As far as I've heard (don't take this as stone-cold facts) is that small amount of Marijuana is legalized in Australia, as well as growing it. Or at least ignored by the law. (For personal use etc).

So this blows my mind, I actually thought that Australia was an amazing country to live in, if you ignore all the deadly animals, enormous spiders and godzilla-like snakes.

It's not a warranty damnit.
And there's no legal requirement for a warranty in ANY european country.
I agree that the Consumer Law acts like a warranty but it's not one.


For an example.
Finnish consumer law lasts forever, it also requires the company to prove it's not a manufacturing defect.
Swedish consumer law lasts for 3 years, however it requires the customer to prove to the manufacturer that it's a defect.
Norwegian consumer law lasts for 5 years, it requires the company to prove to the customer it's not a manufacturing defect.

Obviously these laws have several more rules and paragraphs, but it's not a warranty - it's a consumer protection law just so companies cannot do what they do in the US. It is however not a RIGHT to get stuff repaired just becuase it broke after 2 years of usage, you have to claim consumer law.

I worked(read:8,5 hours every day) with this for 2,5 years, handling only consumer law cases from Scandinavia.

It never once claims that the warranty needs to be X years, ever wondered why Apple has 1 year warranty in every country in the world?

No, it's not REQUIRED by law to offer AT LEAST 2 years warranty, that's the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever fucking heard.
You're not required to give ANY warranty AT ALL, however there is something in europe called "Consumer Law" which acts like a warranty -> but in many countries you'll have to pay for the examination if the damage on the machine was user-created by accidental or intentional means.

Seriously people need to start fucking understanding that warranty is not a right, it's a "feature".

Are you saying Steve Jobs wont rise from the dead on Easter???????????????? HAVE YOU EVEN READ THE HOLY iBIBLE?

If the layout changed I couldn't type typewriter with only the top row of my keyboard.

And if I couldn't do that there would be no reason whatsoever to use a computer, I'd start living in the woods hunting bear for food.

And how is the average consumer going to use the machine then?

You're saying that you're using a linux dist without having to tweak your OS at all? And it's running smoothly for the past 5 years? I would like you to proove to me that it works fine for my mother to use Linux for 5 years. Even Ubuntu is a hassle to install bank IDs or similar on if you don't know what you're doing - aka you need to tweak.

Daily tasks that my mother and the majority of the worlds population uses computers for includes(but not limited to):
Facebook
Online Banking (paying bills and shit you know?)
Facebook
Checking your email
Facebook
Looking up phonenumbers
Facebook
Looking at Google Earth
Oh, and Facebook.

I don't clean my registry regulary nor do I run "cleanmyPCORMACORANYOTHERMACHINE!111.EXE/APP" all the time(read: never) and they don't "clog up" after 3 months of usage.

You're using computers wrong, I don't know how you are able to ruin a machine in 3 months, nor do I care because I don't have to clean up after you, but the fact remains you're using it wrong.

I'm talking 32% taxes on my salary - then add on purchases (20% average per purchase). I do however get free healthcare ~~ and non-corrupt police officers

Actually the one you're pointing out apple released a fix for in 10.6, therefore if your system is updated you're not infected by that specific one. But your point still stands, Apple Machines are as easily infected by a DNS changer as anything else that uses DNSes...

Try this for a change:

Update users mail client after user has been asking for it for 1year non-stop saying it's so much better.

1st hour after updating mail client.
"This mail sucks, the cursor goes down instead of up when I'm deleting an e-mail, this makes me delete e-mails I don't want to delete!"

2nd hour after updating mail client.

"The calendar is at the wrong place, the button is supposed to be on top, not on the bottom."

HOW IS THIS NOT A STUPID USER?

So what do you do when I add a picture to my files that makes it seem like they glow?
If something is possible on an icon it's possible on every icon.

I would NEVER EVER use a computer where I cannot root it if I need to.

The big question is why you let your ISP give out your private information for something that's indeed illegal but to someone that is not actually an law enforcer?
That if ANYTHING is inhuman.

Take this scenario for a fact:

I meet you (you're a pretty girl in this scenario!) online.
We chat up and I fall in love.
You see my picture and you go like ewwwww /.'er!1!11
I got your IP cuz I had you look at my picture via my fileserver, got yo IP logged betch.
You stop talking with me.(due to the picture)
I contact your ISP with ur IP claiming to be a person such as this.
I get your home address.
I break into your house and rape you cuz I'm a sick person.



Disclaimer, I would never do anything like this - but we all know the scenario could exist.

You're STILL going via your ISP, regardless of how encrypted you are. In fact, I would say that the ISP could call you a "suspicious character" due to the fact that you're encrypting your connection - we don't know what these tools might come up with.

And the US is the entire world?

Considering the murder-suiciderate in Poland it's population has probably decreased with 2million in 1 year, I mean we hear all the time about all the school shootings in Poland! And terrorist bombs!
