How To Make Your Friends Call You More 233
B0bReader writes, "Simply sign up to something called jajah (a VOIP service that connects real telephones) using your friend's number (mobiles included), then log in and dial your own number. Your friend's phone will ring and after they hear a brief 'Jajah is connecting your call' they will be calling you and incur all charges. As an added bonus you will quite probably receive your friend's latest voice-mail message as your own (at least on Irish networks), which you may or may not wish to hear. There is even a Jajah Firefox extension — which at the time of writing is the Firefox featured add-on — so you can do it right from your browser. This is about the best example of a bad idea, with terrible implementation, that I have seen all day. And with the wonderful publicity the Firefox page offers it should reach a wide audience in no time."

Irish police are still investigating any correlation between the popularity of Drinkdrink and a sudden spike in Irish homicides where in most cases the victim new their assailant prior to the fatal encounter. Similar incidents are on the rise--possibly due to Jajah.
Seriously, if I tried this on one of my friends, not even a surgeon would be able to locate my cell phone.

Oh, that's easy. In your class declaration you just put:
where "foo" is a function that's outside of the class in question. Of course, the friend can't call you, because it's a friend of the class, not any of its methods.

Step 1: Decide what kind of friends you want and make a plan to make these types of friends....
So to make friends, my first step is to figure out a plan for how to make friend. Gee thanks, if I knew how to do that I would already be able to make friends on my own.

Let that be a lesson in structured design (Score:3, Funny)
And this, kids, is why you should use getters and (if needed) setters instead of making an Orkut-inspired design where everyone is "friends" with everyone they ever heard of. If anyone needs your private parts, they can ask nicely and you can give it to them in a civilized manner.

1. Made most of my former friends call me twice.
2. Listened to the rest of my former friends' personal voice-mails (because their phones were turned off when they "called me" so this is only fair, right?).
3. Gotten my parents talking to each other after so many years (although my Father wasn't best pleased that he had to pay for the call).
