"Pavegen To Tap Pedestrians For Power In the UK" I've seen this movie trilogy. It didn't end well. No, seriously, it REALLY didn't end well

Also, what happens if their advice is just "You'll need to go to the doctor's office/emergency room"? Does the $45 get refunded?

Generally speaking, I'd like some sort of diagnostic tests beyond a conversation and a limited visual inspection via streaming with questionable resolution.

Pretty sure if the service is successful it'll just illustrate that $45/10m is the cost that people are willing to bear, and it won't change.

The supreme court has already ruled that a company's ToS can legally require you to forgo class action lawsuits in favor of individual arbitration, so apparently they feel that there's still some method of achieving compensation, despite the fact that a class action lawsuit is made up of a lot of small claims which no lawyer would have any interest in representing on an individual basis.

And how many different devices with Android are on the market at the same time? There's a difference between doing 2 major updates for one specific piece of hardware on one (now two) carriers, and doing multiple updates on dozens of different phones, all with different hardware, across multiple carriers. Although this is also why people have been complaining that google needs to force manufacturers to conform to some kind of spec if they want to use android.

All I know is that the UI on the WD live tv recently changed to more closely match the travesty that they turned their webpage into, and whoever is designing their UIs needs a kick in the head.

I'm trying to figure out how requiring the school district to enact it instead of it being enacted directly by the state makes it better, or how the school districts having a year to draft the policy makes it better. Those aren't even relevant to the conversation and you act as though the outcry hinges upon who's enacting the policy and the timeframe in which they will do so.

So your convenience trumps their right to peaceably assemble?

So just close your eyes, keep your mouth shut, and pretend not to see all abuses of authority because it's not a REAL fascist state.

How bad does it need to become, in your view, before people are allowed to object?

...now I kind of want to be able to rent board games.

I changed my subscription from 3 dvds + streaming to streaming only. Not to teach Netflix a lesson or because I was angry with them, but because the price increase made me really look at whether I wanted to continue paying that kind of price. If there'd been no price increase I probably wouldn't have given it any real thought and continued at my current subscription level indefinitely. Significant price percentage increases have the negative effect of making people actually stop to think about how much they're paying and for what, and most subscription services will end up the worse for that scrutiny.

Since when does patent infringement result in a ban on import rather than a fine and order to pay royalties for the patented item? Is it because HTC isn't a US company?

It's a pretty poor rebellion that is seeking to fight the army of the opposing side.

"Rebellion, uprising or insurrection, is a refusal of obedience or order.[1] It may, therefore, be seen as encompassing a range of behaviors aimed at destroying or replacing an established authority such as a government or a head of state"

So it's terrorism because it's not QUITE oppressive enough, but there's a certain tipping point where it becomes rebellion? I
