This hasn't been my experience, but I've ridden BoltBus less than a dozen times. Every time I've had smooth sailing WiFi from beginning to end. In any case, this can be solved via an independent data plan. I'm not sure how their scheduling

Neat idea! The only issue is probably not resolvable. My area code is 847, placing me in northeast Illinois, but I live in NYC. I sent a shoutout with "Hello from NYC!" and it shows up in Illinois!

Zed, I also belong to the ranks of people who don't get offended when you insult people. But I wonder what you gain from it. 1. How do you know that the people who do get offended are the same people you don't want to work with? 2. How do y

Your first point is excellent. But I'll raise you one. What if a login/logout cycle were made generic and could include several steps. The server says "401. You've got to login. I need a %username% and %password% and then I'm going to ask y

You make valid points, but I think that some of them could be addressed to improve the current situation. 1. Allow the server to dictate to the browser some customizations of the dialog box. For instance, the server could instruct the brows

I've been using Prgmr's $36 package for quite a while now and it's worked out great. It's half the price of Linode, but you have to know what you're doing. http://prgmr.com/xen/

This is excellent advice and is actually one of the easiest ways to get an App website up quickly. Our app site took about 30 minutes to get up ( http://www.losttribeapps.com/ ), once we had the description written. You can't go wrong with
