The first thing that I would check would be the cables. Do you always use the same cable when plugging the laptop into the cable modem? Because when you're adding the router in you're also adding a second cable.

I liked Village Books, but I haven't lived up in Bellingham for well over 18 years.
I like Elliott Bay.
I like the UW bookstore, but that's largely because of their fabulous SF&F selection.
Of the big chains, I prefer B&N.
And I did mention general bookstores. Let's take Glenn Beck books as an example. Personally, I find them rage-inducingly offensive. But I'd still expect the local bookstores, even here in liberal Seattle, to carry them, and, if they didn't have a copy on their shelves, to order it for me. Should I, say, have some sort of psychotic breakdown and decide that I wanted a copy.
I would be very unhappy with a general bookstore openly refusing to carry a book solely because of its political content.
Of course humans can't be "always" available, but there can be a (self-imposed) obligation to be as available as possible. Personally, I turn my phone off in theaters and museums, and at weddings and funerals.
I've considered setting up multiple numbers, but haven't yet.
Whether or not there turns out to be some benefit for some percentage of MS sufferers, the hype, conspiracy theories, and two-bit clinics all over the place offering this procedure have done real harm. People have stopped taking medicine that has been proven clinically to help, in order to have unproven surgery.
It's easy to see why. None of the current medications cure the disease, or even stop its progression. They only slow down its progress. And they all have unpleasant side effects, and require injection (though an oral drug is becoming available soon). And even though five or ten thousand dollars (the surgery cost, when I looked it up awhile ago) may seem like a lot, the drugs seem to all cost (very) roughly twenty-five thousand dollars per year.
But that just means that there's a ready population of desperate people to exploit.
And that makes me angry.
And once I'm available 24/7 for work, I become available for anyone else that has that number.
"Plane clone" is definitely in my vocabulary, now.
AM-PM hot dogs are considerable cheaper, and more convenient.

The paper (pdf):
As far as screen size, a readable 80x25 screen and a regular keyboard so vim works normally is sufficient for on-the-go development. I can get 80x34 tiny, tiny characters on my blackberry now, or half that (or quarter that, depending on how you're counting) with characters that more suit my eyesight. And while developing on it's a non-starter, it's sure come in handy when I've been out and about and needed to fix something (using ssh for access).
You're already making close to 100k, by that account -- that's your hard work paying off after only one year.
The time to get a bump in salary is when you switch to a new job -- it probably isn't in your best interests to ask after only two months. After a year, or if you get a promotion, then ask for a raise. In fact, be sure to get a raise with any promotion -- most companies give better raises for promotions than they do during the annual raise.
As far as making time for yourself, and for your health, friends, and relationships, you have to take control of that for yourself. If you're a valued employee, you should have no trouble arranging things for the level of work/life balance you want, but your workplace is going to do it for you, you have to do it for yourself.
Also, whatever salary you make, you need a budget and a financial plan. You can make huge lifestyle improvements just by making sure that you spend your money on the things you actually want.
When I run across any sort of site like this normally, one of the first things I look at is news items (in this case the blog) and the forum. If there aren't any posts in either in the last couple of months, I usually assume it's been abandoned, so I don't dig any deeper.
Even a one or two line post every month or two reassures me that some sort of active maintenance is going on.
A nuke would be Google search blocking iPhones.
Then you could write a simple script to do an rsync-over-ssh to your server, and just run it directly from the USB drive.
It would probably be best to test it on at least both Vista and XP systems, to make sure it works.
I'd use ssh keys, so that you don't have to worry about keystroke logging. You could also make a user for it on your server side, and lock it down to just allow the rsync in.
Look into the '--link-dest' option to rsync, this allows you to really easily do incremental backups, each time you backup your new backup directory has all the files in it, but any files that haven't changed are hardlinked to the previous version, so you don't take up much disk space. Really, really cool.
Bandwidth is pooled between all of your slices.
Money is pooled -- if you pay a certain amount, you get the "annual discount", but then you can use that for paying for whichever slices each month. And you can bring slices up and down whenever you want to, and pay a prorated amount.
There's a nice API so you can automate a lot of your activities.
On the other hand, Linode does seem to be a bit cheaper on RAM and a lot cheaper on bandwidth.
The job of an IT professional is to insure the availability, usability, and safety of services to his or her users. Security is a very important part of that, but you can't let it stifle your users' ability to do their jobs.

Summary of fiduciary duty as I understand it (IANAL):
An agent has a responsibility to act in his or her client's best interest. An example is a trust, which is obligated to act in the financial best interests of the beneficiary. I believe a lawyer's duty to the client and a doctor's duty to the patient are similar. In the case of a board of directors, they have a legal responsibility to act in the best interest of the shareholders.
Adjust the sleep time based how frequent the cache updates are.
For that matter, this one doesn't have plain old RCS, which is what I use.
If I got a nickel every time someone died of cancer, I'd be rich. And probably have a massive guilt complex.
