Quote:“Hey, you mind turning that thing off?” Simple enough question, but I got tired of people looking at me like I’m from Mars. When a TV is on in the room, I can’t think. I just stare at the thing and drool. So I invented TV-B-Gone, a key chain that stealthily turns off just about any television. When the TVs turn off, people turn on, engage in conversation, read, eat, and perform all sorts of human activities. Peace happens. I recently teamed up with prolific kit maker Limor Fried to create a $20 kit version of the original TV-B-Gone key chain. This version works up to 40 yards away, and it’s totally hackable; the entire project is open source and documented at http://ladyada.net/make/tvbgone. Here’s how I built one into a baseball cap that lets me look at almost any TV, touch the top, and watch with glee as it shuts off.

Quote:I don't even disagree that second hand smoke is MODERATELY harmful. But, scientifically speaking, how could you say it was more harmful than second hand cell-phone signals? They've already had numerous studies that said that cell phone use is linked to brain cancer. If I'm on the bus, in public, not using my cell phone... why should I be bombarded with 2nd hand cell phone rays? My question isn't at all about loud people.
Quote:If I want somebody to shut the F up in public, I'll just stare at them insistently until they do.
Quote: My youngest, completely unhinged brother skips all the mind games and, me as a witness, he pulled out a knife at a movie theatre and told 4 black girls sitting behind us to shut the F up or he'd kill them when they wouldn't stop talking through Resident Evil.

Hello, Theater owners are capable of designing theaters that have inherent RF insulative properties. A kind of passive jamming based on architecture and construction. I often have wondered why they do not do so. There must be a reason beyond expense, because making such enhancements to new-built theaters would not be overly expensive, and yet it is not done. --Anthony _______________________________________________ Note to self: Mr. Raptor believes that women who want to control their reproductive processes are sluts.

Quote:As for gay marriages, I'm 100% behind them too. We're not arguing here. I think that they should all be legal as far as government goes. Just don't force a conflicting religion to recognize them is all.

Quote:Alamo Draft House does it the old-fashioned way. You talk on your phone, and you are OUT OF THERE, period. No refunds, no bullshit. They are very up front about it, too; in fact, they made a rather famous "PSA" about it that they run in all their theaters. http://theuniblog.evilspacerobot.com/?p=5608

Quote:Originally posted by RionaEire: Smoking: I'm all for banning it indoors at places where children are present. In Portland its banned inside all bars and over 21 locations as well, sure it smells good and I like it, but I don't think its really right. If everyone inside is grown and the owners think its okay to smoke inside their establishment, then it should be allowed. If someone doesn't want to work in that environment they don't have to apply there. Just because I like not smelling it at the bar doesn't mean I feel its right to have that government mandated rule. I think the jammer guy was rude and potentially causing harm, emergencies and so forth like Byte said.
