Sigh, and said directors are the ones who are charged, not the company.
The idea that you would charge a company with a criminal act was absurd to me.
*Sigh* yerself...
Corporations CAN in fact be criminally charged. Directors MAY be culpable in the chargable actions, but they are not necessarily held criminally liable. Just ask RC Bottling in CA - the company was held criminally liable in the action, and fined over 1/2 million dollars, just a week ago. No directors or employees, or any individual within the company was charged. THE CORPORATION WAS CONVICTED OF CRIMINAL ACTS, AND FINED.
It may be 'absurd' to you, but it's the law.
But you don't get that, 'cause you won't let facts get in the way of the (false) opinions you hold.
The internet is your friend. You should think about using it. You know, for research. Just sayin' is all.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with criminal law. Again, goldfish.
Goldfish, heh. This coming from someone defending a position that is clearly incorrect. You could actually pay attention to what is going on, get one of the older kids or an adult to explain it to you, or
you could just check for yourself.
Anyway you dice it, corporations are criminally liable for their actions, and any members of the board of directors may be held culpable.
Just thought I'd balance your numerous goldfish statments with, you know, facts.
I'm recalling one of the first Mars-surface experiments which used enzymes from fireflies that shine when mixed with adenosine triphosphate, which is a by-product of all known forms of metabolism.
Okay, you win - if you try REALLY hard, I'll admit you can find a drive with only a one year warranty.
That said, here is a link to the identical model 7K80, 80Gb Death^H^H^Hskstar (IBM / Hitachi OEM, factory sealed) you linked as an example; kindly note the 3 year warranty.
Congrats, however, for managing to find the same item for $24 more, and with a 2 year shorter warranty than the same model you linked to.
Kinda looks to me, generally speaking, like the manufacturers are moving away from 1 year warranties, eh. I will surely concede that someone, somewhere, may in fact be selling them with a 1 year warranty - but it's rare. That, I believe, was the GGP's very point.
I didn't see anything about warranty on your link.
Sure, 'cause it would be too hard fer ya' to drill down a bit, like click on the link for the Seagate drive - you know, one of the brands the parent mentioned...
Then, mebbe you coulda' clicked on the Detailed Specifications link, and read that it does in fact, as the GP stated, have a 5 year warranty.
You're trolling, or full of it.
It took you more time to type out your ill-thought post than it would have taken for you to check the facts.
Right, but if their effort assumed everybody would be doing that they wouldn't bother with the effort in the first place.
In the wake of the conclusion of my attempt to comprehend your remark, I am currently vacillating between laying the blame for my failure at your feet or *mine.
I live with two people
I like most of them
He likes most of me
And I like most of him
Their [sic] my alter egos
And to them I'm wed
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

I didn't RTFA, but there has been a fair hoopla over this here in the UK, and I've read some of the published reports...
The danger to children as opposed to adults was based upon the 1.0mm to 1.5mm or so additional skull thickness in adults - the 'damage range' of the EMF from the phones was far more severe in *very* young children. The greatest danger seems to be in the under 5 crowd, with dimishing worries through to late teens.
That said, how hard could it be to keep kids from using cell phones? No, wait...
The change from the earthquake had an effect on the spin of the earth, much like your ice skater example; the mass of the earth did not change, and therefore there is no effect on its orbit.
The Grandparent said:The "do I use three brackets here or only two" issues with wikis are just too annoying.

I arrived home from work today, and fired up a simple search using my now-indexed Google Desktop. The first item listed, by dint of a coincidental search term, was an email my cleaning lady had sent.
The 'drill' in the email was NOT the one I was looking for.
I must say, I was quite surprised - the search cached viewed and sent emails from a private hotmail account - it even kept a view of the inbox.
This is, well, bullshit. Really - how many people NEVER have anyone else on their system. This search has wayyyyyyyyyyyy tooo much room for abuse - and once they fix it, I guarantee you this old version will be worth $$$ on the black market...
Since the plasma is basically 'free' once the station is operational, merely direct an equal amount of plasma in the oppposite plane to the direction required for propulsion - the station would remain motionless, relatively. Mind you, I'd be carefull approaching the back door...
I hate to be a buzzkill, but is there ANY reason why giving people there own desktop computer is good science?
It seems that if we spend the money that it would take to develop the computing power & software required to let people do work on their own computer on more reliable filing systems and methods of typing, a lot more actual work would get done. Heck, we might even have enough left over to extend rotary dial phone lines to far-flung locations.
ahh - no time to finish this bad analogy - I have to hitch the horses to the wagon and run into town to check my mail - back in a week!

The Sony Glasstron is no longer being manufactured or supported according to this site, which still has some for sale.

The grandparent is correct.
The parent is incorrect; and rude, to boot.
As long as they don't start selling software they steal from IBM, as then SCO would hafta sue 'em!
