I pity the poor shmucks that had to write that stuff, the committee that had to review it, the editor that had to edit it, etc.

Marc, there are no 'poor schmucks' who write that stuff. It grows all on its own, like a fungus.

I wish some tiny part of me could claim this wasn't believable. Having worked in government though, I have received similar and even been involved in projects with sub-sub-committees to decide what color to make the font.

You should probably allocate twice as much time to any tasks to ensure both standards are followed in the meantime...

Having worked in government, I actually understood it on the 1st read! <G>

That's the reason why everything in government are two years behind and cost $30K a line of code, just to adhere to some useless standards. That's is not even include QA. Wait a minute. What is QA in government software?

There's nothing polite about anything posted at CP in The Lounge.

I take this back; I just found some polite stuff ...

I just got a sales call from 555-555-5555.
I wish all of the sales idiots would start using this so my rejected number list could get smaller...
BTW, does anyone know if there's a limit to how many numbers the rejected phone numbers list holds on a Samsung phone?

So... you expect people to open a link you posted rather than simply supplying the data you found? I've taken to not opening links in messages because, well.. people can't be trusted.
|
|
|
|
|
Well if you mouse hover over the link you will see that it points to google,
and doing that you also get
1. the most up to date results - not some stale copied/pasted info
2. more sure it's real info (the copied info may be altered before pasted)
3. correctly formatted at source as not all css/html pastes well into cp
4. and if you've set security properly you can't get bitten clicking on a link
or you can go on living in the dark
Sin tack
the any key okay

Or.. I can do the search myself, but the point was about providing information rather than simply providing a reference to the information.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, can see that but I'm the opposite in that I prefer the reference - particularly if to or links to reputable info such as the manufacturers page - to be more sure it's genuine rather than a guess, joke, fake, outdated or non applicable.

From what I know, it's limited only by the amount of storage on the phone.

we got a do-not-call register, plus regulators that take action on offenders.
before that came in if I heard the typical sales intro lines I'd do the 'please wait' and put them on hold (put the phone down in front of a radio, or if no music put the phone in a drawer or next to the cat.)
Sometimes they'd try again, but seeing as they are up for call charges (and in large call centres monitored / performance measured) would usually give up.
