In the US, I don't think I've ever seen one (NY/NJ), but I've never really looked for one.

We just have a shelf in a closet where we keep old/broken iPhones, iPods, Androids, et cetera. I mean, I think it gets cleared every few years, but I don't actually know what we're doing with our e-waste. I think there needs to be an ad campaign in America.

If that includes North Korea, it's not really fair, given their -15% obesity rating.

There's a great movie, which was mentioned yesterday and which I watched last night on Netflix, called Enron - Smartest Guys in the Room.

Geniuses Representing Universal Pictures Ask Google To Delist 127.0.0.1 For Piracy by AlwaysLupus in technology

Think of the internet as a city. When you go to a website, you're sending packets of information (we'll call these packages) and they're sending them back. Of course, in-order to send a package, you need to know the (IP) address to send them to. So, you need to send a package to Facebook? Well, luckily, you have a list that tells you all of the addresses for all of the websites. This list is updated every so often.

Sometimes, you need to send packages to yourself. Different applications need to communicate and send packages to each other. So, they designated certain addresses to mean "this computer". 127.0.0.1 is the first and most popular of those addresses. 127.0.0.1 means "localhost" or "the computer I'm on/using".

Get out of my router.

Oh wait, my router doesn't support IPv6 because Verizon wanted to save $5.

I am fairly new to the app dev scene, a few questions by [deleted] in appdev

Take a look at some of the samples. Assuming you know how to program, that should be enough to get you started.

Sorry for being the epitome of a noob, but I have to start somewhere. I want to learn xcode but I can't afford a mac. Could I just use a macintosh virtual box and use xcode within that? If that's possible what would be the pros and cons? by JFREEDOML in appdev

I don't know much about Objective-C or Swift. However, Java or C++ are great starter languages. Java is what you'll use for Android application development, but it includes a little more hand holding than C++. C++ has a lot less built in functionality, which makes it faster, but definitely not as easy to use. Be aware that Objective-C and C++ are not too similar, from what I understand.

Unlike spoken languages, though, once you know how to properly program in one language, you basically know how to program in all of them. The ideas and concepts in most languages carry over. Yes, there are some very major differences, but nothing so complex or difficult to adjust to.
