Great when you have a friend's 30 something y/o son in your car and

supermarket... The other week in Launceston I saw this bloke mow his
lawn - for the whole time I watched him, I never saw him look away
from his fucking phone.

None of those people were doing you any harm at all.

How? Why is someone reading a book on a mobile phone instead of a
women's magazine at the doctor's damaging society? If the man mowing
the lawn finds the task less tedious by watching the football at the
same time why is that upsetting?

I understand why some people don't want a smart phone but it seems
extraordinary to me that there are people who object so much to others
using one that they make a feeble attempt to prevent them. It is
particularly weird from people in this news group who you would expect
to understand how to use a computer.

Welcome to the wonderful modern world where you communicate with the
world entirely through some mobile device. At one stage, people waiting
for lifts at least acknowledged those around them, but now it is totally
eyes to the screen playing some stupid game or reading the faeces or twat
feeds.


Worse is that they think it is "social" networking.

The more they connect with their stupid devices the more they disconnect
from the real world and society.


We were in a restaurant a while ago, the couple at the next table spent
the whole time clicking on their iThings, I assumed that they were
texting each other rather than speaking.

In "Two for the Road" Hepburn and Finney have a running joke
identifying couples who are eating together without talking as
married. The mobile phone is not a substitute for talking. It avoids
acknowledging the silence.

Haven't you had one of these tards walk into you yet? Most them
actually seem to expect you to get out of their way, as though I
should take into account that they can't see, because they're busy
texting or using faecebook on their ishit or phone.

Go see a movie sometime and get constantly interrupted by phones ringing
and retards talking loudly on the phone, watch parents "parenting"
whilst staring at their screens, watch people walk into others, in front
of cars or clean people up in shopping centres whilst they are texting
and driving. Watch then drive all over the road to answer some pointless
stupid message that just can't wait. Go to a restaurant wand watch a
bunch of mongs stare into their screens and not talking....

Yeah, these devices have worked wonders for society by disconnecting
people from the real world, society and real responsibilities.

I'll pass. I haven't been to a cinema in *years*. I loved the Gold
Class cinema in Brisbane years ago though - that's much more my idea
of how a cinema should be. No under 18's, limited (and very
comfortable) seating, and drinks and fairly decent food served to you
at your seats.

And most all movies suck these days, thanks partly due to CGI, etc.

That last one... I don't think I could actually sit at my own table

Yep. I'm not against technology, but some people just can't find a
reasonable balance.

could the signal be weird? I have had GPSs for a long while and have
never seen the like before.
On the way home at night from Trivia it behaved normally.

Could be "regional denial" either some goon with an intentional or
unintentional jammer or a legit military exercise.


I have a jammer, tried it on my Navman and it didn't behave that way,
only effect appeared to be losing the satellite.


Some GPS's may behave differently, and maybe some jammers work
differently in terms of what effect they cause?

Probably.

I didn't know these were in use by truck drivers and others.

Neither did I (re: the truckies).

I was compelled to buy one because I can't stand fuckwits staring into

Because it's fucking rude to begin with,

Its no more rude than reading a magazine in the waiting room.

> and to be honest, I hold them in great contempt. That's why.

But you are a fuckwit druggy so are completely irrelevant.

Instead of watching people mow their lawn you could usefully use your
own phone to learn the difference between jamming GPS signals and
jamming mobile phone signals.

You stupid cunt.

Corse that isnt rude at all, eh ?

The difference is irrelevant, most jammers
cover the relevant frequencies for both.

Bullshit.

After that you could learn the futility of jamming
mobile phone signals to prevent people using
their phone to play Angry Birds or read a book.

Did I touch a nerve?

Nope, he just pissed on you from a great
height, just like everyone else does.

> You must be one of these cocksuckers

Corse that isnt rude at all, eh ?

who live for their phone to say that. Of course
it doesnt jam anything like an app, so what?

So you are face down in the mud, as always.

> They can't text or use the Internet.

There are so few of those jammers around that
it doesn't happen often enough to matter.

The day they bring an app for killing jews en-mass,
I might take an interest in the bloody things.

