   I am not American and I will second this. A lot of American policies and operating procedures tends to get pushed onto other democracies since 'that is the way we do things at home'. Your horrible patents system is one of them. If

   Generally, whenever colleagues from abroad visit Bangalore, I keep a local SIM card in my name ready for them. After the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, the govt of India made it ludicrously difficult for any foreigner to get a local SIM car

    But the Intellij editor has some noticeable deficiencies. You cannot tab out of auto-completed text (parenthesis, quotes, etc). This feature is a major time-saver and if you are familiar with this feature in eclipse/visual studio/

    The Bootstrap grid system now appears crazy complex to me. I really wish all browsers would now support modern CSS3 Flexbox.

    Ok, I am lost, but all I see is the definition of .fade CSS class using the transition/transform properties - not sure what this has to do with angularjs.

    As an Indian, I LOL at this. If you think the Imperial English government did not butcher Indians, you have obviously not studied Indian history much. I have nothing against today's English people, they are terrific people. But, Imperi

    All the DOM implementations I know store the DOM tree in memory. Because DOM allows unrestricted, write access to any portion of the tree at any time, a disk cache would work well for some access patterns and fail for others. Yes, you can p

    The DOM should have been a cursor based or perhaps a pull-based API. Everything being an in-memory tree was OK a decade ago but not today the node count in the millions across browser tabs. Dom funcions could have been generic ala C++ STL s

    "Great power" ROFL. We are a nation where most of the country lives in poverty and have a truckload of economic and social problems that we like to sweep under the carpet. Importing weapons does not make us a "great power".

    I hate the fact that most of the C standard library needs to be ignored due to buffer overflow/security issues. I nearly always use the cross platform "Safe C Library" anytime I do something in C: http://sourceforge.net/projects/safeclib/
