    I just got a call on my work phone from a mobile in Chad (Africa). :omg: They hung up when I answered, so I figure it's a really wrong number rather than a telemarketer. Most telemarketers use fake local numbers for Canada.

    I need an app that will automatically deliver a new BBBBBBBBaBB (beautiful blonde bimbo brandishing bountiful bobbing bare breasts and bodacious butt) every day. John Simmons / outlaw programmer

      They just copied your personal info from the phone - it takes fraction of seconds so the AI called you hanged up almost immediately... :mad:

                Indeed, but as long as every minute a sucker is born, this will only get worse.

                This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                    Alas, I've hear rumor that "flip phones" will be coming back in style (users bored with broken screens, perhaps?). They'll be expensive and probably have all the crap the others do.* What'll we do if we're suddenly apparently stylish? Wait out the storm, I suppose. * Except for the voice part, I believe the once called these notepads and laptops.

                      I too have heard this, it had better not effect the price! I paid $12 for my current one, which is the second one I've purchased in the last 10 years.

                          It doesn't matter - we're just about scoring points in these forum discussions.
                          Smart phone or smart person - there's no middle ground.
