The difference is the base of the Project Ara phone, the exoskeleton, is only $15 to replace. So if they change that, you're looking at paying $15. With PCs, the base still costs $150-200 in most cheap options and significantly more in

I used it and submitted bug reports to help the team find issues. I hate Windows but am forced to use it in certain cases. While Windows 8 touch is not huge, I would prefer to have options other than IE for myself and other users.

I linked to an article that explains what it is and left it to you (the reader) to decide if it's good or bad. I believe it is a very bad thing.

If only every browser implemented it...but IE 7,8,9 are stuck on the old APIs. They're a large percentage of all users.

That's not how flat ui design works. You can make single-color boxes and it won't look modern. Flat UI is about beautiful color palettes that are well matched and which convey the proper information without over embellishing. A fe

php.net allows users to post answers and examples of code throughout the website. Likely, one of the submission forms has/had a hole that allowed someone to submit or alter actual JS code.

I don't understand why anyone's site is only in one datacenter. i thought the point of AWS was that it was distributed with fault tolerance? Why don't they distribute all the sites/apps across all their centers?

He uses Windows so I assume he doesn't know much about Linux Distros. You're correct, Klipper was the first thing I thought of as well. I assume his OS experiences are: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android judging by his info posted.

Can someone explain how this is distributed and not using a central "authority"? I know it caches things locally, but it still requires Mozilla's Persona.org servers, correct? And you need a password that Mozilla stores, so aren't their ser
