Context is important. Your dinner is not likely to be in context for the vendor. (Though it could be a pizza shop.) Similarly, having dinner served by the Swedish Bikini Team is not in scope.

I guess I could say the same for the price expectation. When a vendor makes such claims we think about design or usability of a product. When talking about prices vendors are usually quite explicit, like "Guaranteed lowest price!"
But the vendor did say ALL my expectations (this was about linguistic ambiguity, right?)
Yeah, I want pizza served by the Swedish Bikini Team at the lowest price when I get home from work!
It's an OO world.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Who's on first.
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
"Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst

What's on second.
You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

I just read the thread about the latest email scam. I had a similar experience on a recent phone call:
Me: Hello?
Scammer: (Strong Hindu accent) Hello sir. Are you the operator of your computer?
Me: Yes.
Scammer: Your computer has been identified as being the source of disruptive network traffic.
Me: Really? How did you identify that it was my computer? Do you have the IP address that is the source of the problem?
Scammer: (Yes, he really said this.) The address is 192.168.1.101.
Me: I see. Good Bye.
I suspect that he was trying to sell some sort of unneeded cleanup software. I've had a number of calls recently that all share the same basic theme.
Nevertheless, a site local IP?
Give me a break.

I never answer my phone unless I know I want to talk to the person phoning.
Home, mobile, work. If I don't know who you are then you can annoy my voicemail.

I always answer the phone, you never know it might be an opportunity to be rude to an idiot. I managed to get about 20 minutes from one of these scammers once!

I've had those kind of calls 2-3 times;
1st time I told him I was hiking the AT and he would have to call back in 3 months
the other 2 times I lead them on until I couldn't stand it any more then called them out....click!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
