That is how I always thought of it. Not being able to express one's self without copious amounts of explicit language thrown in just lessens any point the speaker was trying to make 99/100 times. We all have pet peeves that can turn us off

My elementary school (K to 5th grade) was 8:35am I think, middle school (6th-8th) was 9:05am and high school was 7:55am. Times were mostly stagnated though I think for the bus schedule. Certain AP courses (such as AP Chemistry) started an h

I don't think Google was overly happy with Samsung implementing the multi-app view on the Note 2 either, but there was not much they could do about it in the end. They had already told Cyanogenmod previously not to do this[1], so one can as

I too am an Android developer and I test similarly to how you do (even have a Galaxy Nexus [as well as a Nexus 7]). Really have not had anything drastic in fragmentation either if only supporting 2.2 and above (2.2 lacking the download mana

Roger Williams was also exiled from the other Puritans in Massachusetts (5 years after arriving in Boston). Not implying that was related to his colorful usage of the English Language, but marginalizing the influence he had on the Puritan c

Fixed elements on a web page are my biggest pet-peeve. Just eats away at the precious vertical space on my monitor.

Forced registration to read it would be my guess. Nothing else against it really personally. Some people just don't like having to create an account to (passively) participate in a community. I read hacker news for well over a year before I

Correct, they're not exactly the same language, but C can be made to be compatible with C++ compilers (and is sometimes considered a subset of C++, though not exactly true). However, one wouldn't want to assume all bugs, quirks and syntax a

I disable it for sites that abuse javascript. I'm guessing I am not the only one that does. Probably quite a few people would do that outside of us developers if they knew they could (or knew the a site's major problem was derived from it).

It would be nice if we could at least undo downvotes if an undo for both is out of the question. I think everyone has accidentally clicked the wrong one at least once and downvote is the one that does the most damage.

I'm sure they can be. I'm just at a dead end for the evening and way past the time I should be programming (I was the submitter/author of the OP), thanks though for the encouragement :) I was just going off the educated guess (without diggi

How difficult is it to tie in native libraries with Scala on Android?

I tried once more to get lambdas working, but at this point, I'm not sure if it's a bug in the JDK as it's still in beta or if it's Android. Log though for anyone who's less tired and curious: https://gist.github.com/b0d095fbd1ccd4b28fe8

Kotlin might have a better time on Android (though I too would prefer Scala), or at least better support. I haven't tried it yet on Android, but Jetbrains had a small tutorial for it on their blog[1]. I've just been putting it off since it

It's not really a feud thing, but they did go and use the now abandoned Apache Harmony code instead of just working with Apache on OpenJDK and working out an appropriate license for Java through them (and probably avoided the Oracle legal m

Sorry about burying the most important questions. I moved them to the top of the FAQ now :) I really wish Google would just make amends with the Apache Foundation and work with them on improving OpenJDK. It would be so much better for both

I end up adding known distractions that I can (mostly) do without to my system hosts list and then if I need to use them, I have them on a phone/tablet I will find more annoying to use for a longer time period, thus limiting my time and des

Not the OS footprint, just reducing the internal storage size of devices (such as the Nexus 4 is only 8gb and 16gb while the Galaxy Nexus was 16gb and 32gb). There's a number of other current devices out there with a similar trend, such as

It's just speculation, but I think Google is pushing indirectly for more cloud based storage utilization and getting OEMs on board is a way to do that via shrinking storage size (it's a trait with many of the new phones on more than just Sa

I would think that a prerequisite for space exploration would be curiosity. I mean you make a good point, but the willingness to go beyond one's current means and traveling through the unknown kind of allude to an instinctual curiosity to s

If one ever looks at the various OEM firmwares, they're all ridiculously huge even for just being compressed images when comparing to vanilla Android. HTC is also similar in bloat, but just giving the S3 comparison since it was handy and re

Oh, I wasn't talking about Mozilla (the precursor) in regards to that, just Firefox after ditching the Netscape legacy. Sorry for the ambiguity.

I'm surprised Liberation Mono[1][2] (similar to the Deja Vu font) is not on the list or the bitmap font, Dina[3]. I end up using Liberation Mono much more nowadays (which is similar to Dina), since bitmap fonts don't have support in a lot o

Wow, thanks for the insight. I didn't realize things had changed so drastically in Sweden in the past decade. So just statistically speaking, has the overall crime rate gone up drastically in Sweden throughout the past decade or is it more
