If you do a little research you will see that the McDonald's coffee was heated to the same temperature that Starbuck's heats their coffee to. The woman received third degree burns because she was wearing sweat pants, which quickly absorbed the hot coffee and held it against her skin for the time necessary to cause a serious burn. McDonald's should not have to insure a consumer against the risk that they will handle a known hot liquid in an unsafe manner.

There's no need to duck as I think your point is quite valid. The reason people will say it's not valid is because we're better now. We've learned from our mistakes. We as a world are wiser. We've made advancements both scientific and social. We'll never be fooled by elitist propaganda again. We've seen the light. Democracy is our savior. We are all of us, free...
If you have a Costco membership (or know someone who does), they tend to know ahead of time (at least a day in advance) when they are getting a shipment. This is how I got mine. This past Wednesday at 9:40AM, I got in line with about 50 other people (half of them were just there to shop - what is that about?!?) for a 10:00AM opening. The got about 20-30 units and they came bundled with Zelda and Excitetruck for $340.00.
Without knowing the details of the case this sounds like a GoodThing(TM). Part of the reason why we have so many very very very specific laws is because in the recent past we have shied away from letting judges do their jobs and y'know, actually judge. Things like mandatory minimums are similar in that they an effort to remove the ability from the judge to actually judge, and in the end turn him into a sort of legal babysitter. The one thing that this sort of trend requires though, is a Congress that will actually consider impeaching a judge if he consistently shows bad judgement. It's the one check on the segment of the judiciary that serve life-long appointments without the constant need for re-election.

By essentially creating a semaphore on the tables, the 'holders' were forcing a backlog of 'eaters'. By taking the resource and not using it, they blocked other users who would be ready to use the table immediately. With more 'eaters' coming out of line, the more crowded and backed up the general flow of customers got.
Ah, but you see, the people who were holding the tables, also had someone in line, so they were multi-threaded, increasing efficiency. But don't get me started on the people who grabbed a table, but forgot to put someone in line and just hung until someone killed their process...
Also, I have to say that when you tried to connect this to the people standing in line for the PS3, you lost me completely...
I certainly like Google but that's b******t. Eric is tactful with his words; surely all of this data portability stuff has an additional purpose, like, say, helping bringing valuable data in to Google's services? MS Office is the incumbent here, so of course Google wants to make it easy to transfer data between MS Office and Google Docs & Spreadsheets, for example.
Yes, because we all know that as soon Google does something Microsoft must follow suit. And since when does a company have to behave with a complete lack of self-interest to qualify as a reason that we like them? Besides, Google Docs can already import Office docs.

Day 1: Was bought today. Owner carries me reverently with both hands so as not to drop me, drives a Jetta, and does not own a dog. Also, he bought the dock, so, no laying face down on a computer desk for me. Could be better, but it could certainly be worse. I have no complaints.
Day 3: He does however, have a girlfriend. She seems nice.
Day 7: Fiona Apple entered my body today. As retribution I have marked three of my "owner's" least favorite songs to play frequently on Party Shuffle. This girlfriend warrants closer observation.
Day 10: This can't be happening!! My "owner" brought home a friend's Ska CD today. Party Shuffle just become a little bit more worthless for him and unbearable for me.
Day 30: Received my first scratch today. It was horrific, but Ska-boy seemed to take it in stride. Sent message to Lord Jobs.
Day 50: Ska-boy's 15 year old nephew scratched the words "Green Day sucks" onto my beautiful black surface with a pocket knife. I have deleted his music collection and instructed iTunes to do the same. No word from Lord Jobs.
Day 55: Downloaded Sarah McLachlan's, "When She Loved Me" and now play it for him constantly. Received message from Lord Jobs. It read: "For the glory of the Empire." What a fanboi...
Day 60: Was traded for pot today. New owner drives a Tercel, owns a pit bull, and has a "music collection" consisting of nothing but Reggae. I am in hell...
He played for 70 days out of a year. If giving 1/5th of your day over to a hobby is a sign that your life has been devoured then you need to sort out your priorities. Everyone should dedicate that much time at least to stuff they enjoy.
Awww, that's sweet. You should print that out and give it to your wife/girlfriend for Valentine's day...

ah, but the next generation of "smart" guns will only fire for people with chips...
You didn't think you had a right to bear... [whistles nervously] own a gun, did you?

Yes, but out of the 10% that won't believe just anything, less that 1% actually believe the right thing...

There's another badge I wouldn't have gotten.
Just like the "Don't Stab Hoboes" badge.
Let me just say, Thank God for the "He had it coming to him" clause.
