BTW, GPS is a wonderful thing as long as it works. I went somewhere (thank God, I pretty much knew where I was going) and I rented a GPS which wouldn’t charge. So when it lost its original charge, I was SOL. Of course, I didn’t know that it wouldn’t charge until it just died on the spot and I was in the middle of nowhere’sville Florida.
Nine times out of ten there’s a better, quicker way to get somewhere than what the GPS will tell you. I bet many people nowadays have never used a map. Pathetic.
I was meeting with a guy from Huawei. He’s a former colleague from Bell Labs, and so I’m quite friendly with him. He is one of Huawei’s point man in the US.
His best line during the meeting: “You know we’re going to be aggressive when it comes to pricing?”.
Dona – sorry about the news. But you were gonna quit anyway so now you’ve got an excuse to get moving on the next thing. You should probably start your own company – that would rule. You can also hire me to go around the world and look at crops and stuff.

I would certainly tell my lawyer everything; and my doctor as well.

There’s a shocker. The question is could whether they could somehow compel YOU to NOT tell them everything.
Benson, thanks.

I felt like responding: “You don’t say?!?!”
sorry meant, neighbourhood.
“I’m afraid you’ll just have to take my word for it when I say I speak of what I know.”
Yeah, OK.
All I can say is I’ve hired lawyers myself. And I’ll be damned if I’ve told them “everything.” The phrase “Need to know basis” comes to mind.
“What’s up with you and this new omniscient thing anyway?”
maybe it’s to compensate for little things
🙂
