The four corners of the globe or world. If the World was a cube, fine, but
its not. Nor is it square and 2D.

A problem. people here were discussing SIM's a while ago, and I did not
pay atention, but now I do. I want to call someone, and I do not want
my real umber to show up on their phone. I had a landline connection
once, which is now used for data purposes by people who would not mind
me using that number for one call. An old landline number. Any ideas?.

Small ones apparently.

Jesus bids us shine,
With a pure, clear light,
Like a little candle,
Burning in the night.
In this world is darkness,
So let us shine--
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.

If you don't want any number to show up, prefix the number to be dialled
with 141 (pretty psure .ie follows the same codes as .uk).

if you want a number, but not your number, to show up spend a few ZU on
a burner SIM from ASDA or wherever.

Last time I looked at a meerkat or projection of the world, it had four

Be warned that the 141 is an instruction to the final node to strip the
CLI from the package before delivering to the destination customer. I
suspect that for the authorities breaking that is probably easy; it is
possible that the security services do that as a matter of course.

Many types of exchange and telephone allow a receiving number to
suppress a call when the CLI is not presented.

The CLI suppression prefix is public information in the UK and Ireland.
That makes me wonder why Mouse or Grey Mouse would want to suddenly
suppress the Caller ID?

There would be eight stupendous mountains and six salton oceans in six
stupendous valleys. Morning and evening shadowing would be weird but
differeing depending on whether the axis of rotation were through
opposite corners, opposite valleys or other. Difficulties would
attach to travel between faces. Tunneling technology would likely be
a major industry.

It's too late in the day for me to do the maths but I think
gravitation difference between corners and valleys would be
significant.

If they’re anything like we are in our household, a withheld number simply
doesn’t get answered. Also, how are you gonna control who picks up the
phone?

It depends on the projection .

Michael Bentine convinced me it was square.

Yes, let's not talk about tectonic stability - or the lack thereof.

Given that a cubical planet would have to be artificial perhaps a
different construction would be more liveable. Take six large thin squares
of stabilised (don't ask how) degenerate matter just thick enough to
provide a uniform 1G near the surface, cover with normal matter and
landscape. Apart from near the corners and edges (where it gets weird)
gravity should be perpendicular to the planes.

Back in the deep dark days days beyond recall, there was a company in
Georgia, USA called Hayes, who invented the first practical modem, which
was controlled, through a terminal, with what was called `The Hayes
Code'

To call another modem, you entered the string `atdt[number]'. There
were other commands, including one to set registers, which went
something like `ats* register number * [number]'

Something like `ats13=1' would enable the modem to turn on the called
phone without notifying the owner of the phone that the line was open.

That time, most phones were on tables to the inside of front doors, so
all that could be heard was happening in the front hall. Now people
carry their cell phones in their pockets. As most old utilities remain
inside apps, I think it might be possible to enable that old command
somehow.

[sorry. there is an interruption. There is a blue light flashing
outside.]

Later..
