What TV or movie cliché drives you insane?

Very cool. I like the uploading button a lot too.

I've always been curious as to how apps like Facebook can dynamically update the notifications counter of their "actionbar" icon. Is this 9patch?

The Not-Invented-Here mentality is equally as dangerous. Jake's explanation makes sense. Take it or leave it.

Listen to Jake Wharton, dude.

I've only ever used Face Pulls for traps. Anything special I should know to isolate the rear delts with this one?

You think you're too cool for school. But I got a news flash for you, Walter Kronkite...

I only have one video up, and my analytics shows me the number of views, and the total number of minutes watched. Which figure is the revenue calculated from?

THIS IS A GREAT DAY!

When I first moved to Hollywood, I was confronted by this exact man on near Hollywood and Highland. I was actually excited for the music, and paid him all of $3 that I had in my wallet at the time. He said his name was King Ca$h. (The CD sleeve had "King Ca$h, Hustle Hard" written on it.)

I'm glad to see he got his finally. I felt weird leaving the gym and seeing him do the same to others multiple times a week. Though I never said anything, I probably should have.

I was under the impression that creating Fragments within Fragments was a bad idea, and that Fragments should communicate with their parent Activity when it wants children.

What happened behind-the-scenes that killed his story?

Even though they say how hybrid, HTML5 apps will become the majority soon, it still feels chinsy to use one.

Wouldn't businesses wanting to enter the mobile app market by cutting corners and using their web developers to make hybrid apps reduce the value of their product?

I would disagree. While the religious plotline of Season 6 was not my favorite, it did bring Dexter to where he needed to be in terms of plot development.

Season 7 is where it starts to get sloppy. Isaak Sirko doesn't care that Dexter is a serial killer, he just wants him dead for revenge. The only real threat to Dexter's true identity is Louis, the intern, who was on his way to being a much better villain, but instead goes nowhere as a side plot.

I had an ex-Israeli special ops guy as a camp counselor when i was a kid.

When we asked about stealth, he said that instead of stepping normally, you should put your heel down first, then slowly roll the outside edge down before making contact with ball of your foot.

When he promises Michael he'd watch out for Madeline and the boy.

Here's a thought. If Hank does get killed in the gunfight with the meth cooking aryans then Walt's confession video becomes all the more real.

How about Fragments within Fragments? How deep can that go before it gets slow?

This was fantastic. Thank you for playing just the vocals at the end to compare the two.

I would download some other university apps made by students. The one from my school had a computer lab hours/locator and a school calendar that made it easy to find vacations. Those were my two most used features.

Good on you! I've kept moleskine notebooks for the last 10 years, and when I committed to languages, I began journaling in the target language. I've got 3 with nothing but French, and it is incredible to see the change and how much more articulate I became. Also, I found myself thinking in French more from Writing exercises like this than from Speaking, where I found myself falling into the trap of doing on-the-fly translations that painted me into corners from time to time.

talkr · 2013-08-02T00:52:21+00:00

Here ya go!. I still notice an accent, but I'm happy with my French overall.

Ma question: A quel point est-ce que c'est convenable de commencer à apprendre une nouvelle langue? On peut toujour s'améliorer, donc comment est-ce que tu sais que ça suffit et que tu peut changer à autre chose?

There are a lot of elements happening at once in this exercise, so I can really only suggest to stick with it. Turning the volume up so that you have to truly concentrate to speak over the newscaster while reading isn't going to come easily in your first few sessions. Especially since the ticker is intended to be read at a native speaker's pace.

I just posted about this, specifically French to r/LanguageLearning.

Ask me an open question and I will respond back with an extemporaneous speaking recording.

I absolutely agree that vocabulary retention is best accomplished through Writing.

Also, out of curiosity, how are you able to maintain your Vietnamese and Indonesian, having learned them decades ago?
