If they'd hear your suggestions, they'd be negating all the original series boredom and dull moments of Kirk staring through a window and Spock just looking to the infinity and beyond with nothing but a pair of pointy ears to make the scene interesting... Let's face it, the Star trek franchise paved the road for some of the most boring Sci-Fi shows ever. DS9 being the best example, and Babylon 5 the runner up.
I thought most of the Nexus running KitKat weren't encrypted by default. So when you upgraded to Lollipop and encryption got enabled by default, the performance decreased. If yours was encrypted under KK as far as I know the performance shouldn't be that bad under L.
Whoever wrote this piece doesn't have a clue about how Android upgrades actually happen, or thinks everybody buys an unlocked Nexus phone straight from Google. Please go and investigate about how carriers need to certify each upgrade and how also Google has to re-certify them to make sure carriers don't put too much bloatware in them (or at least that's what we've been told). I have a carrier Moto G 2014 and I'm still waiting for the Lollipop rollout. In fact, most of the people lurking in the top Android related sites are in my exact situation, and complaining about it.
Regarding the slowness in Nexus devices after the upgrade, just disable the full device encryption and you'll have similar performance to KK.
No. The prices are going down because USA wants to appreciate the dollar, which is closely tied to the oil price. And they also want the ruble to go down, in order to discipline Russia. Saudi Arabia's regime is just being held by the US, so whatever the puppet master in the West wants the oil price to be, the puppets in the East will dance to.
Heh, take a look at Brazil's southern neighbor, Argentina. Grupo Clarín wanted to do the same here for almost 8 years in a row. There's no news anymore, just sponsored messages.
:-O I must say I'm honored to meet somebody who assisted to the first screenings... From what I've read, you are right, those subtitles weren't there in the very first incarnation of the film.
Let's face it, Christensen wasn't able to communicate a single emotion out of his plastic face. Maybe he was trying to be tragic, but what we saw was a robot saying "I'm-sorry-master-I-was-weak" with a monotone computer voice...
They needed somebody with a less expressive face than Hayden Christensen, so they pulled that whole movie around multiple Jango Fett incarnations. That made Christensen look like a mix of Robin Williams, DeNiro and Jackie Chan in comparison.
If human drama was the focus, too bad they chose that railroad tie of Hayden Christensen to play Anakin... Gosh, even Tom Cruise has more facial expressions...
The original Star Wars film started with the scrolling text and that "EPISODE IV" title as a homage to the old short-chapter Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers series Lucas used to watch in the movie theaters previous to the main feature. He NEVER had the intention to make 9, 6 or even 3 movies from the beginning.
Then he rolled that mumbo-jumbo and used the "EPISODE IV" as an anchor to justify Jar-Jar Binks and other abominations, such as Female Jedi knights and midichlorians.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Please mod this up.

What about tinfoil hats?

Saudis depend on the US to back their regime. And the US wants to hurt Russia. Do the math.

Not in the Continental US, but their support has surely brought enough murders to Irak, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine...
Darn, wish I had mod points... Somebody please mod this up!
Space: 1999 reference needed... Let's get Superman to put all the nukes on the dark side of the moon and then fire them up like firecrackers!
Might Code Siths apply?
Arrrrr mate!
so... We get to blame XZIBIT for it?
It's actually the other way around. They will be selling re-entry BBQ steaks at a sky-high price.
Not enough. Just X, Y and T wings work.
I believe they like to be called "little planets" rather than "dwarf" ones. Political correctness please!

Arrghh!!! Where are my mod points when I need them???
Kudos on a great joke!
Whoever tries to hammer reality to make it fit into that tiny box called "model" shows himself as a rather dumb person.

How long before we have a Marvel Vs Star Wars Xbox game?
