And you of course, oh holier than thou one, have never spoken to a passenger whilst driving. It's the same thing. If the phone's in a _proper_ handsfree kit, there's no issue.
IIRC, one of the franchise conditions for "Millionaire" explicitly dealt with show appearance, right down to stating that the same set arrangement, music, and so forth, be used.
Now that's interesting, because until recently Cross had a splash screen on their PCG pages that said they were relaunching the Cross pad in Dec 2000.
Nothing was updated by the first week of January, so I sent them an email asking "Wassup?". The reply was that they expected to launch the new version of the pad in Q1 2001.
SO - they "fibbing", left-hand not knowing what right-hand's doing, or what?

So, you switch the time in your mind, but not on the PC, and the fscking thing is supposed to present information as AT THE TIME IN YOUR MIND?!
I'd say you've got problems that can't be addressed by calendaring applications.
OK, so you're implying that the police were operating at a heightened state of awareness during a political convention - i.e. a time when activities counter to good public order might occur.
Hmmm.... and this is a _bad_ thing?
I think not.
Absolutely spot on (the last para). As mentioned previously, all the guy had to do was explain, briefly, what was in his kit, and there'd likely have been no issue.
To be asked the nature of your business, or attire, whilst in the vicinity of a potential/actual troublespot such as that, is perfectly reasonable.
I assume all you whingers on here will expect sub-second response from your local police forces if/when your home happens to be burglarised? Kind of a shame that they'll all be busy dealing with jerks like this clown at the demo.
So? Buy best of breed. If that happens to be from MS, then so be it... If in your own words, it's "pretty cool", then go for it. Slate the product on technical grounds, price, even marketing approach, but offer something more than "but it's from Microsoft"... G.

You have a problem with "tradition" and "national pride"? People wear uniforms and die for that you ignorant little motherfucking worm.
Which would get your ass fired at any number of companies. Quite reasonably so, if that system has been provided for you by corporate IT.
Existed in the real world long have we kid?

Nothing like an intelligent, well-thought out, accurate, non-libelous comment, is there?

No. It's because idiot's like you keep posting twaddle like this that people like us don't bother protesting smaller violations. You truly are a jerk.
