Q: We need to improve the quality of our spam!

UndoRecently, I've noticed a downhill effect in the quality of spam posted on Stack Exchange websites. Take this as an example (found on Space.SE): There are a great many things wrong with this artifact: There is not one capitalized letter in the entire post. (-1 grammar point.) The only pun...

@J.Steen only if you can convince an SR mod that it's spam. @undo?

Q: How to not show some strings with android with certain condition

user3867627I have a simple yet a problem that I cannot solve. What I want to do with the program is to show the parethesis only when the string length is greater than 1 or when not null, however, the condition doesn't work . Is there some problem in my code ? String _name = json.getString("name"); ...

Wow. They even failed to make a url.
