The airlines will simply insert a clause in the purchase agreement that says they can dock you the difference if you don't show up on the second leg.

That is very unlikely to survive a legal challenge, because although statistically people doing what you are doing may be costing them money, (difficult to prove, but plausible) they would have a very hard time proving that not providing YOU the service caused them additional expenses that requires recovery.

Just because it's included in the contract doesn't guarantee it's enforceable.

" Waiting even four minutes for a demo is fairly long, which shows that higher speeds are in fact needed by average users today"

No, that just shows that programmers need to learn to tighten up their bloated code. I've seen demoscene stuff pushing PS3-level graphics before the PS3 was even available.

Oh, and the demo was written in 96 KILOBYTES.

" Their description is accurate enough for marketing materials"

It is still wholly inaccurate and misleading no matter how you try to say it.

*YOU* sound like one of those LED grow light manufacturers - only say enough to get attention, and not enough to explain the concept fully, thus getting idiots to buy on a misleading statement.

BTW, since you seem to not keep up with technology - we've got pulse-oximeters that don't even use light. That's OLD TECH. Catch up with the times, and maybe my patent portfolio while you're at it.

You must not have much in the way of cognitive ability yourself.

Apple does no testing. The companies that manufacture their products do the testing. Apple just slaps shit together and hopes it works.

They also have pretty much zero quality controls. Getting an entire shipment of Apple logic boards from Guadalajara FILLED WITH SAND tends to put a damper on your repair quota.

" It absorbs *most* of the green light, and therefore green is useful."

Actually, no, it doesnt. It absorbs HUGE TRACTS of green light *IN A SPECIFIC WAVELENGTH*

Which means if they use 540nm green LEDs whereas blood typically reflects 560 nm (proven) then they just fucked themselves.

Go to an actual school for this, please.

Easy - they claim it works by detecting wavelengths using a green diode and photodetector.

Anyone with any biology experience and light experience can tell you EVERYTHING will either absorb or reflect a certain wavelength.

Apple's saying that BLOOD ONLY REFLECTS RED is bullshit.

Next idiot question, please.
