Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Yeah, just like terahertz technology.

Oh well, the Nexus 5 was my first Android phone after the iPhone 3GS. Android (and especially the supposedly cleaner Google builds) isn't all it's cracked up to be. 5.0 made the phone much less responsive than on 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 didn't help. I don't suppose 5.1 will either.

Jolla/Sailfish sounds like an interesting option for the next purchase.

I care about you.

That would be much better than the current offering from Stratasys, where the Mojo 3D printer is 10.000 EUR and the ABS/Support cartridges are 200 EUR each.

So why do people actually believe Google is the lesser evil? Because they allow arbitratry code execution in their mobile OS, and therefore must standup guys? They sit on so much exploitable information on a large part of the world's population. It has got to corrupt them at some point in time.

I long for an affordable, secure and non-shitty smartphone without the surveillance bits and with an actual app eco system. Yes, that's a lot to ask.

Amen to that.

How pathetic is it to realize that you could have done the exact same thing on the old phone.

"long-term stability"

Citation needed. I haven't customized the shit out of my new Nexus 5, but I have experienced the odd freeze-up, requiring a restart. I don't recall ever seeing that on my old iOS device, and quite frankly, the ability to make your UI look like even more like shit is not something I'd choose another time. And while Apple's garden may be walled, Google's is under constant surveillance, recorded for later use.

Everyone says that Android is the bee's knees. I just don't see it.

the besmirching was unintended. KSP seems like a mighty fine and educational game. Actually I'm holding off with trying it, as I need to get a lot of work done at the moment....which also explains why I'm here posting on slashdot...

Using brand value to characterize the performance of a company is roughly equivalent to using Kerbal Space Program to plan supply missions to the ISS,

I have a Nexus 5. It really isn't the bee's knees. It has more counterintuitive sub-sub-submenus than an old HP network analyzer and you need to root it to control app privileges. Lame.

I tried out the Mojo my supervising professor bought for his lab. And yeah, it's so hassle-free even the bachlor students can't seem to mess it up.

Great thing, but pricey.

That's a lot of conjecture in one post. But then again, conservative shills with their ritual hate of wealth redistribution would write something like that.

Would you care to give some examples from the countries in question? (SE, LU, FI, DK)

Hello? The least corrupt countries (Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg and Sweden) are the ones with the largest welfare systems.

Damn good question: Do Americans expect their government to steal information, business opportunities and jobs from allied countries, in other words, poop all over their so-called friends?
