As someone who never has and never will put photos on their iPod, the color screen is suprisingly nice and makes the old black and white displays look so ugly by comparison.
But wouldn't such a system rely on a specific set of predetermined factors? I know that the style and overall look is not just minorly different but can be completely different depending on where and how the signature pad is positioned (i.e. the vertical ones at Sams Club).
The problem with sig recognition is that your signature not only changes over time, but changes with the document you're signing the the materials you're signing with. Try it some time. Sign an electronic pad (and try different ones noting how they aren't always good writing surfaces. Then try signing a regular sheet of paper with a ball point pen, and then try a gel ink pen. From there, try signing a form on which you need to press hard to make duplicates. Last but not least, compare the signature on your last reciept to the one on the last legal document you signed.
How are they asserting you've been given a discount? If Lexmark sells their cartridges at $50 a piece retail, and sells cartiridges they expect you to return at $30, then that's a discount, and a real one at that. It doesn't matter if both are still heavily marked up prices, you're still being given a value less than the market value. Since you still have the option to purchase at $50, if you purchase at $30 you are accepting a discount, and thus a payment in exchange for a service to be rendered at a future time.
Not that I'm saying you're wrong, but you seem to contradict yourself. First you say the list price is the offered price and if they charge you differently, you can get it fixed by law. But then you go on to say that the offer is made at the time the total is tallied.
Contract formation: Generally, formation of a contract requires a bargain in which there is a manifestation of mutual assent to the exchange and a consideration
Contrary to common wisdom, an informal exchange of promises can still be binding and legally as valid as a written contract. A spoken contract is often called an "oral contract", not a "verbal contract." A verbal contract is simply a contract that uses words. All oral contracts and written contracts are verbal contracts. Contracts that are created without the use of words are called "non-verbal, non-oral contracts" or "a contract implied by the acts of the parties."
If a contract is in a written form, then generally, you are bound by its terms regardless of whether you have read it or not (L'Estrange v. F Graucob Ltd [1934] 2 KB 394). However, this is tempered by the exception that if the terms of the contract are misrepresented, then the plaintiff is unable to rely on the terms of the contract; in addition, the document must be contractual in nature (Curtis v. Chemical Cleaning and Dyeing Co [1951] 1 KB 805).
An implied contract can either be implied in fact or implied in law. A contract which is implied in fact is one in which the circumstances imply that parties have reached an agreement even though they have not done so expressly. For example, by going to a doctor for a physical, a patient agrees that he will pay a fair price for the service. If he refuses to pay after being examined, he has breached a contract implied in fact.
A contract which is implied in law is also called a quasi-contract, because it is not in fact a contract; rather, it is a means for the courts to remedy situations in which one party would be unjustly enriched were he or she not required to compensate the other. For example, an unconscious patient treated by a doctor at the scene of an accident has not agreed (either expressly or by implication) to pay the doctor for emergency services, but the patient would be unjustly enriched by the doctor's services were the patient not required to compensate the doctor.
And if that isn't enough, consider the situation when lexmark gives you a prebate. They are paying you (via a discount) for a service (the return of the empty cartridge) by taking the discount and failing to do so, you are doing the same thing as if a vendor took your money and didn't give you the product.
No, he can't. So glad you paid attention in school. Here's a hint for you, the National Guard is not under control of the president unless they are called into service of the Federal government. Once they are called into service for the Federal government, they become Federal troops. Federal troops can NOT be deployed to any state without the consent and request of that state's government.
1) So because someone writes something, it must be true?
2) How is pay pal supposed to know about SA's other donations? Were they all handled through pay pal? What makes you think anyone at pay pal gives a fuck who SA is or what they've done?
Hmm, when the busses and the planes leave, and you're living below sea level, and a hurricane is bearing down on you, I don't know about you, but I'm getting the hell out of dodge any way I can.
I dont' know about you. But if im living in a city BELOW sea level, with a catagory 5 hurricane bearing down on me, and a manatory evacuation order in effect, I don't care if I have to crawl on my hands and knees, I'm getting the fuck out of dodge.
If you had paid any attention at all in school, you would know that Bush could not send any aid other than FEMA. You do know it is illegal for Bush to deploy federal troops to a state without the request and consent of the state government right?
If it has a physical scroll wheel (i.e. a wheel that actually turns) it's a 1st Gen. If it has a solid wheel, but physical buttons arround the border, it's a 2nd Gen. If it has a solid wheel and buttons along the top of the wheel, it's a 3rd Gen. If it's got the click wheel like all the current iPods and iPod minis, it's a 4th Gen.
Not really. Only the $50 mark is credit, the $25 is cold cash. Furthermore, this money is going to come out of Apple's profits, that is, the money beyond the cost of the product they sold. Even if it's used at the Apple store, almost nothing apple makes is $50 or less so it would be used on a third party product, and in that case, the profits are going to be much lower. Apple will be losing money overall from this. Not as much as the total number of $50 credits handed out, but more than if they had won the suit.
The paramaters were decided based on the factory settings for the iPod which is how the original battery ratings and claims were developed. The simple reason that most people don't see the full claims of battery life from their iPod is because they use more power. They turn on the EQ, they turn on Sound check, they turn on the back lighting and they skips songs... a lot. Each and every single one of these things consumes more battery power.
But, if you want to be like most places and have coke or pepsi more or less GIVE you the soda (why do you think refills are free?) then you agree not to use or sell competetor products.
Hmm cancer kills you slowly over the course of a few years vs west nile which kills you quickly over the course of a few days. Me, I'll take the DDT. Having spent more of my youth outdoors than was probably healthy for me, I've seen first hand the difference between DDT and no DDT insect repellant, and personaly, if a little cancer is the worst of DDT, then sign me up for a bottle full. Besides, given that my power lines, my house paint, my cell phone, my computer, my car, the gas I put in my car and the fucking sun are going to give me cancer anyway, why the fuck should I care if DDT adds to it?

You mean to tell me Red Cross doesn't send verification/confirmation emails to the people that donate online? He couldn't ask for those?

because the stupid fuckers they're trying to save are shooting at them.
For what it's worth, it costs as much as I paid for my phone for a replacement battery for it:

Your 4G is still under waranty. Get it serviced.
Most people my ass. We get people comming into the stores all the time talking about this, long before the suit was even settled.
But, if you want to be like most places and have coke or pepsi more or less GIVE you the soda (why do you think refills are free?) then you agree not to use or sell competetor products.
