I've switched over to using Here Maps[1]. It's fast and doesn't hide controls, unlike the new Google Maps, and you can get fully offline directions in its app by downloading map sets ahead of time. [1] here.com

Co-Mo Electric is rolling out fiber to Otterville, MO next year, after which I'm moving there. From small town to smaller town, but from slow cable to fast fiberoptic. Win! Any idea if there's some sort of meetup-alternative for

Any scripts out there that go on the offensive, rather than just opting me out? Something that sends reams of plausible data to Microsoft so that any semblance of usefulness is lost in the chaff.

So memset was crippled from Android 1.5-2.1? How did this not bring everything to a grinding halt? (Not familiar with Android's inner workings specifically, but from a C standpoint this sounds major.)
