But once i get my hands on such a device, it'd be impossible for the fed's to track me down.

Lol, noob. [smile]

Lol, nooblar!

Quote:Besides, once phones around me in the movie theatre are scrambled, those idiots will just assume they can't get a signal. They cant talk on the phone, which means me and a bunch of other folks end up being happy.

And when someone is having a heart attack in the theater, sitting in the front where nobody notices him and he needs to dial 911, but can't, thus dying only to be discovered when the theater closes for the night, will you have enough of a conscience to feel bad?

Quote:Think of it like Batman.

No. Batman is fiction. His world is contrived to make his side the side of righteousness. The real world is a lot more complex. For instance, someone sitting near you may be called by someone in an emergency, or it might be an expensive international call the person can only afford to make once. Because you don't have the fortitude to stand up and ask the assholes making noise to be quiet and respect the library, you intend to block thousands of legitimate cell phone users daily (though, I'm sure, disabling your jammer so you can use your phone when you want to - assuming you have one).

Grow up. Learn to deal with some inconveniences, and learn to assert yourself. It'll go much further for far less trouble.

Not to mention, his parents were killed. Find a solution involving a little less passive-aggressive and a little more spine.

You're right, discretion is key here. You certainly wouldn't want to discuss your plans on, oh, I don't know, a public forum or anything like that. That'd just be stupid [rolleyes].

Yes! This would be much more useful. I would put it on my one year old so no one could smoke around him.

I also do not condone this for all of the reasons said beforehand even though I posted a link to such a device. It is against my personal philosophy to restrict the rights of another individual in this manner. If I needed to use my cell phone I would be very upset to find it was being jammed by someone that likened what he was doing to some type of altruistic super hero.

Comic book characters wear masks because they are cowards and give us the illusion that it could be us in their costume. Be a man ( or woman ) and an adult. If it bothers you say something.

On this note, there are few places that cell phones shouldn't be used. Just because it disturbs you, doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed. I was at a Borders book store once sitting in a corner near a few other people when my phone vibrated ( I always keep it on silent ), since it was my wife I answered as quietly as possible. The man near me gave a look and very haughtily said I should go somewhere else. I calmly responded that it was not a library.

More often than not, there usually isn't a problem until someone decides to make it a problem. I don't know how many professors I have that simply don't even acknowledge phones any more. It takes too much time from them and the rest of the class to acknowledge someone forgot to turn their phone off instead of just plowing through. The people are usually embarrassed enough and get plenty of stares from peers.


If you want peace and quiet, don't go outside!
