I agree. The word 'hack', while we're on the subject of surreal paintings, would be more appropriate for some of Dali's works such as 'Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Meters becomes a Portrait of Abraham Lincoln' (y

So? There is already a lot of software for which Canonical, for example, explicitly states that they do not provide updates. The software is then updated either directly by user or in the next OS release.

Wait, what? Standard coding style is now somehow a bad thing? From your previous comments I can also see that you dislike debuggers? Doing things your way may work if you write small-scale applications, but when you have to work on a large-

Yeah, well, there were some days when I thanked god for the Eclipse's refactoring capabilities. I had to refactor large amounts of code at one time and had I done it by hand, it would have surely taken a lot more time and would have been a

The purpose of the example was to show how the Prediction API can recognise the language used just from a few words. So, the data given to the API is a few words in French, and it's prediction is that the language is French. I believe that

I agree that we shouldn't judge other cultures based on the standards of our own culture. However, I somehow doubt that kids working 15 hours a day actually prefer that to having more free time. Nobody would work those hours unless they act
