I've been in situations where all the documentation has to be done by the documentation department, and the most you can do is supply them with notes which they'll retype to company standards. So leaving with tasks undocumented wasn't uncommon.
If you want a high bit rate and stereo then the BBCs DAB broadcasts won't always be what you expect - take a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalradio/faqs/answer_03c. shtml for some of them. A quick search will find you plenty of other pages detailing the shortcomings of the current set-up.
Just to give another point on the graph - my site is episode guides for radio programmes, and I suspect that most of the users [or the regular visitors at least] have a little bit of technical knowledge more than most [ie they've heard of UseNet].
Here's the percentages for May [about 20,000 hits]:
Inexpensive shredders are only useful if you're doing a few sheets daily, if you try to clear 10 years worth of documents in an afternoon you need something much more robust.
We had some cabinet work done and I asked whether the guys doing it could make us a mail chute. Easy job for them.
So now rather than a box outside the house where anyone can get to the mail there's a flap, and the mail slides down the chute into the house. Much more secure.
If you go to the cinema do expect to get a copy of the film? You pay the license fee for the right to have equipment capable of receiving TV signals, what the BBC then does with the money has nothing to do with you.
I remember seeing those in a few pubs in the late 70's/early 80's. Usually silence on both sides of the record and with punning titles/performers [though I can't remember to that detail].
The important part of the case, which gets lost in the argument about whether you can copyright silence, is that the writer of the piece was credited as Mike Batt & John Cage. If he'd not done that, if he'd used either name, then it would have been a different situation. If my new album has all the songs written by Larry Lightbulb* and Paul McCartney then I'd expect a lawyer to come calling.
Advertising for the places you would go by has to be the next feature of it [well, if they want to make money from it] - perhaps their usual style, or icons on the map. Having gas stations would be so useful.
I have a similar vague memory of a report saying that reports about mobile phone use causing x% of accidents were flawed because accurate details weren't kept - people lied about using them, there's no test for usage [like for drug use], and
testing after the fact requires access to phone records which were difficult/costly to get.
technology standards for sending health data across the network and sharing information, when appropriate, among doctors, hospitals, insurers and researchers.
I seem to have missed the point of this. There's already a standard for the data/information: HL7. As long as all systems can read and write it, does there need to be "technology standards"?
We've got a Vonage line for phone calls and a "copper wire" phone line just for the security/fire/smoke alarms - we had a couple of companies we'd used for other things give quotes for whatever wiring/conversion/etc was required to have the alarms using the network, but it was too expensive.

Doesn't it mean that you're less interesting than a bug?

With the fall in the dollar the foreign coins are probably a good investment.
Isn't the point of beta to test and criticize it?

The last time we tried to use a UPS store for sending anything to England they wouldn't believe the address didn't have a house number.
You pay for the right to watch it, not to own it. Same as when you go to the theatre you pay to watch the performance, not to own a copy of the play.
People have stormed out of John Cage concerts when they did hear things.

*yes, I know it's a silly name.
There's already a Cage piece for white noise, 0'00" I think.
It's for any instrument/s. The first performances were by David Tudor on piano and that seems to have stuck.
Damn, I wish you'd told me so I wouldn't have bought a mini last week.
I've automated other people out of jobs, it's not always a good feeling when you do that.

The current standard for seeing any face in any object is to eBay it.

If it moves, shoot it.
If it doesn't move, shoot it.
If it's square, fly through it.
