the bytecode is translated down to machine code, so it is only interpreted once, it is like java.

If they had gone with the embedded length option we'd be sitting around bitching about how short-sighted it was to use just two bytes for the length. Including how Dennis Ritchie supposedly said "64K strings should be enough for anybody".
One extra byte was clearly for that time, now days you would probably use 7 extra bytes (depending on memory model). This would of course not be hard coded.

Apps should not be able to read the data, other people should not be able to read the data, Apple should not be able to do it. If the data was encrypted, at least only apple would be able to read it, was that so hard to figure out???
Apple should have said what this really is about: Your iDevice can't determine its position by using the MAC addresses of nearby WiFi points unless Apple knows the locations of those WiFi points. And Apple's servers can't tell your iDevice where it is right now, unless the iDevice gives them the information that Apple's servers need to determine the location of your iDevice.
To unclear? I do not understand anything you write, and wonder if you do???
I wonder if all those people who helped OpenStreetMap are aware that OpenStreetMap knows the exact location where they were when they collected the data.
I wonder who thinks that OpenStreetMap does not know where you have been when you collected the data, but for someone it must have been news as you where moderated insightful. Frightening.
On the other hand, there is a website know where you can enter the MAC address of a router, and it will give you the location of that router, based on data on Google's servers. I hope Apple doesn't allow the same thing. I would hope even more that Google would put a stop to this. According to what Apple says, this is a black box: Only when the location software in the iPhone OS asks for the information about routers that are physically nearby will it receive location information. And in that case, anyone with a working GPS could have the same information anyway, so this is no privacy breach.
Are you stupid? Seriously?
If he did not it would matter, would it not? Everyone should get a vaccination except me, then I would risk nothing!!!
If you want predictable names from hardware, and you want to be able to add and remove devices the only solution would be to allocate enormous holes if you want to keep the current ethx naming scheme. i.e.
eth0 - eth999 on board
eth1000 + slot * 1000 + port for cards
etc
Do not be silly, the key could have been exchanged earlier, one time pad is an excellent encryption method that has been used in practice.
Most applications should not be written in C or C++., they should be written in a more high level language, where certain kinds of mistakes can not be made.
Some time critical stuff can be written (as you suggest) in small parts in C to make it perform well. For some stuff you can not mix the C language with languages like Python, Java or C# because latency is a factor, and you want real time behaviour (that is, no garbage collection). Then C++ is a great choice.
I do not agree. most of the changes are good, and really needed. They will make programs easier to read and add expressiveness. How can you be against things like auto variables and lambda expressions?
No, it is only the one distributing the software that needs to agree to anything. As an end user you are free to *use* the GPL software without agreeing to anything.
In debian it will be available soon in unstable, the RC is already available in experimental.
Package linux-image-2.6.37-rc7-686
* experimental (kernel): Linux 2.6.37-rc7 for modern PCs

In my country (to my knowledge, in modern time) no one has been put in jail because they criticize the government, and we have plenty of people that do criticize the government in news papers, radio, television and on the net.
If they have been put to jail it has been because they have leaked classified information or been spying for foreign countries or similar. Not because they are crazy and believe that China and north Korea are the paradise on earth.
We even have such lunatics that regularly write such stuff in the papers!
Go to Apple and look what accessories cost (in general).
There is no way that Apple will be the low cost option.
