I do not think any hacking is necessary. You can subclass the LWTUI Component class and then you can pain whatever you want on to the graphic context of the component. You do not get the native lcdui.Graphics object but an object with a same interface that is easy to use.
If you really need to pass a lcdui.Graphics ... |
If compression is necessary do it before you encrypt. |
AES does not expand the data, except for a few bytes of padding at the end of the last block.
The resulting data are not compressible, at any rate, because they are basically random - no dictionary-based algorithm is able to effectively compress them. A best practice is to compress the data first, then encrypt them. |

The best you can do is compare the 2 query outputs based on a given set of inputs looking for any differences. To say that they will always return the same results for all inputs really depends on the data.

Maximizing an Emacs frame to just one monitor with elisp |

I use [maxframe.el][1] to maximize my Emacs frames.

No VM I know of will store an Integer[] array like an int[] array for the following reasons:

Because it is easier to write and maintain code that uses Java, C#, JavaScript, etc. to deserialize an XML stream, transform it, and export the desired output, and XSLT offers no substantial performance advantage.
