I found GB-PVR to be perfect for me. I dual boot between Ubuntu and windows xp. When I installed Ubuntu I thought when I got MythTV running I would rarely boot into windows.
But since it was so difficult to get MythTV installed and configured (I eventually got it semi-working) I installed GB-PVR and it just worked (and free too, although I will donate since it is such a good program).
And it is because of GB-PVR that I now rarely boot into linux. (My TV is right next to my computer and I use it as my media center)
Part of my point. The word 'right' is used quite loosely. In your scenario there is no 'right' to dryness in a movie theater, just has you have no 'right' not to have me dump my popcorn over your head in retaliation.
People hide behind non-existent 'rights' rather than take responsibility for their actions and don't try to take the time to understand that there are people in the world with thought processes different from their own.
What Right is that? One of my points is that the word 'right' is thrown around too loosely. In the idea I expressed before perhaps I was protesting the way my religion was portrayed in the movie that was playing. By a patron complaining, and the company who kicked me out it is my actual rights that would have been violated.
Rights and social norms are sometimes used in arguments interchangeably, and that is absolutely not true.
Excuse me but what *right* do you have to silence in a movie theater? It might be a social expectation but in no way is a *right*. Tell me when and where you are going to see a movie next. I'd love to express my actual *right* of speech and talk during the entire movie and annoy the hell out of you. You do not have a right to not be annoyed by other humans.
By the way 'society' also got along pretty well before computers, automobiles, medicine, etc. 'Society' also evolved. In the U.S. Western Union recently stopped their service of telegrams, I'm sure in the past there were people who thought of telephones in the home the way you think of cell phones in public.
Cell phones are not going to go away. As a society we will evolve social norms, and there will be people who deviate from it. But that is life.

Hey! Quit stealing my identity.
HA! You stole it from my first husband.

That sounds boring. I'd rather play a first person shooter, like a vice-president sim.
