Insufficient data to determine whether this is true in general, but of the 3 Motel 6s I've stayed in during this trip, the two that charged for WiFi, it was all but unusable; the one that offered it free, it works great.
That tends to be hotels in general. The ones that charge for wifi seem to also have pitiful amounts of bandwidth and terrible latency. Once all that's fixed, the marginal cost of an extra device is mostly so small that charging is pointless.
Captive login pages are still pretty common in city hotels though. Guess they don't really want random people walking past to use the service.

Status: Setting up my new phone. The touchscreen on my HTC 7 Pro only worked about half the time so I finally upgraded to a Samsung Odyssey with Windows Phone 8. I'm already missing the physical keyboard, especially the arrow keys to allow me to move the cursor left or right and easily correct typos without mashing backspace and starting over, but I get lots of new apps and a touchscreen that works.
BODY TOO SIMILAR BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG TOPIC AND DELETED IT.

And Gmail still can't sync to a Windows Phone, even a new one.
-
Does Windows Phone not support SMTP and IMAP?
-
It does, it even has an explicit option to sync to Gmail. But no matter what, it says invalid password. Same problem I had on my WP7. (And no I didn't forget my password.)

Have you tried resetting your password?
-
No, because my Gmail account is one of my least-used email accounts and I don't really care.

Have you tried setting it up without using Microsoft's broken "use Gmail" option?
Edit: If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you might need to set up a fake password for the app.

Why the web server admin? I DO NOT KNOW.

Captive login pages are still pretty common in city hotels though.
The two that charged used those, with 8-char random alnum (9 chars counting the non-random "-" in the middle) login keys good for 24 hours. The one what was free had the WPA(?) key printed in the in-room guest information book.

[b][i]Status:[/i][/b] I have been more careful lately. leaving the forum before they can kick me out. I hadn't made a post at Channel9 for 11 1/2 months (but I kept comming in and changing the signatures) Why can't we do that here. I'd keep posting subliminal Swamp messages.

If that doesn't work, maybe @mott555 can try turning it off and then back on again?
-

I was just going to suggest that, because the same thing happened to me when I got my new phone--couldn't connect it to my Google account, because it kept griping about hte password being wrong even though I knew it wasn't. Halfway home I remembered the 2FA.

Have you tried rebooting? Both the device and Gmail?

Status: working through the KSP career mode, which I got for Christmas. Interesting that the reentry effects can also kick in when leaving the atmosphere.

they're based on altitude.
FWIW if you are getting those on your exit of the atmosphere you're wasting deltaV fighting drag. better to stay slow wnough that you aren't getting mach effects or reentry effects on the way out of the atmosphere.
-

If I had the capability to reboot Google services, I'd just shut them off and leave them off. I hate Google almost as much as I hate Apple.
You know, I wonder if posts like this are the reason I never heard back when I actually applied for a job with Google.

Well, time to finally try the game...
Mass Effect has stopped working
How do you even fuck up this bad. I don't think I've ever had a game just outright crash on me, with no window or error message, before.

Hey, at least it put up a splash screen that let you change the resolution instead of trying to run at 640×480...

I tend to get them when using solid fuel boosters. Not really an issue when using liquid fuel engines.

I am thinking they will taste good either way, sounds wonderful to me.
