I wish I could find a phone with a keyboard that did not suck. It seem they only put them on low end devices though or bootloader locked which is even worse.
Something marked NEXUS should get much quicker updates. Provided you are buying it from the play store and not a carrier branded version. All carrier branded phones lag behind though.
SD cards are going away on phones. They are slow and lead to customer complaints. Besides USB on the Go basically obsoletes them. Removable batteries mean a battery door. This makes the phone thicker.
Getting one phone out on a lot of carriers is a good move, but lets see if they can keep up with updates. So far HTC phones have been some of the worst at getting updated.
Is the bootloader unlocked? Is S-off easy to obtain?
Here in the real world using global variables gets you fired. Even worse are the PHP dunderheads who think that turning on register globals is a good idea.
The biggest reason with this class of cards is always epeen. The next biggest might be that with ps4 and xbox720 on the horizon and if money is no object you will not have to upgrade for a long time.
It stores the remap info in reserved blocks. Yes they could wear out, but since it is so little it is unlikely. Most of these drives have a lot of reserved blocks.
Try understanding how these wear leveling systems actually work.
I am sorry I was not more clear, I did not literally mean no swapping ever.
What I really meant was I expect on average my phone with only 1GB of RAM to swap more than my servers which I add RAM to if I notice considerable swapping. Unless I am limited by cost of course. These days though 128GB of RAM is pretty cheap in the server world.
Any reason you ignore wear leveling that all modern SSDs do? The drive controller will move the superblock, if that is the most written block, around. It will remap it so the OS is none the wiser.
Cheaper? Maybe per GB but not for the IO. How many platters am I going to have to raid to get even near what a single SSD can do? Am I ever going to be able to get random reads that high and fit it all in one WTX case?

Since when is it?
I drink it all the time, I don't generally do immoral things.
Or he has any phone other than that one. My GF has a Rezound and it is on 4.0 still.
And you get to run an out of date OS that you can't update yourself!

They made the sensor bigger for a given resolution.
That is a big image quality improvement.
I don't carry my camera everywhere with me. My smartphone is always with me.
What are you doing to them?
Replacing the battery once like that should still not be that hard to do. I have done that to several ipods over the years.

Personally neither is a deal killer.
I mean the crimes that reflect this morality.
Yes some crimes are not immoral and some are more immoral than others.

Ha, yeah right. We don't even have secure embedded devices. We have plenty of buggy, crashy, insecure ones though.
I am not sure what metric you are using, but most programmers are not employed writing embedded systems.
I would imagine crime rates would be one direct measure.
Lead Paint is pretty sketchy sounding anyway, most folks don't eat paint chips. Lead in gas however you have no choice to not breathe.
Which is not what 99% of code does.
I was speaking generally, and generally globals are a bad idea.

You could just save the money and the electricity.

Magnetic tape is more reliable and slower.
Lots of computers over the years booted from magnetic tape.
It stores the remap info in reserved blocks. Yes they could wear out, but since it is so little it is unlikely. Most of these drives have a lot of reserved blocks.

I don't expect most servers to swap at all. If your server is swapping, buy more ram. Cell phones are still ram starved enough to need to do that.
So then you only use magnetic tape for storage?
How long does it take to boot from that?
I have backups, so I can always restore.
Cheaper? Maybe per GB but not for the IO.

That is not a citation. That is you again making some claims. Please do provide a link to a source for this.
I am not disputing the accuracy, just that it coming from an AC does not inspire confidence.
