You're mostly comparing the iPhone from today, to the N9 from 4 years ago.
And yes, the iPhone did have a faster processor back then. But the N9 still managed to be faster, with true multitasking, even running 20 programs at the same time. The N9 didn't have a faster processor because it didn't need to. And somehow, I was more productive in the N9 than I ever was in any iPhone or Android phone.
Yes, it did have its own shortcomings, nothing is perfect.
And ApplePay? dafuq? That just debuted last year, dude. Are you seriously putting that on the list to compare it with a phone from 2011? But if you are, then let me tell you that in 2011, the N9 already had NFC and was able to make payments with NFC without being tied to a vendor specific way to do it, like ApplePay.
Oh yes, a large Retina display, because that's the most important feature of any phone... and a big ass screen to make it a big ass phone that does not fit in your pocket. Seriously? If that's your priority, then I can already see where this discussion is going.
NFC, for example, only became available in the last or previous generation of iPhone and its support is limited to what Apple wants. N9 had it. What about total control of your phone? Hmmm supposedly, rooting your iPhone voids your warranty and it's something you have to do with tools of dubious origins. Rooting your N9 was flipping a toggle button in the configuration panel.
That was the point of what I was saying. The OS was only dropped after the phone going on sale and only because of Elop's plans to make Nokia's meat more tender for Microsoft's teeth.
And why are you trying to contradict my comment by stating exactly what I was saying? I don't think you realized that I was actually saying the same.
Whatever happened with the OS, the distribution and the support, the truth is that the N9 was, in fact, a great phone and, IMHO, the best phone I've ever had (and believe me, because of my work, I've had quite a few and had tried several more).
My point is exactly that this phone did not get the love it should have gotten from the company that built it. It was a sturdy, fully featured phone, in some features ahead of its time, that had, back in 2011, things that only the last iPhone finally got.
You should have tried the N9. Best phone I've ever had. Had Nokia continued their line and distributed it to more countries, it would have taken a significant bite of the market.
but talking about currency, and thanks to what's happening in Greece, LTC went up 1€ (over $1) today and BTC went up over $20. Word is people are rushing to buy because they are trying to not get all eggs in the same basket and banks have their doors closed.
Bluetooth, comfortable mouse with a wheel, but a split 3rd button. Instead of a 3rd button integrated with the will, it's a smaller button closer to the palm.
because regardless of the employment contract, the new law states it that way. in any contract, either employment or others, any clause that goes against the law is automatically void and sometimes, due to the nature of those clauses, the entire contract is void.
So, the resources your company paid for to be tools for your work should be used for your leisure time? And since when does a company expect you to check your e-mail before bedtime? If it is a company e-mail, it's to be checked during work hours.

Works perfectly for me with a Radeon R7-260X.
Actually, as far as I know, that myth was already debunked. SystemD allows both binary modules and scripts.
I was under the impression that Gentoo still had OpenRC as default while allowing the selection of systemd as an alternative.

That's not how I remember it... but I can be wrong.

MeeGo Harmattan could have been considered the best mobile OS ever.
IMHO, it was amazing. And the N9's hardware too.
I think you are confusing Elon Musk (from Tesla) with Stephen Elop (the Microsoft spy that was in charge of destroying Nokia Oy from the inside).
No, Microsoft injected Elop into Nokia to make it easier to buy. Microsoft's tactics as usual.
That was the point of what I was saying. The OS was only dropped after the phone going on sale and only because of Elop's plans to make Nokia's meat more tender for Microsoft's teeth.

It's an inert type of oil developed by 3M for exactly this purpose.

Dafuq did I just read?
Since when is java easy to read?
Someone mod this guy up.
Happily.
If a browser crashes because of a site, it's the browser's developers fault.
Actually it does produce the button2 events natively. I had to use no additional software to use it. It's my everyday mouse.
Bluetooth, comfortable mouse with a wheel, but a split 3rd button. Instead of a 3rd button integrated with the will, it's a smaller button closer to the palm.
he's missing the --no-preserve-root option. that's it.
You all have your pound of flesh, just leave the man alone!
Was all over the news and the national data protection institution circulated a PDF explaining it.
trust me, it is. a big part of the new law is 50 shades of stupid.
