I was working on a program that sales managers would use to divide sales territories up between salespeople and one feature was the ability to select all territories a certain distance from a point and using the most simplistic algorithm the code would crash if the circle crosses the 180 line so we had to use a somewhat more complicated algorithm than we first thought for this, even though all of the U.S. is one one side of it

Guam would beg to differ. :)


We didn't have Guam in our list of territories as I don't think our customers had sales offices there or if they did they already knew who was going to serve it.


Get outta here, Guam—hater.

Kidding, people!
