So, what's the scam? Is it that it's easier to sell scammy apps if your developer account wasn't created very recently?

What’s a good name for an adventurer-warrior that starts with N? So I could do something stupidly alliterative like “Gnosferatu the Gnightmare Gnome”.
“Gned the Gnecromancer”
“Gnorbert the Gnosey”
“Gnestor the Gnotable”
Maybe I should just assign you a gnome-name when you start.

The bulk of the money I made from Apple last year was a class-action lawsuit settlement, so there doesn't seem to be much point.

Structured Programming was what turned me into a programmer after a couple of years hacking about with TRS-80 BASIC. Suddenly code flowed in a single direction and wasn't a tangle of routines to patch up whatever didn't work in the last round.
Dunno if it's one of his rules, but SP inspired one of my rules -- calling return() from anywhere other than the last line of your function is a stealth GOTO.
Also break; is a stealth GOTO, but that's kinda obvious.

Now they're just gonna send me quarterly emails, which are far easier to ignore.
