Yes, the answer I would like to hear is that in a high level language - if the language itself doesn't support it (e.g. in Ruby you can do 'a, b := b, a' or a parallel computing language) - you don't fight the compiler but use the correct i

It gets better and better: "We will also enable HTTPS access to the wiki to further enhance security and avoid having to send clear text passwords over the network in order to log in to the wikis." Wait, what? They did send the login passwo

There is another way to achieve this (but apparently the developer didn't do this). Make a second version of the app that requires a login. Give the login information to your supporters. IIRC you can even put an app into the store and set i

Yeah and now compare how limited an iPhone is compared to a general computing device where programs are allowed to talk to each other and rely on each other. You only get the functionality a single app gives you. For many things this is suf
