   So um, early adopter, I have a Mozilla Flame as my daily phone. Will it continue to receive (nightly) build updates to gaia and gecko plus security fixes as Firefox OS diversifies and matures?

   I've bought several things from Dick in the past 12 months, mainly click-and-collect, where they're competitive with other online retailers when specials are posted via ozbargain. Or a wireless mouse that's cheaper than the s

   A 3 Ghz P4 from 2005 way well blitz a Core-M from 2015 on certain single-threaded benchmarks. But if you're concerned about energy bills, emissions, fanless computing or all day battery life then performance per watt matters even on x8

   I can recommend Daniel Zachariah in Belgrano. He's an English bloke who runs a 2nd hand bookshop out of an apartment. There's a good selection of English and other foreign language paperbacks.

    Thanks M$ :) This is a good move if they're hoping to entice Eclipse users on *nix to migrate from the JVM ecosystem to CLR. Deploying Windows programs on FreeBSD is one thing but if they want to grow their developer base, they need to

    Unless it works flawlessly under Wine, you still need to run it within a Windows desktop. A Windows 8.1 Pro OEM license costs around $150, which if you're building a FreeBSD desktop from scratch won't come included in the purchase

    Can the WebIDE be made self-hosting; on the device itself? i.e. connect up your Flame to a HDMI display via MHL and attach a mouse and keyboard through a powered usb hub. No desktop required!

    Perhaps the Welsh emigrated here more prevalently than anywhere else (excluding the Welsh-speaking enclave of Patagonia!) Anyhow, its guesses: Nationalities: 1 Aus 2 NZ 3 Welsh Native Language: 1 English 2 Dutch 3 Swedish I'm not sure

    Bleeding edge requires a bleeding edge browser. If you want cross-device compatibility, use a mature API like Cordova.
