I always think replacing traditional roofing materials with something that generates solar energy and keeps the rain off, makes for a good idea. You can get solar tiles, but I have never seen them in the UK. I have seen houses with panels

I think it's an inherent usablity issue. The two functions I'd like from a smart phone (other than calls and SMS), is mapping and the odd web lookup. I've currently got a Blackberry as a hand me down with the old form facto

I've always hated the www prefix. But understand the technical gains of using one. If you are a domain owner, subdomains give you quite a bit of flexibility. You can always use a different prefix than www.

I'm on Linux with Xfce. I have tried and failed to get a dark theme working. It's difficult to match across toolkits. I've had web browsers that default to white screen flashing on new tabs, and most don't respect your

As a consumer you still get that sinking feeling of something that doesn't quite work. it's all glitchy. Has Bluetooth been bettered? I was hoping V4 would iron out wrinks. Wireless applications that are simple to use could be r

I mainly use Debian stable and Xfce, the latter of has a few annoying issues. I bought a cheap windows box, and hoped to use it as a work machine as you have described. But I have networking issues and other annoyances with my Intel wirel

I wouldn't say I was representative of the market. But I would like a good product. How do you define the market?

I think you need an AWS account. Then login, go to dashboard->route 53. But there is no option for the .bot tld yet. Perhaps keep an eye on this list: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide&#x
