    Originally, I was going to say RSX-11, but I didn't think enough people would get it.

    Come on... At least this is one thing both sides totally agree on and give bi-partisan support. "Screw the people" is the motto.

    Are you talking about made up facts? Because we use them regularly. Along with Cherry Picked facts, misleading facts which all rely on people not knowing their facts and fundamental scientific principles like Thermodynamics....

    Oh we got facts to burn, assuming they don't create CO2....

    You figured it out! If I can just make a clean burn power plant for "facts" we will be energy independent is days! We only need three plants! One at Fox News, One at CNN, and one in Washington! Should be enough for the entire country in any two of the three...

    "Perhaps they shouldn't have forked out for a pair of glasses they knew were banned from movie theaters?"

    Well, considering they were JUST NOW banned, Perhaps they should have hopped into their Time Machine and seen this would happen.

    Actually, the MPAA inconveniencing their customers is fairly predictable by this point.

  21. Re:Let's be serious here on MPAA Bans Google Glass In Theaters · · Score: 1

    I do not believe a single Google glass wearer is surprised that they may be asked to remove them at a theater, bar, or restaurant. It's been all over the news since the thing was first released. I place these google glass wearers in the same category as smokers who are surprised that they have lung cancer.

    I also ride a motorcycle. I have glasses appropriate for that. They wrap around the face. They also block some sunlight. Some places say I have to remove my sun glasses to come in. I know this, and see it from time to time. However, I remove myself along with my glasses. I am not going to bring along a second pair just to accommodate someone who I was planning on giving money to.
