The Magnuson-Moss warranty act makes the legality of that questionable unless they can demonstrate that the jailbreaking caused or substantially contributed to the failure.
I just don't think anyone has bothered taking it to court, as it would really be cheaper just to buy a new phone than sue them over it.
You're misreading the bill. It does not say anything about not working overtime. It removes the requirement that you get paid more for working overtime.\
You'll still be working just as much, or possibly more, but you'll get less money for that time.
The 1996 telecommunications act required such loop leasing. Then Brand X tried to get the cable companies to lease their stuff. Cable companies said no, court ensured, went up to the supreme court, and they said there was no requirement for the cable companies to do that.
Then a couple months later, the FCC removed that requirement from the telephone companies in the interest of "fairness", effectively obliterating any real competition.
You already do that anyway. Motherboards take most of their power at 12V and regulate it down to what's needed.
A modern CPU can use up to 65-ish watts, but runs at about 1.5V, so you're needing 43.3 amps of current. You're not going to be running that little voltage and that much current down a reasonably sized wire of any useful length.
Hardly its finest. Cancer most commonly occurs in later life, typically past reproductive age (which also makes cancer itself an outside context problem for evolution). Thus if they're going to reproduce, they already would have prior to getting scammed here and there's net 0 effect on the gene pool.
Dirtiest source??! I'd say they'd have to work really hard to be dirtier than deep sea drilling has been.
Oil sands extraction produces massive quantities of contaminated (lead, arsenic, mercury, ammonia, naphthenic acids, and other fun things) water which is stored in tailings "ponds" (they're really more like lakes) which currently cover about 170 square kilometers.
Like the Alberta government is going to do anything effective when almost their entire economy rides on the oil and gas industry. And like the Conservative Federal government is going to call their heartland to task.
why don't we look at existing infrastructure: it sucks.
It's not so much the infrastructure sucks as that it doesn't exist in most of the country. Amtrak has basically no passenger rail other than the Northeast Corridor. They borrow off the freight railways, thus they're limited to low speed trains and subject to delays when freight is being moved.
anti-bacterial hand gel. That is one of the worst ideas (at a consumer level) ever. Anything it doesnt kill is now immune to the damn gel and has no competition in its enviornment
I'm presuming you are referring to triclosan containing soaps, not hand sanitizer gels. The latter typically contain 60-70% alcohol, and you're not going to be developing resistance to that.
There are the tar sands in Canada that hold an immense amount of oil.
Extracting that oil is glacially slow (we're getting maybe 1.5 million barrels per day. that's less than 1/10th of the US' current usage alone. Every oil company in Alberta is running balls out to expand that, but capacity is only expanding at about 200,000 barrels/day/year), expensive (The cheapest most accessible stuff costs $40/barrel to extract and upgrade), and messy as hell.

Dammit, screwed up my numbers. I multiplied by 2 rather than squaring.
The wafers should weigh about 120 grams and that comes to about $1200/kilo, though that's still a bit more expensive than silver.
Well, silicon is a metaloid, and by price, ultra-high-purity silicon is certainly precious.
A 300mm IC-grade wafer costs about $150. Weights about 1.6 grams.
That's about $93,000/kilo. Gold is about $55,000/kilo.
I'll take it you misplaced your commas, or wherever you are uses a different thousands separation method.
I'm presuming you mean 6,500,000, 600,000-1,200,000, and 300,000 respectively.
Available evidence suggests you can sell an unfinished program just fine.

This doesn't remove the 80 hour weeks. It removes the extra pay for working those 80 hour weeks.
Alberta and Ontario also have the same BS.
We're almost as bad. Alberta, BC, and Ontario all have similar overtime exemptions for IT workers.
Why not a multiple of minimum wage?
It was. $27.63 is $4.25 (the minimum wage in 1989, when that part of the bill was written), times 6.5 and rounded up to the next cent.
Why they picked 6.5 is a different question, and I have no answer.
Ack, submitted that before I was done.
It's 6.5x what the federal minimum wage was in 1989 ($4.25/hr), which was when that part of the bill was written.
Why it was 6.5x, I have no idea.
It's 6.5x the federal minimum wage, rounded up to the nearest cent.
The US had that until 2005.

Videocards do the same thing.
No, America is TWO continents.
NORTH America is a continent.
Point the author at Baen Books and how successful they are with their DRM-free digital distribution strategy.

Don't you mean Sea Kittens?

1. And those "mainstream numbers" only remain relevant as long as vaccination rates remain high.
2. Measles is still a relevant disease. There were 164,000 measles deaths in 2008 and at least 10x that number of infections.
3. Which STD do you refer to? If it's HPV, that's not a infant vaccine, it's not given until age 9 or so.

The A means anthropogenic, basically "caused by humans".
Therefore the "AGW crowd" is the people who think that global warming is happening and is caused by human activities.
