Cell Phone Headsets?
stm42 asks: "I drive 45 miles to and from work each day and I have found that a great way to spend the time productively is to use it to make the phone calls I have to make to employees, co-workers, bosses, etc. I want to be safe, however, and would like to find a headset for cell phones (with a regular headphone jack) that works and is fairly comfortable. I currently use a Plantronics over the ear style and it will stay on my head but I usually have to push the earphone to my ear to hear the other person and that pretty much eliminates the usefulness of the headset. Any suggestions?"
We all know that holding a cell phone while driving is illegal, but I recently was made quite unpleasently aware of the fact that wearing headphones while driving is illegal too. My suggestion to you is to get a speaker phone system for your car. Unfortunately, I don't know of any seeing as how I don't use cell phones.
You're right, I wouldn't steal a car. But if it were possible, I sure as hell would download one!
1) You are still minding your conversation instead of driving.
2) The cellphone is still right there in the car with you, usually next to your genitalural area and still emitting dangerous electromagnetic radiation.
In short, you shouldn't be talking on the phone at all while you drive. If you are that lonely, just carpool.
But seriously, try listening to a book, the news, learning a language on disc, using public transportation, riding a bike (45 miles a day is totally doable)...
When referring to "doable" athletic feats, please keep in mind this *is* slashdot we're talking about.
