How hard it would be to decrypt, knowing that each pin is exactly 4 digits?

I would think if salting was not using, it is just a matter of the time.

Netbeans - although their focus is Java, C/C++ support is great.

Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, Eric Schmidt
none? ;)

NSA already does this, how else you think they process all that data?

Verizon and others would love you to upgrade your device so often. Usually if you want latest and greatest, that would be only way.

For example, device I bought in late 2011, came with Android 2.3 and had only one upgrade - to 4.0. Yet I'm still on the contract, and there were 4 Android releases.
Thanks to mods and CM, I got very stable version of Android 4.3, and I intend to keep my device for a while.
Thanks to Verizon and HTC, I got not much for my money.

This is one area where Apple excels, their device commonly have up to 3 yrs of updates.

Dell has one less thing to worry about: quarterly profits and revenue. This is right thing for struggling or declining companies. "analysts" won't bug them every moth how their market is shrinking and sales declining. Bet employees will feel safer too without threats of layoffs every time they don't meet "expectations"

...you get to see the tip of the iceberg

It is easier to find who NSA doesn't spy... so far that list is []

Good points, and C++ has one thing going for it. Qt framework. Java-like interfaces for fast development, with C++ performance, and a minimal memory management.

with the "Deal"
now we are on long term consequences, and everybody told you it is not a good idea to stick with !Win phone and nothing else.

Eclipse's gcc code parser integration is better than IntelliSense. It actually understand OO code. VS struggles badly with understanding OO code. for example, if every class re-implements one virtual function, VS cannot figure out usage of one particular implementation; even if there are object declared with that class.

Thus VS is good for debugging, for everything else in C++... not much so.

Martian Republican party once ruled on Mars ;)

Because otherwise nobody would pay extra for a touch screen PC with Windows 8

Unless you block them (ahem, hosts file), they do have data on you... it is enough to browse any web page that has deal with Facebook so that they have data on you.

that won't be able to tolerate being hit. Like a child. Or drying concrete. Or another UAV.
