LTE has NO CONNECTION to CDMA other than having an upgrade path for carriers, easier for those on GSM and WCDMA (aka UMTS).
Verizon is:
EVDO-0 & A Data 1xRTTT - Voice
LTE is the 4G standard which has an upgrade path from CDMA for the carriers.
LTE is essentialy a PURE IP network for all voice and data. Right now the voice part is in flux as the bickering committee members can't haggle out a standard for voice.
VZW will be using its CDMA 1x network for voice for quite a while, while the LTE network for data and evetually voice is built out.

Why I HATE and WILL NEVER USE TMobile
1) "* Great coverage in US. Every city I've been to has had solid coverage. I've only been to fairly large cities though."
May have coverage for the snooty city slickers, but where I live and go I may as well carry a concrete block and string around as it would be more useful
2) "GSM network so most phones can be used overseas-- "
GSM . . . HATE IT HATE HATE IT HATE HATE HATE !
And most of TMobile if not all of it is now UMTS which is WCDMA, so thats better, at least its in the CDMA family now, but I hate GSM and its Eurotrash baggage.
They're total lack of meaningful coverage is the deal breaker.
While I agree that if the world doesn't want the US to help it in any shape or fashion any more... NO PROBLEM.
We will pack up our !@$! and go home! Close all embassies, dump the UN and that includes KICKING THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND RECLAIMING THE LAND IN NY!, dump NATO, but the problem at this point..
If you wanted to make stuff in the US who is going to make it at the same price point so costs do not dramatically increase?
Theres a reason stuff is $3.00 at Walmart or any other retailer, its made in countries with very lax to no labor laws where persons work for $2.00/MONTH if that. And you need look no farther abroad than to the south of the US for examples! Compare that to a $8/HR MINIMUM US WORKER. Thats an astronomical change in labor costs alone. Lets look at another item... steel. The majority of steel production companies are controlled by FOREIGN NATIONALS, not the US. USX, barely makes steel, they do more chemical work than steel thats why they changed from US Steel to USX. Lets look a semiconductors if the US is not careful the ability to make critical defense parts will be in the hands of questionable "allies" at best.
I am all for taking our ball and toys and going home, and when the next this or that happens, say I don't know like, Hati. We tell the world to !$!@$ off! And deal with it yourself! Unfortunately the reality is its not possible with out a severe economical meltdown.
"..., bringing Humphrey Bogart back to life, or making Clint Eastwood look 35 again. "How about another Dirty Harry movie where Clint looks the way he looked in 1975?" Cameron suggests. "Or a James Bond movie where Sean Connery looks the way he did in Doctor No? How cool would that be?"' The article goes on to quote Cameron as saying you would still need actors to play the roles, and that an ethical line needs to be drawn somewhere."
I say NO!
If I want to see a Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry movie I will get the DVD out.
Same goes with Bogey! Bond or anything else you dolts might dream up....
Go do something original for once instead of the same old tired stuff. And head my warning LEAVE THE REAL CLASSIC CINEMA ALONE! Just like turner and his idiotic "colorization" stint just LEAVE MY CLASSICS ALONE! ! ! !
Some of us don't think your tech is so great or useful, or the movie was all that.. that would be ME.
"... and that an ethical line needs to be drawn somewhere."
There IS and SHUOLD BE, and this proposal CROSSED IT, no BLEW PAST IT!
I read TFA, and on the chance that I would ever even set foot in a movie theater, if the available choices are:
Its Complicated Nine Sherlock Holmes Alvin avatar
That list is pretty much the order I would go see them and the 3 DVD's I will purchase along with about 60 others from the TCM catalog (Thats about the ratio of REAL movies to old movies in my collection and purchases. Matter of fact I would rather see Alvin on a SAT MATINEE with all the carpet munchers than avatar!
Even if I was given FREE PASSES with FREE POPCORN AND DRINKS and the ONLY movie choice was avatar as the others were full, I would LEAVE!
