They don't? I guess you built the road you drive on yourself, personally arrested any criminals who might have accosted you during the journey, and convinced everyone to respect private property so your company could exist in the first place.
Poor Apple. Can't have it both ways, and gets criticized no matter whether they announce ahead of time or on the day something ships.
I agree. It's logically impossible that sometimes one thing is the correct course of action and other times it's another. It therefore follows that it's statistically impossible that a monkey would get it right more often that Steve Jobs does.
If Apple had listed the machine as "802.11n-capable," the law would have required Apple to deliver 802.11n functionality at the time of sale.
That sounds like a truth in advertising/trade description issue, not an accounting one. And even then, it would depend on the wording.
If Apple handed out the patch for free now, you'd have customers getting what the law considers to be a material change in the product at no cost, which comes reasonably close to what the law calls "selling unfinished products."
But what they shipped, and charged for, and recognised the revenue for was a finished product. It was finished in that it met the specified (lower, 801.11g) standard. The fact that a higher standard exists is irrelevant.
Either Apple delivers 802.11n at the time of sale, or it charges for an upgrade later. Those are its only options.
There's no law against freebies. Apple are using SOX as an excuse. How is this different to those cards sandwich shops have, where they stamp it each time and after ten you get one free?
Maybe not. On the other hand, common sense says if you drink a lot of water and don't go to the potty, it starts to hurt after a while; and when something hurts that's usually your body dropping a hint that you're doing something bad to it.
On the third hand, common sense isn't all that common.
Well if it's on wikipedia, it must be true! That's assuming that a bunch of fratboys coun't possibly have got it mixed up with "whanger/wanger" in the fist place...
Rabbits, sheep and cows live off plants that humans can't eat anyway, so it makes more sense to eat beef than grass.
While it's true (in the UK at least) that sheep are raised on land that would be marginal at best for other uses, cows are frequently fed on corn, that people could eat. What's more lots of cattle grazing ground could be used to grow human edible crops.
Then why the hell are virtually everyone on Federation starships human? And the few token non-humans are clearly the more human looking. There are no six tentacled creatures serving on Federation starships... there are no non-physical energy beings.
It would make sense to have similar creatures together, as you'd need a compatible atmosphere that they could all breathe. Then there's the toilets, oh so many different kinds of toilet.
What you originally wrote, and what xappax responded to (X)
Regardless, if you are qualified to be accepted into college, you are probably already making more than minimum wage.
What you just wrote (Y)
Who said anything about it being a qualification?
[ You did, see above. ]
If you are resourceful enough to get into college (which is just as much about playing the game, as it is about knowing stuff), you are resourceful enough to find a job that pays more than the legal minimum.

Those are basically all reasons why the old versions sucked. Buy our new product! 37% less crappy than the last one!
I asked them for an estimate to build this, I'm still waiting for them to get back to me.
These puns are getting out of hand, best turnip it in the bud right now.

But all your cars are made in Japan or Germany anyway.
Dunno, but I wish I lived there. Where I'm from, it's only one and a quarter. What a ripoff!
So out of the seven items of software you originally mentioned, you can maybe justify the need for two of them. Almost.
I'd be happy to, if I had any money left over from buying a perpetual motion machine.
For example, it's commonly left up to the viewer to decide when (and if) to laugh. How quaint!
