What buttons does your phone need, but not have?
By Andrew Pollack on 03/29/2006 at 11:17 AM EDTI mentioned a minute ago that my Mute button didn't do what I want. I want to have one that mutes THE OTHER PERSON in the conference. I'd also like an "Assassinate" button. It would need to be specific to a single person on a conference call.
What other buttons are you missing?

I'd like a Noncommittal Noise button that would make occasional sounds that
could not be construed as either agreement or disagreement, but indicated that

Lessee...how about?
* Pig-latin - on the fly translation to keep things entertaining.
* De-Buzzword - mutes all utterances that are in the meaningless buzzword
(and/or jargon) stopfile; might result in severe gaps, or even complete muting
of some particpants.
* Lie-detector - replaces all untrue statements like "Vista will ship this
year" with the simple phrase, "Bullsh*t!"
* Backmasker - listen to the call in reverse to detect embedded satanic
messages like "Notes is Dead" and "Ballmer rulez"

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop.

I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything.

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
