If you are really serious and want to have a shelter quick, start thinking and tinkering with containers. Cheap and easy to transport. Almost rust free, easy to glue and stack together.

I bought a new car this year. To my surprise there was a bluetooth system build in. Took me a few weeks to find a new bluetooth phone and 5 minutes to get it working.
Perfect. The radio switches to stand-by and I have to press one button to pick up the call.
The phone is now constantly with bluetooth 'on'. Maybe I should not do that, but I'm living in a rural area.
"A decade ago, he said, there would have been an assumption that it might be circulated among friends. But now the assumption is that it may well end up on the internet and be viewed by strangers."
I have a lot of friends that are strangers. The meaning of the word 'friend' is changing in the digital world.
...and do your bank-business with this person via email or telephone.
And yes, you should keep notes of all the expenses you make with your credit-card and communicate this with your trusted person. A debit-card and ATM-machines work better, most of the times. (Mastercard or Visa). Use only ATM-machines in banks during office-hours.
If you want to be connected: In most of the Latin countries you can get prepaid "Banda Hancha". Most of them work with a Huawei-modem.
"Keep in mind that many places have very poor bandwidth and latency."
I don't know what this has to do with security of your data.
It is also not my personal experience. (I live in rural South Chile). To get a new release of my OS takes 24 hours on broadband. If I go to the next village, I'm ready in an hour by hooking up my laptop to the Internet-Cafe infrastructure.
If you want to keep a blog, do it via http://www.posterous.com./ Blogging via email, perfect if you don't know when you will hook up to the Internet again. Of course you use an email-client.

It is a kind of sport to know who is playing the sax whenever I hear a recording. This is not only sound but also phrasing, tempo and melody. (Some Jazz-recordings are pretty bad in sound quality, but it is always nice to hear Charlie Parker for ex.).
Most of the people I meet cannot even hear the difference between a soprano, alto, tenor or bariton sax. It is the same with the violin-family or with the flute-family. An oboe and clarinet are sounding the same to a lot of people.
They are not reading glasses in the classical sense. They are 'computer-screen-glasses'.
You should tell your ophthalmologist or optician that you want lenses to read a computer screen that is about 60 cm away (measure your normal distance). A book or newspaper you read from a distance of 30 cm.
It means that you have to buy special glasses for computer-work. If you do a lot of computer-work it is really worth it. It saves your back and good spirit.
Most ophthalmologists and/or opticians are not aware of this. But they know about the problems of performing classical musicians reading their score.
As out of first hand experience I can say that it is like that in the Netherlands, probably in EC as a whole. Also in Latin-America. I know this immediate transfer to another bank-account is also possible in Chile, probably in Argentina and Brazil too.
Each land has so its own little banking-tradition, as if money is not international. For example in Chile you can not open a useful bank-account (cuenta corriente) the first year of your legal stay. Even if you own a registered Chilean Company.
Pricing strategies vary from country to country, even when you deal with the same bank.
It is still a mess, not only how they invest, but also how they deal with customers.

You have never seen one of these?

there is no -1 button.
I suppose that this does support in a way the statement that people that have to wear reading-glasses are more study-types.

"...you could have a portable O2 enricher that lets you breath pure O2 for a little while... "
It is very well known in the divers world. With a hangover, just breath pure O2 for a while.

I think the GUI of Propellerhead (music software) is great. Just realistic amps, synthesizers and ... cables.
"By the way a philosopher once told that "evil" did not exist. That it was most of the time just a kind of hidden stupidity."

From the Article:

I had Shell solar panels on my boat. Very good and no problem to buy in the USA a few years ago.
Shell bought the solar-panel production-line from Siemens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens), global revenue of 77.327 billion euros as of 2008.

Will we see more apologies in the future?
Freedom of expression is not the same as freedom.
From a practical musicians point of view:
It is a kind of sport to know who is playing the sax whenever I hear a recording. This is not only sound but also phrasing, tempo and melody. (Some Jazz-recordings are pretty bad in sound quality, but it is always nice to hear Charlie Parker for ex.).
Most of the people I meet cannot even hear the difference between a soprano, alto, tenor or bariton sax.
It is the same with the violin-family or with the flute-family.

Music like language has a lot of redundancy.

I agree, Wave has everything to become a killer app.
Now let us see how people are going to use it.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
A real cloud doesn't know the borders of a country.
As out of first hand experience I can say that it is like that in the Netherlands, probably in EC as a whole.
Also in Latin-America. I know this immediate transfer to another bank-account is also possible in Chile, probably in Argentina and Brazil too.
