-Make profit off of for the audits necessary each year to insure integrity among those who want the credentials
Hey, just like ISO 9001, but for scientific journals instead of for businesses? Great idea! After all, we all know how well ISO 9001 is working in the business world to ensure quality...
The judge is only there to apply those laws, not question their sanity, relevance, or modernity.
Yes, because that's what the jury is for. Except, you don't get a jury trial for traffic violations. And then, the jury wouldn't be allowed to know this, in any case...
In 2010, I was written a citation for using my phone when I had passed it to a passenger. I was (rightfully) found not guilty. Because merely "touching" your phone is not using it as a communications device. Nor is the cell phone magically more distracting than other objects in a car.
Reminds me of the DUI citations for people sleeping in their car. Merely being in posession of the keys, and being physically in is enough to be considered driving.
So, instead tell your friend to grab the phone out of your trouser's pocket, instead of handing it to her...
Arte they really sure it's the carbon dioxyde, and not the radioactivity from all the nuclear power stations? Usually CO2 just suffocates stuff, it's the radiation that makes the critter bigger!
The purpose of these test procedures is not to find bugs (they didn't find this bricking issue afterwards), but it's to delay fixes, if ever a bug is found.
Case in point: a large Luxembourgish bank encountered such an issue in their homebanking product (login impossible with some of the Luxtrust smartcard products). The broken version was put online beginning of June 2012 and customers were complaining already within days afterwards. Before the end of Une, it was known (by customers) what the problem was (literally, a single typo in a config file), and that the upstream provider (Luxtrust) had a fix. Yet, the bank still refused to roll out a fix. There excuse was "we'd have to redo our expensive test suite again, and we don't have any budget for that". To this day, the issue is still unfixed. Way to reward people who paid 50€ out of their own pocket for an extra-secure smartcard...
If that doesn't make someone at Samsung beet red in the face and desperate to release a properly corrective patch, they deserve to lose in the market.
Maybe it does, but that still doesn't mean that a fix will be coming. It's not as if developing the fix was expensive, but you've got to consider all the overhead: meetings, heavy testing procedures, etc.
These devices came out less than 2 years ago. So they are all still under warranty. Brick them, bring them back to the shop, get a refund, and buy a non-broken device instead.
No, the problem is that on the approach to the bridge is a sign "height limitation 3m", but actually the bridge has only 1.5m clearance. Cars still pass, but even the tiniest lorry will bump into it.
I've also seen them go directly from green to red with no yellow or a brief flash of yellow; I guess that's not really a "conflict" but it's disconcerting.
That's just to ensure more revenue for the camera...
My mother had a funny encounter with a hare when she was young. She was driving on a small country road at night, and suddenly a hare jumped from the field onto the road between her headlights. Not knowing how to dress one anyways, she slowed down.
What happened then was hilarious. The hare saw the left head light, became scared and jumped to the right. Being now closer to the right head light, it became scared again and jumped to the left. Then again to the right, and so the hare became trapped between her head lights. This continued until the next village where there was light all over the place, and the hare got away (... while the village people shook their head how anybody could let a perfectly good hare run away after having had such an easy opportunity for miles...)
Fast forward 35 years later. I was also driving on a nightly country road, and you guessed it a hare. Not knowing how to dress one either (and not being that fond of venison anyways), I just followed it for 2-3 jumps, then briefly switched off my lights to let it go...
So, apparently hares didn't evolve in those 35 years...
... to simply avoid building nests that dangle precariously from highway overpasses? Why not chose safer nesting places? What if a huge truck passes on top of the bridge, shaking it so much that the nest comes off and falls down on the highway below? Then the brood is dead, shorter wingspans or not...

A tinfoil-covered cucumber? I wonder what that is being used for...

Maybe you'd get better info if you filled up as well...? Of course, too bad if you need to ask multiple times, and your tank is already full...

Thus, a feedback and not a forcing.
But a positive (self-reinforcing) feedback, unfortunately. Greenhouse effect -> hotter climate -> more water evaporates -> more Greenhouse effect...
Not all feedback is "negative" (self-regulating)
Still wouldn't explain delays. Unless the "concerned citizens" are then later tortured by their conscience, and return the item...
USPS is the United States Postal Service, i.e. the government corporation that pretends to deliver crap.
So then, don't taunt them by putting tape with the word Atheist on it...
UPS = United Parcel Service, i.e. those brown-shirted dudes who intentionally smash your package with hammers to make it fit in the truck.
So then, don't taunt them by putting tape with the word Fragile on it...
New theory: people love atheist products, so they get snatched more often by the postman.
That would explain disappearing packages, but how would it explain delays?

Why do they keep the hardware? Simply get them exchanged for non-broken hardware.

Is it red or is it rogue? Were is the 'u' supposed to go?
Every major web browser has a built-in spell checker. Please help me and use it.
... and your first line illustrates why a spell-checker is useless in some situations...
This seems to be a more recent usage of the word. The original meaning did cover all local wildlife, including hares.
... as long as chicken don't try to play deer...

They'll just land on a truck with their coconut, and ride along. Much less tiring this way, and faster too...
maybe, caught in their wake, and then struck by the next car? (which they might have been able to avoid if they weren't caught in turbulence)?

This will make it even slower...
