She did not contractually agree to be popped in the mouth by saying one more thing, nor can he claim that he gave a "proceed at own risk" type disclaimer that let him pop her in the mouth. He's still going down for domestic abuse, regardless of his warning or her saying one more thing.
It's one of the fundamental tenets of contract law, that contracting for a criminal act invalidates the contract.
IMHO and IANAL (but I hope to be one in 2 years), so don't take this as legal advice:
Hey, me too.
Liquidated damages are supposed to be an approximation of actual damages incurred. If they're not, then they amount to an illegal penalty, which courts do not enforce.
That's what made me think the TOS was written by either a layman or an incredibly incompetent lawyer.
If you're renting an apartment and want to get out of the lease early, go and find somebody else to finish off the lease for you. You ought to be able to get out of it because the new person means that they haven't suffered any loss.
I think it depends on the state. In Florida, for example, landlords have a duty to mitigate in that kind of situation, but not sure about other states. I think that sort of thing falls under property law rather than contract law.
Hahaha, this really is funny. I would love to be the one to litigate that. It would be hilarious to watch their lawyers attempt to explain that to an actual judge without getting either laughed out of court or screamed at.
That's construction. It's a nice shot in the arm in the beginning, but after it's done I don't see how the plant is going to bring massive amounts of money into the Dresden economy.
Probably you didn't notice. English (and I'm guessing German) have very strict word order rules, and the only place that Latin seems to beat English is (in my opinion) in future verb forms. Our future verbs tend to be kludges (I will have had, I will have been, he will have had had)
Not really, let's say they're each making 50k. 50 million a year. It stays 50 million a year, no matter how many people become the beneficiaries. Money isn't magical, one euro doesn't magically become two because another business moves into the neighborhood in order to serve the workers.
If you can get past the resumes into the interview phase, you normally can blow most everyone else out of the water using your analytical skills.
Well that's the tough part. And few interviewers will actually test your analytical skills in any meaningful way.
I think it's a common mistake to equate "these skills will allow me to skillfully perform the job" with "these skills will get me the job in the first place."
It was the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needee a heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Give me five bees for a quarter' you'd say. Now where were we?
When I saw that headline the first thing that popped into my head was the image of a big, bearded sailor with an eyepatch menacing a crowd of cowering scientists with a cutlass.
It is like suing a golf club manufacturer because china uses their specifi c model to beat dissidents.
First of all nobody's suing anyone. Secondly, there are some products that you know, companies shouldn't be allowed to sell to authoritarian regimes. Like stun guns.
So pretty much Gates an MicroSoft are evil because they made Windows and people use it to go on the internet sometimes, and some of those people commit crimes on the internet.
No, that's the most incorrect summary of anything I've ever read in my life. Well done.
Shouldn't it be Chinese Government and authorities that's to be blamed for violating human rights, before blaming world's richest man?
They ARE blamed before blaming the world's richest man. Amnesty International is a frequent, vocal critic of the Chinese government. They mention Microsoft in passing and everyone assumes that Redmond is the target of a huge AI campaign, but they're giving China itself a pass? This makes no sense.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh, wait a sec - it's the Daily Telegraph. Seriously, it's like the British newspaper equivalent of Slashdot.
So the readers actually do all the work of writing articles, and tomorrow's edition will have the same exact story?

10'000 online communities where everyone (mostly native english speakers) spells like english was their fifth language that they're still learning.
Hey, I've seen that online community you're talking about. It's called babelfish.

Nowadays neither type can find jobs.
It's a hell of a lot easier to get a job as a nurse than as a physicist and/or mathematician.
And with the math and logic skills that you will develop companies will actually want to hire you.
You have a very optimistic view of how human resource people think.
Apply to those jobs. Wait 3 months without hearing from them. Then go back on to monster. See the same jobs as before.
Most of them are illusionary.

Nah, they're identical.
3-D artists? What are they going to do, throw hot latte at you? Raytrace an unflattering caricature of you?
Never fear a guy with a goatee, a black turtleneck, and a beret.
Wait until the series of duplicate stories...
I wish they'd stop being so paranoid about not being mistaken for a computer, though. It would be nice to have a keyboard and mouse for FPS games.
Ha, I raise the bid to 5,000,000 kopins!

Let's just stop ALL science until we're absolutely sure of every ramification of every single thing we do.
Yes, I would have concluded the article was suggesting that extreme measure as well, if I were also a simpleton.
You don't have a right to own property. Find me it in the Constitution.
What property you do manage to end up owning have can't be taken away from you without due process. Taxes are levied with due process.

What should the USA do? Ban the sale of any product which could be used to violate human rights?
Sounds good to me. "We will not trade with you until you clean up your act". We've done it before, and it often works.
