Luckily, one of my patents assists with preventing just this
kind of hanger on behavior (more important in cases of
commercial or other espionage). It's one little way in which
I improved the world (improving conference call experiences
is tough of course) |

"Elvis has left the call" ... |
|
|
yeah, well, you'd know it on my system... |
|
|
//a random seven digit number// So, as long as there are
more than a few million conference calls active, you're in with
a chance. Actually, my last few conference calls have 9-digit
access codes. |

there's a large variety of schemes, including just dial out,
caller-id based, and unique phone# based nowadays (so no

A singer who did one of the voices for "Alvin and the Chipmunks" describes being bored and watching a late night talk show. The host announces that he is going to call all of the people in the phone book with -- let's say Elvis's name -- until he reaches someone. |
|
|
Sitting at home, the singer picks up his phone book and calls each name seconds before the tv host does, using any sort of nonsense to keep them on the phone. |
|
|
He later related "If the host had gone out of sequence just once, he would have reached someone..." |

|
Due to an overlap with somebodies calendar/email recently I began getting text reminders for meetings at a company I left six years ago. |
|
|
I wonder I can figure out how to bill them ... |
|
|
Norm...you are probably still on the payroll..admit nothing, deny
everything etc |

For a graphical equivalent, one could try one of the
popular
anonymous internet imageboards. But in the case of
insomnia, this cure is worse than the disease. |
