I'm headed for Las Vegas soon and asked the same question. Customer service said the connection comes from the nearest tower, and that service is nation-wide. It should work fine.

I work for New York State, what could the impending government freeze mean for me
I work for New York State, what could the impending government freeze mean for me?
I am a computer programmer working in the welfare division, so my job is pretty safe as far as long term security. However, there have been talks about government freezes (ie: only the most essential government facilities stay open until the budget is resolved). What does that mean? Am I unemployed? What does the union do? Very confused as to what it would all mean to me! Thanks in advance. This is not in regards to the federal wage freeze. This is regarding the NYS Budget problem.

the government freeze refers to federal employees, not sure it would include the State of New York's employees like yourself.

I'm assuming you're talking about a state freeze, not a Federal one. My guess is that if they do actually "shut down" all but the most essential facilities, you will not be paid during that time. As a computer programmer, you might have some work, if you were called in to repair a critical system. However, welfare is likely not considered essential. You won't be unemployed. Rather, you'll be on a furlough, which means that you will still be employed, but will not be allowed to work or be paid to work. It's a tough position, since you can't collect unemployment (which may be unavailable, anyway). You'd have to quit and get another job. Furloughs typically don't last more than a few weeks, which is why most people suck it up and deal. However, if they go on longer, you may be forced to look for work elsewhere. As far as unions, they are typically against this sort of thing. However, there is little they can do if the government digs in its heels and says that they are doing a shutdown. For now, stay put.

Your union, and all modern labor unions, are corrupt and inefficient at helping a business entity to maintain profitability. Your future wages will be dependent upon the "welfare" of the contributing citizens of New York, after taking into account their overwhelming collective tax burden, resolving the budget crisis will only be an increasingly difficult issue, ending inevitably in bailout from the Fed.

I have noticed a lot of people who live and work in New York State but have out of state license plates. Why?
I hear they do this to lower their insurance rates. Many of my acquaintances have florida license plates, but they live and work here. They just have a summer home down there. Is this legal? If not, how can one report these license plates? I also have a friend who has an Arizona license plate. He lives and works here, but has family in Az, and uses that as an excuse, but I dont see it fair that he can evade all our road taxes.

Florida has some funny laws about registration and plates, and if they own real estate there they may have to register the cars there, even if it's only a summer/winter home. Maybe a Florida resident can expand on this.
2 :
Two words: Insurance Fraud. Call your state Insurance Commissioner's office. In most states, vehicles must be registered and insured in the state and city where they are GARAGED. Garaged meaning the location where they are parked at night.
3 :
If you live near a military installation then this would explain the assortment of out of state plates. There are different rules regulating service members vehicles while at their duty station.
4 :
Insurance fraud. Ask your insurance agent how to report insurance fraud.

A good site for finding film production work in New York City
A good site for finding film production work in New York City?
I'm an aspiring director/editor and, in addition to filming my own work to shop, have to find supplemental income. But I'm sick of craigslist and it's unprofessional community. Are there any other good sites for finding production work in NYC? I do use mandy.com, but am hoping for others.
