There are other important reasons not to show things before they are done: one is the impatient group member who rather refocuses a development than to wait until it converges to something usable. It takes a lot of experience to make a rea

I read facebooks terms and conditions before I created my account (you can guess, I am over 50). After that, I never thought about joining. Tried to discourage our kids, too (no success - they are under 50 ;o).

"It is a bit verbose but I'm ok with it." Did you have a look into Java 8 features? The Lambda notation brings nice functional features to java and is also able to remove a lot of boilerplate code. Streams help to make thread

Do you really think he could come back to the US without living in fear? Even if Obama pardons him officially, there may be many unhappy americans with weapons at home, who don't like what Snowden has done. But an official pardon would

In some german citys, streetcar tracks are separated from the carways, at least in the city centers - separated in a way that a car gets damaged if they try to violate the separation. Taking into account that a subway is so much more expens

"Government ties, connections to the military industry and support for politicians? How is that a scandal?" The archive is made public to enable us to find out exactly that. Edit: so many angry reactions. I was answering to a post

Guys, taste needs time to develop. That's why kids are a target for scumbags. Its not the kids fault. They buy what they understand. If they really love their music, they'll too buy Sennheisers in 20 years. Its the fault of Dr.Dre

Hey, but apple computers have a great operating system and they do perform very well. Now read about the comparison of beats with other headphones - or listen yourself - and tell me where the match is? While Apple stuff has become a fashion
