Yes, I've run into this problem before too. In my experience, it is just the ringer that is disabled, so all you have to do is wait 20 seconds and then start picking up the phone every 10 seconds or so and then you'll catch the person calling.
Maybe they could have a similar setup to/.'s moderation system. People edit pages. And others moderate those changes. Then have meta moderators and karma and +5 funny!
I had a best data ace 14.4 modem / soundcard. When I bought it the package said that it was software upgradeable to 28.8. I had nothing but trouble with this thing. One problem was that the modem would only work while the mouse was moving. If I stopped moving the mouse, the lights in the tray(windows 95) would quit blinking. But when I would move the mouse it would make crazy static sound in the speakers.
Then 6 months later when the 28.8 drivers were finally released, you had to pay $20 for them, and then the sound was disabled while the modem was on. Also, it slowed the system way down.
Apple should spend more time making it easier to switch -- like including a "start menu" equivalent, using the defacto standard "ctrl-c & ctrl-v" type shortcut keys, better windows-style support for right-click instead of always having to use ctrl-click to get a pop-up menu, real windows-style "uninstall" functionality.
Yes, because thats worked out so well for Linux. The thing that bothers me the most about modern linux desktop enviornments is that they try to look soo much like windows.
How hard would it be to get two cellphones with a free mobile to mobile calling and have one at home wired into your broadband connection and then use the other as a modem on your laptop to call your home cellphone.
I'm sure it would be slow, but it in theory wouldn't cost you anything.

Haaah :)
Another trick with the automated collect calls is when it ask your name say, "this is Joe call me 555-1212"
And then they call you back for free.
I hate leaving messages. However, I have found this simple prepaired message quite effective. "Hi, this is [my name] gimme a call back. Thanks."
If you can't be bothered to do that much then screw you.
I don't know about the uni you went to but at mine they waved the "reasonably fluent english" requirement.
If vandalism falls within that category then I'm ok with it :)

Does it support all of Firefox's extensions?
He may live like a king when compared to other Indians. But I don't care how cheap stuff in India is you're not driving a Bently on $800 a year.
Bus drivers in the US make $3200 a month.
In the US nobody respects the media.
Perhaps taken out of context my comment is hard to understand.
Well, the cheapest dell you can get is $279. The cheapest dell you can get with an equivilent processor unsuprisingly costs about the same.

More like upgrading the Playstation to the PS1 :)
Am I the only one who thinks these designs look alot like digg.com?
How many slashdots would a slashdot slashdot if a slashdot could slashdot slashdots.
I think you are getting sidetrackted from the topic.
