    I meant in terms of someone who breaks in. Hence, subtract the safe from safecracker, to produce a word for someone who breaks in. But not to safes.

    They only make money from warranties, they have no incentive to offer a discount.
    Don't see how the premise leads to the conclusion. If the discount induces you to buy the item, they've a bigger chance of selling you the warranty. Unless they sell the warranty on its own, in which case, boy, that's some salesforce they have.

    From the number of buyer complaints I've heard, it's seems like they deduct the money from your account and keep it.

    Well I can see it wasn't economics, since you don't seem to understand the difference betwen national debt (what the country as a whole owes) with the indebdetness of individual people.

    Except before they had a decent goalie instead of that fat useless git Keller. I remember seeing him in the 90s at (spit) Millwall and he was past it then, the bald lardy fuck.

    They were pretty unlucky not to beat johnny boche that time, it's true.

  25. Re:Better Universities? on Why Startups Condense in America · · Score: 1
    Ideally, there are many employers who must compete for labor and so the person with no capital does have a choice.
    They maybe have the choice which other person to work for. But without capital they don't have the choice whether to work for someone else.

    I can certainly see how someone with absolutely zero capital would have a serious problem. But I mean zero: no education
    Perhaps you should try using the normal meaning of "capital". And yes, I have heard of the expression "intellectual capital". I also remember the dotcom boom, when it was just one of many overhyped bullshit phrases. I think it meant "Hey, we can program HTML and other smart stuff but we don't make a profit. Can we have some money now?".
