    This is both +5 Insightful and -1 Redundant simultaneously.

  2. Re:kde5 on KDE Frameworks 5.3 and Plasma 2.1 – First Impressions · · Score: 1

    KDE5 or what ever the correct thing to call it is, is WAY more functional then kde4 when it first came out. But at this point I don't see a compelling reason to upgrade on my day-2-day machine. But dont see myself waiting too long either.

    From a user perspective, it just feels like a modern skin with super fast hassle free search. So shouldn't be to long before I upgrade (I hope).

  3. kde5 on KDE Frameworks 5.3 and Plasma 2.1 – First Impressions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Visually, kde5 is really nice, but not nice enough or stable enough or feature rich enough to upgrade from 4 at the moment.
    Im sure the people who grew up on kde 3 said the same about kde4 when it came out but early adopters like me put up with it because it was shiny and had not realised how powerful kde 3 was.

  4. Re:Why do I want to upgrade? on Is Kitkat Killing Lollipop Uptake? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Cons:
    Slow (on my nexus 5)
    Chrome crashes frequently

    Pros:
    Multiple accounts on a mobile device (not just tablet).
    Nice transitions (when they work).

    I like it on my nexus 9, I don't really like it on my Nexus 5.

  17. Re:Insert obligatory XKCD here on XKCD Author's Unpublished Book Remains a Best-Seller For 5 Months · · Score: 2

    We have used it in addition with some indesign (or was it PS?) feature to get really nice detailed points of a country that we then used for state selection of a country. That has worked particularly well. But other then that I dont really like it.

    I came across a guy who used his own customised audio responses to lead one of these callers down the garden path, he even told them up front "This is a recorded message"
