If this thing is not overturned, how does it impact VOIP? Does this mean that any federal/state agency or ISP can listen to all of your conversations without any kind of prior court approval?
I am 6' 4" and I have been in the computer (geek portion) business for over 20 years. I have found that when I get hired with a new company, the boss / co-workers (all shorter) have always had to get raises to stay with or above my salary level. (This has happended the last 2 companies I have worked for). This may be attributed to my experience level but my bosses / co-workers are not complaining about the additional money.
I have also found that people generally give more commanding respect to tall people verses shorter people. I have had sales people (and others) come into a room and start addressing me as the leader instead of my boss. This can be a real problem when my boss and his boss are both real short.
Tall people will also generally have more breaks in life than short people. This is not to say short people do not get ahead but that taller people generally have it easier when it comes to advancement within a company (all other things being equal). A side to this is that short people who have to fight for their opportunities tend to be hungrier (figuratively) and tend to see an opportunity and jump for it quicker than taller people who have had an easier time.
You will never catch me complaining about being tall;-)
