It already is in the hands of the axe grinders. They have been far more vocal than a rant on a forum. And, yes, I am intolerant of those who arbitrarily decide what adults can see using any form of the "think of the children" bullshit *and advocate that it is applied by default*.
Porn mags are sold to children. It's illegal but still happens and is the fault of the newsagent. Should every adult who wants to buy one put their name down on a list - and thus be marked - so the innocent kiddies don't get their minds warped? When it comes to online porn it is the responsibility of the parents (i.e. a proper opt in system, which is not what O2, BT and others are implementing under an insidious and undemocratic threat of legislation).
Is it opt in when it is set by default by the ISP? Or do you consider it to be "implied" opt in, just like Summary Care Records and the care.data transfer, where if you don't even get informed that it happens you are deemed to have agreed to it?
No. What this is is a default on filter that you specifically have to opt out from in order to see such subversive content as Childline. Alternatively, it could be stated as a system where you have to specifically opt in to see the same sites as you did yesterday (like Slashdot). Now they have your name and the knowledge that you are a disgusting immoral piece of pond scum of the type the hysterical mouth foamers of the hypocritical Daily Mail would advocate stringing up if they thought they could get away with it.
This is something that has no legislative backing and no Parliamentary support. That that cunt Cameron threatened ISPs in the first place because of some shrill bitch few have even heard of makes it even worse.
The EU directive (that has been ratified into local law by most countries) varies according to the type of item, but it does indeed state two years for electronic devices such as phones (white goods get more), after which the onus is on the consumer to prove a manufacturing fault and usually the most you can expect is a repair or replacement. If the item in question is no longer made then you might get an equivalent value *at time of sale adjusted for inflation / RPI* item.
The reason Apple is getting told off all the time is because they try to dodge the law all the time. Dell won't publicise your statutory rights but they don't go out of their way to mislead you into thinking you don't have any.
It *is* a warranty, a manufacturer's warranty, codified under statutory rights law as distinct from an after purchase warranty that is provided by the seller. Thus Apple (the manufacturer) have a manufacturer's warranty for an iPhone and Apple (the seller) can also offer you a (extended) warranty. *Those* are two separate things.
When claiming under manufacturer's warranty your first recourse is the place you bought it from and *they* have to go through the hassle of fighting with the manufacturer (though PC World tried to dodge that when I had a faulty Transformer). However, the seller has to fulfill the conditions to the buyer then and there, making it like a charge back on a card.
Weasel word bullshit in EULAs does not apply. If you can't take out a clause then you can't enforce any of the contract. There is no middle ground; it's all or nothing.
If a part of a contract that is rendered null and void by reason of illegality or other reason such as advantage to one party to the detriment of the other cannot be removed from the contract then the entire contract is null and void.
I noticed this slowdown on the VMs I manage for legacy *native* IE6+ (because emulated doesn't cut it, it *has* to be the real thing) last Wednesday. I left one VM "running" Windows Update for 4 hours and it still hadn't finished "checking" for the 11 updates I knew it would want. As I needed to use my machine for actual work I couldn't leave it any longer...
J K Rowling is on record (as are plenty of people who know her personally, like Stephen Fry) as saying her name is pronounced "Row", as in boat or table. Not "roll", "role" (though the French pronunciation of "rôle" is close), "row" as in argument or any other dumb, lazy, couldn't be arsed to say names right variant.
It's like Shrewsbury; Shrews as in, well, shrews, not "shrose" like Shrove Tuesday.
Sauce for the goose. You're not going to convince a Buddhist that they are wrong by plastering a rule set everywhere either. But that's OK to do because they *are* wrong, right?
And the irony of your quote attempting to say that Christianity is right and Satanism (or indeed any other myth) is wrong being that The Screwtape Letters are ostensibly from a senior demon / devil to a younger one...
Though C S Lewis was in full apologist mode after Tolkien told him that Christianity was the only true myth when he wrote that.
Get documentation. Get a new job. Get them in the shit.
You've tried many times already to alert them to problems and the fact that there is illegality involved means they don't give a fuck. So why should you?

You were doing well until you started inventing words.
The British Empire tried that. It was pretty successful at the time and the real problems started when countries started asserting their independence.
Replace with "Lex Luthor" and suddenly there a sense of déjà vu...
Something along the lines of "Argentum in magis populus"
My insurance went down because I don't crash all the fucking time for the tenth year running with this particular insurer.
Oh, so when they use it as an excuse it isn't a logical fallacy? Nice double standards you've got there.
No, it can still discern light and dark but with no detail.

My i5 ASUS laptop has a sliding lens cover, so it's not as if this is a radical new idea...

It stalled (I guess), all I got is the poxy "progress" and a CPU pegged at 100%.
Core i5 with 16GB RAM since you ask with the 32bit VMs getting 2 - 4GB. I only run them one at a time and the Win 7 and 8 VMs run no problem.
Income tax was a "temporary" thing as well...

Except in USA.

Yeah, like not killing (murdering really, killing in the name of your deity is just fine) being number six.

There's also the chance that MarcoAtWork didn't have them that badly. It is possible to have mild cases that provide immunity without side effects.
*His responsibility*? Fuck that noise. He tried already. They don't care. Fuck them. He owes them nothing.
