Why is this comment downvoted? Flux is the thing that I misses the most on my iPad. Moving from my Mac to my iPad at night is a painful experience due to the sudden influx of blue lights.

Just curious, what is the technology used to control browsers programmatically to carry out such tests?

That's mostly likely true. Assuming you drive 12k miles per year and gas costs $4 per gallon for your 15 mpg premium european sports car. The price for gas over 10 years is: (12,000 / 15) * $4 * 10yrs = $32,000.

It wasn't easy to mitigate: re-writes were needed because of the private apis. We ended up doing a lot of optimization to prevent a pet project from costing us too much money, which before the price increase stayed well under the charging threshold. The pricing incident was the only thing on my mind about Google's cloud because we left Google since then. I'm sure things are different now, but then I got too many other things to do before taking a serious look at ditching aws for google.

Yes that was 2011 but it scared the hell out of me. Since then all my company's project are hosted on Heroku and other Amazon technologies (Simpledb, Dynamo etc.). If I had to have a vendor lock in in exchange of faster development process, I'd prefer to get locked in with Amazon other than Google after that GAE pricing incident.

Any one has any experience using an alternative keyboard layout in a qwerty world? How does it fit?

I'm using Namecheap and GoDaddy. Both works functional wise. So given the reputation Namecheap has and GoDaddy has not, I will go with Namecheap for the future.

But Volvo has a third turbo that powers the other two turbos. The mustang's turbo is probably a conventional turbo on a 4 cylinder.

Honest question: aside from the outside looks, what's so bad about this vehicle? (I started driving in the year 2006 so Aztek has been off market for sometime.)
