Same with me, but during the mid-90's.

For the first five years of my work life, I'd half-seriously tell my friends that I was getting paid to do what I would already have been doing in the first place.

Real IT Person: "Hold on while I ask my colleague..." **CLICK** <dialtone>

Please, never again use "asshole" and "taste" in the same sentence.
:-)

Not yet, at any rate. Within a year, some apps will start requiring iOS 6 (this morning, one of the apps I frequently use was updated, with "Requires iOS 5.0" as one of the changes made).

Based upon the number of elderly people I've watched drive several miles with their turn signals left on, maybe the turn signals aren't enough of a distraction. <grin>

You should see some of the ones Bell Canada uses around here (Toronto, Ontario, Canada area). Along one highway, there's one in particular that's so damned bright, I once drove past when it instantly flipped from a dark ad to an almost-100%-white ad, and almost swerved into the next lane over due to reflex action.

Personally, I find digital gauges (including clocks / watches) require more "thinking" for me to interpret. If someone asks me, "How fast are we driving?" a digital gauge will allow me to quickly answer, "110 km/h." However, it will take me a second or two to "internalise" how fast I'm driving.

With an analogue gauge, if someone asks me the same question, it'll take me the additional second or two to convert the needle position into "110 km/h", but I instantly will be able to see, "Oh, I'm going a few km/h above 100 km/h."

I have the same issues with watches. With a digital watch, I easily can figure out the current time. To figure out how long I have, say, until I need to get out the door to go to work, it'll take me longer to figure out with a digital watch. With an analogue watch, I find it easier to figure out I have, "about a quarter of an hour" until I need to leave.

Should be able to. In my case, at 6'3", the following vehicles are physically incapable of having their mirrors adjusted properly (typical issue: I cannot move the driver's side mirror out far enough, or the mirror is too close for me to get the proper angle, even when the right side of the mirror allows an even transition to the left side of the rear view mirror):

• VW Golf (*any* year)
• Honda CR-V (*any* year)
• Hyundai Sonata (at least any model made after 2005)
• Nissan Versa 5-door

There are other's, but the above are ones I'm intimately familiar with.

Seriously, you're being dense.

At my height (6'3"), a significant number of vehicles do *not* allow me to set my mirrors this way, no matter how hard I try. The main issue is the mirrors are designed to *not* move far enough out so that I can cover the blind spot between the edge of the rear view mirror and my direct vision, even when I'm looking 90 degrees to the left or right. Sure, if I shrank 6 inches and moved my seat far enough forwards so my chest touches the steering wheel, I could eliminate the blind spots from most vehicles, but this obviously isn't reasonable.

Also, with some cars (hatchbacks, especially, including the current-model Nissan Versa), the "C" pillar is so large that it's *very* easy for a motorcycle or bicycle to fall out of sight, no matter how well you position either or both of the side mirrors.

Don't automatically assume that all vehicles have mirrors that can be properly adjusted.

Hmm, as AT&T can't deliver the product (or service) they've sold, and apparently never really intended to, it appears they've learned very well. :-)

Unfortunately, that won't work. They don't attempt to speak with their asses; it just happens naturally. :-)

Worked beautifully, I see. :-)

Was that the only bad thing your boss said?

In some organizations, if your boss can't find anything wrong with you, HR rules will state they have to find a nit to pick, no matter how minor; otherwise, you end up being perceived as having no growth potential, and (oddly enough) are more expendable than the employee who is just coasting by.

Or simply wear the same clothes to attack / burgle at least one other location that might use a similar spray.

In other words, what happens when the original layer is obscured by multiple, overlapping layers from some other site? Or, just as bad, if the layers mix, producing a chemical similar to, but sufficiently different from, the original layers?

You're missing two exceptions: when it's an iPod, or when it's an iPhone 4 that was purchased factory unlocked directly from Apple.

Either way, neither Apple nor a telco is subsidizing the purchase.
