Does the author realize that the actiontec router can be disabled and used just like a cable modem? That's what I do at home and use a WRT54G instead. I also use opendns instead of Verizon's DNS servers. Latency is pretty low for me.

I'm gonna go ahead and add DC to the mix. It has 3 airports, an excellent metro and bus system, Verizon FIOS, relatively cheap out in the exburbs or apartments in formerly sketchy neighborhoods, and great proximity to NYC. The only issues a

A Taxi service site and iPhone app. Lets you send your current location to the cab company with your iPhone and then track the cab as it arrives. Maybe even offer a prepay option so you can pay with your paypal account and just read off a c

As a student I say "Yes!" Just require a valid .edu address at sign up and send a confirmation email. Allow students to put in their edu email as well as their personal email because I really only use my personal account, as do most of my f

Concurred. It took me a while to find that saved thing though, it should be more prominent.

Be wary of the Indian companies that will do it for pennies per hour. Sure it's cheap but the code is crap, or even worse than crap: they will just slice your PSDs and use Adobe's built in web page creator which will mean your site will con

Been using it for the past week for a client's site. All of the themes and plugins I've thrown at it have worked perfectly. Nice job!

Maybe invest $100-200 in microloans but Kiva at least doesn't pay you any interest on the loans. I don't know about the other two organizations. These are different from charities in that they aren't tax deductible so if that's important fo

This is the one I finally decided on and signed up for today, thanks! I'd heard about it before and it looked like a pretty good deal. What made me finally decide was that they had a fairly low minimum deposit, low fees, and they let you wi

Thanks, on my short list. The site doesn't seem to work quite right in Safari but that's a non-issue for me.

Thanks for the site, it looks great and it would definitely be my top choice but unfortunately they require a minimum deposit of $3500 and I can't afford that much right now (college student, no income).

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not going to be trading that frequently. I just want to make sure that the brokerage I use doesn't charge excessive fees because I will be trading with such a low amount of money for a relatively short term. I'l

Definitely charge people extra for making intranet sites IE 6 compatible because they have control over that and they should upgrade. Otherwise you can consider a small surcharge for IE6 on internet sites but it's kind of unfair to punish y

This is cool and it isn't too simple. I agree though that it needs some optional text boxes to enter a title, location, date, and time. Maybe keep the current simplicity but: -Make a logo for the top right corner with your branding -Allow u

Is anyone else sick of Smashing Magazine? All of their posts are just lists and there doesn't seem to be any real content behind them. This one made some good points at the beginning about usability but then a bunch of their examples contra

Too bad they're shutting down their services, they were really cool although I never really used them consistently.

Because this is a service most places online will give you quotes for free. Just run a standard google search ( http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&#38... ) and get quotes from the top couple results. I haven't personal

Can you make the read links darker? I'm having some issues seeing them on my new laptop because the screen is glossy and the contrast isn't as good.

That's a cool thing to know, thanks. You could definitely do some viral marketing this way if you were more devious than I.

That's why most of these tests are made so that they give more false positives than false negatives. Something about the alpha value that I learned a long time ago in statistics.

I've never put this much effort into my 404 pages. Usually it's just a "The page you typed in cannot be found. Please check the spelling or use the search box below if you need help finding it." Or something like that at least.

I'd test that in a heartbeat. It shouldn't be too hard to get it by the FDA. Sounds like a great idea, I already get my blood sugar, cholesterol, white blood cell count, and a few other stats tested by my physician, why not put another drop

I always wondered why nobody has made an Erlang-based server OS yet. It seems perfect because from what I have seen you can make code changes in realtime. That's just my opinion though and I haven't learned Erlang so I'm not gonna be doing

Really cool. I've been waiting for an easy to use spreadsheet app that would let me do this for a while without having to figure out formulas or vbscript. This looks useful and I'll definitely use it as needed in the future. What's your bus
