No, if you have a file on the server that is not protected, then it's exactly like having an open door or an uncovered window.
If the file or directory was locked, then I could see your point.
I can't find the lawsuit, but there was a couple that was having sex in their own private room, and said room was next to the public pool. The blinds were open enough for people to see that they were having sex. The couple was sued, and the couple lost. Precedence for this case? No. But it does support the theories above.
I prefer to think of it as my paying for being able to make a call from anywhere. "Can you hear me now? Good!"
Also, some are saying that cell phones have their own area codes. In the US, we're almost out of area codes, and some phone companies are talking about going to eeight digit numbers. If this 'pay-for-calling' plan goes into effect, I imagine they'll just prefix the call with an automated message.
They're cheaper to me! My last contract was for 150 minutes during non-peak hours with nights and weekend free for an addition five dollars. Total monthly cost: ~$45US Voice mail was not free at the time.
My current plan is for 1000 hours a month, with nights and weekends still free, with cell insurance, voice mail, text messaging, free long distance, etc. Total monthly cost: $55US
I did a contract for Teal Datacenter, the datacenter for the state of California. Arcus (now known as Iron Mountain) ahd come in to take our disator-recovery tape offsite.
However, this guy was not familiar with our datacenter.
He pushed his dolly full of tapes (about 75 canisters per day) up to the ramp that leads out of the raised floor area, but stopped when the double doors didn't open. So he stopped at the base of the ramp, walked around the hand rail, and pushed the button that opened the doors.
I might mention that this is before people thought of putting those little flip-up plastic panels on the EPO buttons. Yes, he pushed the Emergency Power Off button.
I never heard what happened to him, but I never saw him again...
I think people need to start getting head sets for their cell phones.
I see at least three benefits: One, people would not have to have their cell phone volume jacked up so that people on the other side of the bus can hear it. Two, their cell phone ring would be through the earpiece, even if it's on vibrate (mine does this). And three, the microphone in my headpiece is at least an order of magnitude better than the one in my phone, allowing me to talk in a quieter voice than the surrounding people.
You have a little angst from people carrying on a conversation? How about a restaurant with a 'talking' ban then?
I personally find no problem with people talking on a cell phone in a voice that's appropriate for their surroundings. I can understand your angst if you've run into several people that didn't follow this simple rule, but otherwise you just sound angry that you can't eavesdrop on BOTH sides of the conversation.
In the event of an impending crash, the lap belt will keep you anchored in place against the seat cushion, thereby limiting any emerging matter from flying about the cabin.
In layman's terms, it will keep the shit in your OWN pants.
I agree! As long as said cell-phone user's conversation is no louder than any other.
I don't understand why people have such angst about people talking into a device rather than someone's ear. It's the same conversation, either way, right?!?
If I understand correctly: If I turn on my cell phone at 30,000 feet, I can actually use more than one tower? What if I'm merely on top of a hill (or sky scraper) with two line-of-sight cell towers on each side of it?

I can think of several things that serve dual purposes equally well:
1. comb: hair/harmonica
2. hair brush: hair/discipline utensile
3. wallet: money storage/paperweight
4. wife: cook/cleaner/child raiser/sex toy
5. cologne: woman repelent/insect repelent
6. mobile home: tornado attractor/white trash houser
I could go on, but I'll digress.
Yeah, people are apparently trying to post intelligently!
Current post excepted. Site still slashdotted...

Hope his web site isn't hosted on that thing...
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
There are indeed some things that annoy me, but I can certainly decide when, where, and if to express said annoyance.
Empathy has nothing to do with it.
Doh. I meant 1000 minutes. Sorry.
No, they haven't yet.

In my experience with HP9000's, this could not have happened. The backup software would recognize the tape, and would re-eject the tape.
Perhaps my shop was more advanced? Doubt it.

Talk about a shitty setup...
Um, ouch.
You may as well say "Must have razor sharp teeth."
I mean, damn, dude!
Vibrate is my personal favorite ring-mode. If I were king, it would be the ONLY ring-mode used in public places.
"We survived 20,000 years without cell phones. Why is it now we cannot?"
We also survived umpteen years without Penicillin Would you like to go back to the pre-Penicillin days?
Or maybe the pre-seatbelt-law days?
Or the pre-computer days? How much would you like that?

Bra-fucking-VO! Extremely well put.
Though the other posts in this particular thread make a lot of sensem people just need to stop paying attention to things that don't concern them.

I'm a notoriously low-talker. If I sat in a seat near you, you would probably not hear my side of the conversation.
If people are talking in a voice that suits that environment (which loud talkers do NOT do) then I don't see your complaint having merit.
If they are talking no louder than anyone else, then butt the hell out and stop being so nosey!
