    promising to throw millions of dollars of upgrading at that highway

    At last count, over $600 million. By the time they are done, with cost over runs and what not else, figure on over $1 billion. What a frickin' waste of hard earned tax payer money.

    PEAR, like CPAN for Perl, lets you slap shite together very quickly. Coding scalable stuff from scratch takes time and effort. At least they didn't write it using Java... :-p

    quickly post a quick informational update to my website no matter where I am

    If your cellphone can send emails, then create an email address off of your domain for status updates. Then peck out a short script to monitor that email address and post any message content to your website.

    Not only could you use your cellphone, but a web browser or email client on almost any platform to post updates.

    Except with Microsoft, you get a choice - you can keep running Office 97 or Office 2000. With Google, someone farts out a new Gmail feature and you don't have any choice but to use it. The stuff Google bought out is decent. Stuff developed from scratch feels half-baked, incomplete and kludgy.
