Yowza!
The name had washed over me completely when I read TFS. Not only the name, but the fact that we were talking about a Dell device. This thread has now set the name in my head.
There you go, and you can thank the folks I responded to for helping to set the hook.
I don't make the rules, I just make fun of them.
So what you are saying is that if say, the thing had awful battery life, and we commented on it, we'd be doing Dell a favor? The marketing guys and gals would bask in the glow of knowing they had done their jobs, and give the battery design team all raises because they generated buzz?
Names are not functions, or the awfully named iPad would never have caught on. Try to tell the difference between one thing and another - it will really help you exist in this world.
I am gratified that this so tweaks you that you felt you had to respond to three of my posts.
I have no such interest in you. Fare thee well.
So if I see you being attacked I should just assume its your own business and walk away?
No, because in that case the attack is happening, as the GP said, in your location. He explicitly stated that the people in the area where the attacks are occurring should respond.
Why are you pretending you don't understand the point?
yes they are "literally" advancing their cause
... and you are figuratively moving the goalposts. "Advancing their cause" is not the same thing as "working for". If you literally work for someone, that means you take direction from them, and are paid for your efforts.
I disagree. I can literally work for a political candidate, without either taking direction from him, or getting paid. Also, you did say, "and are paid for your efforts", which would mean you think unpaid interns don't work for the companies who give them internships.
The real culprit here is the English language, which is not very precise. I think you're counting on a certainty that's not present.
Obviously it isn't the whole law: wood has quite a lot of calories and burns nicely in a stove. But try getting fat from eating sawdust.
What, nobody told you what that "filler" is in all those foods imported from China?
I thought the filler was melamine. Or lead.
