It starts with a case where someone is sued to using patents that HAVE to be used when you want to implement a standard accordingt to that very standard.
It continues with an US court activly trying to force a company into disrespect of legitimate court verdicts.
And it turns into hybris when that court wants their findings to be respected outside the boundaries of the US.
That is half-right, which is the worst kind of wrong...
"normal" sales ARE final. Returns of non-defective goods is up to the courtsey of the shop.
The regulations quoted here are ONLY VALID if for some reason, the customer wasn't able to make fully-informed buying descisions. That's the case for sales shoved down during unsolicited visits and mail-order shopping (also online). You're allowed to inspect the item as you would have been able to in an old fashioned shop, and not only watch a few glossy marketing product photos.
if the item is sent back in a state that only allows to sell it as "used", the seller can charge you the difference.
The political background is that this should level the playing field between brick-and-mortar stores and online resellers.
In my opinion, a party without a fixed policy is the best thing that can happen to parliamentarism over here, because this means debates would get their whole reason d'être back: convincing the members of parliament to vote for or agains something, based on arguments.
Currently, we're paying 625 people to raise there hands based on party policy instead of personal beliefs and opinions. Predictable as it is, it's a waste of time and money.
The biggest challange for the PP is their lack of a party policy, that renders them too unpredictable for the average voter.
Not quite true. They exported lots of it to the west. It's a little known fact that control electronics for almost all major west-german brands of household appliances were produced by Robotron. The dish-washer of course still had a "Made in West germany" stamp on it. "Assembled in..." wasn't needed back then.
Likewise, most of IKEA furniture was produced there, until countries farer east and far cheaper became accessible for business after the fall of the soviet union and the german reunion.
But everything produced there that had at least a decent quality was assigned to the export to get some hard cash. The people there could only by the leftover crap that was unsellable even in the USSR.
..and still they don't go to the guys who could provide what they were looking for: Phone company and phone manufacturer. Are there any Android phones that really use the software as it is provided by Android devs? (is that even google or is google just the largest contributer in an alliance?) And when phone manufacturers brand their images, isn't a custom password salt the first thing you'd do? That should be in a headerfile _phone_provider_constants.h
A "hotspot" is not a thing. It's a description for service provided (usually by an access point/ router combo). Or rather the place where you can get that service. It's similar to "I am Jon and I'll be your waiter for tonight."
Incitement to break some TOS is not quite as bad as incitement to an actual crime would be. If the potential employer isn't on FB either, there is no way that TOS could be used against him.
The worst thing that could happen is FB blocking your account for giving in to the password demand. But if you do so, you've already lost your account anyway.
and from the HR drone POV it would look like you're valuing some random third party TOS over a potential job.
well then it's up to them to proove that it's my profile and not that of my namesake. OTOH, you know when you're applying somewhere and keep a low profile with your real profiles during that time.
Personally speaking, as a solar buff, I would love to see a massive conversion to cleaner and more efficient methods of transportation and heating/electricity. It would also be nice to encourage more use of bicycles (and even walking) as an alternative to the almighty automobile in the U.S. From that point of view, high gas prices are great.
But when it comes to jobs in an already shaky economy, it's going to be disastrous, and may in fact change the electoral outcome this November.
As those solar cells aren't going to build (and research) themselves, there is lots of opportunity for new jobs there.

This is absurd!

Bonobos? I hope they didn't forget to set the pr0n filter, or available bandwidth will never be enough....
And keep them from posting on youtube!!!!
I'm glad for anything that covers that geezer on pics taken during orgies.
well... I'm here.
I think the difference here is that you'll loose lots of the vote percantage if you don't put the popular candidates on the top of teh list.
I'm a german /.er

Great Idea!
How can I do that one facebook? (It isn't "new" and "cool" if it isn't on facebook, is it?)
Hmm.. if you have too many people in your circles recommending too much crap, you should consider a reorganization of your contacts.
Dynamic Range Day?
TODAY???
Good luck promoting that on your St. Patrick's Day parties....
"Hey DJ, can you turn the volume up and down a bit? It's Dynamic Range Day today...."

Well, I guess power from those coal plants is the worst case that produces 50% less CO2 than produciong new paper.
Giving such a sensible answer to that scares me a bit....
But you need a klingon keyboard to enter your password...
Is Vogon poetry available in common attack-dictionaries?
Just to play devil's advocate:

Well, it sure doesn't give you a longer blanket, but if your blanket is too short, you move it to where freezing the most.
And from my experience, even if your head and feets are cold, you don't leave it in the middle and hope that its warmth will even out...
I wish I had modpoints....
OTOH, you have to be pretty dumb to create a FB profile that would indicate you're member (or affiliated) with a criminal organisation.
Because it is of no relevance?

but far less frequent - and not much more fatal - as accidents on rural roads.
I passed much more crosses on the last 60km between the last Autobahn exit and my university than on the 300km Autobahn I travelled earlier.
Not sure about that. AFAIR they only mandate a low-power permanent light and not full headlights.
Ok, I confess to oversimplification.
But in my favour, some other post here mentioned bikes, horses and pedestrians on roads in the UK that are currently illuminated.
