If they don't care, they don't read it. For those people, any kind of message box is in the way of them getting to what they wanted to do and thus they click on YES just to get rid of the it.
So, what you really want is some sort of puzzle - a CAPTCHA like dialog that pops up, with detailed warnings and a multiple choice (non-yes/no) input requirement so you can't just click-thru without thinking...
It is bad enough to have food riots for natural reasons... why would you want to take responsibility for helping contribute to food shortages on purpose? Basic R&D is fine, but, for crying out loud, we don't need government subsidies to go into "production" quantities of this stuff, yet.
Sure, we need a replacement for fossil fuels... eventually, I just don't see how skewing food prices now will be a good thing in the long run.
I find I am using the search engines as a spell-checker. It is pretty handy to start typing a word and have it present the correct spelling. In these cases I never had any intention on clicking anything.
Looks like a bunch of "name brands"... the kind of thing a frugal shopper should avoid. You've heard of those brands because they pay a lot for you to hear about them.
Most of them make quality products, but some of them I have avoided specifically because I would like "unbranded" items. Just a quirk or mine, I guess.
Notice you don't see price "equalizers" on the list, like Google, Amazon, web travel sites, or heh, that famous "Kirkland" brand...
...you need to build all your own shit, from the ground up.
For now, anyhow. Maybe, in the future, it will be OK to buy your infrastructure off of Craig's List and eBay... (or various Euro conglomerates) but for now, if you want the job done right, do it yourself.
In this case, I think a Simpson's quote, from Nelson would be appropriate - "Ha Ha".
You probably carry too much stuff. Most people should be able to live for weeks out of a carry-on and a back pack. I did, and no, there were never any complaints about my smell or laughter when I wore the same outfit.
If my ticket costs less because you are paying $100 more for baggage, I say, "Bring it On"!

You do know "the sun king" has been dead for almost 300 years, right? And France hasn't had a king at all for more than 150 years...

The two phrases are "can you hear me?" and "I have a bad connection, let me call you back."
What are you guys going on about? Who would I want to communicate with anyhow?
Why are the most ubiquitous products the most buggy?
Maybe because they (products) need to be cheap and quick to market to become ubiquitous?
Remember the old "joke"?
* Cheap
* Good
* Fast
Pick 2
There are a lot of folks who just by the latest (fast) stuff they can afford (cheap). Quality (good) doesn't enter into the equation.
it tends to for geek targeted products
I weep for the 1% market. We never get what we want (at a price we can afford). Only the cool kids decide what crap becomes cheap.

Maybe Bing doesn't go two levels deep?
heh "...mathematicians... can be as petty as anyone"
Reminds me of some recent news along those lines.

This sucks. (Sorry, initial reactions only, Taking the time to figure out why is not profitable, for me.)
Someone moved my cheese.
I don't know how to do anything anymore.
(gratuitous changes, adding the to "friction" of everyday life... sigh)
html tags no longer accepted?

OK - bold works...no italics. pfft.
At least "br" works... god this is slow.
Seems... slower...
No one can hire a full-time CPA for anything close to $24K per year.
Have you checked into out-sourcing to India? Seems to me a CPA can work over the Internet just fine.
If the Print Screen button can be used to violate the DMCA, does that mean we are all criminals?

I don't use it, but wouldn't one just "follow" someone on Twitter to see everything they "tweet"?

To find out who is capable of finding the obvious ploys...
Not JUST big business.
Ironically, Government works for Big Labor too!
This can't be a bad thing, if it raises the quality and character of prospective government workers...
Well, there are more English speakers in the USA than in England... So? We Win!

But I am already confusing it with Lawnmower Man.
I guess I need to see it to disambiguate them.
So, you are saying the best you could do is cash it in for nickles, I guess.
The does not appear to have anything to do with electric eel-skin. I was rooting for a good urban legend come-back.