Just another fuckwit druggy.

I do read ebooks on my iphone when in a doctor's waiting room
and in other situations like that, but still talk to other people I
know if they are there too.

I also listen to radio national podcasts when out walking
for exercise but always stop and talk to those I know when
I come across them while doing that.

How does a GPS jammer have any effect on what people see on their
screens when they are texting, twitfaecing etc or is there more to
them?

No, they can still see their screen - they just don't have
phone/Internet access when in range of the jammer.


I get that they can still see the screen, I didn't realise they also
jammed the phone signal as well as GPS.

Yep. CDMA, GSM, DCS, PHS, 3G and wifi.

Bullshit with GPS.

Anyway, should be mandatory in some places - not illegal.

How did you get hold of yours? I've read
customs are screening for the devices.

Pretty sure it was ebay, although I can't find it anywhere
on there now. Was only about 4 months ago, the box
describes it as a 'signal isolator'.

Or, if you wanna DIY:

A couple of us do use our smartphones during the garage/yard
sale run, but still talk to each other while waiting for one to open
and just check in the facebook buy sell swap groups for garage
sales that haven't been advertised in the paper because they
can't justify the $40 the paper charges for the ad.

Plenty of the time they dramatically improve the way things
are done as well. We coordinate the opening times of the
garage sales using out phones and that leaves the previous
approach of all charging around them in convoy starting a
full hour before the advertised opening time.

Toby will surely love that :)

So far so good.

Don't forget the fake mobile cells used to interpose GovCo and
interested parties between your mobile and the 'real' network.

That isn't just bait for NetKook SpeedShill, either:)

Then there's the Major Event phone jammers being worked on. Legislation
required, of course - won't be long now. I'm expecting all sorts of
shitty GovCo behaviour to be exhibited at G20. Mind you I'll be well
away from anything to do with that circus when it comes to town.

But it's not about GovCo only - the forces of evil would also like to
wipe out bootlegging of events in real time,mainly so they can get to
work on phones and stuff on an as needs basis at entry and exit to the
venues.
Easy stuff
First step, demonize the piss-drinkers.
Second - Ban the piss,
Third - the cut lunches, beach balls and even Whoopee Cushions..
And now for the cameras and of course mobile phones.
First step for that is of course nobble the network and not to forget
the WiFi bands as a bonus...Excuse will of course be that the network is
overloaded at er certain locations.Except the Shitney Fish Markets, of
course.. Duh..
More later.

There ya go. . quality NetKook Bait

I would suspect that few phones sold on California aren't smart phones,
so, in the case of California, it certainly resembles ALL phones or is
that too complex a concept for your tiny intellect.

The problem is that their use can be dangerous and even deadly in

allowed

The seppos have just passed legislation requiring all phones
in the future to have the ability to be shut down remotely...

Bullshit.

Currently awaiting the governor's signature in California

That is nothing even remotely resembling ALL PHONES, fuckwit.

I would suspect that few phones sold on California aren't smart phones,

More fool you.

> so, in the case of California, it certainly resembles ALL phones

Pigs arse it does.

Welcome to the wonderful modern world where you communicate with the
world entirely through some mobile device. At one stage, people
waiting
for lifts at least acknowledged those around them, but now it is
totally
eyes to the screen playing some stupid game or reading the faeces
or twat
feeds.


Worse is that they think it is "social" networking.

The more they connect with their stupid devices the more they
disconnect
from the real world and society.

Exactly. Although I wouldn't consider cities and suburbs as the 'real
world' either.


I agree.

More fool you. They are actually much
more of the real world than anything else.

Suburbs are about as far from the real world as you can get.

Neither did I (re: the truckies).

I was compelled to buy one because I can't stand fuckwits staring into
a tiny screen no matter where they are or what they're doing.

None of those people were doing you any harm at all.

They are ruining society.

Bullshit.

I do read ebooks on my iphone when in a doctor's waiting room
and in other situations like that, but still talk to other people I
know if they are there too.

I also listen to radio national podcasts when out walking
for exercise but always stop and talk to those I know when
I come across them while doing that.

That's you, but that's not the majority.
