While I was shopping at an Office Max about a year ago, a man returned a "router" that, as he explained, was in fact a box filled with rocks. They exchanged it for him on the spot.
I honestly can't speak to the legal differences, but I can tell you as an American I have an expectation that I can return problematic goods to the retailer. As you mention, this seems pretty important to their added value.
Logical error. The government does not pass laws that violate the commerce clause if the Supreme court says they don't. That's how our government works.
That's nonsense. The Supreme Court is made of humans who can make mistakes.
Why go to all the trouble of picking candidates with law backgrounds and the confirmation hearing and all? However they interpret the constitution will be correct by definition, right?
True, but in a good way. It's a pretty harrowing experience for the innocent victim but at least it was just a prank. A more nefarious criminal could use the same exploit to send a SWAT team to the other end of their jurisdiction while they carried out a robbery. This way the security flaw can be found and fixed with relatively little harm done.
True enough. But couldn't he have sent them to an empty lot with a porta-potty? That sounds like more fun anyway.
I would've read your comment if you had capitalized the first letter of your sentences. I suspect you're not all broken up about that, but there it is. If the writer can't be bothered to hold down the shift key, then I guess that conveying his message isn't all that important.
That number is never truly OWNED as it is recirculated once the book goes out of print; many books have the same ISBN but only one in print book at a time can use it.
I've been the victim of a stolen vehicle before... and I know police really don't give a diddly squat about stolen vehicles. Sure, paperwork will be filed but that's all they do. When a stolen vehicle is recovered it's almost always recovered due to happenstance. So, my question is.. what makes anyone think police care about your $1000 laptop when they barely care about your $20,000 vehicle as it is?
The impression we get from TV crime drama is out of touch with reality. For lack of resources or otherwise, even violent crimes don't get the attention CSI portrays. I was shot by a robber at a friend's house, and the detective declined to review the crime scene with me. When the police allowed my friend back into the house after they collected the evidence, he pointed out the shooter's hat was still on the table.
There's nobody with tweezers going through the carpet looking for hairs. Nobody really gives a shit about a laptop or a car except the victim.
As I always tell people, what If I am emailing my doctor about Viagra.
Well, you could be, but then your doctor needs to set his software up so that he allows incoming mail on that topic.
It just feels like there's an over-emphasis on an elegant learning algorithm (which doesn't seem to work) when something simple that knocked out mail based on what we know SPAM to look like.
Rotating in a soybean year is standard operating procedure. But soybeans don't really get you far in fixing extra nitrogen for the next year. Put in a couple years of alfalfa or clover and then we're talking.
A lot of the nitrogen in fertilizer in the US comes from processes dependent on energy from fossil fuels or their equivalent. Anhydrous ammonia, for instance, generally requires natural gas.
It's true that rotating with nitrogen-fixing plants can reduce that dependence, but it's certainly going to cut into the effective yield/acre.

Yeah, I'm OK with that. Jock is a subset of athletes.
I think that's pretty stupid.
There's a natural slide of words into meaning just good and bad. It's not very useful, because we already have those words.
That's certainly better than none, but it's not such a good deal for a 15 billion dollar company.
($150 x 10^6) / ($15 x 10 ^9) = 1%

Why the hell didn't you buy a cheaper phone, then?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Use the intraweb thinger to look up stuff.

He's spot on. Tubes add even harmonics. People like octaves and fifths.
There's a huge difference between transistor and tube amps for guitars when they're operating in saturation. Anybody can hear that difference.
I think chess is too abstract to teach lessons about the strategy warfare. Maybe something like, the lords don't care about you if you're a pawn.
This doesn't seem like a huge disaster for Microsoft to me.
These people are still buying a MS Windows license. Maybe they'll even buy an upgrade to Vista later.
Americans work in August.
This is why we need ISBNv6.

I've always wondered why Thunderbird couldn't figure out that messages with both Viagra and Cialis in the subject line are SPAM.
If you can't tell the difference by watching it, who cares? Analog vs. digital is an implementation detail. Is the end product good video or not?
I'm not sure you understand the purpose of peeing.
