I would be a bit skeptical of their load time results without additional info. The numbers are all ambiguous without any details on how they produced them. Another Java 6 alternative on Android is always welcomed, but I'd just like to

Technically first class functions means functions can be treated like objects and passed around like any object (for example, python). That said, I agree with you that Java does not have first class functions. They have something tacked on

I think it just tends to be who you associate with. I don't really know anyone I hang out with that sits on their phone the entire time. Then again, I wouldn't put up with hanging out with them if they did either.

Oh, heh if they have a fence covering all the rail that seems more realistic. I live in the Ohio and never saw anything like that, so was a bit puzzled how they thought guarding the crossing alone would help.

Nice of you to put out a feeder for it. I would feel bad as well if I didn't and saw one here, lol.

Make sense. Guessing you're also lucky enough to have some all year round too, which would be nice. We never get more than a handful here, so can't say for sure if they'd act the same in that situation or not. I must not be o

That's interesting though they sometimes cooperate. Only time I really see them do that here is when it's the offspring of one. Perhaps it has to do with the species of hummingbird? The ones where I am are all Ruby Throated ones.

Yeah I love how they haven't come to the conclusion they have certain "flowers" that will never run out of nectar and will fiercely defend those feeders no matter how much you fill them up. Maybe they do realize that, but the

It's not just software development though. Salaries in different cities and states are all higher or lower depending on the cost of living there. For example, the average 2 bedroom apartment rents here for around $900-$1000 a month. Sa
