Thanks mate , it's a wonderful idea, you should write. I have had at least a couple dozens of article-worthy subjects while dealing with different projects. But I always doubted my language skills, even after posting this here, I was thinking it's poorly written as it got 0 votes. I think someone took strain to understand what I've written and voted up. lol  . Cheers! Looking for your Android articles!

Following on from the earlier [Silence|Music|Podcasts] thread - what do people recommend in the line of podcasts?
(I have TED and Freakonomics, and Microsoft DEV radio...anything else in a similar vein that might be of interest...anything decent about AI/Machine learning?)

Few days back I had a dilemma[^] whether to buy a new motorcycle or not. Finally, I bought it. Got the delivery yesterday. Me so happy. Here it is[^].

Congratulations! Just one question, do you go beyond 130km/h on Indian roads?
I used to, and I've been lucky enough to survive and not lucky enough to see one of my friends survive.
I was one of those road-rash morons. we used to do those racing on highways.
If you are of that type who knows what he's doing with his bike go for it, well done.
But If you got aspirations to go 100 km/h on Indian roads but don't have the expertise to handle it(Your experience would say it). I would request you to return this bike. KTM is of solid build , and got quality components, some of them made with Bosch. But how you handle it matters so much. There was a recent message on Facebook saying too many riders in India not know how to handle these bikes ends up crashing. No stunts with this on highways!

There is a track close to where I live. The motorcycle dealer often organizes track day which will be fun. There are some highways where you can 150 (and more) KM/hr sprint/burst. I would not recommend that though.
KTM kind of has a bad reputation due to number of accidents involving a KTM motorcycles (no proof). But if you look at age group of people involved, you would find that these are generally younger people who probably bought this as their first motorcycle. I have seen many on streets trying to experience race track. It is evident that they do not understand the machine, they are overconfident (stupid) about their riding skills and have no regards to their and anyone else's safety.

Agreed.
The sad thing is, these guys end up getting a bad reputation for KTM. Other local makers must be enjoying these gossips.

Congrats!
Posts like this remind me that "the beast" is languishing in a garage and hasn't seen the road in 2 years except for the annual 10-miler to the MOT station and back.

What's so hard to understand about their machine being offline and them being un-able to accept this inconvenience? 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It is written in "Drive-In Speak", makes perfect sense that way.

Normally they're able to accept the inconvenience of having you pay by card (any shop owner will be happy to tell you just what a pain in the bum it is!) When the interface isn't working, they're not! Makes perfect sense! Move along please, nothing to see here!

I've just installed the VOIP SDK from Ozeki and wondered if I had unwittingly just installed a virus since the installer was creating thousands and thousands of new files in the program's Documentation subfolder. To be more precise, when it finally finished, there are more than 14 thousand guid-named htm files alone! At first glance, it appears to be a really complete kit with examples and references, but then it should be for as much as it costs. I just need to work through an article I found here at CP to see if it's something that could change the world make some money. Oh joy...something new to learn...

I've had the blessing of having to use Word, lately -- Word 2013 & 2010, to be precise.
At home, I have Office 2003 on all my machines, primarily because of the #@$%&*^ Effluent Interface that they introduced with Word 2007 (which is unquestionably the biggest "It wasn't broken, so we fixed it!" in the history of computing), but also because they haven't fixed any bugs in the program since 2003, because they're too busy working on "GREAT NEW FEATURES!" that don't work well, to replace features that do.
Today was the absolute final straw.
Tables.
Tables in Word are bug-ridden nightmares to begin with -- for example, you have to do the WP equivalent of a hack to make them stay inside the text areas, and cell alignment is exactly the same as it has been since Word 2 (a joke) -- but the one thing in their favour was that, after you had spent countless hours to get a table to work properly, you could save it as a Style, letting you:
- insert a clone of it anywhere
- reformat other tables to be the same, just by clicking on them, then its entry in the Styles list
- export it to other documents and tables, with a few clicks of the mouse
But, rather than fix any of the bugs with tables, they've "fixed" yet another of the bits that worked well.
You've now got "quick tables", which are pretty much absolutely useless, compared to a style -- it's essentially a document that contains a bunch of tables that you can copy and paste the exact same tables out of.
There are still table styles, but they're now detached from the Styles list, because some absolute #@$%&*^ genius "fixed" that perfect functionality by making table styles a separate thing that you can only access through the Effluent Interface -- i.e. you click to get to a table style, and half your screen is covered with 180 #@$%&*^ useless styles that you don't want, will never use, and can't get rid of without a lot of pissing about.
You can't take your perfect table, where you took weeks getting around the bugs to make work perfectly, and make it a style, any more; you have to use a barely functional dialog to create the table style on the fly (and they've somehow managed to break the Table Properties dialog -- that always worked OK -- which you have to call from there).
But at least you get a table style out of it, that you can clickety apply to existing tables.
But you can't export the #@$%&*^ things to other templates and documents!
#@$% knows where they're stored, but it's not in the template, and not in the moronic "building blocks" file, so if you've got a suite of templates for a product, you have to spend forever and a day repeatedly creating table styles for each individual template!
Enough. BackOfCamel = Broken. I am soooooo sick of having to find workarounds, hacks, and fixes for all the things Mindlessoft has broken in the OS and their application software, over the last few years.
I was one of their biggest boosters, for over twenty years. Now I've really had enough of their cretinous "fixes" and "improvements".
The only thing they haven't completely screwed over is VS -- but that's only because it's what they themselves use, and not just force onto other people.
