Then, ask them to do the exact same thing, except with an editor that has a different name (no, not just renamed, but something that looks at least slightly different, but uses the exact same mechanics for saving a file).

For kicks, the two separate programs should be Office 2003 and any Office version above 2007.

Holy crap! A phone that still has a replaceable battery!

This is definitely my next phone, my GS3 is starting to show its age.

I really don't give a rats ass about phones being super slim. I want a phone with a user replaceable battery, because they are only good for so many charges and the battery will have to be replaced. I'm already on my second battery in my GS3. Apple's solution of sending in your phone and getting a completely different refurb unit is crap, because you don't know what you are getting. I suppose the GS6 will be doing something similar.

I still say any device with a battery needs to be user serviceable. Of course the manufacturers don't want that because when the battery dies they want you to buy another device!

Aspartame itself appears to have neurological effects as well, which in sufficient quantities causes problems. I personally know that any more than 20 oz of Diet Coke starts making me feel "odd" for lack of a better way to put it. It's not the caffeine. I don't get the effect from non-aspartame caffeinated drinks.

Aspartame has always given me an instant headache, even in small quantities (like a 300 ml can.) It's not just me, either - I was surprised to find out a few people at work are the same way.

I have a good blind spot monitor too: It's called setting your side mirrors properly.

Pretty much everyone uses their side mirrors as rear view mirrors - if you can see the side of your car in your side mirror it isn't set right.

My mirrors (on both my car and my truck) are set so that when a vehicle leaves my rear view mirror it is in my side mirror, and when I can't see it in my side mirror, the car is directly next to me. Neat, huh?

Also: If I had a car binging at me with some sort of notification, I'd look down at the dash to see what it was, and I suspect that won't help my odds in avoiding a collision.
