Seemed like a scam to me, however. If you're going to manufacture a product, I think that warranty law requires that the expense for under-warranty repair falls to the manufacturing company.
warranty law, but I hadn't gotten around to it. I'll bet they would be susceptible to a complaint with my state's attorney general consumer protection office.
My daughter got a Toshiba laptop as a graduation gift from her grandparents, and a few months into her ownership the keyboard died completely. Toshiba would not allow the device to be returned for repair/replacement under their warranty without first paying a phone "technician" $49 for a "repair consultation". The "tech" was a completely clueless English-as-a-second-language phone center guy. They offered to "refund" the $49 if their phone service did not help (hint - their phone procedures were useless with a broken keyboard). They then offered a $29 box to use to send them the laptop for repair/replacement. This company is pure garbage - they want $78 to replace a laptop keyboard that probably costs $5 or less.
I stand corrected - I did not read TFM, and obviously you did. If its not just a JMOL and includes a request for a new trial, Samsung would have a bit better chance based on the facts. I can't imagine the judge wants to put any more time into it though. From a logistics perspective, both sides are probably dealing with a very irritated judge by now.
That's been my only experience with it, was that QQ was on some Windows laptops that were messing up badly, and when I tried to uninstall it, I had a real fight on my hands. There weren't a lot of English instructions online about how to deal with it.

Yeah, I'm sure they have corporate lawyers working overtime to make this scam fit within a loophole.
Although the adjusted for inflation number (since 1979) shows that it's still only $1.00: http://www.randomuseless.info/gasprice/gasprice.html
for a decent product from a decent company.

allows for archiving. I don't know how this Toshiba manuals does not fall within the archiving exception?

I think she might be able to get away with kicking the can down the road and letting the appellate court deal with it.
I suggest DESQview...
Nah - looks and acts too much like OSX. He's looking for something modern.
Its free
That was awesome
I've got so much bare metal laying around, these days I've been installing onto a box and accessing it remotely - native performance is much nicer.
How dare someone ask a software preference question on /. Doesn't he know this is a politics/religion website?
Please Intel, keep making those big, inefficient chips.
And we might not ever get to enter Tron.

Because reversals almost never occur at the trial court level. This type of thing is usually the province of the appellate courts.
