fishmech is right as far as big cities go nyc is kinda hilly; but it ain't flat. chicago is flat. the entire state is flat. our highest point is some parking lot owned by some dude in the northeastern part of the state that charges admission for people to visit it once a year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Mound

The Management posted:fishmech doesn't have a sense of scale, he only cares about being technically correct. I hope this is not a new revelation to any of you manhattan has great changes in elevation, but it is carefully graded pedestrians climb mild grades for miles to reach high points. it's like switchbacks without photo opportunities

i remember several years ago when i was workin at the school district, the district administration was completely in love with blackberry. got the blackberry enterprise server, every school principal and district department head (and tech department cj, ugh) was issued one. they couldn't get enough of the walkie-talkie. i think it was like a drug for them. i think every time they heard that sending chirp they got a semi because they loving loved it. i remember at one time the choir teacher had quietly asked me about whether it was technically feasible to jam cell phone signals - 'of course i wouldn't ask you to do it, i'd just come in over the weekend and get up on the ladder and hide it in the ceiling' - and i had to tell him that, aside from it being incredibly illegal, the district bigwigs were so in love with their blackberries that they were seriously considering installing cell phone repeaters in parts of the building where they couldn't get service, so finding a sudden dead zone might tip them off. that was an amusing conversation though. my boss loved, loved, loved to send the goddamn alerts. basically you'd alert someone (i don't remember what the BB term for it was) and the blackberry would ring until you either canceled it or hit the walkie-talkie button. the default tone was this nerve-jangling super-loud ringtone and it always put me on edge and finally i wised up and just changed the ringtone to something less urgent. i think they only ditched the blackberries a couple years ago. i remember visiting them and the network admin had a big box full of blackberries waiting to be recycled or something. anyway, that's my story. thanks for reading and 'god bless'

push to talk was/is the dumbest poo poo ever, especially when they pushed it toward consumers i get some really limited use cases for it (large construction sites, uh...park rangers?) but i remember people having loud rear end conversations on the train and poo poo with that stuff why would you do that and not just have a phone call in public on speakerphone at that point
