Phone Plus Sensory Deprivation Equals...

Posted by michael on from the hold-on-I've-got-a-call-on-the-other-line dept.

This in theory means the user is not distracted by other things occurring in their immediate surroundings. If these catch on, it looks like getting a Jacuzzi for the office could be easier than you might expect."

    The nomenclature used by the person at the time of the interruption is not relevant to the nomenclature used during analysis. The former doesn't invalidate the latter. Good luck ridding slashdot of jargon. You've chosen an uphill battle.
