Nothing more irritating than hearing somebody's phone going off
in a physics lecture or Vaudeville revival performance, then
waiting
while the idiot fishes through pocket or purse fumbling for the
cursed thing to silence it. Totally unnecessary, though. Phones all
have accelerometers these
days, and a good slap or (if it's in a
purse)
kick should be sufficient to silence it.
The phone, not the idiot.

Microsoft patents whacking off [CraigD, Feb 09 2014]

Apparently Windows Phone OS does this, Microsoft calls it "whacking off". |
|
| |
(I say apparently because no one has ever used Windows phone OS.) |
|
| |
Not yet fully baked (as in actually implemented), but
patented, it appears. |
|
| |
Looks like Microsoft patented "controlling audio of a
device" by "whacking" it - which tech watcher have
more catchily termed "whacking off" - in Sep 2013.

What [Grogster] said. In fact, we should all bun this idea
in support of what [8th]>[Grogster] said. |
|
| |
He'll be found guilty of second degree murder and get out
in a couple years. |
|
| |
... and then they'll make a movie about him. |

That's really, really not something you should
be sharing on a public forum. Altho you're
probably more deserving of pity than
condemnation. |

There is, thankfully, an organisation to help
you. It's called IG Farben Gmbh, and it makes
a wonderful product called Zyklon-B … |
