Godwin's Law doesn't say anything about ending the conversation. It isn't even really a "law" but merely an observation that, eventually, people will refer to the historical events from 1932 to 1945 in Europe.
People who try to censor talk about that period, I suspect to be trying to cover up history. And I think that's wrong. It happened (as did the Terror in France during the 1790s)(and Pol Pot in Cambodia)(and on and on and on). We have a responsibility to remember those historical times when government trampled people like ants, because it WILL happen again if we are not vigilant.
Bullshit. I've seen videos where people use these sentences, and all they do is make the Cop angry and then matters get worse. Those phrases escalate the situation into a conflict. In one case it escalated into a pastor being drug out of his car and beaten, simply because he kept asking over-and-over "Am I free to go?" like a broken record.
The wisest course is to just say "no" to searches, and then shut your mouth like Ghandi and MLK Jr. did. Passive resistance. It also prevents you from saying something stupid that might self-incriminate yourself. See the video "Don't Talk To Cops" on youtube.
Hundreds of stories where Apple's sales people find reasons to DENY the right of return (like the box being damaged and therefore not resellable). Go ahead. Search for yourself. There's policy and then there's reality, which in Apple's case appears to be polar opposites.
>>>you did not deserve it, but it IS your fault for not making sure you have your butt covered.
That's what the rapist said during his trial. Fortunately the judge was not stupid. And neither am I - my boss ERASED my timecard.
He is a criminal just the same as a rapist is a criminal. Anyone who sits here and thinks it was "okay" for my boss to approve all my previous timecards (weeks 1 to 51), but then erase me Week 52 timecard, must be an asshole. I certainly wouldn't want you as my manager .
>>>>>A woman does not deserve to be raped just because she wore a skimpy black dress, and neither did I deserve to be unpaid >> >>I fail to see how those two are related, unless your intention was having sex in exchange for money.
That's because you also failed to read the whole paragraph which continues: Do not blame the victim because she wore a skimpy dress, or he failed to print a copy of a timecard. Blame the criminal for breaking the law.
>>>It is your responsibility to keep and/or print the timecard. You are told this specifically, it is a condition of your employment.
I did. I typed in the card to their machine, which I suspect my boss later erased because he wanted to save some money ($2000). There was nothing in my contract that I had to print the card... nothing at all. AND as I stated printing the card was impossible because the function was disabled.
You think you can sit here and justify my bosses' erasing of my timecard from the HR computer, but there is NO justification for that. My boss committed a criminal act (paid me for weeks 1-51 and then erased week 52). Only assholes would think that's okay. i.e. The type of managers who also think it's okay to erase employees' timecards from the computer.
>>>"Your own means" is theft from the credit card company, not theft from Apple.
Clearly you know nothing of my work (or how credit card companies work). When you return an item and a company (say Apple) does not refund the money, the credit card will suck the money out of Apple's account and give it to you. Apple would be the one who loses, as it should be, because they are the ones who made a broken phone and should be handing out a Free fix

Given the context of the Antichrist story is the Bible the mark of the beast is probably not a number, or even a visible mark. Christ marked his followers by baptizing them..... the Antichrist would likely follow a similar ritual.
>>>Always good to see uneducated crazies are all over the world.
Always good to see people who are intolerant of Christians. If you can be tolerant of gays, and tolerant of people speaking ideas you disagree with, why can't you be tolerant of Muslims, Jews, and Christians too? They have as much right to "pursue happiness" as anybody else, even if you disagree with their religious philosophy.
Oh and you know what? I agree with the Indian Christians that I don't want to be marked by the "beast", except in their world the beast is the antichrist. In my world the beast is the New Noble Class that has taken over democratic Republics around the world. I feel like Rip Van Winkle - went to sleep in a (mostly) free world and woke-up wearing Serf's clothing. Do this. Don't do that. Buy a Prius. Or else be fined.
It's like we're reliving the fall of the Roman Republic, which was a democracy (100BC), then fell into a dictatorship, and finally feudalism (after 300 AD). Except of course we're repaying karma at a vastly-accelerated rate.
You seem knowledgeable. Where can I find an Apple Mac video player that can play at double speed, and without distortion? (Like the 2xAV plugin for Windows Player.)
I'm beginning to think buying a Mac was a mistake if I can't find such a simple function for it.
I suspect Apple's about to get hit hard with a class action lawsuit (faulty phones)..... followed by a government investigation into Apple's 80% dominance in the MP3 market, and 90% dominance in the online music store business.
Yes you're right but at the same time, price-fixing ("pricing constraints") is not going to fix the problem. All it does is create shortages (because businessmen run-away from industries that lose money). See the Soviet Union and the rampant food shortages they had. The EU seems to be copying the same idea for the computer industry, and it won't work any better.
The computer industry is not exactly a free market, but then neither was the videotape or music industry (VHS, CD dominated) and things worked out okay for the consumer. They were not ripped off. Besides computers are becoming more free as Microsoft loses share (dropped below 90%) and alternative companies/browsers are chipping-away at Internet Explorer. Plus the rise of the internet has provided a universal standard by which people communicate and do work.
Consumers have more computer choice now than they had in 1995 or 2000. This sounds like a solution looking for a problem that is already fixed/diappearing.
Yeah nothing at all. Well except for that video of US soldiers killing innocent journalists and children (and then laughing about it). And revealing ACTA in its early carnation. And other information that the People deserve to know. But yeah other than that, it's worthless than an NES.
I found this bit interesting. I wonder if the owner has been pressured to not renew the license? Or maybe he's just lazy. (shrug). "the site failed to renew its SSL certificate, a basic web protection that costs less than $30 a year and takes only hours to set up..... Wikileaks' head Julian Assange declined to comment." - What's he hiding?
Corporations are responsible for the actions of their agents while said agents are on the clock. So sorry I'm not buying your "the corporation is innocent" defense.
>>>Is it right to commit fraud against one corporation in order to cause grief for another
Apple committed the fraud of selling a defective device. So yes I consider it okay. Of course I would give Apple an opportunity to do the right thing (refund the money, or provide a free fix), but if they don't then I'm not going to just sit on my ass and do nothing. I'll get that free fix using my own means.
It's just the same as I won't let a person walk into my house and rape me. I'm not going to just lie there and allow it to happen. The guy is going to get kicked in the balls. Same applies to the Dishonest Apple Corporation that raped my wallet and gave me defective phone.
>>>Your fault for not keeping copies of your timecards.
No not my fault. A woman does not deserve to be raped just because she wore a skimpy black dress, and neither did I deserve to be unpaid just because I didn't print my timecard. Don't blame the victim when it is the criminal/corporation that is at fault.
Besides I couldn't print the cards since no such function existed. (Even the prnt scrn button did nothing.)
"120 MHz will come from broadcasters" according to the article, and if you've been following the FCC broadband discussion, that means taking 20 channels from television (31 to 51).

Two wrongs DO make a right. It is why we lock people in jail (depriving them of freedom) and call in 'justice'.

I get about $1000 cashback from various cards, so I'd say it makes me frugal and budget-consciouos (or a cheapass depending on your view).

So however you look at it, you get fucked.
