I have a set of Targus AWM02US headphones and I use them in my lab, where my in-lab "desk" is directly next to a rack of Itaniums (loud), and even with the active canceling off the noise reduction is great. Regardless of which brand or model you decide on, if you're in a data center, you'll be glad to have them.
Obviously I'm not saying lives depend on cell phones working, or that it will always have a benefit, but are you saying you think there's never a benefit?
If you were to have a heart attack in the middle of a movie, would you rather the person next to you immidiately hit 911 on their cell phone, or waddled through the rows of tight chairs, ran down the stairs, ran to the front of the theatre building, yelled for help at the teenage attendents, waited for them to pay enough attention, and finally get them to call 911? Sure, maybe it's just seconds when you think about it now, but those seconds might matter for something when someone is dying. Obviously this isn't something that happens often, and maybe a somewhat extreme example, but I can't imagine someone would be willing to sit 30 seconds longer waiting for an ambulence just so that stupid kid in the back row will stop using his phone.
1. Certain jobs may be effectively a 24-hour on-call, and therefore their "movie time" can be anytime they want.
2. You've limited the debate of emergency use to on call people, when it may apply (as stated earlier in this thread) to simpler matters such as a babysitter contacting parents on a night out.
3. You're suggesting people who need to use services they currently have access (cell phones) to should buy an extra, limited, service (pager) in order to comfortably block the superior service from the theatre.
All the points you (and others in this thread) are making seem to focus on how those of us who kindly silence our phones can cope with solutions to block those rude few. As mentioned by someone previously, to solve this social issue (people talking in quiet places), we simply need to have ushers remove those without proper etiquette, not add technical and monetary workarounds.
The complication in blocking cell phones lies in that simple signal blocking would prevent emergency calling, which would probably get anyone blocking signal in a hell of a lot of trouble, and a more in depth blocking system would have to know more information than people want the theatre to know. I imagine it would also be difficult to control the zone of interception so that it did not persist outside the boundries of the "quiet" areas.
Maybe I'm too obsessive of a gamer, but when I was first dating the woman now my wife, I thought it was important that she was into gaming at least half as much as I was, just generally interested in my interests. My wife attends LAN parties I go to, we play WoW together, and she kicks my ass at Dr Mario when we play.
To put it nicely, Slashdot rarely breaks news. To put it specifically, this is common. Slashdot depends on user submission for them to have any idea what's going on.
Everyone is lowering or entirely dropping their level of support for the Itanium, and now with Intel's interest moving to a better 64-bit system, this is good for everyone except maybe Intel and those who bought Itanium's.
Doesn't seem too difficult, people have large host files already. Just replace some major banks to start with, bank of america, wamu, blah blah, covers a lot of people.
Can we have a revote? Maybe everyone who voted Bush beause they just figured he'd win anyway, and all the people who didn't get off their asses and vote will vote.
You realize the slider bar at the top personalizes it in incriments deafulting to around 0, so at first it will show fish, then as you slide it to the right it will show bass related to computers. Note the special icon next to personalized items.
Now I just need to figure out why my server won't get a matchid. (well it gets 0) Setup all the port directs and still it fails. I can connect just fine, but it wont show on the master lists.
I also noticed that in CTF in 2k3 I thought it used to direct you to the flag(or the goal if you had the flag), now it just directs you to the blue/rd points no matter what.

Again, I think the solution lies in punishing those who do break the rules, and leaving those who don't alone.

The first game you described sounds more like nibbles than tron.
Step 3: Profit Well, profit for whoever's webpage you're on.

That's a nice link there, I'm sure the first 1 or 2 people who saw it may have been interested.
Figures it's not something we'll see here anytime soon...
Except that he specifically refers to gun wielding, and therefore Judge Dredd is the most applicable case.

The Play Station X project ended up becoming popularly called the PSX instead of the PlayStation despite no retail usage of the X in the 'acronym'
