Verizion – Side by Side with at&t Coverage Map
I like this map. It really shows how poor at&t’s coverage is. I had at&t for a long time, and I would get dropped calls on my iPhone. I would call at&t all the time and the rep would say that its not in your contract that at&t guarantees service. So basically I had bad service, would get 10 dropped calls per day, and at&t says the service is fine. They would continuously point to the coverage map saying my area has full service. How do they explain the dropped calls? At&t would say they don’t guarantee service.
This map speaks for the nation. And even the local coverage is the same. I have no problem with a company not supporting particular areas. But at&t would continuously point to the local coverage map of my area, and say I have full coverage. The map is not correct. I talk more about my local map in a previous post.

Howtoforge.com does it well, but it took me some time, and in particular I feel one command was left out. Start by removing the bind address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
#skip-networking
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Then add the following to /etc/mysql/my.cnf. Particularly to the mysqld section!!:
log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
binlog-do-db=exampledb
server-id=1
Exampledb is the database that you intend to replicate. Server-id should be 1 being [...]

Apparent there is either a sensitive aspect to iPhone software, or an integrated kill mechanism. I have a friends iPhone that simply cannot be restored. There is an error 9 that cannot be avoided. I have placed the phone in DFU mode, which is apparently the ultimate restore mode, from which even the most damaged [...]

I had an iPhone. I had at&t. I no longer have an iPhone. I no longer have at&t. I posted a while ago an at&t coverage map of my neighborhood. At&t says there is coverage. There is not coverage; at least not what is claimed. The map is not correct. The map says there is [...]

Time and time again we see oil prices changed proportionally to upcoming environmental events. Current:
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)–Crude futures rose above $79 a barrel Monday on concerns about the threat Tropical Storm Ida poses to U.S. oil and gas production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. A weakening in the dollar also supported prices.[Source]

Hey, don’t get me wrong the new Droid sounds pretty cool. It has the new Android 2.0 software, which is an improvement, or next generation of the original Android software introduced by Google a while back on T Mobile’s network. I like Google products. I like Verizon products. Mixing the two together makes a product [...]

iphone OS 3.1.2 has been jailbroken again, allowing users to do whatever they like with the gadgets they’ve bought.[Source]
The iPhone can use any carrier particularly TMobile instead of at&t. I had an iPhone for a long time, but ultimately the GSM bottleneck of the device is a tremendous downfall. On at&t MMS took unnecessarily too [...]

A wonderful autotagging addon to any website was Jiglu. They would automatically tag popular keywords and other relevant content that is on your site, and other sites in the Jiglu network. Jiglu has discontinued this service to pursue, what appears to be, a paid service. For a long time now Jigu has gone through some [...]

The best of both worlds is not achievable. Your Blackberry is the ultimate communications device. The messages folder consolidates all email, SMS, MMS, and instant message communications into a single icon. The instant messaging feature further consolidates AIM, MSN Messenger, Blackberry Messenger, and countless other services. The messages folder also accecpts facebook notifications, and makes [...]
