Hell Yes.
My Nexus 6p will be with me until it (or I) dies.
If they want me to buy a new phone it would have to have better life (thicker is fine with me) and less crap. The bezel can be larger ( a little) as I'm tired of trying to one-hand the phone and accidentally triggering some function.
Then there's the price. I'm not paying close to $1k for a phone and don't really want to pay a quarter of that. I paid almost full freight for my 6P but I'll only do that every five years or so.
To get me do buy more often will require VERY compelling features.
"A case can be made for having canned functions that are performance sensitive in Assembly, and then providing a C API or similar to orchestrate. In scientific computing, there are a lot of folks who know their science, but aren't that good at programming. For those the ability to describe their particular variant of a problem in a language like C, and have the complex computation execute according to those parameters inside a library is valuable"
FTFY - and brought it back to the arguments from 40 years ago.
"I'm guessing this is 9600 baud packet, which would require a PK-232 or similar TNC."
Hardware TNCs are old technology and are now far out performed by modern sound card based modems. I have a stack of them that will probably never see power again.
Take a Raspberry Pi, a cheap USB sound card and run direwolf software and you have the basis of support for multiple low speed data modes.
I've had two sleep studies. One when I was first diagnosed was on their premises, properly wired up to all kinds of gear and when it was over I received a multi-page report with charts and graphs that clearly showed the data.
The second was done by 'Snap diagnostics' at home. The gear came loose, fell off repeatedly and I spent most of the night without it attached. They then took four months to tell my doctor to increase my pressure. No data, no report, no evidence that the test even worked.
8080 processor, limited ram, ROM/EROM sockets for programs and a proto area. Hooked to a Digital Group video board and an old TV and a keyboard picked up at a surplus store in the U district of Seattle.
Monitor program and eventually code and hardware to decode Morse. All in hand coded assembly.

I second this. After the first couple of pages I almost gave up reading because of the eggnog comments. For the record, queue management in OpenWrt has done a lot to lower bufferbloat on the systems I use.
If the pictures in the article are an example of the new layout, I'm confused. I don't see a difference., All of my RPis that have screens already look like that and have the bar at the top. I've never seen anything else.
Looks to me like someone published six months early.

And if my mod points hadn't just expired I'd mod you up.
Linux users do NOT want to launch everything from a browser. Ditch the stand alone launcher and the need for the browser.
I want standalone programs for hangouts and chromecasting and that is all. I already don't like the overhead of chrome and it's crappy interface and I'm getting fed-up with the crashes and arbitrary chrome and hangout resets when I do leave them running.
Make good programs, not crappy do everything browsers.

Could WIndows and Mac ever become fully compatible with Linux software?
>It will be interesting to see how they plan to pay for it.
Mexico will pay for it

And spend our days learning, coding and building.
At least that's what I'm doing and I still haven't figured out how I ever had time for work.

I still don't think they had any.
No compiler, no editor, no tools.
Just hand written on paper and toggled in.
Happy not to be doing it now, glad I had the experience.

Fun times
in the rest of the world thanks us.
I'ts because nearly everything in the release was already known ancient exploits or techniques. None of this is new.
And because WikiLeaks, while it had potential at one time, is irrevocably tainted by the a-hole in charge.

run OpenWRT?
The first thing I did was look and see what it had for GPIOs with a small hope that it might even be at some level compatible with the RPi.
None? I might as well buy a cheap mini-itx board.
While I would love more horsepower for some projects I need GPIO's, I2C and SPI for interfacing.
This one's a non starter and certainly doesn't destroy the RPi and as others have pointed out it has no community support whatsoever.
>If these rumored specs are correct then the Pixel phone will be a winner.
The specs may be good but who the heck wants a phone branded 'Pixel'?
It sounds like it should be a childs toy or a Disney movie.
Nexus is cool, Pixel is just lame.

And a range of 10 centimeters.
So you're saying she's the perfect running mate for Drumpf?
And why looking at individual data points can mislead you.

I want the right to forget.
So when I see a politician, country, company or individual I don't like I can request that their presence be erased from the internet.
It makes as much sense as the right to be forgotten.

Instead of auto-refresh have something like Google+ uses. A small oval pop-down that says 'x new posts' that you can click on to refresh.
