#122Making long-distance plane travel shorter at a reasonable rate
Long version:
I live in London and home is in Malaysia, which is 13 hour flight. I would really really love an airline that can make that journey down to (about half) 6-8 hours at a reasonable rate. At the moment, flights might be somewhere between £700-£800 return - I wouldn't really mind forking out £300 more just to fly there in less time.

#124I want to be able to pause and rewind audio from my car radio.
If you google "tivo for car radio" you'll see that you're not the only one, and that there doesn't appear to be such a product yet. I see money asking to be made.

#125You silly people. Emacs has fixes for most of these problems built in since v22.

#126I seem to collect a number of, e.g., Visa gift cards that end up with just a dollar or two left on them. I would like a service that lets me use multiple cards to pay for a single online purchase.
Some online stores let you enter multiple payment methods, but (in my experience) most do not. Ideally, this would be some sort of temporary credit card number that serves as an alias to one or more gift cards, drawing from them as needed, and automatically ignoring cards once their balance reaches $0.

I believe http://inthinc.com/ and http://tiwi.com/ are trying to do just that :)
Tiwi is an insurance company? Is Inthinc an insurance company?
No but they are working with existing insurance companies to do exactly what you described. I'm not sure if its written out anywhere on their site or not. A coworker does contract work for them and told me about it.

Piggybacking off that, being able to use your cellular data service to get internet radio in your car. Much less overhead than XM and much better quality than local OTA stations.

Why only 200-300 years? Either go for the gold (live forever) or accept your mortality.
I did some research into living forever at one point. Basically, three things kill us: Disease, old age, and trauma. Disease seems beatable. Reversing old age is going to be trickier, especially as things we don't expect to fail start failing after we prolong our vitals for longer. But these both should be doable. The real killer is trauma. I scubadive. Given forever, eventually I'm going to something stupid underwat…
The real killer is trauma.
This could be solved by perfect VR and disposable bodies grown in a vat, with a remote control system instead of a brain. Your real body hibernates and your real brain can think its scuba diving, while only having to worry a little about getting eaten by a shark (it would probably hurt).
