   Most people who buy a phone don't really care about hackability, open source and custom roms. I own both a WP and a Nexus 5 and frankly, usability and consistency is better on the WP. I prefer Android for the reasons you stated, but yo

    It was shot down for not actually protecting Net Neutrality and giving companies way too much wiggle room. Reading is hard, let's go shopping.

    For fans of IntelliJ, there is the Resharper plugin (from the same guys) that brings over much of the refactorings, quickfixes and other features that you know and love from IntelliJ.

    You don't trust your ISP, so you go for the one company whose entire profit model is build around ads and profiling their users, and who is known to cooperate (willingly and/or unwillingly) with the NSA in their logging programs?

    Rainbow tables remove the need for doing hash(anyPwComboThereIs). They are huge hash->plaintext dictionaries where you just enter the hash and get the plaintext. If the website adds salt to the hashes, you need a rainbow table for every
