In this case, I was updating my address information for a service I use. The website is quite nice on one hand, in that, it was able to determine most of my address when I entered my postal code. On the other hand, it got the street address slightly wrong. I decided the address was 295 Queen St E, when it's actually 6-295 Queen St E. The developer was so sure of his amazing algorithm that he wouldn't let me edit the address.</P> <P>I often experience the same problem with phone numbers. My Motorola Q doesn't understand phone number extensions, so when I enter the extension in the address book, the phone dials the wrong number.</P> http://www.kbcafe.com/csharp/?guid=20080906123209 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 17:32:09 GMT http://www.kbcafe.com/csharp/?guid=20080906123209 http://www.kbcafe.com/csharp/?guid=20080906123209 http://www.kbcafe.com/csharp/trackback.aspx?guid=20080906123209 http://www.kbcafe.com/csharp/commentapi.aspx?guid=20080906123209 http://www.kbcafe.com/csharp/20080906123209.xml dev programming
