HOW do you know that collection of the original deposit is final?
When the bank will allow you to withdraw the money out of your account, in cash, while mentioning you need "spending money" because you are leaving on an extended trip* to [insert name of country without extradition].
* Where "extended" >= statute of limitations for bank fraud...
If the prison offers regular, halal, vegan and kosher diets, can't you just pick one?
Your religious belief (or lack thereof) should have no bearing on the matter - the 1st "freedom of religion" and 14th "equal protection" amendments seem to apply.
OMG - "they" are hiding entire countries from us now!
Technically, you are correct - there are 194 or 195 countries, but there are dozens of territories and dependencies that might be counted separately. E.g. many would count China, Hong Kong, Tibet, and Taiwan as 4, but China would say 1...
I'll bet the moderation field is at least 8-bits, so there should be 256 moderation items. Plenty of room for "spelling error", "grammar error", "I see your point but I disagree", "yes", "no", "too drunk to moderate", and many other.
Then all the bitching and moaning about moderation could really get wild - what counts up/down, which are neutral, etc.
Um... I don't have a dog in this fight, but AFAIK performing "corporate theatrics" while looking for a partner is not "knowingly false" until the search falls thru...
I am sure Seagate wasn't trying to personally jerk around this one guy. What if the partner had been found and everything was cool?
While unfortunate for Vaidyanathan, as far as the Seagate thing goes, it sounds like he won a lawsuit lottery to the tune of 1.9 $M (for which I am sure his lawyer is happy to take %40).
Oh, and if it was characterized as "damages" he probably doesn't have to pay income tax on it.
I don't know if it has an OS, but my Black & Decker Infrawave toaster oven sometimes gets "hung". I sure wish there was an OS update for it, I really like it.
This toaster uses what look pretty much like toner fusing light bars to toast/cook. It is really fast, and gives off a nice evil glow when it is working.
The only problem with it is that you can sometimes confuse it into a very dangerous state - i.e. it can go FULL ON, and the "off" switch has no effect. In this state the door-interlock switch doesn't even work! (I can't even fathom the stupidity of that design... I can hear the switch click, so I guess there must be a hardware engineer's equivalent of the Daily WTF? to explain it. I am a software guy, and even I know that the safety interlock ought to directly cut the heater power, even if you want to let the LCD/button logic run. I guess the logic board is just being "told" the switch went off and is supposed to do something about it. Sheesh.)
Futhermore, pulling the plug from the wall (for any length of time) only turns it off -- until you plug it in again! Then FULL ON, no stopping!
Rather than returning it, I've just instructed everyone in the household a work-around I have discovered; When Stuck "on", simply select "toast level 1", even while it is running already. I assume this is the least cooking it can, do, then press "start"... it will turn off after about one "toast level 1" more's worth of time, then it is back to normal (until the next time you piss interrupt it at the wrong time, usually by opening the door while it is full-on, but near the end of a cycle.)
It is a strange world where my desktop PC is more predictable than my toaster oven. (In terms of not "crashing".)
Oh come on, don't you have a soldering iron and a disregard for warranties?
What was the name of that 70's thing...

Some sort of plastic egg or something, that you were supposed to put a message in, then give it to someone "hey, this is for Joe Bloggs, in Topeka, pass it on". The idea was that eventually, Joe would get it, no matter where you were when you started it. I think others were encouraged to add to it too.
It predates the 6-degrees of Kevin Bacon, but it is the same idea.
Was it an oobie or some such? This sounds like that. Probably sold a lot of plastic crap and packaging.
It is a vending machine, and here in California, at least, there is SALES TAX on even bullion purchases, if less than "investment quantities" (currently $1500).
So, between the retail markup, and sales tax, I don't expect these to be very popular at all, except for the math challenged - maybe it will take winning lotto tickets as well as other forms of payment.

Logistics? Pfft, here's all the logic you need. From the summary:
The group [...] wants £15 million to [...] test [...] the scheme
Sounds like a fun gig, if you can get it.
...freezer... until it was defrosted...
I don't know, it is never as good after that. But still, with enough jelly...
One man's deceit is another man's tact and diplomacy. Things are often more complicated than you think, if you truly consider all points of view.
(Even if you consider other points of view "wrong")

FWIW - I Googled "stupid articles" and neither google nor Slashdot were in the first page of results...
Maybe that is where he had some empty space in his head.

I only knew he was dead because of Slashdot - damn you /.!
I am sure Neal Stephenson did all the same research.
Only he presented his findings in a far more entertaining way via The Baroque Cycle books.
You mean this is this one of those things like fortune cookie sayings? You can just add "with passwords" to anything and make if funny?
Don't taunt the Google.
You confused me with all those big words, like "conceived" - but I think you just said the universe could (or has?) go fuck itself?
Please clarify and let me know how I can subscribe to your newsletter. (Assuming you are not a lightning struck smudge.)
Yes! it is like the old "How to carve a ship" bit... "Take a block of wood, and carve away anything that doesn't look like a ship!"
In other words, "just do it"...
A blue tarp is a 'temporary' solution to a damaged roof.
Not allowed by my HOA. It would have to be a beige tarp.
