Our Great Successor brings another glorious triumph to North Korea, although it is shared with Somalia and Afghanistan - most corrupt country.

For those who didn't make the cut - there's always next year.

The countries at the top and bottom don't really surprise me, other than I thought DR Congo would be lower.

I need to get the Red Star operating system! Does it crash as often as Windows?

It never crashes, it just gets more down to earth.

Red Star is based on Linux. So...it definitely has the potential to be more stable than Windows. On the other hand, it's not hard to configure a Linux build in such a way as to make it complete garbage (or maybe it's just me).

It would be really funny if most computers in North Korea were running a more stable operating system than most computers in the rest of the world. Well, I think it would be funny, at least.

Strip out all the extraneous garbage loaded on so many computers and it might not be so difficult.
Is there such a thing?

Congratulations to North Korea on the successful launch of the second version of their Kwangmyongsong-3 [Unha-3] satellite from the Sohae Space Centre!

Wow! NZ is one of the three perceived least corrupt!
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.