Why lets see:
Its Complicated - It appears entertaining, Lake Bell, Zoe Kazan
Nine - Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penlope Cruz, and it appears entertaining
Sherlock Holmes - Looks interesting, Rachael McAdams
Alvin - stupid gimmick from the song, does not look entertaining, doesn't appeal, but would be a better waste of my time and money
Lets look back at Camerons other $1B baby, Titantic. The only reason to watch is Kate Winslet. Every one knows the story. Boat hits iceberg and sinks, thousands die. Told, retold, re-retold, re-re-retold, re-re-re-re-retold.... enough already....
You can throw all the $$$ of CGI and other FX at things and I will still rather watch a 30-50's B&W film on TCM. Better story, better acting, better actresses, and less over blown wasted FX when its not needed.
If I want 3D I will get my blue & red glasses out and watch The Creature from the Black Lagoon or any of the other B 50's 3D movies. THEM! is a better SciFi movie.
The at the time PTT's of Europe were hell bent on using ANY TECH OTHER THAN US BASED CDMA.
There was not selection based on merits of the the tech of the time.
Well that didn't work so well as they ended up using CDMA any way when they went to UMTS aka W-CDMA.
Had Europe not been so short sighted to see better tech for the anti US fervor there wouldn't be the issues today of CDMA v. junk GSM. Every one would be on CDMA and better off!
Now we will have to wait till LTE, and maybe finally one standard will take over. Although at the rate the Voice side of the LTE group is moving it may never happen. And most of the US carriers are not going to trash their existing CDMA infrastructure. Most voice will probably remain on CMDA till LTE is well entrenched on the data side. So were likely to see CMDA voice and LTE data phones and then a slow migration to pure LTE as infrastructure and networks are upgraded.
My idea of business casual is NOT EVEN CLOSE to what is permitted.
AND NO "casual Fridays."
The NO list:
NO THONGS (These are shoes for you whippersnappers!)/Sandals/Flip Flops! ! ! This is NOT THE !$@!Y$%!@^$!% BEACH! NO DEMIM EVER PERIOD!
Women: NO PANTS, EVER! Skirts and Dresses ONLY!
NO BARE LEGS! You need to learn the words: TIGHTS, STOCKINGS, PANTYHOSE.
I work in a field which for 90% of the employees a UNIFORM is required. I have the option, to wear the uniform or PROPER BUSINESS APPAREL. 95% of the time I wear the uniform, The remaining 5% is dress shirt, dress pants, tie, dress shoes. I keep a co-ordinating suit jacket at the ready if I need it. This is FAR ABOVE "PROPER BUSINESS APPAREL" for my agency. As management I need to set the bar, others need to live up to. What is "acceptable" to the agency is far more generous. I make it clear when new hires start what is considered acceptable in the department and what the agency "lax'ly permits."
Why? The uniform is provided to me, free, no cost,none. This includes dry cleaning. Its simple, closet of shirts, closet of pants, all the same. Pick one of each. DONE!
Embrace the uniform! Make getting ready for work easier.
You could be standing under the tower and your phone not work.
Its called site geometry you actually could have a dead spot in certain areas that are very close to the tower and even in plain sight, including directly at the site.
Just because you see one tower, its not ONE cell site. Depending on the location and the needs for that are it could be upto 6 sites depending on the sectorization used at that location. Most are 3 at a minimum, 120 degree sectorization. As you move into the urban area, and to meet other coverage needs it can go down to about 60 degrees.
this applies to all RADIO systems, which cell phones are nothing more than radio systems.
My favorite and would still be in use if the CMDA version was more widely released, the Original Motoroal 8000UH Brick phone. Thats what all phones should be made like, to this day.
If I need to send an email I will use the device for that,a COMPUTER. A computer equipped with a wireless data card of some sort.
The correct device for the activity at hand, so a phone for a phone, a computer for a computer task.
The more you add to a "phone" the more you get away from its core operation and need and its inability to keep up with that task.
How I use a cell phone.
1) As a phone. GASP! The horror, and "oh the humanity of it!" 2) As a alpha pager. SMS has pretty much run most of the paging carriers out of business except in some of the rural regions I go to where a POCSAG pager on 152.480 is all that will cut it, as even a cell phone is useless.
