In our wonderful world of technology, free software or open source software have pervaded our computers, whether you have linux running as your OS or Firefox as your web browser (which you definitely should have, btw).
It seems that this abundance of free software has lead to a strange phenomenon where all consumer of software no longer consider any software to be of any value.

Cell Phone Disconnects
With the profusion of the wonderfully unstable technology of cell phones, it is all too frequent to have the other party in a phone conversation disappear. This event is promptly followed by a series of reconnect attempts by both parties that continue to both get busy signals, until one gets lucky, or the other gives up. I hereby propose that the standard protocol for this event is for the party who originated the initial call is the one to redial, and the other party should just wait for several minutes before attempting to call so that the line is left open.
The Uselessness of the Web
How come every time I search on google to find the answer to a question that obviously has been asked before the only matches I get are in forums that have someone asking the same question, and never are there any answers posted? Either there are no answers, or some overzealous moderator has come in and removed the answer saying that it belongs in another area on the forum, with no link to help find it. There needs to be a way to rank the results so that web forums with actual responses are before ones with no replies, maybe make a standard <meta> tag that has a reply count that forums can implement.
