Why would government (albeit a different arm) ever want to give up power they have. Personally I think it would be better fought on appeal especially if facts are in question. But then IANAL and don't even pretend to be one on/.
EPIC's petition challenged the Court's finding that the devices detect "liquid and powders," which was never established and was not claimed by the government.
Personally I don't think this will help any as you have correctly surmised. It will probably make things worse as it is another avenue for SEOs to use, unless Google decides to treat +1 from a SEO as a -1 internally and adjust accordingly. Also google does seem to have location awareness with the local results so if lots of people from a foreign country were adding +1s to a domestic site in a non native language you could probably rule them out as spam or even better go and treat all of those +1s as a -1 internally and bury the page like they did to J.C..Penney when they allegedly link spamed everything.
Oregon does the same, but don't expect them to actually put the correct grade in if your car takes anything other than 87 octane. Yes your car will be fine but you will get worse gas mileage as it can run it richer which effectively boosts the octane. The listing of the standard octane and a rich mixture has been used used in rating avgas for years where they list the standard octane number followed by the rich number like 100/130 or 115/145. For the ratio to be corrected automatically you need to have a vehicle that has a knock sensor which modern cars have.
Go work in an office, and see if any of the management wants to waste their time learning hotkeys. Chances are, most of them are barely functional on the computer, and think that sort of thing is a waste of their time. So having a bright colorful icon right in front of them really improves their speed. Ask your IT staff, if you aren't part of it.
Personally I don't want management to be more productive. They waste enough of productive time and then wonder why I didn't accomplish anything when they wanted me to be in meetings or generating stupid reports all day.
Geek Squad was originally an independent repair shop until they were bought up by Best Buy. Early on Geek Squad was a quality outfit but that was back in the mid 90's and before they were bought by Best buy they had started to do some of the dodgy stuff but it really took off once purchased by BB. I would agree that Best Buy's Tech Services always sucked and was dodgy at best. In the mid 90's they were charging $50 to install RAM and me and a buddy always joked that we should set up shop in a van outside and offer hardware install services for half of what best buy was charging.
Not all ex-Geek Squad employees would be bad, but you would have to find one of the original employees back from the mid 90's when they were an independent repair shop. The Best Buy Geek Squad is raiding on the coat tails of those original employees who actually did quailty work at a reasonable price. An example of the original Geek Squad work was when I had a laptop (a couple year old dell latitude with a reasonably fast 75mhz 486dx4 and 36 MB of ram and an aftermarket hard drive with a whopping 2.1GB storage) that had a couple of bad solder connections in screen that they fixed. At the time it cost me something like $20 to $30 to fix which was reasonable for a college student. I doubt today that Geek Squad would even attempt that repair let alone be able to get it done for less than $200.
Why would you RTFA. When you read it you always get let down.
I noticed that as well. I mostly wanted to look at the pictures and wonder why the model images have such nice right angles as I would have thought they would been more similar to the actual pictures. Then again I am a software guy, not a physics or nanotech guy.
Unfortunately those unemployed NASA folks don't contribute anywhere near as much to his campaign, or to that of any congress critter, that the large energy companies do. So obviously they don't matter.
But you don't understand the (Pick one or more of the following: Oil companies, Arab sheiks, the Illuminati, the Masons, the government, Trilateral Commission, main stream science, the lizard people,...) have been suppressing the knowledge and benefits of (Select one: Remote viewing, dowsing, auras, homeopathy, remote prayer, astrology, tarot, crystal energy, cars that run on water, 1000 mpg cars,...) because they want to keep people ignorant and indentured to them. It is all one grand conspiracy don't you know.
Sadly there are too many people who follow this kind of reasoning. Worst part was I had a dorm mate in college one summer who was one of these people. It was constant and by the end of the summer I was up to date on all the latest development in the grand conspiracy of the lizard people with the help of the oil companies, Arab sheiks, Illuminati, Masons, world governments, Trilateral Commission, and the UN were planning a complete take over of the world that started with the crash in Roswell and really started to accelerate with the assassination of Kennedy who was going to expose the whole plan. I wish this was an embellishment but it isn't far from how he thought and I could never keep it straight so I may have included some groups incorrectly.
Not every problem can be solved by killing someone or blowing something up. In fact, very few problems can be effectively solved that way.
Put the controller down, once in a while, and read a newspaper.
I would say given the current state of world affairs reading a newspaper would only encourage his beliefs that violence is the solution. It may be better for all of us if he doesn't put down the controller.

