It is a one package download that gets the beginner started with creating Android apps and has lots of editing and refactoring help. It also has a UI preview option that lets you see what your app looks like on a range of devices and lots more.
The main thing is that it promises to bring Android development into the same class as WP8 with Visual Studio and iOS with XCode.
This really is the way forward not only for Android and Java but all programming environments — More Tools!"

Really, itâ(TM)s no shock that Saudi Arabia is working on this, but it is interesting to get fairly direct evidence that itâ(TM)s happening. More to the point, if youâ(TM)re in Saudi Arabia (or really anywhere), it might be prudent to think about avoiding insecure communication tools like WhatsApp and Viber (TextSecure and RedPhone could serve as appropriate secure replacements), because now we know for sure that theyâ(TM)re watching.
For the rest of us, I hope we can talk about what we can do to stop those who are determined to make this a reality, as well as the ways that weâ(TM)re already inadvertently a part of that realityâ(TM)s making."

Hell, they installed a steam turbine from the unit at TMI that melted down over at Shearon-Harris near me!
I feel perfectly safe, and now that they've cancelled the plant expansion I am tempted to move a bit further south to get closer to Vogtle... why people hate safe and long-term cheap power is beyond me.

I think you are ignoring the external cost of keeping spent fuel from LWRs around... the volume isn't insurmountable right now because we're not generating most of our power using it. There's also the waste stream from initial processing; at least if the U.S. opts to kill SILEX after running the pilot plant in Wilmington for a while...
Supposedly Molten Salt Reactors could be built that would ease reprocessing (if the other material issues with those pesky Fluoride Salts interacting with metal can be solved of course). Even solid metal rods are better than oxide rods...
I feel like the waste from reprocessing problem is surmountable. We've suspended most research into efficient reprocessing because of the non-proliferation treaty, who knows what throwing a few dozen billion at the problem could do.
