I had to log in just to post this for the bonus question: Episode III was the first movie I ever asked for my money back after watching it in the theater.
While that may invalidate the original contract, that wouldnt give amazon the right to recharge your credit card. It would however allow them to refuse to sell at the lower price, but they still would have to request permission to charge the higher amount beforehand, as an unauthorized charge is fraud. IANAL, but i'm pretty sure once they've shipped they're SOL.
When I worked at Electronics Boutique, we had to go by california state law, meaning if we saw something, we were allowed to tell the person to stop. If that didnt work, we could call mall security. Since nobody, including security was allowed to detain, search, or even touch the shoplifter, the only real options were calling the police or doing nothing. We never called the police.
Knowing that nobody is allowed to touch you or search you, I never let the people standing at the door check my bags. A few years ago I went shopping the day after thanksgiving. By the time I got to the door, I'd been up all night, I'd been standing in lines for >6 hours, I was done. I had about $700 worth of crap I'd just bought in my bags, and I wanted to sit down in the car. I walked around the line of people having their bags checked as they left, past the two employees standing at the door, set the alarm off and kept walking. One of the employees said "SIR!" and I just kept going. If he had tried to stop me I was ready to call 911 and report an assault + my being held against my will.
What I think he's missing in it's entirety is that games are no longer marketed twards children for the most part. GTA's main audience are all old enough to vote. But they're too busy playing fun "murder simulators" to get out and vote, so stuff like this still happens.
aside from powering virtually every device (including wireless devices during the recharging phase), as long as I have a wired mouse, I know my mouse is on one end of the wire and the computer is on the other. This might sound silly, but it's quite nice to not have to look for the lost mouse, due to the fact that as long as it's plugged in, it cant go more than 6 feet in any direction and it's leaving a trail to where it just so happens to be hiding.
The first line of the first link you posted says "The law of averages is a lay term used to express the view that eventually, everything "evens out." For example: Two very similar people who drive similar cars in similar circumstances over a long period of time will have roughly the same number of accidents." I'm going to ignore the fact that it was my point, I just worded it poorly.
The second link says "A random event is more likely to occur because it recently happened" and "A random event is less likely to occur because it has not happened for a period of time" are false statements.
Both of those are in the reasoning behind car insurance rates. Meaning saying "the longer you play blackjack without winning, the more likely you are to eventually win" is correct, at least in regards to this conversation; so my point is valid.
Wouldnt you think that statistically speaking, the longer you go without an accident, the more likely it will be that you'll get in an accident? Simple law of averages.
Although the idea that if you've had one accident you're going to have another soon is the simple law of women drivers.
Also, if there is a news report saying "Microsoft office has XYZ flaws" Microsoft can reply in it's advertisements "we've corrected XYZ flaws, now we're more secure than ever!"
I sure as hell wouldnt vote for someone who texted me with a "vote for me" sms. And I like how podcasting is the politician's attempt to use the "latest" technology. Lets just hope they dont fill the tubes with all their huge amounts of information. Huge amounts of information.

No, as long as you have to buy their insulin, there wont be a cure. The money is in making you just well enough to live with it. Drug companies wouldnt be a good investment if you only had to buy drugs to get cured of your ailment.
Never had a multi story house to play in, but when my grandparents were getting their pool redone, we had the best track setup EVER going into the empty pool. When we were told to stop playing with the track in the pool we put it away. Then went back to the pool with the cars and tried to launch them out of the pool. Never did work cause there was a lip on the edge of the pool, but it sure was fun.
Depends on what and how you drive. A 60's muscle car with a 400ci engine wont get poo for mileage, and any car will have bad mileage if you floor it all the time.
Then I would expect the directors in question would never let network television edit the content of the movies for broadcast. Unless that is they got paid. In which case claiming artistic whatever just went out the window for a paycheck.
It's because the other companies (such as the wal) have enough purchasing power to make the record company release a "clean" version. If the video stores in question were actually a 300 billion dollar chain, they could have just asked the studios nicely for a "clean" version and gotten it.
Well you're posting in what has turned into a discussion about quotes from that movie, so it's not a leap of faith to expect the quotes used in the replies would be from the movie.
But if MS pulled out of the EU, the EU couldnt put MS software in the public domain. At least that's the way I understood the EULA's for every microsoft product I've read. If the EU did that, they'd have to face the legal wrath of MS.
Now IANAL, but if the EU has the legal standing to force MS to do anything, MS has the exact same legal standing to make the EU do what it wants too. The only reason they're playing nice at this point is because they still want those customers.
The way it looks to me is the EU is just mad they cant compete with microsoft products, so they want to force microsoft to give up it's secrets so they can make similar software. Also, why does nobody pay attention to the fact that quicktime is bundled with apple OS's? It's word for word the same issue with MS and WMP, but because MS is a higher profile target, they take all the flak.
You're missing the point about it being more of an out of court settlement than anything else. If you sue someone, it's major bad press. If you hire them, you can bind them with a non disclosure agreement and the problem goes away after a few paychecks.

What ever happend to "do no evil"?
Or why not just a *.txt in the directory the files are located in. That's how most of my downloads come these days. *.nfo's work too.

That's just mean to Dvorak to compare him to Michael Moore

You could always just not send in the rebates. That way you're paying the correct amount of sales tax on your purchase.
..and if you search for "search engine" the top 3 are dogpile, altavista, and metasearch. google.co.uk is fourth.
Flippin' idiot!
