    I'm not sure why this is funny... buying items from a manufacturer is not a reversible transaction (outside of return policies and such).

  9. Re:And nothing of value was lost on Battle Escalates Between Airlines and Online Agents · · Score: 1

    What I found interesting was that they don't take cash anymore - just credit/debit cards - I guess that "...all debts, public and private..." printed on the money doesn't mean anything if you're an airline.

    It means exactly the same thing it does on an airline as everywhere else... it just doesn't mean what you think it means. To quote from the FAQ on the Treasury Department's website:

    This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.

  19. Re:The Truth Feminizm Hates on Homeland Security Drops Color-Coded Terror Alerts · · Score: -1, Troll

    The "friend zone" is the other excused by whiners who can't get laid in addition to the "friend zone". When someone tell you they "love you as a friend", they're telling you they can tolerate being around you but won't date you in a million years.

    I'm not a asshole, never have been, and also have never had trouble dating women, and am currently in a happy relationship with a wonderful and attractive girl.

    But I'm sure you, with your encyclopedia dramatica citations are the expert.

  20. Re:The Truth Feminizm Hates on Homeland Security Drops Color-Coded Terror Alerts · · Score: 0, Troll

    If the above is not true, then why do women choose to date assholes while they want all nice guys to die alone? Something to think about before you idealize them.

    Because most self-described "nice" guys are nothing of the sort. They're just boring guys without a personality whose only positive virtue is this so called "niceness"... a pretense that is quickly dropped once the girl they're trying to get with starts dating someone else.

  21. Babies pollute more than trillions of cars on One Giant Cargo Ship Pollutes As Much As 50M Cars · · Score: 1

    You're still the leech. They are providing a service, which is being paid for by advertising. If it bothers you so much, don't use the service.

    You don't get to say "oh stopping to buy a ticket slows me down and get in the say so I'm just going to jump over the turnstile" when you're getting in the subway. The same thing applies to ad supported websites.

    This lawsuit itself may be like The SCO/IBM lawsuit, the difference is unlike SCO which basically shut everything else down to go all in on their lawsuit, and they were dealing with a company hundreds of times their size, Oracle had $25 billion in revenue last year, and are very much the same league as Google. This fight will not lead to either company being bankrupted or really even move the needle very much regardless of the outcome.

    Dalvik was not part of the original android project. Google went ahead and built a clean room implementation after talks with Sun over Java licensing broke down. Dalvik was certainly programmed in house by Google.
