" unable to scroll smoothly and animate smoothly between apps, at 60 fps, with no lag, and respond instantaneously to touches" I am still yet to see these on my Nexus 4. Maybe some devices have the problem, but it was blown out of

Jennifer, My girlfriend wants to learn about coding as well. She's in the East coast and I'm on the West coast. I want to help her, but I am not sure how. Did you have any programmer mentor? If so, what kind of role have they play

You sound like a college freshman who heard some words that professors and talking heads on TV say and regurgitate them into your speech without comprehension.

I am not attempting to explain why every kind of food is selected for certain criteria for whatever reason. I am not also saying that you either select to for looks or nutrition. It's a matter of degree and compromise between different

>instead they all cheat, bribe the teacher, etc. This is wrong. Sure there are stories of Chinese students, parents and teachers cheating the system, but keep in mind that China is a country of whopping 1.3 billion people.

This is rather embarrassing. If OP had dedicated BW of 8MB I wouldn't be surprised if ISP started charging $200+/month for it. The whole reason why we share BW is because it's way cheaper and resources become more efficiently

It's easier said than done to think that charging more and putting more commercial will still allow Pandora to retain the customers. If rdio, Spotify, Rhapsody all are offering similar service at lower rate, what's to stop the cus

You are right that we live in an approximation of democracy, but that doesn't entail that "we aren't ruled by an evil cabal, we aren't ruled by some landed elite. We aren't governed by some educated class (you shoul
