While some would alarm all-around abating a theory, others would alarm it a accurate set of facts. Opinions alter vehemently. Let us accede all-around abating to be both a apriorism that the ambiance of the apple as we apperceive it is slowly, but actual absolutely accretion in all-embracing air and baptize temperature, and a affiance that if whatever is causing this trend is not disconnected or challenged activity on apple will dynamically be affected.

Hanging. Debating getting some coffee. Haven’t had any this week.
If I need a lift, I get a bottle of Starbuck’s Dark Chocolate Mocha. Yummy! It works for a while. But I still only drink one.
Very interesting. I guess it’s nice *in a way* be able to sleep through someone’s throwing up and screaming in your very own room ... but I’d hate to find the mess in the morning when I *finally* achieved consciousness.
Better to wake up when the voice down the hall mumbles, “I need to throw up ...”
Tom and I learned how to text message! We feel really smart now!
LOL!
My friend wanted to learn to text message, though he said, “Not that I’ll use it, but just in case.”
Now, that’s all he does! I think, since he drives a bus, it gives him more privacy and he doesn’t have to hang up and try to recall his train of thought.
My grandson (AR) thinks it’s awesome to text his Gramma!
I recently read a book by General Honore’, who managed the Federal task force after Hurricane Katrina. The books was about disaster preparedness, as well as the experiences of the hurricanes. He said that people were able to text message, even though the cell towers were down, because texting uses such a small amount of airwaves or something, and that everyone with a cell phone should know how to text, and have the number of someone *way* outside the area programmed.
Now I have to go back to my book and figure out how to turn of the text-message ringer. My phone-call ringer goes BRRRRRINNNNNG! like a manual alarm clock, but I don’t want the text-arrival to make a noise.
My phone “honks” at me when a text comes in. Now, when the phone rings, it startles me!
I don’t use my cell much, so I’m surprised when it rings, unless I’m expecting DP or one of the kids to call while I’m away from home.
I fixed the text-msg ringer, so we’re good now.
That would be a good New Year's Resolution for me...
;-o)
On the previous version I had to buy an app to get a ringtone wake-up alarm when the phone was on vibrate.
I like this phone; it completely replaces my old PDA.
I am well trained for that. Except that it never happens.
I'm always awake first.
Huh! I was not aware text messages operated over a channel different from voice (or Internet, for that matter). I'd always assumed all three were conducted by packet-delivery over a common channel, with different QoS for each service.
You learn something new every day.
Today that didn't sound good. But then I am never in a Starbucks except when traveling, to get my OJ & scone for breakfast. While I like full hotel breakfasts, I don't like the price most charge, they're probably pretty fattening, and I don't need anywhere near that much food to keep me going all morning sitting in meetings until lunch. Even late European lunches.
We're looking at the hotel options for Paris. The meeting hotel is nice but not cheap: at the peak daily rate of 209 € it would be the most I have paid (okay, my employer paid), but I can get it down to 169 € and weekends can go down to 105 € -- but I definitely balk at "Breakfast additional 16.50 € per person": $20 breakfasts??
My employer would likely pay without question (and has paid similar rates without question in better times), especially in a city such as Paris (as opposed to Peoria) but this offends my Scottish blood.
I put my phone on vibrate but it never has. And now, the battery won’t hold a charge, so next payday, I get to buy a new battery. Though I’m seriously thinking of upgrading my phone, since I’ve had it two years.
Everything else on it works just fine.
And with that, kids, I’m outta here. It’s been one of those days.
But cellphone batteries don't last all that long anyway.
It's been one of those days for me too. Much too little sleep last night; my last meeting this afternoon was a minor agony coupled with worrying if I'd pushed too hard. I guess tomorrow will tell. Tomorrow is all teleconference/Internet-meeting. Trying to decide between going into the office or seeing how long the wireless landline handset will hold out. Meeting starts at 6 AM my time; I think I will be late regardless.
I’d rather not go there.
Good luck!
Thanks.
I work with something that alleges to compress the ISO OSI 7-layer model into somewhat fewer layers. For all it avoids some complexities of the OSI model, I still don't believe that the (descriptive, informative) text of what I work with is accurate. I just tell folks to ignore it and, in-house, we use different terminology for the troublesome layers.
Is there a successor?
