Why is your example more "real" than the original? You've made Gabriella a worse programmer, Rodrigo into a worse employee.* *The most important task is the current one; no allowance for business priorities?

Most passwords resets do not mail you the password; they usually mail you a unique URL which you can use to reset the password, which often generates a second mail telling you the password was changed. That prevents anyone from "sneaking" i

This has been going on for at least a year, probably longer. It only works on apps that don't check the receipt with Apple's servers. The fix for developers is to have your server check the receipt of the transaction with Apple. If Apple do

FYI, the notes only need to include the EURion constellation; the software doesn't need a database of currencies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation Still the litas seems to be unprotected, as you said.

> I believe the trick of this is to scale it with the amount of gold in the system. That would make the items too expensive for normal players - only the gold farmers and their customers would be able to afford it. Tricky business.

A pro studio will go for the best tool (with cost considered as a factor) not the cheapest tool. It doesn't pay to cheap out on tools, especially if it leads to extra labor costs because of bad workflow, etc.

No. You government has a monopoly on force, and on the ability to regulate. Apple and B&N do not have monopolies.

The talk about the DMCA and reverse engineering is a red herring - Apple is not taking legal action against Rogue Amoeba. You're seeing the full power of Apple's control over the app store, though - they can stop distributing apps they don'

It's not just lawsuits. Getting a new hire equipped and up to speed takes resources, and drains productivity away from existing employees. Also, once you've done a little training the sunk costs fallacy can kick in, even if you wouldn't hir

The blocks do make it messy but you don't need them, at least in this simple case, if you write your category to take selectors. [[array filter:@selector(passesTest)] map:@selector(transformedObject)]; That's not perfect, but better.

Interesting if you're already used to underscore.js. The more Objective-C way to do this, without the dot syntax and the need for wrapping, is to add categories (sets of extra methods) to the NSArray and NSDictionary classes. The square bra

There are also network effects at play - your co-workers create .psd files, and your printing company takes .psd files, so you use Photoshop. There is also ample training material, frequent conferences, etc. That was Corel's problem - not m
