   Most Android tutorials are written by Android/Java veterans, so I used to find them hard to follow. This one is great because it's written by a (former) beginner, for beginners. Nice work!

    I agree. I'll gladly mince my words to avoid being called a sexist. The issue here is that either Jean is being serious, in which case she's undermining workplace equality, or she's abusing the fact that she can facetiously say such things

    Re: "Being Liked" If I were to say "I like having women at work, especially when they make brownies and are not bitches," I'd have an angry horde at my door. But Jean Hsu thinks it is okay to say it because she is a woman?

    This submission is pathetic. As much as I am outraged at the invasion of rights at our airports, we should not be launching a vendetta against these private citizens. Take your issues up with your public elected officials.
