Old TVs grow fucking legs and walk back to the factory, do they?
It's pointless, because there's no incentive for the *user* to actually return it to anywhere rather than dumping it.
Belgium has this "recupel" shit but sometimes you can't walk down the road due to dumped TVs & fridges, for exactly the point you completely missed above. It's a tax, no more, no less.
This is like totally fucking *obvious* if you think for like 30 seconds.
Apple's car plans are undergoing a shake-up. It's entirely possible they'll ditch making a whole car themselves, and work at just a few major components that others can integrate.
Or they'll get somebody else to make it & stick their badge (and a huge markup) on it.
If that's the case, buying McLaren counterintuitively makes a lot of sense: they do serious design and component work, and having that experience would aid Apple's efforts.
They could equally subcontract it, or even set up a joint venture.
It's not really core business for either. But then I'm not Steve Jobs. On the other hand, neither is Tim Cook.
Is it a fee or a deposit, i.e. you get a refund when you return the item? Because if it's a sunk cost what's to stop you chucking it in a ditch anyway (other than not wanting to be an asshool)?
I wanted my grandson to become an army officer so I encouraged him to learn about war. And what did he do - he went out and fucking invaded Poland, that's what. So much for your theory. -- Maria Schicklgruber

I thought it was the agency that supplied Trump with wives.
Shhh! You broke the first *and* second rules there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You may have saved my life.
This is why I come to Slashdot.
[aside] What a stupid, fat, granny-fucking Alaskan cunt!
The Germans certainly didn't.
Not as much as Zyklon-B.
That's why I only use magnet.

In that case, the lulz come from tormenting them. Not that I'd ever do that...

Nah, Linux Mince.
Nothing to do with who pays for it.
If you can't afford private school you're lumped in with the rest of the 99%.
Nice observation. It's always "they just need to ..." or "all you have to ...", it's never in the first person.
Hey, it worked for Bonnie Tyler.
[counts the digits] Umm, ask your dad.
On reading TFA my first thought was like fuck that, if I want to work for nothing I'll do it for the kids' school or old soldiers or something.
But you're right, there are rewards other than money, and one of them is teh lulz.

FRRRRRRRP! That's the noise my ring makes. Silence that, you asshats!

Maybe SP2 will fix that, along with the stupid respiration control bodge.

I figured out how to switch it to classic look. I'm like that there John Stuart Mill, very advanced for my age.
