How is it that a man who doesn't like using the phone gets so many phone calls? Seriously? Are they all telemarketers? If so, sign up for the do-not-call list already.
I am part of a family of four living in a house, and the phone will ring maybe once per day, if that.
But it will probably cost them more money to pay a lawyer to drag on even the smallest court proceedings than it would to just settle with you. Probably pay your bill, plus a bit for an "apology" and get you to agree to sign an non-disclosure agreement.
While we're at it, let's require all thieves to leave their business card in the place of any item they steal. It would make it a lot easier to find them.
I agree that pulling guns on people while they're trying to rob/kill/etc. you is probably justified. (Probably a smart thing to do unless they already have a gun pointed at you)
Pulling a gun on a cop isn't ever a good idea. Sure, he'll run off now, but he'll be back in 20 minutes with the entire fucking department and a no-knock warrant to arrest your ass.
Did you bother to look at these links? Search for ANY piece of software, book, etc and the first few google search links may very well be those sites that generate "your search term.torrent" and "your search term.full.version.torrent" etc.
You have absolutely no idea how this game works. None at all. There is no track record and no experience points. Nothing even remotely similar to that.
There is always an autonomous period in each game. Usually 15-20 seconds. Then it flips over to teleoperated mode. Entire match comes to about 2.5 minutes.
Of course, 20 seconds is never enough to actually do anything useful, so the only teams that bother with an auto mode are the teams that have experts in the area.
There isn't a "everyone is a winner" mentality in FIRST. Well, maybe a small one. But no one is handing out ribbons for people that don't win the competition. (Well, the participation medals, but they're marketed as just that: participation medals. More for record keeping than anything else TBH)
The competition also isn't about the competition. It's about encouraging a bunch of students to get off their ass and go learn how to build a robot. The point isn't the competition, it's the learning.
You argument is like saying "The school system is poor because there are no winners".
No, they're not. This isn't some guy walking into a cartoys with a radio minus a faceplate with indications that he's just ripped it out of some car in the parking lot. This is a guy asking to purchase a hard drive adapter thingy for a laptop he purchased off of someone.
There's no indication that he's stolen it, they're assuming he has. This is the problem.
Why shouldn't he know how to install operating systems? It's just "Next, next, next, OK." The most complicated thing is selecting the time zone and if he can't do that then we've got bigger problems than the computer.
Yeah, but that's because the MS standard is closed (as much as M$ likes to say it's open). MS has no excuse not to properly render an open format that's actually open.

Right, the enemy isn't the crack, it's the addiction. Don't take the crack away.

IANAL, so don't take this as legal advice.

No, that's worth the minimum wage he's being paid. Handing me a towel isn't worth shit.
Soap dispenser would work well too.
There's a control in the cockpit to depressurize the cabin?

99% of the students involved did not hate these measures. Perhaps YOU did, in which case you need to find another competition to enter.
There was a lot of dissent about this year's rules, but to say that 99% of the participants have always hated the system is just asinine.
Of course, they're about 3 times more expensive too.
Yeah, that'll go over really well. "Excuse me, your Internets are broken" 10 times a minute.
First you start out stealing songs, then you're robbing liquor stores, and selling crack, and running over school kids with your carrrrrrrrr.....
So don't download this song... </wierd al>

At that point, a malware filled XP box would be less annoying than a clean vista one.
You're going to have to explain the link between printer drivers and $5 chicken.
And it crashes every few days for no real reason. The solution to this is to power down then restart the car, thus recovering from this "fatal error".

And *I* have determined that the constitution requires topless dancers during all criminal proceedings. Where the fuck are they now?
Better solution: Claim to forget the password due to all the recent stress of the legal precedings.
Still might get you jailed for contempt... but it's more plausible than losing the USB key.

Where the hell do you get the "good optics" once you're inside the facility? Do those just get right past security?
