The fact that you're talking about a trip a few months off to find a case that doesn't work for you is pretty telling. That's pretty much the definition of an edge case. Why are you basing your car buying decisions on a couple of hours of charging on a trip you take pretty occassionally? I suspect that you wouldn't constantly drive around in a moving van for the twice a year situations where you want to move some furniture?
Electric cars don't have to meet every use case a gasoline car can meet before they should be considered a reasonable alternative.
The title is in reference to chapter titles in some older humorous books. The house at Pooh Corner is the one that I can think of, but it's in others from the same era.
For instance,
"Chapter IV In Which it is Shown that Tiggers Don't Climb Trees"
The author is implying that it's another piece of an ongoing saga that's got some silliness in it.
All of those can be done with a guy spending two seconds typing in the name of new beers when they come in.
Also, St Augustine's in Vancouver does the whole live update menu thing and has for years. They have it over the bar and on screens over the urinals in the bathroom. I'm assuming they have flow meters or some other type of instrumentation set up.
So you think appointing a woman to a political position... hurts equal opportunity for women?
You seem to be working on the assumption that a lesbian inherently can't be a reasonable choice without taking PR into account.
Why don't you think this person's proved herself and in what scenario would you think that the political appointment of a lesbian isn't primarily for PR reasons?
Neat, I'm also in Canada and when I had head trauma they observed me and because it looked at least somewhat risky I got a CT scan within a half hour of walking into the hospital. Then when I started showing additional symptoms and the CT was reviewed I got an MRI, also within a very short period of time. The bleed ended up stopping itself.
In the year after that I had another MRI because of some continuing symptoms, in that cases there wasn't an emergency so I had to wait a while, and that's fair enough. Yeah, it's possible something horrible had happened again, but it was unlikely.
While it's certainly possible that your exchange was some horrible problem with the medical system, it's more likely that this:
"That sounds like an emergency, can't we get bumped up the line?" "No, the system does not view this an emergency."
was the doctor telling you he didn't think it was critical enough to escalate. Yeah, there is a system in place, but if a doctor actually has a reason to push for something due to a possible emergency he can do it. If you've had a concussion and it's been a little while and you're not symptomatic it's pretty darn likely that you don't have a bleed. It's not standard practice to perform imaging unless there are certain indicators:
The Internet was funded with US taxpayer dollars and has been open to the world to use without financial consideration or gratitude for the research money that went into it. If the US Govt wants to run the root servers that is purely a domestic US issue. Like the GPS system (also US taxpayer financed in the billions and used by the world without gratitude or financial consideration), if people in other countries or Americans don't like the US govt administering it, go build your own.
We built our own. It just happens to be attached to yours.
Ah, I assumed you were talking favorites in the start menu and running using the run dialogue. I really don't understand why anyone would be suprised to have explorer open the links if you're specifically typing them into explorer. If you're opening my computer specifically to type in the address, I don't see how it'd be any different to open firefox and type in the address, which would make a great deal more sense.
It sounds like you don't have firefox set as your default browser. Those things shouldn't be happening. If, in firefox, you go to Tools -> Options and then look at the general options section, there should be a button to press that'll set it as the default.
Yes, because all the information isn't readily available in the original SA thread. It's obviously not possible for you to come to your own conclusions! As such, you are, of course, entirely justified in randomly whining that you don't have enough information and people jumped to conclusions!
I have no idea, but you obviously missed the blatantly fake verisign popup, and the fact that you could just enter transactions into the website like they were already paid up and there wasn't actually a way to send money.
Why the hell are you even arguing this if you haven't read everything? You're saying a guy deserves to be prosecuted for fraud, without having any idea what the hell you're talking about.
Good work replying to the part of the parent that you disagreed with while ignoring the important part! The verisign secure pop-up was fake. The site also didn't actually have a way to send it money. There's no way in hell it was a legitimate site and there's no way the other guy thought he'd actually sent it money.
The thing didn't even work like an escrow. The product was never to be inspected or shipped through them. They had no way of verifying anything at all.
This "just knowing" that someone is guilty is due to actual investigation into the situation. You know... a reasoned look into the available information. It's not like the people involved started randomly harrassing people when names came up, as is evidenced by the fact that they looked into the name on the whois information, and then let him be as there was nothing that concretely linked the person to anything.
The escrow site didn't even function properly. It wouldn't have even been possible for the guy to have sent it money. There was no way the guy wasn't lying about having sent money to the escrow site. There was no way in hell the sender was getting charged with fraud.
(There's also the fact that it obviously *wasn't* escrow, as the item was sent directly to the buyer, and not to the escrow, making the whole thing pointless.
What the hell are you talking about? The package wasn't insured. The value was set for customs, but the package wasn't insured. Even if I'm wrong, what the hell would the damages be? Fedex has nothing to sue *for*. No actual damages were incurred and there was no intention to cause them, as is shown in the incredibly well documented SA thread.
You CAN NOT COLLECT money through paypal (even from willing benefactors) to defraud someone.
What the hell? Who's going to bring charges? Nothing was done against paypall, so they have nothing they can complain about. The scammer sure as hell isn't, as he was scamming and obviously intended fraud as he didn't put money into an escrow account as he said he had.

I REALLY hate the concept of service animals...
Haha, What?

Looks like they turned over a hell of a lot of kegs recently for whatever reason.

There have been more wars since the UN's inception than in any other period in history of similar length.
I would very much like to see you prove that.
Could the USA claim the Canadian rejection of the DMCA violates NAFTA somehow?
NAFTA isn't relevant to copyright law at all, as far as I know.
The original Privateer was sprite based like all the other Wing Commander games, this remake is 3D rendered
What? WC1, 2, Academy, and Privateer were sprite based. All the other Wing Commander games used 3d engines.Ah, I assumed you were talking favorites in the start menu and running using the run dialogue.

Could it be argued that they are Certified Engineers of Microsoft Systems?
No, because Microsoft doesn't have the legal right to certify engineers in Canada.
The PDF is a fucking summary. It summarized. You don't expect all the supporting detail to be included in a summary.
Yes, because all the information isn't readily available in the original SA thread. It's obviously not possible for you to come to your own conclusions! As such, you are, of course, entirely justified in randomly whining that you don't have enough information and people jumped to conclusions!
I was posting in the thread as it happened. Thanks, though... Learning to read might be a nice thing.

He's a real american hero.
He probably drives a Ford truck.
OH NOES!
you win at INTERNET!
How the hell can the buyer do that? He said he sent money to the escrow site when he couldn't have actually done it...
"Hey Jury! I lied! But the escrow site made me do it, somehow!!!!"
The escrow site didn't even function properly. It wouldn't have even been possible for the guy to have sent it money. There was no way the guy wasn't lying about having sent money to the escrow site. There was no way in hell the sender was getting charged with fraud.
