Well, if you're already at the grocery store, you probably have a shopping list and a pre-filled box isn't what you're there for.


I'd say it's more like: "HTML is getting closer to what is possible with Flex, so we have to concentrate on that. Flex will thrive as much as the community wants it to. If the community wants it, it will develop it further, if not - why should we?"


It's probably more fair to say that the HTML spec is getting closer to what is possible with Flex. Browser support is a whole different issue.


It's not about multiple users using the same device. It's about calling a contact with the card of her respective carrier in order to reduce the bill. Making a call inside the carrier's network is almost always free with the cheapest plans.



Well, for a lot of apps exclusivity, will mean that everyone else could do a clone of the app for another platform, but not you yourself. Which would mean that you can do it too, only under a different name.


As a Bulgarian living in Bulgaria I can say that what your friend has told you about fishmarkets is not true. Maybe it has been at some point, but it must be twenty years since.


Agree. Actually design patterns are really good to apply at refactoring time. You often cannot foresee what problems you will be facing and how your code will evolve in order to start trying to stuff in all the patterns you are familiar with. Write code -> see a problem -> identify a possible pattern -> refactor accordingly. This is also learning design patterns by doing.


I've found that Anti-Patterns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-pattern) are the best approach for refactoring. They explicitly start with recognizing a bad pattern (frequently one which once made sense but no longer does) and then explicitly prescribe methods to refactor them into something better.


My candidate-mother-in-law (as she likes to call herself) says artificial vitamins are bad. Vitamins and minerals in the form of pills get fully absorbed by the body, even if they are not needed in such big quantities at the moment.

Examples: If you bring more calcium in the body it can subside in kydneys in the form of sand-particles.

If you bring more vitamin D into the body, the body starts to pull out calcium from the bones and sends it to the kidneys and to the heart-muscle.

She's a pediatrician and а homoeopath and feeds us (my girlfriend and me) with blue-green-algae additives, because they contain all the stuff in it's natural form, so the organism can take whatever it needs out of it and excrete the rest.

Her supplier of choice is AquaSource (a multi-level-marketing company), but there are many other companies that offer similar stuff.

Sorry for my ("medical") english, had a gard time translating it from my native language.


I got told me quite the opposite, from people with actual medical degrees. That multivitamin supplements aren't all that useful since the body tends to not absorb much of it and excretes it. It's better to get the vitamins from your food.

If vitamins get fully absorbed why is my piss bright green when I take a multivitamin?


Have you tried to take the vitamin with food?

Me, I split my "One A Day" type vitamin/mineral pill into two and take one half with breakfast and lunch. I avoid dinner for minerals to give any excess the best chance of getting excreted during the day when I'm pushing a lot more water though my kidneys.

As for your problem ... are you sure that's not just some dye in the pill? I don't know of anything that would be "bright green" that you'd likely be taking.


I've tried various vitamin pills in different countries. All the same.

Now I just eat lots of different fruit. No more supplements unless my doctor prescribes.