Any thing else I will pull out the correct device
1) Laptop with wireless data card for web, email, etc.. 2) 2 Way radio for the various radio networks from analog conventional simplex to digital encrypted trunked. 3) 9mm Sig 4) 12 gauge S&W

Currrent fav: KMint aka Linux Mint CE Elyssa
Up and coming fav: KUbuntu Karmic KDE 3.5.10+ Edition
For work: I have standardized on CentOS 5.4, while I dislike RPM based systems the vast majority of servers and hosting centers etc.. are based on this so it makes it easier just to go with the flow on this in the server area. None use X so its not a big deal.
1) i[diot]phone 2) droid 3) any other smart phone.
I have had the following cell phones since 1985
1) Motorola in car unit 1a) Motorola 8000UH aka BrickPhone at the same time as above
2) Nokia CDM980 or 980 something to replace the above two when CDMA started to take over 3) Audiovox 9000 4) Audiovox 9155gpx 5) LG Decoy, only since it was $20 last year for a special or something.
The ONLY REASON I ever got rid of the 8000UH was the CDMA version never was produced in quantity and at the time Bell Atlantic would only sell dual mode AMPS/CDMA to replace it.
If the Brickphone were available today, I would have it.
If any wants to know what a decent phone looks like: Motorola rs765 (This being used by SoLinc for their iDEN network, sprexhell, has stated they will only offer the rs765IS which is only 0.6W v. the 1W of the rs765, buts never really made a public appearance for sprexhell.)
See it, HAS ANTENNA ON IT! Why its a RADIO! Its not magic that makes it work.
The current Decoy has a :
1) Camera - I've taken 10-12 pix in total since I've had it. So thats 1 month. 2) web - don't use it - laptop with data card, its a phone! 3) Inbound SMS - get tons! I use it as a replacement for an alpha pager, which has better coverage in most places than even the remaining paging carriers. Except in the one region I travel there is still a regional network on 152.480 that HAS FAR BETTER COVERAGE than cell phones, and any of the larger national paging carriers. 4) Outbound SMS - about 6 in Jan. 2009 during a business trip. Otherwise NONE. 5) Ringtones purchased - ZERO 6) Wallpapers purchased - ZERO 7) games/applications purchased - ZERO 8) GPS - REALLY! -NOT! - I have a stand alone GPS, no fee. 9) Numbers programmed - 12,
a) times numbers programmed are dialed, rarely! I normally dial all numbers from memory, MINE! 10) bluetooth, its included in the decoy. Use - NEVER!
Some of us have a cell phone for what it is, A PHONE! Nothing less, nothing more.
I wouldn't purchase any thing from crapple for the draconian control on all their products.
and there is items shown that may not be real, fake, prototypes, etc.... SHOCKING!
NOT!
Go to any trade show and its more smoke, mirrors, dogs and ponies than you can count. So NVidia said it was a real card, big whoop. Wrong, unethical, sure, but go to any trade show for any industry and you will see the same crap. What do thing goes on in all those closed door rooms? I've been pitched plenty of stuff I know doesn't exist or they are showing fakes etc. for all kinds of stuff, its just the nature of the beast.
I read the TFA, and quite honesly the site has an anti-NVidia bias to start.
TFA forums references "analysts" and their issues... well I don't give a damn what the analysts think. stock analysts are some of the biggest problems with the financial markets and society in general, and a major reason for the crap in the US, at least.
NVidia is what I purchase and always will. I specifically choose NVidia over ati and intel. I don't care for either companies products in any form CPU, GPU or chipset.
NVidia and AMD (yes I am aware who owns ati)
Well up front, I HAVE an ANTI ati bias. I've had nothing but crap from their drivers since the days of the all in wonders started, and then they drop perfectly good cards from the Linux drivers, because they can't be bothered. Screw you ati!

LTE has NO CONNECTION to CDMA other than having an upgrade path for carriers, easier for those on GSM and WCDMA (aka UMTS).
Verizon is:
EVDO-0 & A Data
1xRTTT - Voice
LTE is the 4G standard which has an upgrade path from CDMA for the carriers.
