I'd be happier if this page hadn't blasted music into my conference call.

Your fault for not paying attention during a conference call...

Yeah, because we never have conference calls where we have to be there but don't really have to do anything besides listen for our name.

Hehe. I wish OSX had individual program volume controls... On Windows 7 I usually have flash process volume on 'off', unless I'm specifically watching something.

don't surf the web on a conference call. problem solved.

Little late for that ain't it?

Sounds like a personal problem.

I love how you're mocking HN and the parent post at the same time!

I'm actually not mocking either the post or HN. If I am being a little snarky, it is towards the thin skinned who zero in on any comment they don't like and then launch a tirade in hopes of, essentially, group bullying. It happens with increasing regularity.

I actually find it refreshing when people mock or criticize HN on HN. There is too much orthodoxy here, too much defensiveness when that orthodoxy is questioned, too much indirection where a plainly stated opinion would suffice, and a lot of people don't have a sense of humor about themselves. (Watch this get downvoted by people proving exactly my point.)
