Rooting ASUS Transformer Infinity with Jellybean without unlocking the bootloader

Programming terms you have never heard of
The title above may be a lie. It just depends on your context or situation. You may have heard these terms (especially if you read Jeff Atwood’s recent post or Dodgy Coder’s 2011 post).

The role of automation in business
Tim Ferris once said: “Never automate something that can be eliminated, and never delegate something that can be automated or streamlined. Otherwise, you waste someone else’s time instead of your own, which now wastes your hard-earned cash. How’s that for incentive to be effective and efficient?” -Tim Ferris, The Four Hour Workweek This is wise [...]

Returning MD5 instead of SHA1 from JDK 1.7 Keytool

Changing the default @author in Eclipse (IBM RAD) comments
