Broadband is luxury. Electricity, plumbing, sewerage, water - those are public utilities.
The difference between Luxury and Necessity is defined mainly by affluence of the society. In the Phillipines, for instance, electricity is a luxury and education nearly nonexistant. The living conditions of the average citizen there would probably be illegal here.
The US is a rich nation, so our idea of necessity is different - broadband is becoming necessary.
What's to keep your typical 20 year MIT student from altering the data on the strip to push their DoB back a year and thus get into the bar 'illegally'?
What exactly is covered by the statute of frauds depends on the jurisdictions.
I'd like to point out that this is a pretrial ruling, so it's likely to be subjected to a more lenient standard of evidence - i.e. is this obviously untenable, or can it be argued.

Make it too hard and the abductor will just cut the hand off.
Microsoft has not been found guilty of any felonies
Just curious - if Microsoft were convicted of some felony, say Microsoft boosted a car, would Microsoft be facing time in the state lockup?
What stack of legalese? When I regsitered at , I didn't sign any stack of legalese. I didn't even have lab fees (having done Chemistry elsewhere)
Perhaps an exponential growth algorithm for our bank accounts.
Oh, that one's easy. It's called compounded interest.

This gotcha is one of the more famous problems in Computer Science. If you've been through at least 2 years of college, you should know about it.
Alumina, i.e. sapphires et al, have high thermal conductivity, and yet are almost total insulators.

How about the keg in their dorm?
You need metrics to prove to clients that you can perform based upon YOUR schedule estimates, not thiers.
what's wrong with basing your credibility on a track record of accurate estimates for similar projects?
n place of (# of Programs written) you need some sort of standard chuck size.