LTE is essentialy a PURE IP network for all voice and data. Right now the voice part is in flux as the bickering committee members can't haggle out a standard for voice.
VZW will be using its CDMA 1x network for voice for quite a while, while the LTE network for data and evetually voice is built out.
Here's why I like TMobile:
1) Ads - Catherine Zeta-Jones-Douglass
2) Parent Company - DT
Why I HATE and WILL NEVER USE TMobile
1) "* Great coverage in US. Every city I've been to has had solid coverage. I've only been to fairly large cities though."
May have coverage for the snooty city slickers, but where I live and go I may as well carry a concrete block and string around as it would be more useful
2) "GSM network so most phones can be used overseas-- "
GSM . . . HATE IT HATE HATE IT HATE HATE HATE !
And most of TMobile if not all of it is now UMTS which is WCDMA, so thats better, at least its in the CDMA family now, but I hate GSM and its Eurotrash baggage.
They're total lack of meaningful coverage is the deal breaker.
If you need coverage in rural areas, then you have one choice. Verizon.
You want "cool" phones... then you can take your pick pf any other than VZW, and LOOSE COVERAGE.
The two carriers to avoid at all cost:
TMobile
Sprint
In that order. TMobile - NO COVERAGE, Sprint CDMA next to no coverage, nextel(Sprint iDEN) - limited covea
If you want to get decent voice and data (3G) data coverage, then your choice is clear, and ONLY: Verizon.
Want crap service, crap coverage, pick any of the others.
While I agree that if the world doesn't want the US to help it in any shape or fashion any more... NO PROBLEM.
We will pack up our !@$! and go home! Close all embassies, dump the UN and that includes KICKING THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND RECLAIMING THE LAND IN NY!, dump NATO, but the problem at this point..
If you wanted to make stuff in the US who is going to make it at the same price point so costs do not dramatically increase?
Theres a reason stuff is $3.00 at Walmart or any other retailer, its made in countries with very lax to no labor laws where persons work for $2.00/MONTH if that. And you need look no farther abroad than to the south of the US for examples! Compare that to a $8/HR MINIMUM US WORKER. Thats an astronomical change in labor costs alone. Lets look at another item... steel. The majority of steel production companies are controlled by FOREIGN NATIONALS, not the US. USX, barely makes steel, they do more chemical work than steel thats why they changed from US Steel to USX. Lets look a semiconductors if the US is not careful the ability to make critical defense parts will be in the hands of questionable "allies" at best.

Don't use win!
The lead by example and switch to a KDE 3.5.10 distro on all their systems.
Friends don't let friends use gnome or KDE 4.x!
Who would have guessed that there would be spotty coverage on TMobile.
More like NO COVERAGE.
They are DISTANT 4th in the US marketplace among national level carriers.
There are regional carriers which have far more coverage in their region than TMobile as a whole.
Next time pick a REAL CARRIER, translation VERIZON!
"Mozilla isn't going in the right direction. What do you think ?"
They have not been since netscape.

Sure is....
Sherlock Holmes would squeak by Alvin... just barely.
This movie is a dud, and one I am sick and tired of hearing about!
Don't care that its from Cameron, didn't care about those 3 idiotic ring movies and books and don't care about this.
Only thing its soaring towards is /dev/null

The decision has been made that as things are upgraded, Linux will replace win on desktops, and in the server area. NOTHING BUT LINUX based comes in.
So that means NO vb, no .net (WE SPECIFICALLY BAN mono/moonlight bs), no .asp.
To get cross platform programs, that means Java, and thats where we are going.

Currrent fav: KMint aka Linux Mint CE Elyssa
Up and coming fav: KUbuntu Karmic KDE 3.5.10+ Edition
For work: I have standardized on CentOS 5.4, while I dislike RPM based systems the vast majority of servers and hosting centers etc.. are based on this so it makes it easier just to go with the flow on this in the server area. None use X so its not a big deal.
since you on VirOS and not Linux you will need to look at reverse vnc

UltraVNC is the better product of the virOS based VNC.
