"Plaintiffs claim that although purchasing tickets at southwest.com is "technically possible, plaintiffs found purchasing a ticket to be extremely difficult..."
They weren't even suing because they couldn't buy tickets, they were suing because it was too difficult. I'd argue that if they want the web price, they can suffer through the site. If I want to get gas, I can do so the easy way, and get gas by my house, or I can save $2.00 and go miles away to get cheaper gas. Unfortunatly, if they want the cheaper price, they will have to work for it. Nothing is perfect.

I never have done so, but I was in the errrm.... hospital with a guy who stuck his dog in the microwave. Apparently the smell was so bad that his parents left all the windows open and stayed at a hotel for a week. When they got back, the smell was still so bad that they promptly vomited as soon as they walked in the door. Needless to say, the microwave was ruined.
This is ridiculous. This so-called "issue" exemplifies everything that I can't stand about our society today. People today whine about every little thing these days. From the article:
Some obvious situations in which people could make mistakes
Have poor eyesight (narrow field of view or can read large party name but not smaller number).
They should have worn their glasses.
Left-handed and use right hand to steady the Vote Recorder, covering list on right.
They should look at the whole thing, it only decides the future of the country.
Are spatially challenged (can't read maps well) but can count.
Seems like the only valid point, but thousands of spatially challenged folks? I dont think so.
Doing things by rote from last time (double column is new for Presidential race)
?????
Cultural issues (don't understand the arrows)
If they don't understand the arrows, how can they understand the issues?
Thought arrows pointed to entire column, not specific hole, and are used to SAT-type tests with separate grid and ordered questions down the column.
Once again, ????
Nervous or confused by new voting style (just moved to warmer climate)
I voted for the first time ever this year, I didn't find it at all confusing...
In a hurry because voting lines are long and you're unexpectedly late for an appointment.
They are in a hurry? this is the freaking future of the country, people! Make some freaking time.
Why did it take them so long to find it? I'm thinking independance day. It's really an alien ship bent on destroying the earth, and they are trying to cover it up. Run while you can!!!

I couldn't follow the link, either my routing table is f-d up, or the site is down. /.ed already?
