Since it is a Craftsman tool, just return it to the nearest Sears store in the U.S. and Sears will replace it, free of charge. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state and eon to eon.
The Big Stretch is that the serial killer might only have 2 or 3 victims. A successful malware author can waste the equivalent of 10,000 lives in time and/or energy.
Same problem, but do not assume I am able to access the media between now and X years from now. Assume also I am flat broke and have no lawful access to privately owned real estate or safe deposit boxes, and have no reliable / trustworthy / willing friends or family to assume physical custody of the media. In other words, I am most likely talking about burying or otherwise concealing physical media in a public place in case I am out of the country or otherwise unavailable for a period of years. Other than encrypting and appending the data to a pron file:
1. What is the longest lasting / hardiest machine-readable media excluding paper tape or other overly bulky media. Flash drives?
2. Assume I have a small waterproof canister containing the media. What redundant waterproofing or other physical media protection measures should I take? Extra layers of waterproofing? Silica gel?
3. What is the most viable and secure long-term hiding place for the canister? Burial in a public park? Near a freeway on-ramp?
At first, you won't notice the extra iota of compression made by your feet against the piezo-floor-plate. But next year there will be budget cuts, and some bureaucrat will crank up the device to make the floor plates just a little bit squishier to extract just a little bit more kinetic energy... a couple of budget cycles later, it'll be like Grand Central Station, covered in mud.
RIAA inadvertently, or perhaps advertently, discovered that Mommies and Daddies of adult children attending expensive private schools will pay nearly any amount of money for protection if they think the alternative is a Bad Record that will keep little Janie from becoming a Doctor. So $3250, $7250, any damn amount of money, they'll gladly pay it.
What's sad is male-oriented products, e.g. razor blades, with packaging touting their contribution to womyn's diseases like breast cancer. When is Gillette going to give a piece of my razor-blade money to fighting prostate cancer?
The corridors of DoD workplaces are festooned with posters saying things like Never Give Out Your Password, so when I sought to raise consciousness about the IA risk from thumb drives I submitted a slogan and poster to DISA:
Don't Plug It In If You Don't Know Where It's Been
Passenger: My $8 cilantro-turkey-roll-lettuce wrap is cold!
Flight attendant: Sir, we heated it in the microwave, but by the time we reeled it back in, it had cooled down to 30-below. Would you rather have the $9 Pepperidge Farm cookie?
For now, the scientists are continuing to test different tequilas abilities to produce diamonds. Theyre also working on creating doped diamonds, which contain impurities, to serve as semiconductors.
If the "bailout bill" hadn't passed, there still would have been a stock market correction, and we taxpayers would still have our $700B instead of it being used for executive retreats, shareholder dividends, and mergers.
TV didn't used to be all night. After Johnny Carson the booth announcer would come on and read a long blurb about how the station is licensed by the FCC to transmit from Mt. Foobar with a radiated power of blah blah and serve the public interest blah blather.
Then they would show a film of a military band playing The Star-Spangled Banner and then they would turn off the transmitter, filling your living room with snow and white noise.
TV used to be three channels which is why millions of people voluntarily watched programs like Gilligan's Island or Mr. Ed. It took an act of Congress to set up a fourth channel.
Every drug store used to have a tube tester where you could bring in the vacuum tubes from your TV to see if they needed replacement.
When you turned off the TV, there was a little white dot that remained in the middle of the screen.
Before Sunrise Semester and Captain Kangaroo TV stations aired test patterns, and there was this Indian chief at the top of the test pattern. Evidently he held an exalted position among the gods of TV, who was he? Why isn't he on color bars? What is the technical significance of all those numbers on the test pattern?
Just put all your data on a removable volume and label it "NSA Military Phone Sex Tapes - Top Secret." Customs agents will have already heard the most juicy.mp3s and your volume will be passed over as old stuff.
When they eventually build a hotel on Mercury, I want an ice machine that works and doesn't keep running out of ice. So how big would such an ice machine have to be on Mercury? Would they have to charge $3 for a soda? I hate those tacky signs that say "No Filling Ice Chests."
Then, there were the waves of self-appointed petty tyrants who would delete your material or tell you what you were doing wrong, kind of like the petty tyrants who spring to life in every subdivision with a Home Owners Association.
Now there are entire armies of bots devoted to dissing and pissing on your original material that you put time, thought, and energy into. Who needs that shit.

No, I won't buy a Mac made out of breast milk! Can't make me!
Actually, it was the battery powered version that ruined your relationship.

And his finger was the more difficult appendage.
What, you don't have a power off switch? On most laptops just hold down the power button.
We didn't have color TV until I was 7.

Heck, I don't even trust digital gas pumps.
I need a gig. Can I be on your strike team? How much does it pay? I don't have to move to Ohio, do I?
