What's wrong with cygwin (just curious what you dislike about it)? It's fine if you're just trying to do linux based stuff on Windows. It's much more complicated if you are trying to work with the Windows subsystem though. If that is your c

As a independent software developer that does a fair amount of web based work, I wished they had included Opera (Presto based Opera) in their compatibility list[1]. Yes, I'm aware most people don't use Opera before someone reminds me, but t

Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot? I'll explain how we perhaps got to this point. In your comment here[1][2] with the quote, your pronoun usage and the reply you gave, one could take it as you were referring to cooldeal, which prompted m

If going by the stats that Xamarin gave[1] for Dalvik versus Mono on Android 4.0, Dalvik is also much slower than Mono. Though obviously Xamarin is not the most independent source in the findings, but I would believe it to outperform Dalvik

Didn't think about it being filtered on no referrer, but that would make sense after thinking about it and why. I end up doing it hoping it has a better chance of reaching someone with the power to fix stuff in some of the larger companies.

No Windows Presentation Foundation support is one thing some would miss. Seriously though, there's a lot of clients out there that would probably not miss the Microsoft branding if they got over the .net label missing. Perhaps not larger en

Intellij is working on upcoming support for C/C++[1] (one of their things they joked about on April 1st coming true) so I imagine it will take advantage of that or Google is working with them on it. [1] http://blog.jetbrains.com/objc/2013/

If you switch the preview released today[1], it's nearly the same as Intellij (even the build numbers almost line up at 130.xx). I just prefer the Intellij preview for some of the features one cannot get in the Android focused IDE Google pr

Update, had some issues with it refreshing the cache. Hitting f5 didn't seem to change file statuses after erasing files (using windows 7). Had to disconnect and reconnect the client to get them to update in sftp.

Oh yeah, I think at least one of them says it's tap water in the fine print on the bottle (or did). Pretty funny though. Not water, but oddly, Dr. Pepper is bottled by Pespi here. In other parts of the United States, Coke or 7up bottles it.

Np, I don't think that patch should require you to do much and the stock ROM shoudn't really be any different (if we're talking about the Android Factory Images[1]) than what you have right now so the patch should work without flashing any

You can back up your data first before unlocking your bootloader and such ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdut... ). Works without even being rooted since it's a wrapper around the built in backup Android implement

Stock as in a Nexus device or stock as in some other OEM skinned device? You shouldn't have problems applying either if you're using stock vanilla AOSP and rooted. OEM skins (touchwiz/sense/etc) though are another thing since you don't have

There's been a few mods out on xda for at least a year or two that let you fake most permissions per app so the app would think it was getting legit data and not just blindly crash if it was denied the data totally. I think one was built in

Thanks. I prefer sftp for my own servers so I don't have to open up another point of access (plus for mounting things like my Android phone [it's rooted and I mount it with ssh to gain access to the live sqlite db in apps I'm working on]).

How is the sftp/sshfs support on Windows for expand drive? I've used opensource options in the past for Windows and they were all pretty buggy. One that isn't so much would be one worth buying imho.

I agree with hyperlinks and probably menus & the terminal (unless you consider it a representation of the old school console terminal PCs of the 70s and 80s) having no real life equivalent. However, folder icons would be symbolic of a r
