A healthy passion for something includes a well-balanced diet of other activities not related to your passion. Any place wanting to hire otherwise is only going to get a sociopath. That said, it's frustrating and time consuming to get a pile of resumes where most are such an impossible fit, they could not have possibly read the posting. You tend to get a little "over specific" next time you list just to weed out more of the static.

I don't think anyone is wanting that anymore.

Java is indeed a resource hog, but I think it's ubiquity was already embedded in the ARM platform long before 2005 - actually pretty much a given for mobile development. Objective C is much more of a surprise. Had it not been for the advent of "iphone apps" I think it would have remained relegated to the cubicles of NeXt geeks. The syntax is simply too obsucre (manufactured to obscure it's underpinnings) to attract sane developers already invested it other popular high level languages.

Quite feasible that yahoo had nothing to do with it:
Jimbob creates account on somecrackablesite.com using jimbob@yahoo.com email address. somecrackablesite.com gets cracked and attacker gets DB dump which contains username/email/pass for jimbob. Attacker assumes jimbob used same password for both sites and gains access to yahoo account. This is why using the same password for multiple sites is a big no-no.

Yes, it's true. Some professions are dominated by men, some by women. Nature made it that way. People should be allowed to go into whatever profession they desire without being hindered by some asshole with a sexist complex (of either gender). If they can't cut it, they should be let go like anyone else without screaming "discrimination".

That said, I think more men should be allowed to go backstage to compete at lingerie shows,

RTFA... Snowden's released [PDF] documents says nothing specific about what apps were targeted. Don't make it sound like he's to blame.

If all you want to do is query network state, you only need the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission. Never heard of a "change the user's networks" permission but seems like it would only work with a rooted device anyway.

FTFA: "The issues are simply down to differences in the Norwegian network that Tesla has not experienced elsewhere"

If a regular joe lied to congress, under oath, they'd send his ass up the river on a multitude of charges running the gamut from conspiracy to perjury to treason. Clapper should be judged by the same laws. Let a jury decide.

I find it extremely hard to believe that a company whom has failed on so many fronts can post a "record revenue". Let's face it; Windows Phone, Vista, Metro, Xbox One -- all have been either utter failures or fell seriously short of expected sales. If a company can produce "record revenue" from a year like that, then management has problems bigger than just Ballmer.

That's no guarantee that the next cracker reporting an exploit will be treated the same way. Historically speaking, discreetly reporting a vulnerability usually lands on deaf ears. If you make more noise about it, it you'll most likely end labeled with some malicious tag that the courts love to use to prosecute helpful people for putting a company in a bad light for their lax security.

If you wanted to make money on Bitcoin, you needed to be into it 10 years ago Now, The only people making money on Bitcoin from here on out will be:

- People who mined early and gleaned many easy coins
- People with deep pockets for expensive gear (US Gov)
- People selling gear with the promise of striking it rich

They help keep me familiar with the rebuild procedures on my RAID cards.

Feinstein is probably amping up legislation to keep drones out of the hands of hobbyists and the general public.
