Just minutes ago, my iPhone 5 just updated itself without asking, and it got locked with an "Activation Error: This device is not registered as part of the iPhone developer Program.". I was still using the ios7 beta 3, and it is/was registered. Why and how the hell is apple doing shit like this without any prompt?

Specifically shitlist.domain. Should I go for something less... conspicuous?

I've seen many services offering no questions asked money back guarantees, and I'm curious to know how often do people, in your experience, actually ask for refunds using them.

We'll be launching our SaaS product soon, and I was thinking of getting some opinions on the best way to launch. Do you think it's best to have an all-in launch, where you advertise on all relevant channels at the same time, or more of a steady stream made of smaller launches (eg. Launch one week on HN, one week somewhere else, and so on)?

I'm interested in learning a more exotic language for fun, and I'd like to hear some suggestions. Some I'm considering so far: Pascal, Lisp, Cobol, Fortran, Prolog, Forth, Ada, Erlang. Any others I should look at? Please no BF, lolcode and similar.

Where by job should be understood the best employment option in your opinion, outside of being a founder/co-founder.

I'm looking to build a portfolio of projects, and I'm willing to work for really cheap to do it. Unfortunately, the HN freelancer thread doesn't really seem to have many people looking for freelancers, and Elance/Freelancer.com have way too many low bidders from developing nations so I haven't had much success there either.

Skills: Ruby/Rails, Java (&J2EE), C, C++, some PHP & Python
