I go to a lot of movies (at a lot of different movie theatres), and I have yet to run into someone nearby who is talking on their cell during the movie, let along talking loud enough to drown out the movie.
Asking the person if theyd turn their cell off usually works, especially when there are people all around you who would back you up on that request.
I dont like those things because aside from the fact that they should come with a sign that you wear says "I'm a big dork", they have a tendancy to get 'stuck' turned on after not a whole lot of wear. A keychain light should be as durable as your keys. The photon or LED lights are just way too flimsly.
They're popular in our office as a gift item (Twice I've had one given to me -- maybe I'm just a big dork), and now I quickly regift them if I get any more of them. There are much better keychain lights out there.
Oh yeah -- that excuse held water 8 years ago, but it's a little tired in 2003. Web designers cater to the majority, and apparently you aren't it. Get with the times.
The SysReq (or "System Request") key is still heavily used in the as/400 world for job management on the system console. Using the SysReq key, you can send different signals to whatever current job was running
Think of it as a key dedicated to the unix 'kill' command.
Well what do you expect -- the cops in Medina don't have much else to do except deal with domestic violence and ding rich guys for going 5mph over the speed limit.

Oh yeah, and how do you efficiently manage your smoothwall firewalls after you deploy 50 of them?
It's just the same ugly packet filter with more makeup.

I shall paraphrase:
No I haven't.
Anyone with a spine would ask the person to turn their phone off.

Big different there.

"Virtual PC will support Linux" as in you can load a supported linux distribution on Virtual PC....for now.
You still have to be running Windows or MacOS to use Virtual PC.

And when World of Warcraft ends up being the same ugly girl but with much more makeup, what will you wait for then?

Someone obviously thought that the magic has since been lost with the SysReq key.

"According to the U.S. Constitution, the author has no such right,..."
Could you quote the section of the Constitution that you interpreted this from?
I'm betting that you can't.
This surprises you?
I guess you weren't paying attention to the tech industry circa 1997-2000.
