No, objective-c is apple's VB - a shitty language that everyone was more-or-less forced to use long ago if they wanted to use their platform (cocoa/office).

I'd say swift is more like apple's C# - a modern language that everyone (including mocrosoft) wishes every VB/objc developer would switch to. Asap.

Does the place you work have two or more completely separate networks with no access between the inside & outside ones, requiring you two have two PCs on your desk, one for searching Google for how an API works or posting to /., and another you do your sensitive work work on? Probably not.

After 9/11 there was talk about setting up federal systems this way... clearly that still hasn't happened as once you breach a single PC inside of the corporate network, even if that PC doesn't have access to your target data, it and it's users permissions can be used to climb the ladder to find someone who does have data and use them.

Sony must not have been either when oodles of data got pulled out of them... or those detection measures were not enough.

Even if you are looking for mass uploads or downloads, there is no reason the bad guy wouldn't be willing to have the ex-filtration take a bit longer by spreading it between multiple offsite servers with smaller packages of data and over a longer bit of time.

Look at astrophysics. There's enough of it that's just untestable speculation passed off as fact. The Big Bang Theory is a superb example of this. It's treated as absolute and indisputable fact, yet it was never (and likely never will be) directly observed.

FYI, the Big Bang Theory isn't astrophysics.

Please learn a teensy tiny bit about the fields of knowledge you wish to dismiss.

You don't need to directly observe something in order to prove that it exists. That notion is a load of hooey propagated by someone with no scientific knowledge or experience.

I would have said, by someone who desperately needs to dismiss a shitload of evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.
