Or stop you on the street and if their drug dog acts suspicious, they can tear y our car apart there on the street, complete with cutting your seats and ripping the dash out of your car. "oops, no drugs, have a nice day" and drive off with you standing beside your now 'totaled' car.
Of course you can sue to be compensated after the fact, but good luck winning.
While i agree, consumer electronics is getting to the point you don't repair them, its cheaper t just buy a new one instead of pay someone an hourly fee close to 75% of the new shiny more powerful machine. When was the last time you had a TV repaired? Or a cell phone ( which also used to be stupid priced not long ago )
While talking about businesses, in theory the box lasts until its depreciated, and when it breaks after that its dumpster food.
Sure a few "repair careers" will be left, but 90% will be washed aside in the 'throwaway' society.
Ya, I agree a lot of people do consider it 'mineral uneducated work', at least until they need their roof fixed or their plumbing stops working and they cant figure it out on their own..
Of course back when i was in school, the 'computer techs' down the hall from our engineering classes were considered a 'trade' as well, to be lumped in with the HVAC guys and made fun of.. ( not that i did, but far too many so called "educated" engineers did )
Might have been a gag, but its actually a federal offense since he was falsely claiming to be an agent of the federal government, complete with forged documents ( the sticker ).
While i agree with you in a point to point comparison with something like excel/calc, what is in OO takes care of 95% of the users, which is most of the market..

Microsoft has it, OSS doesn't.
What about us using MFM drives with removable platters?
Eliminating will.
You have been sporked?
Is just another form of oppression.
You might as well be in Nazi Germany, or old school Russia.
Time to put that tinfoil on the windows too.
Yup, that is how it works.

They make happy meals now. There is still work for that segment of our population.

I guess it was a slow news day at the lab.
I agree, its f-ing movie, who cares if its realistic ? ( not that i like the series, but still )

I cover that stupid infrared thing anyway, it has a mind of its own and don't want it 'going off' at the wrong time. *I* want control.
Sinks are annoying too, move your hands at all and the water gets shut off. Their 'window' is rather small.
It wouldn't be murder anyway. It would be some sort of 'contributing' offense.
Paying out of his own pocket might have got him into some legal trouble with 'interference with a ongoing investigation' or some such nonsense.
I guess its not 20 bucks.
You mean you didn't install wine for them?
And how is that different then friends running windows calling you at 2am?
A persons OS of choice doesn't negate them having issues. It does perhaps change the types of problems however.
You beat me to it..
Everything we eat/drink is recycled.
Who ever stole it reformatted and is using it for bit torrent porn downloads now.
All you have to do is get them to exceed the limit and the car stops dead so you can calmly walk up and kill the occupants.
The first one is always free. Get people used to the device, then start squeezing them.
That is because if it gets to court most of the cases will be lost and in time they will lose all control.
Today, with their ties to the ISPs they still have power.
No due process required here, your contract states that your service can be changed/cancelled for ANY reason.
Not saying its morally right, but don't mix a civil contract with criminal law.
