I 'fixed' this: create a shell script that pings your router every 30 seconds and add it to your launchagents. It forces the wifi to stay alive. Let me know if you'd like me to post more on how to do this. I've had this problem since Lion a

I use SwiftKey for Android for better prediction, I also use several languages and it predicts my words well. I wish there where a combination of Swype and SwiftKey however, as I agree that Swyping is a very fast way of inputting data.

The last few paragraphs are insightful, paraphrased below. "..women who applied for jobs did not make it past the phone interview. The reason was that the women did not flaunt their achievements, so interviewers judged them unaccomplished.

I often wonder what will happen to us, to our human psyche, to the media, when that threshold is crossed and we no longer know if an actor (in the objective sense) is human or not. It terrifies me and yet I hope I live to see it.

I use this when I'm in the U.S. for more than a couple of weeks at a time, T-mobile has the most flexible pre-paid plans for data that I've found. You need to call them or go to a store to buy more data though, their website doesn't accept

Do you support automated extensions? For example, if we wanted to offer pro support to users and give them a unique PIN code to reach us faster. Also, you mention SIP handsets, so I assume this would work for SIP desktop apps?

Happy with http://vpslink.com (XEN) for small services, and Linode for bigger things.

It's a very old, very small and well-preserved city, the poorer people tend to live in the villages (which are also very green, as it's rural and well-watered thanks to the mountains). Further, it doesn't have a large industrial economy.

I disagree - I think it's a cultural issue and perhaps you speak specifically of people in the upper OECD. Much of the world runs or works for a small family business where getting enough money to feed and house your family drives you to s

I either don't have time to understand, or it hasn't been made clear to me what it is and how it's going to save my life/money/family time.

I also imagine you could run some kind of flocking algorithm on the GPS units (pun not intended), where if the sheep herd suddenly scattered you'd know something was up and how herd scattering occurs. Modern herd sheep are pretty stupid ani

That was my thought exactly: are gas taxes nothing more than 'per mile' taxes? Just raise those, gas is already cheaper in California than many places. Of course, it would be nice if that money were to go directly into funding full cover pu

The bottleneck is the delivery: unless there are sufficient deliveries to be made in your neighbourhood, sending a van to just your house then back to depot is very expensive. For hundred-dollar-and-up items this works, but not for the kind
