seem to be doing anything for the average citizen.
In what sense have NSLs and the Patriot Act increased security? If I were a terrorist I would get a job with the government, since I can get any information I need and not have to worry about any oversight.The fed is up to 2.15 M employees, you think they are all thoroughly screened? If we were really concerned with security, we would be making the government more open.
You are ignoring how this would increase competition. If the FCC enforces Net Neutrality then the ISPs will be competing with the Radio and TV industry for becoming FCC board members. Lobbyist influence would be diluted because each board member would only care about their industry.
The reason that a judge will allow this is that they have specific information about a group selling bootleg merchandise at past festivals. Its not a blanket suit, it is narrowly targeted against currently unknown individuals. Seems reasonable to me.
1) Put on your white shirt, tie and pocket protector. 2) Take sharpened No. 2 pencils and preprinted coding forms to class, remember your flowcharting template! 3) Read the language manual, the compiler manual, the linkage editor manual, and the overlay manual. 4) Punch cards 5) Submit your deck and wait for the line printer 6) Debug with your hex calculator 7) GOTO 4
Learning Ruby
1) Take your laptop to Starbucks 2) Drink lattes and go through the online tutorials 3) Debug? What's that? 4) Send it to the client and cash the check before they think to load test it.
Working on your own gets you started, but doesn't give you the feedback to know if the way you are doing it is right or wrong. You need somebody who has been working with the language looking at what you do or training you. Another way is to try cloning something that you can get the source for and then look to see how they did it differently from you.
What country are you from? In the US people have natural rights, the government can only restrict those rights based on the Constitution. No rights "come from" the government.
You gotta wonder what they perceived the benefit was of putting this "functionality" in place. I can't think of a single thing they gain by doing this...
Verizon makes a lot of money by locking down their phones and selling services - download songs, ringtones, games, etc. If you could load those on the phone without going through Verizon, then they lose money.
If you want to use the Verizon network, then buy a new, unlocked phone at full price and use it. There's nothing wrong with doing that. Just don't expect the Verizon branded phone to have the same capabilities.
I through N were chosen for integer variables in FORTRAN precisely because they are the first letters of integer, which made them easy to remember.
Also, FORTRAN source back in the day was on 80-column punched cards, so short variable names were a necessity. It wasn't like COBOL with MINIMUMCUSTOMERBALANCE. In FORTRAN that would be MCB or some such.
That said, there were no professional programmers when FORTRAN appeared. Many people writing it had a math background, so i/j matrix notation was common knowledge.

It isn't theft if you didn't pay for it either, unless the author had a single copy which you broke into his house and took.
You've never heard of exit polls? They're pretty much dead on in predicting vote results if done properly. There was some controversy in Bush vs. Kerry about them, it's interesting reading.
You obviously weren't buying parts during that time (2000-2005). All tantalum caps from Taiwan manufacturers were bad because they had all copied the same incorrect information from each other. And none of them admitted anything was wrong. So manufacturers were going nuts trying to figure out how they were getting all these defects that seemed unrelated to component supplier. Then there was a long period where you couldn't get any parts at all, even bad ones.
Except your representative won't read the bill, a staffer will show it to a lobbyist who will help him rewrite it. You won't recognize it when its done. And it will have a special exemption which allows government traffic to take precedence "to send important messages on behalf of the candidate"..er "to protect children"..er "to fight terrorists", yeah that's it.

It's true. The Receiving department of their iTunes office filled up with money and had to be bailed out with huge buckets several times.

It's like the difference between being clear and failing to be unclear. Clear?

Wow. There must be 100 posts before someone clearly and simply states the correct analysis.
If the system were 100% read only, how would it have gotten infected?
I guess this is a bad time to mention the Giant Strobe Light Project that we're doing in the Antartic ice sheet.