Nope, not interested in :
1) i[diot]phone
2) droid
3) any other smart phone.
I have had the following cell phones since 1985
1) Motorola in car unit
1a) Motorola 8000UH aka BrickPhone at the same time as above
2) Nokia CDM980 or 980 something to replace the above two when CDMA started to take over
3) Audiovox 9000
4) Audiovox 9155gpx
5) LG Decoy, only since it was $20 last year for a special or something.
The ONLY REASON I ever got rid of the 8000UH was the CDMA version never was produced in quantity and at the time Bell Atlantic would only sell dual mode AMPS/CDMA to replace it.
If the Brickphone were available today, I would have it.
If any wants to know what a decent phone looks like: Motorola rs765 (This being used by SoLinc for their iDEN network, sprexhell, has stated they will only offer the rs765IS which is only 0.6W v. the 1W of the rs765, buts never really made a public appearance for sprexhell.)
See it, HAS ANTENNA ON IT! Why its a RADIO! Its not magic that makes it work.
The current Decoy has a :
1) Camera - I've taken 10-12 pix in total since I've had it. So thats 1 month.
2) web - don't use it - laptop with data card, its a phone!
3) Inbound SMS - get tons! I use it as a replacement for an alpha pager, which has better coverage in most places than even the remaining paging carriers. Except in the one region I travel there is still a regional network on 152.480 that HAS FAR BETTER COVERAGE than cell phones, and any of the larger national paging carriers.
4) Outbound SMS - about 6 in Jan. 2009 during a business trip. Otherwise NONE.
5) Ringtones purchased - ZERO
6) Wallpapers purchased - ZERO
7) games/applications purchased - ZERO
8) GPS - REALLY! -NOT! - I have a stand alone GPS, no fee.
9) Numbers programmed - 12,
a) times numbers programmed are dialed, rarely! I normally dial all numbers from memory, MINE!
10) bluetooth, its included in the decoy. Use - NEVER!
Some of us have a cell phone for what it is, A PHONE! Nothing less, nothing more.
I wouldn't purchase any thing from crapple for the draconian control on all their products.
PLEASE get KDE 4 back on track to being as useful as KDE 3.5.10 and take sagio out and bury him and the dolphin with the fishes!
KDE is bar none the best X WM out there, but KDE 4.x is doing nothing but hurting all the ground made up during the 3.5.x releases.
NO, I do NOT want my desktop as a widget
NO, I do NOT want dolphin as anything except as tuna bait
The "look" of KDE is just fine, move on!
Konqueror is the BROWSER and the FILE MANAGER, now RESTORE all the features you ripped out of Konqi so it can be used again.
I have had easier licensing for TWO PLUS YEARS!
Yep... I use Linux, and none it of requires me to install spyware on my system just to install and use the OS.
Calling your customers crooks to their face, true or not, is not good business.
Thanks to your crap I was forced to use an OS which is far better and more secure to start.
Thanks!
and there is items shown that may not be real, fake, prototypes, etc.... SHOCKING!
NOT!
Go to any trade show and its more smoke, mirrors, dogs and ponies than you can count. So NVidia said it was a real card, big whoop. Wrong, unethical, sure, but go to any trade show for any industry and you will see the same crap. What do thing goes on in all those closed door rooms? I've been pitched plenty of stuff I know doesn't exist or they are showing fakes etc. for all kinds of stuff, its just the nature of the beast.
I read the TFA, and quite honesly the site has an anti-NVidia bias to start.
TFA forums references "analysts" and their issues... well I don't give a damn what the analysts think. stock analysts are some of the biggest problems with the financial markets and society in general, and a major reason for the crap in the US, at least.
NVidia is what I purchase and always will. I specifically choose NVidia over ati and intel. I don't care for either companies products in any form CPU, GPU or chipset.
NVidia and AMD (yes I am aware who owns ati)
Well up front, I HAVE an ANTI ati bias. I've had nothing but crap from their drivers since the days of the all in wonders started, and then they drop perfectly good cards from the Linux drivers, because they can't be bothered. Screw you ati!
AMD you bought the wrong company!
