I'm confused. When you say "can't read or write", do you actually mean "can't read nor write"? Now go ahead and have another little rant. I would appreciate it if you stopped making crap up like "most of us here", but feel free to continue with the over-the-top rhetoric. It's amusing.
Tiny little unimportant shit like "suppose" versus "supposed". Maybe you should read what you're responding to. [OMG! A dangling preposition! Call out The Royal Order of Grammarians!]
Ah, okay. Thanks for the followup. I really wasn't sure whether you were going that direction or not - at first read, I thought you had misunderstood.
I definitely don't understand the defamation exactly. It seems as if the penalty was excessive which might give him some recourse for damages of some sort, but that kind of reasoning could be applied to pretty much any discipline meted out at the High School level. Honestly, I personally hadn't heard about it until this article, so for me at least the Streisand effect seems to be coming into play.
I only posted once. I wasn't the one that started this chain, I was just pointing out the ridiculousness of an AC.
Now, who is it that needs to get their facts straight? What was that about big boys? Who's been swinging their dick?
Time to end corporate farming!!!!
I'm kidding. I'm from a farm and know that the bulk of "corporate farms" are family farms. Last I checked USDA numbers it was ~96%. Just thought I'd drop in with that before someone that's serious does it.
Sagehorn is the one filing the defamation lawsuit. [Thought I'd translate the AC for you since they weren't using their words. I noticed they were speaking in their outside voice, too. I'm thinking they might need a snack and a nap.]
If you were changing focus and saying there should be an additional lawsuit filed, one aimed in the opposite direction, that wasn't clear to me.
Nonsense, it absolutely was a felony. If you don't understand why then please go away.

Cool. I'm going to have to remember that approach. This whole "debating" thing is way easier than I thought. I had assumed you had to support your statements with facts - reasoning - logic. When do we transition to the uh-huh/nun-uh phase?
You read that and responded and all you can muster is whine about a trivial typo? If you disagree, say so. If not, shut up. When you behave the way you did, you just look like a moron.
I can never tell if you're serious, apk, or if you just do this because you find it amusing. Do you actually believe that your responses pretending to be a different person are fooling people? And yes, I know what a sock monkey is, but that phrase usually sets you off, so I'm not going to use it. (Hint: my prior sentence contained humor in the form of a contradiction).
It very well might. There's this one on eBay at the moment: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintag...
So, is there no surgical fix for your ears or is it just too risky/expensive/insert-other-reason?
Note for pedants: Yes. I know the ad is from 1980 and that the referenced patent expired long before now. You can silently thank me for saving you from a ranting response. And by "silently", I mean without responding. Even though posting the text could be considered silent. Unless someone has a reader. Or... Never mind. Rant away.
Many (most?) modern engines have knock detectors in them. If they are expecting higher octane fuel and you use something lower than specified, they retard the timing significantly to try to prevent pre-ignition. This results in a significant drop in power as well as mileage. The end result is that you'll pay more for the regular in loss of efficiency than you will save in cash. On my 1996 328i, the drop was ~20% in mileage (had a two week fuel shortage and couldn't get premium and I was pretty anal about tracking my mileage at that time). Premium isn't 20% more in cost (at least where I live it isn't). Add in the time spent making more frequent fuel stops and the potential for engine damage, and it's a money loser. Basically, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
It's nearly pointless trying to explain something to a non-engineer when it comes to these things. The fact that they brandished a safety rating without understanding that it has nothing to do with QA makes it unlikely that they have the background necessary to understand your point. Never mind that my remark was primarily tongue-in-cheek.
I second TonerRefillKits. A very complete kit. The first refill takes a bit longer than others because the replacement toner is incompatible with the Brother toner so you have to spend some time making sure you empty out the remains of the original. After that, refills are quick. The Brothers are designed for easy refill (unlike the Samsung color cartridges which were both painful and prone to leaking toner). You should be able to get 3 refills out of a cartridge before the roller starts smearing. Then take them to OfficeMax or whatever. I've refilled perhaps 50 of them and it was a smooth experience. The only trouble I've had with the Brothers is that the toner level optical sensor can go bad giving you false refill indications. Covering the hole in the toner carrier with a piece of black tape can help work around that, but it doesn't solve your problem.
Also, put the date of each refill on one of the provided stickers so you can keep track of how much life your cartridge has.

You're wasting your bytes. There's no one more qualified than single, childless people to talk at great length on marriage and child raising. In my experience, they're also chock full of advice. They also enjoy having that pointed out to them. All-in-all, just a fun group to hang with.

Unlikely. Inside sources have revealed that she shipped her server to the IRS for repair.
Circle the wagons! Circle the wagons!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Your sense of humor is even weaker than his google-fu.

Things could be worse. One of Musk's companies could be responsible for automative manufacturing.

Does that include the iPad?
