The irony is that Airplane Mode doesn't permit you use your phone on an airplane (at least per US airline policy, despite the FAA indicating that airlines may let passengers use phones in airplane mode). At least it lets you have a conversa

We used to do this when managing unreachable firewalls. Dial out to the modem attached to the firewall console and type in that modem's password. The remote modem drops our call, then dials us back with a console login prompt. So even if

My first impression of GAE (admittedly, many months ago) was that it was very painful to deal with loading or otherwise manipulating data in BigTable. Do you have any shortcuts or advice here? Has it improved? Annoying Example: I realized
