Your assertion is correct, but you gave a sort of bad example. If a kid signs up for a sport at school (for example), generally there is a contract signed by the kid that he or she will not do drugs or will be tossed off the team. This is above and beyond what the rest of the student body is subjected to, and the kid makes the choice to sign. If the cops report it to the school, the issue is clear cut. But there are many other examples out there to back what you said.
Wow, one whole guy, eh? Good thing he was an elected representative for all Swedish people, sent out in the world to give others an idea of what his fellow countrymen are like.:P
Oh, come on... You're not even going to use [a href="url">Link text/a] as an example? (obviously you would need to replace [] with the proper symbols...) Correction FAIL.
Uh, I think that depends on the nature of the contract between Google and T-Mobile. If the phone costs Google X to manufacture and they are selling it for less than X as part of a contract where T-Mobile pays them some portion of the difference, it makes some sense that Google would want to recoup that money if you cancel the contract with T-Mobile. There is no restocking fee here, you are keeping the phone, just not the contract. T-Mobile ETF is almost a red herring here, phone companies charge that either way. And you paying T-Mobile ETF probably does not reimburse Google (my guess).
As far as I can tell, the difference here is that this phone is not being sold by the carrier, but by Google. Not trying to be an apologist for Google, but I *guess* it makes sense...
And if you're flying at low altitudes over another person's property without permission, you're violating their property rights.
Now, I don't know where you live, but here in the US, he is absolutely correct. Keeping in mind we are talking in the few hundred foot range or less (give or take, I'm not going to look up any specific laws now), and not the much higher altitudes that private pilots usually fly in.
Don't normally bother responding to ACs, but you are wrong on both counts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolingualism -(although "unilingual" is obviously also used, 1/2 point for you there.)
What does he call someone who speaks two languages, stereolingual?
No, that would be bilingual. Good luck with your next correction!
This may not really belong on slashdot (fark maybe?), but if true he has a case. (I'm not a lawyer). Read TFA, and it appears to be yet another case of officers abusing their power because they think they can get away with it. It sucks, and I hope he wins.
And 9/11 loses to douche. Sorry, guess I missed your point. (not that I agree or disagree with anything in this thread, I'm just wondering wtf your link shows that is relevant)
I'm not a meteorologist, but I love clouds and have looked at thousands of cloud photos over the years.
Never seen any exactly like this. FTA, no one seems to dispute that these are so far undocumented.... So where is the problem? Add a new cloud already.
Should I tell Zeke to get lost and stay that way? (I was always told that making enemies unnecessarily was "considered harmful", but I get the impression that Zeke isn't a friend).
That's not 'unnecessary'... the guy screwed you. Never work with him again, and advise any friends to do the same.
I'm not even going to tough the rest of your post, but you can't be serious here. Pissing off your extremely well networked customer base enough to start a class action lawsuit by deliberately bricking your *latest* offering? Wtf.

I'm sure there is a joke in here somewhere involving aliens and mood lighting...

As Ars poster captriker notes: the Google fee is only levied if you do not return the device to them in the subscribed time.
Uh, yeah, you mean like it says in the summary at the top of the page?

You do know there is already ___@mac.com, right?
Glenn Beck gets ripped for a hell of a lot more than that...
I guess the only question is... why don't you take a look at TFA and get all your questions answered, instead of rushing here to try for a FP?
maintaining a 500-foot (150 m) distance from people and man-made structures except for purposes of takeoff and landing, and not causing any hazard.
I was talking about *under* that limit, and I was thinking he was as well.

I applaud your math skills, good sir!

And I suppose you could count the fingernails of the other poker players... but what would be the point of either?

Never thought I'd say this, but thanks AC. I went to lunch and you replied with just about exactly what I was trying to say in my original post.
Is it possible that this was deliberate?
