Let me put it another way. If you tell a homeowner that their front door lock is unusually vulnerable to being picked, first of all they should sock you in the face for trying to pick their lock (before they call the police), and second you should not go publishing that information if they choose to not fix it.
How about if I owned the lock and found it was easy as pie to pick, then went to your place and said "oh hey, this is easy to pick, see", pulled my front door out of my pocket and demonstrated to you how easy it was to pick.
Would you still punch me in the face and call the police on me?
And how about I then tell the lock maker, give them six months to fix their locks so people have an alternative to upgrade to and then publish my paper I was writing for university (I was doing a thesis on how shitty locks on every day homes are), which, while highlighting the problem, doesn't give exact details on how to take advantage of said shitty lock, would it be fair for the lock company to sue the pants off me instead of fixing the locks to make everyone safer?
So running a conductor through a changing magnetic field will no longer produce a charge? Putting two lead oxide plates in an acid batch will no longer cause a chemical reaction?
My goodness, I was unaware that a catastrophe large enough to cause an apocalyptic event would change the fundamental laws of physics.
While they can refuse to supply service at their discretion, where does it say they have the right to refuse to honor a request for a domain transfer? Are you even following the chain of events here or are you just making things up as you go?
You may also want to do some actual research about marriage and where it came from, instead of quoting what you've been told by other people that also haven't bothered to research it.
Then lodge a complaint with the ACCC, you may be surprised at the response. (Also helps to send a copy of the complaint to the manufacturer)
You may also get more joy dealing with your reseller as well - as the sales contract is with them, and they should be the ones making it right, and then it will be up to them to claim back from the manufacturer.
I've found printing out the guide and taking the relevant section in with you when you visit a retailer has worked every time. It got my fridge fixed out of warranty, and my PS3 replaced when the DVD drive died about 2 weeks after the warranty expired.
I'm pretty sure people don't need to be present to be charged with a crime.
Or are you saying that if I killed someone then skipped the country I couldn't be charged with murder ? even if I admitted to it ?
And the linguistics are quite important as generally, you can't extradite someone for 'questioning' (and to be honest, unless something has changed, I don't think he's even been accused of the crime, at the moment he is an interested party that is wanted for questioning, which couldn't be done in the month he was there waiting for them to question for some reason (apparently the police officer was sick or something) and when asked if he could leave and given permission by the prosecutor, found it couldn't be done by video (Scotland yard or the Swedish embassy) after the prosecutor changed his mind the instant (well, within hours) he left the country, but for some reason he had to travel back to Sweden for it. (even though it has since been shown that it's actually quite common to be questioned remotely by video hookup for this sort of thing)
Strange, my Telstra 4G LTE USB dongle seems to quite happily connect to and obtain 4G speeds (30Mbps down, 10Mbps up)
I was unaware I was imagining this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention ! Also, Telstra are not turning off their 3G network, they are just not using 3G over the 2100Mhz band and keeping it on 850Mhz only.
Not only that, but if you borrowed his key and made a copy of it, that in itself is not actually illegal. What you do with the copy may or may not be illegal however.
You do realise VAT is a tax you add then pay to the government so it doesn't actually affect your bottom line, right ? If you added VAT and then didn't pass it onto the government then you are ripping your customer off. (And possibly the government, depending on where the customer is located)
He then documented everything, and went to the bank the next day and told them about it, showing them the CCTV footage he had made a copy of before deleting and gave them the photocopies he had taken as proof. He explained to the bank that the reason he's done this was because the week previous he'd tried to tell them about this problem and they had simply laughed at him and wanted him to open an account, costing him $10,000 of his own money he'd never get back before they would entertain the thought of listening to him.
This was very similar, except for the arrest part. Out of about 5-6 companies, only one took him seriously, all the rest issued threats, denied there was a problem or told him to become a customer so he could log a trouble ticket with them.
You could actually read the summary and then follow the various twisty passages to the actual article source..
To be honest, that would be a lot more persuasive, than him just saying 'the article refers to a yahoo news story, which refers to an arstechnica story which talks about an entirely different thing that was reported on slashdot a few days ago already' because chances are, you'll STILL require him to somehow prove it while doing no research yourself.
I do however recall reading on slashdot about the entire iOS/Android market share swinging in Apples favour by a few fractions of a percentage, I'm just lost trying to find the actual article I read this in.
I'm not too sure where you're getting your information from, but maybe you don't read the same slashdot I read. If anything, you are more likely to be modded down because you ARE a troll and simply trying to spread disinformation.
I think (s)he means that YOU won't care if (s)he comes to your house and takes your stuff. Other people may care, but claiming that the original owner of the stuff cares is probably a shaky position to hold.
In both Australia and New Zealand, the onus would be on the manufacturer to prove that flashing new firmware caused the flames to spout from the USB port (or the dead pixels etc). US law may be different, but a lot of countries have some pretty decent consumer protection laws. In the case of ASUS, they would still need to honour the warranty on the rest of the device, and if flashing caused loss of DRM keys and such forth that were not able to be recovered with a factory restore, they would quite probably have to make this abundantly clear to the consumer that this was the case or it could get messy.

You may also want to do some actual research about marriage and where it came from, instead of quoting what you've been told by other people that also haven't bothered to research it.
Try starting with the words etymology.. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=marry
So why not setup your own CA, install the CA into your computer/device and then use that to sign your certs.
Voilà, no more popup warnings.
Do you understand what a double negative is?
not (not smart)

I was responding to the part of the post "Are you jealous when other people look sexier than you?"
Hopefully that should answer all your questions.
Seriously ? have you not heard of Samantha Brick ? it seems they are.

Upon hearing this the bank arrested him.