I like to beat up on the Republicans as much as anyone, but as far as effectively regulating the banking and financial industry the problem seems to be institutional and not related to a specific party. The donkey party took over the house and senate in 07. Also keep in mind that Barney Frank (D) was all over the House Financial Services Committee so you really can't just blame the Rs for lax regulation.
I say hang em with their own rope. I am sure that the SEC has various fines and what not it can impose on corporations for each instance of the actions that they have been hit with. I say let them play by their own rules. No I don't want to see the SEC go away but would like them to actually do their job. They should go after individuals who ordered or where compliant in the data destruction.
So is that the donkey or the elephant party in the US? I can't tell them apart when you use such general terms you need to mention specific religions, or specific corporations/industries.
You stumbled upon the issue people have with firearms. Most people's only exposure to them (especially in urban areas) is through the nightly news where they are used in gang violence, criminal activity, or by crazies who shoot up crowds. I have been accused of effectively murdering my child (nothing has ever happened to him) because I happen to have firearms in my home by relatives who line in San Fransisco, Eugene Oregon, San Jose, and Detroit even though my firearms are stored properly. I have also gotten flack from these same relatives for hunting and how inhumane that is but they all still eat meat. I even own an "AK style assault rifle that has no sporting purpose" according to the media (heard on a radio news report for one of the school shootings) even though it makes a great cheap little deer rifle when going through think forest and pretty much perfect for prairie dogs and coyotes.
So why don't we limit people to only smooth bore match lock muzzle loading black powder firearms as those would be enough to take down a roo. I believe that the rate of fire on those is around 6 shots a minute for someone who is really good with one. This would really limit the number of people one could mow down at once while still allowing for hunting and target shooting.
There are times when I was glad to have a semi auto rifle while hunting such things like prairie dogs, or coyotes, hell when hunting deer it was nice that time (5 years ago) I got to take 2 deer that had wandered out into the clearing together. It is not the firearm that is the problem, as one could just as soon use a punt gun and mow down a crowd, but the individual using it. When I was growing up I learned how to properly handle firearms and was taught that they aren't an extension of my cock, but a tool.
If one were to sue a company in small claims court it does cost the company more than the loss of the recovered money. They have to pay someone to represent the company for the time at court.
I successfully did this to an insurance company that didn't want to pay the fair market value for a wrecked vehicle even though I had overwhelming evidence the value they wanted to give mew was wrong (NADA, KBB, independent appraisal, comparable vehicle values, paperwork documenting the work that had been done on the car, and pictures before the accident). I tried to negotiate with them in good faith for several months and when they wouldn't negotiate in good faith I took them to court. The car ended up sitting in storage for 6 months the insurance company had to pay for that, they had to pay for someone to show up in court, they had to pay the small claims court filing fee when I won, and they had to pay the amount I was suing for. As an added bonus the judge told the rep from the insurance company that they should have just settled as I was negotiating in good faith and that their value was a complete fabrication with no supporting evidence to back it up.
Well in Minnesota filing fees for small claims court are recoverable. If I remember it is something like $32 so you could file for $25 for the coupon plus $32 for the filing fee. As this would seem to be a cut and dry case you could be in and out of court in about 15 minutes. I have filed in small claims court before and it is much less formal that regular court, just present you evidence to the judge and the other party presents theirs and then the judge rules. If you have clear and overwhelming evidence you might be lucky enough to have a judge tell the other party that they are completely incompetent. Now if enough people did this to Game Stop they might quit being such douche bags as they would have to pay someone to go and represent the company for each of these cases and then pay the $57 or so for each case. That really would damage the company.
Are there regulations that it has to be pasteurized?
In Minnesota you cannot advertise that you sell unpasteurized milk or offer it for commercial sale. You can purchase small quantities directly from the farmer for personal use and need to provide your own container. Here is an excerpt from the University of MN on the subject citing the law:
Which does cut into US drug company profits as the US citizens pay way more for drugs. Granted the drug companies still make money but it is only truck loads instead of cargo ship loads so it is cutting into their profits. The GP even point out that the drugs come from the same US companies even if they are sold by Canadian pharmacies. The Canadian pharmacies pay less for the exact same drug than the US pharmacies do.
But I have been hearing about the lavish pay and benefits that the public sector that those of us shlubs in the private sector can only dream about./sarcasm

The Minnesota Statute 2002, Section 32.393 Subd. 1 requires pasteurization of milk for sale for the purpose of human consumption. The exemption to this rule: “shall not apply to milk, cream, skim milk, goat milk, or sheep milk occasionally secured or purchased for personal use by any consumer at the place or farm where the milk is produced.” The buyer must provide the container for the milk. Under the pasteurization ruling, the farmer cannot advertise the sale of raw milk.
