to me. At my place of employment, the managers often see praise and respect as an equivalent substitute for salary and benefits.
I've got a family from which I receive love and respect. I work to provide money to feed and shelter my family. I don't work for respect, and frankly as long as I'm doing my job, I don't really care if my managers respect me or not.
I like this solution. Notice how the dark line gets lighter as it approaches the north-west. This would imply slower insect flight, reflecting more light, creating a darker line. As the insect accelerates, the line gets lighter.
This stuff is cool but...

My point is, when that employee wears the Best Buy uniform, he/she represents the company. And the company should be held accountable for what thier employees claim. Those employees get small cash bonuses for the product replacement plans they sell, so you can imagine that they will say anything to make the sale. You are correct, the burden of verifying the contract is still the buyers, but I won't shop anywhere that lets its employees lie to me straight faced and in most cases (indirectly or otherwise) promotes it.
I had a friend who bought a handspring from best buy. They sold him a 'product replacement plan' telling him (and I was there to hear this) they would replace it no matter what happened to it, even if HE caused damage to it. Well it wasn't 2 weeks later he dropped the thing and cracked the screen. When he brought it back to replace it, they wouldn't do it because it was physically damaged. They claimed they would only replace factory defects. He called thier claims department and worked his way up the manager chain. He finally reached someone who, when asked to speak with his manager (after he denied the claim like all the others), replied "I am as high as this needs to go". After that no one would even look at his case. He called the BBB and the local news about the story. In the end, he never received the replacement.
I don't think they should have been forced to replace something that was physically damaged after purchase, but what gets me is that it was the checkout attendants selling point that he could 'break it' and they would replace it no questions asked. There were several witnesses to this, and they still would not honor it.
Maybe its slightly off topic. I just thought I'd share the reason as to why I will never set foot in a best buy again.
powers my home internet right now. My neighbor of course is oblivious, as long as he gets his pr0n. I am friendly enough to make sure his access point gets its firmware upgrades on time;-)
"In general, the frequency of middle C is between 256 Hz and 280 Hz." And "To find the frequency of a note one octave lower the frequency is halved." Seems like a simple enough calculation to me.
