Part of the problem with such analogies is that Dell and Apple are two different companies and Mercedes-Benz quality had been deteriorating for years prior to the Chrysler merger/buyout.
It's important to note that this toll-free number has a limited purpose - simply to enable consumers to opt-out of receiving pre-approved offers of credit. Nothing more.
If there is a Ford dealership close to my house and all I ever do is buy Fords, should Ford be held liable when all my cars fall apart?
Maybe, if Ford was the only car manufacturer you knew about.
Maybe if when you drove car you didn't see any other cars.
Maybe if almost all your friends and neighbors drove Fords, except for the graphic designer down the street who drives a deisel BMW.
Maybe if the other person you know who doesn't drive a Ford is one guy from your IT department... and he drives a Chevy that runs off of used vegetable oil.
Maybe if schools provided their students with Fords and your work provides you with a Ford.
Maybe if switching to a Mercury requires that you tow it home with your Ford, and you have to keep the Ford around, not only because you cannot get rid of it, but also in case there is a road the Mercury can't drive on.
"Both lagers and ales are beer. Lager is a generic term for all bottom fermented beers. A Pilsner, or Pilsener, is a bottom fermented beer, that is, a golden coloured lager with a crisp palate and a dry finish due to the addition of more bittering hops, usually noble hops such as Saaz."

My experience is that a large portion of unemployed tech slobs lie on their resume. Very frustrating if you do any interviewing.
Hey I know this game!
Suspicion breeds confidence
The PowerBook becomes the MacBook Pro.
Does this mean the iBook is going to become the MacBook? They kept "iMac". Having a MacBook Pro without a MacBook seems daft.
Does the PowerMac become the MacMac Pro?
This worked really well for Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster
I do not think we're quite there yet.
Yes.

They're working on it, at least in part.

I almost thought this was going to be about Star Wars nerds being forced to watch something on Country Music Television.
Many Dothans died to bring us this information...
Where in TFA is the x86 architecture mentioned?
Why not? Many humans are incapable of providing care for another human's health and safety, but are nonetheless allowed to do so.
From my experience maintaining a large register-for-service database, the vast majority of users give their real information.
The question remains... who first shook cow brains hard enough to create mad cow disease?
That's right! And lets sue gun manufacturers! :runs away:
Several of the Desert Combat team worked on Battlefield: Vietnam.
I beg to differ.
Auto racing is most definitely a sport. It requires lightning-quick reflexes, endurance, and smarts.
It also requires the most cojones.
ESPN.com did a nice article that reflects this.
My main complaint with AirSoft is the replica-styling of the weapons. No one should mistake a paintball gun or a lasertag "gun" for something lethal.
That said, AirSoft is fun as heck, especially at close range (evil cackle)

And stupid. Luckily, it was only a prank.
