my family would often chide me for using "big words"... The truth is, I was just trying to relate something I'd learned... That sounds terrible. You are not allowed to be yourself around your family. It must've

This is not a good example, because in this example, Mockito is used to mock a very simple class (DateTime), which should not be mocked at all. It is also used to verify that the dependent object is called exactly twice, which may be unnece

I think Dolphin is noticeably faster than Chrome and I appreciate the fact that it supports plugins. However, I recently noticed that it auto plays HTML5 videos which is quite annoying, whereas Chrome requires a manual "start" (at least on
