A spokesman from the service told Australian newspapers that while some map makers intentionally include phantom streets to prevent copyright infringements, that was was not usually the case with nautical charts because it would reduce confidence in them.
It had nothing to do with building penetration or better range. After the earthquake everyone was outside and downtown DC has lots of close cell towers. It was pure DoS.
As for "...well, i don't know why" much of your answer lies in (not any particular order):
1. Qualcomm patents on CDMA and the way they were enforced. 2. GSM is older than CDMA and got a head start. 3. GSM 3G not only allows the simultaneous transmission of voice and data it is part of the required implementation. With CDMA 3G it is an option that not everyone supports. 4. GSM is more extensible, with things like HSPA and HSPA+ bringing data speeds up to 42 Mbps on their "3G". CDMA was much less flexible in doing that. It is 3G (3.6 Mbps) or a full upgrade to LTE.
And, just to be thorough, "GSM" is the 2G stuff only. Any "GSM" 3G is really WCDMA.
In Sprint's defense, during the earthquake that shook DC last year, theirs was the only network still functioning right afterwards.
Every other one was so flooded no one could connect to make a call. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile were totally DoSed. The one guy I knew who had a Sprint phone had no issues.
It is directly related to the number of Representatives a State has, so while it may not match directly it is very similar to population proportions.
The number of electors is 538, based on the total voting membership of the United States Congress (435 Representatives and 100 Senators) and three electors from the District of Columbia.
Specifically, the network switch, modem, router, etc. should be moved to the basement if you have one, or a dedicated area. You should almost never touch them, so get them off your desk.
Ditto for all the removable hard drives. Buy a little server with a crapload of storage (or a NAS) and put it in the basement with the network boxes. Access it remotely.
Get a wireless keyboard and mouse, hook it to a 2-port KVM. Move the computers under or behind the desk.
That way the only thing on the desk is the (wireless) keyboard & mouse, a USB hub and the monitors. Those cables should go right down behind the desk to the monitor and power strip.
If, for some reason, you use optical media frequently, plug a USB-based drive into the hub and leave it on the desk. You should almost never have to touch the computers at that point, so why have them in the way?
I'm also in Northern Virginia (westerly part), and had no issues.
My wife finally got around to getting a Virginia DL and register to vote on the drop-dead date of October 15th. We got a phone call a week after wanting to clarify her middle name (on the DL, but not on the voter registration form). Her voter registration card showed up a week after that.
She voted today without any problems. It was about a 45-minute wait at 7:30 a.m. this morning over in Front Royal area.
The U.S. party system is divided into two groups: major and minor parties.
Major parties get more than 5% of the vote at the last general election. Minor parties get less than that.
The difference is major parties are eligible for federal matching campaign funds and have easier ballot access. In order to get on the ballot in a State you have to get a certain number of registered voters to sign a petition.
Major parties have a threshold that is frequently fairly low. Minor parties often have much higher requirements, often 3 - 4 times the number of signatures that a major party candidate will need.
That is why Gary Johnson has "Give me 5%" on his homepage. He knows he isn't going to win, but is aiming to get equal ballot access and financing for the Libertarian Party for future elections. The idea is to maybe break the lock the Republicans and Democrats have on the electoral process.
If you want to see the grip of the Big R and Big D loosened, consider voting for Gary Johnson and contribute towards the 5%. If you're in one of the "undisputed" States that are firmly in the grip of Romney or Obama, consider casting your ballot for Johnson (or Jill Stein of the Green Party) even if you'd normally vote Obama or Romney. This way your vote isn't wasted.
If that break-in has a material affect on their financials, yes, they do.
The impact is the bar here. If that break-in resulted in someone pilfering a vault with the firm's operating capital, then it needs to be reported on the form.
The problem is the "War on Drugs" has done massive harm to our country. By driving up the price of something a great many citizens are willing to risk imprisonment for, it has created an orgy of violence.
There is so much money involved people are willing to commit obscene acts of violence to get their share.
Add to that the massive numbers of people in prison and the related cost for housing them is staggering. And then there is the impact to society, both families and the economy as a whole, when trying to integrate these "criminals" back in to society as productive members.
All this for what is essentially the equivalent of having a drink. Marijuana, at the very least, should be treated just like alcohol as far as legal status is concerned.
You're right in that is has to be "spun" properly to sell it to the public.
I'm voting Gary Johnson (L) because I'm impressed with his accomplishments and agree with his philosophy.
End the wars, legalize and tax drugs, practice fiscal responsibility.
He's a self-made millionaire businessman who also has an excellent record as a 2-term governor. He was praised by both Republicans and Democrats alike for being able to work with all parties and get the job done.
Actually several States have passed laws requiring Electors to cast their votes for whomever wins the popular vote in their State. Thus several ARE bound by the choices of the people. In theory, anyway.
Not necessarily. You should look at the cost of living in the area surrounding Washington, DC. The commute was a compromise allowing me to have a decent-sized home for my family, in a nice neighborhood, without paying $3,000+ a month in rent.
I'm eyeing moving, and while I'll still be 65-70 miles from work, I'll be 5 miles from a commuter train station.
I bought a 2013 VW Jetta TDI w/manual transmission a couple of weeks ago. My commute to work is 65 miles each way. 45 of Interstate highway, 20 of thru-town traffic .
I've averaged 46-48 mpg according to the dash gauge that computes this. It matches my calculations when purchasing fuel.
Pure stop-and-go, heart of Washington, DC w/construction at rush hour, brings it down to about 25-27 mpg. If I did that every day I would definitely want a hybrid or electric. But for my situation I absolutely LOVE the Jetta TDI.

I dunno. A shovel and a few of those anally administered bath salts and he might have a chance with Zombie Johhny Cochran.
Verizon is CDMA and had the same problems.

Dish owns spectrum and can provide remote backhaul.

Being unpopular sometimes has some advantages.
You forgot "3. Profit!"
Uh, banging a porn star is easy, all it takes is money. Many of them have side jobs as escorts in Las Vegas.
You DO realize porn stars are essentially prostitutes with a camera crew, don't you?
Of course, they charge more than the $20 crack-hos you're used to so you'll need to have some serious income first. Stupid details.
Now you know what that little "infinity minus 1" symbol used in math class really means.
I always wondered.
Interesting angle. If they can snap off a headshot before you hit the ground, it technically doesn't count as a suicide.
Looks to me they probably were right in picking Detroit, then.

Wow, way to look like a sore loser -- and an idiot.
As of 7:54 a.m. on Wednesday we have:
Obama: 59,516,481
Romney: 56,914,721
In case you're having problems with that, 59.5 million is MORE than 56.9 million.
The pandering to NH, IA and NV have nothing to do with Electoral votes. Electoral votes are assigned proportionally based on population.
Ever notice that the States with the most Electoral votes also have the biggest populations? Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Voted first thing this morning as well. Went fine. Bigger turnout than I was expecting at that time.

It lends them credibility. They see the success Al-Jazeera has worldwide and they're jealous.
If that break-in has a material affect on their financials, yes, they do.
The impact is the bar here. If that break-in resulted in someone pilfering a vault with the firm's operating capital, then it needs to be reported on the form.
If they stole a lamp in the front office, no.
You seem to be implying that is a bad thing. Why?
The laws and rules come from the gov't. It is just the day-to-day management that is run by a private corporation. What is wrong with that?
If they're doing something against the law, prosecute them. If they're doing something legal, but you don't like, change the law.
The problem is the "War on Drugs" has done massive harm to our country. By driving up the price of something a great many citizens are willing to risk imprisonment for, it has created an orgy of violence.
