i'd say refund your money and a new replacement... would not be adequate for a potentially fatal product, even if it's truly a rarity.
i don't think it would be for a lot of people.
If I bought a TV and two months in it starts spitting smoke and fire after normal use. And this is the first "samsung tv fire" i'd heard of... i'd probably see if it was something I did, nope nothing spilled, nothing chewed, nothing but a plugged in TV. i'd see if there was mention online i'd make mention online and post photos i'd contact the manufacturer and report it, and ask for them to pay damages etc. i'd buy a different TV.
the point being, my main concern would be to warn other potential buyers and users that this product might set itself on fire spontaneously.
if they're trying to pay me hush-money... then i'm almost certainly not going to keep quiet.
for a rare consumer defect that couldn't POTENTIALLY SET MY HOUSE ON FIRE... yes
for one that could, i think most people's consciences cost more than a grand. For someone who has fought fires for a living, it's probably significantly more than that.
how much would it cost for you to look the other way as a toddler dies of smoke inhalation?
you're focus is a little off too. you should also emphasize the "returned to the state department" 110 emails containing classified information at the time of sending- that they fucking forgot to sanitize before returning to body investigating them for wrong-doing.
get a mister bottle, fill it with some vegetable oil, go to town. throw some nutritional yeast flakes and kosher salt in a coffee blade grinder and toss that shit in a shaker.
not nearly as tasty... i'll admit, but infinitely better for your health.

the question isn't if you'd be unwilling to hire a programmer with a criminal history, it's if whether or not you'd hire that programmer with a criminal history over a programmer without one right?
ruthless competence is competent at being wily though.
don't think hillary is malicious though, not truly.
self-serving yes, but i don't know which i prefer, trump's damage mitigated by congress, or hillary's surface appeasement while selling our liberty to the highest bidder.
to be fair, i don't think either outcome would be what their bases think they'll get.
we're also not the ones who mixed her personal and professional lives. she is.
she's the public face of the state department, which has policies in place to make sure that their correspondence are both secure and archived... so people can go back and look into them to make sure everything is aboveboard.
she sacrificed her right to privacy on her private correspondence when she conducted professional business on the same server.
i don't want to see her fucking wedding photos, but i want someone to make sure that she wasn't selling access to the office of the secretary of state of the united states. and if someone with clearance in the justice department needs to comb through 4 years of "private" emails to make sure, then she has only herself to blame.
... the knock against her is that they were shredding documents that a federal prosecutor might see. she's not being secure now, secure doesn't mean destroy the files so that the people that can check or look for corruption cannot now.
i think the general idea is that if you're on a two year contract and the two years runs out, you're no longer under the two year contract. and if you expect to be under contract, that's your misunderstanding and your alone.
probably a very small group of customers number-wise, that are paying very little money to verizon, but are having an outsized influence on their network.

i'm pretty sure i could sue you for a refund if you sold me a cd and then kept the keys for 500 more.
and the judge would probably rule in my favor, and order you to pay for my court fees.
here's the car you bought. but if you want the keys give me an extra grand.
fuck you.
more or less. only stuff that I think won't get done except for with kickstarter support. and i'd much rather see done than not done.
think the last thing I backed was wasteland 2. don't really love it that much, but i support them making those types of games.
so many wingbats, so little time...
yes, the US started the mess. not the fall of the ottoman empire and redrawing of national lines that ignored ethnic and religious differences.
and god-forbid we hold the islamic world responsible even partly for islamic terror.
to be fair. unless you live in a handful of states in a handful of districts... your vote individually is largely academic to begin with.
ain't no way a couple people on slashdot are going to swing california red or texas blue.

nah, incompetent we can deal with. just vote good downballot.
malicious and competent is worse.
retroactively classified has a different flavor, and apparently, rice didn't use email period. her assistant did.

no, the responsible thing to do is to turn it over to the justice department and let them fucking shred it.
... the knock against her is that they were shredding documents that a federal prosecutor might see. she's not being secure now, secure doesn't mean destroy the files so that the people that can check or look for corruption cannot now.
meh, it's minor enough that i'll allow it.
everybody who you disagree with online is an asshole.
though... to be fair, most people are assholes in general, so... you know, safe bet.
i have no issue with this.
