But the law only applies if somebody is doing it on purpose. Mistakes are not "unfair trade practices". Sending you something other than what you DID ask for, if it is a mistake, is not an intent to defraud you and so the unsolicited merchandise law does not apply. You see?
It appears that it is you who don't know the Unsolicited Merchandise law.

Megan Garber is being destroyed in the comment section of The Atlantic. There are nearly 50 comments... all of them pointing out how clueless she is about design, how Wikipedia is actually well laid out, that she doesn't know what an empirical truth is , etc...
Oddly enough, Wikipedia has some interesting info on The Atlantic-
"In 2010, The Atlantic posted its first profit in the last decade... was the result of a cultural
transfusion, a dose of counterintuition and a lot of digital advertising revenue."
It has already been suggested in the comments that she may be nothing more than a comment troll.
If you found Megan's article to be insightful, be sure to read her similarly penetrating articles:

Slashdot of 10 years ago would have had a lively debate about the ethics of your experiments and the pro/ con of animal experiments used in education. Sadly, you can see many of the comments have devolved into first posts, Nazi comparisons and knee-jerk animal rights propaganda. Some of us old timers would have been thrilled to be able to probe neural activity in advanced biology (in addition to fetal pig dissection ). Don’t take the negative comments too personally, were not the Slashdot we one were.
Twelve years ago an almost identical paper was on the office wall of a chemical engineering professor I had in college. I'm mostly kidding with my subject line - I expect there's novelty in the new paper and just want to point out that this has been used as a model system (probably many times) before now.
I believe you are referring to Md Nurul Hasan Khan. In 1999 he published a paper proving Guinness bubbles fall. As far as I know he was the first.
When I was a kid, MP's used to guard the gates at our military bases. Care to guess who does it now?
I suspect this is a result of our military being overtaxed- most soldiers are either overseas or stationed in sensitive positions. This will probably change as we bring them home from Afghanistan.
Is this a firefox bug or/. bug? I'm using Iceweasel 3.6.12 on Debian and two tabs open kick me to 100% CPU. Other comments mention disabling js and css to get multiple tabs open without pegging the box. I'm wondering if the candy can be turned off without crippling the site... my old classic settings seem to no longer be working.
What you are describing is an isolated system, a system that neither exchanges matter nor energy with the surroundings. A closed system would be one that does not exchange matter with the surroundings. The earth is nearly a closed system, but definitely not an isolated system.
Wikipedia does have a differentiation for isolated and closed systems. This could be new, or a common editor could be editing his non-standard preferences.
- Yes, I am an engineer.

So I had to move on to Lubuntu with LXDE. It is lightning fast and very small now, but even there you have to be careful not to pull in to many Gnome dependencies. Unfortunately I need Nautilus, because I really like it, and it is the only file manager that Dropbox will cooperate with.
No, Hp is a unit of power measurement (like Watt). Torque allows the car to pull away from a dead stop. Diesel cars frequently have problems passing emissions in CA, mostly due to our fuel not being as clean as the diesel they sell in Europe.

Closed system has been defined to be both an energy and a matter boundary for years.

Have you tried Crunchbang? It's a small Debian based distro that uses many of the components in LXDE. They use Dropbox with Thunar and have a quick howto at:

You could try their live disc or use the howto to get a lighter filemanager to work with Dropbox.

I did my thesis in Word... I wish I hadn't. Half of the lab used LaTeX, other half used Word. Trust me, you saved time.
