I don't think it's fair to assume that everyone who reads Rolling Stone magazine smokes pot and doesn't shower. After seeing the movie "Flight" is it fair for one to stereotype all pilots as coke head, alcoholic, sex fiends?

I thought we were short, overweight, bald guys with big watches many of whom are divorced? When did that change?

ATL guys, My passport expires soon and I wanted to know if anyone has gotten their passport renewed in ATL? If so where? Thanks just trying to avoid a wasted day in the Chicago passport agency.

I also was not impressed.
This is what will happen. I can almost certainly guarantee it wasn't a piece of logic that was voluntarily built into the system. An ASAP report every time it calls you twice (once is legal) during rest should take care of the programming costs. Remember you have to answer and not acknowledge. The company can call you as many times as they want during rest. If you answer, they can't call you again. If they call and call and call and you don't answer, they assume your phone is off. Not condoning this, just stating it as a fact.

So really the solution is to go back to your RJ days and add a second line to your cellphone account and take your personal number out of DBMS. There's more than one way to derail an auto notification program.

Repeated "contact" restarts rest. Blowing up your turned off cell phone ("attempts") without you answering is not a rest violation.

True. Don't forget OS6 for the iPhone has a "Do Not Disturb" function.

Unfortunately, selecting that feature doesn't stop the drunken people celebrating in the parking lot of the Denny's next door at 3am, or Housekeeping yelling "Housekeeping!!!!!!" while beating on the doors next to yours when you're trying to sleep off last night's redeye.

That one is easy; Zero. 19 voting reps 11-8 equals 19 votes and it apparently was only one round. That means Art did not vote for himself.
