So if you want to actually use your Android phone in the US you will be screwed since only AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM and both of them have gaping holes in their networks??
It was a fiber cut. Poor weather caused delays in getting repairs made. See: http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=9655
Given the fact that there is more than one root server I find this a bit of a non-story. Obviously the internet continued to function as it should.
Google doesn't have that accurate a source of landmarks, so they've left them as Wiki-style editable. With such a politically charged event scheduled for tomorrow, it doesn't take that many Beck-dislikers to toy with navigation... anybody trying to find the rally with an iPhone will get the wrong directions if this is allowed to stand.
Really? Then why does the map have a little box on it with the words "Lincoln Memorial" that is not what the search returns? (Not to mention all the other various landmarks marked on the map..
I suppose to some extent that would be true however "research team" isnt in the definition of emergency vehicle in most, if not all of the states they were operating in. However, seeing as how the project is now over (at least for field work) its a bit of a moot point anyway.
Unless they plan on helping with things when that tornado they're following hits a house the answer is most absolutely NOT. Some dude with a radar truck (or seven, or twelve) has no more importance than anyone else.
Apparently Dr. Wurman thinks this is Soviet Russia, after all the tornado did chase him a couple years ago. The best thing this project could have done was to NOT stick him in front of a camera. Instead he goes on "The Weather Channel" and tells people they have to give them the right of way.
Considering one of the so called profesionals referenced in the article (Wurman) got chased by a tornado a couple years ago near Stuttgart, AR? And it was all caught on tape too for his TV show STORM CHASERS.

Who signed the renewal of the Patriot Act? Barack Obama.
Seems light on proof and heavy on speculation.
AT&T and T-Mobile have areas where their coverage sucks, its a fact.

Many ISPs dont provide IPv6 connectivity and IPv6 support is still nonexistant in many routers.

It wouldn't make a difference anyway. Most people don't pull over for fire/police/ambulance anyway, I've seen it.

Who do you think provides all that tornado footage you see on the 10 PM news or on The Weather Channel?

Well then maybe somebody shouldn't try cramming 30 SUVs and 10 radar trucks on to some back road in Oklahoma...
I should note this was with only his group & Discovery Channel around...

Thats odd, I dont remember clicking post as AC.
Why should I go drop $1000+ for a SSL cert from Verisign for my website when its not passing any sensitive/confidential information "just because"?
What does Glenn Beck have to do with Obama failing in the first place?
Looks like just use to me.
There is no reason for the grid to be connected to any public data network. Period.
I've seen mammatus clouds..those aren't it.
Yes its always lovely doing a system restore because iTunes removed DEVICE DRIVERS along with itself.
From the looks of the fax machine at the firehouse its still legal.
I suppose that makes sense.
Better question is why do you need to be storing that information in the first place?
