  2. Hardware Specific on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I will resort to diagnostics only when other troubleshooting is unrevealing, but the diagnostics for whichever hardware you have are usually provided by the manufacturer. For example, each hard drive manufacturer will have its own diagnositcs and if you expect warranty returns, you will have to run their program and tell them what fails.

    lies?

    During discovery, McDonald's produced documents showing more than 700 claims by people burned by its coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebeck's. This history documented McDonald's knowledge about the extent and nature of this hazard. ...

    McDonald's also argued that consumers know coffee is hot and that its customers want it that way. The company admitted its customers were unaware that they could suffer third-degree burns from the coffee and that a statement on the side of the cup was not a "warning" but a "reminder" since the location of the writing would not warn customers of the hazard.

    Failure to exercise due care despite the knowledge that this had happened many times before to both customers and employees. They knew they were serving their coffee 30 deg. hotter than other similar restaurants and that people had been burned, but they maintained the policy of keeping it that hot and did nothing to warn customers of the danger.
