Maybe I'm missing something, since I've never had to go through arbitration (or small claims court). But couldn't a lawyer/firm put together a kit to show you what you needed to do to take these cases to small claims court, or even requesting arbitration? Do companies have a time limit for arbitration? I could only imagine if a law firm did a "class" action style sign up for these kits, and charged people a small amount of money for it (generic kit, couple hours, sell it for like $10 even) that it would cost these companies a large sum of money to respond to all of them.

This is so true, I'm taking some college courses online and I've picked up the solutions manuals for the courses. I'm not using these for the assignments, but I do use it to see what I've done wrong when my teachers provides no feedback. The one "awesome" teacher just attaches a word document for his marks, and this is just a copy and paste from the solutions manual. This is probably the teacher I've hated the most while doing courses online, he'll give you a mark like 5.74 out of 6, and then just the word document with no idea why the one number you got wrong was worth .26 of the assignment.

Not $2.25, 2.25% ... probably makes a bit more of a difference :)

Xeon is not usually considered a consumer product but a business product.

I've seen said sponge speak in English, Spanish, Chinese, and other various "human" languages, so I don't think OP was that wrong :)

And on that note I use to have a co-worker with a strong Indian accent, even though he had lived here in Canada for about 20 years, and he would have people hang up on him because they didn't want to speak to someone in India.

And on that note

And who is to say what is an important fact?

Someone interested in geological formations would obviously find those facts important. Someone interested in the wild life of the area could be very interested to know what type of moose your country has while doing a project.

This is the problem with a bias free publication, because just by omitting unimportant facts you are generating bias no matter what you would like the internet to believe.

You mean where the TSA passed cleared him through security and then at Delta's insistence had to then re-review him, clear him again (this time with some harassment of course), and then have Delta's pilot throw him off the plane? Clearly sounds like that is ALL the TSA's fault! Neither Delta or the pilot did anything wrong at all!

So did they let you borrow the book, or pirate it? You never actually answered the reason you decided to try the site, just that he had a shitty search engine.

Although unlike landmines you won't have millions of land mines sitting in the ground for decades waiting for people to step on them.

At the moment I've been taking 3-4 classes as part of distance education online (which the college is horrible at). In the 4 semesters I've had so far I've had 5 courses that required a access code, or the book (usually it was cheaper for me to buy used, and then by the access code directly from the publisher).

I'm too lazy to read it, but if you have a volunteer play your music you don't need to pay? (my co-worker was my DJ)

I can think of one problem with this, just because they lose the extradition case, doesn't mean they'll give up their case against him. They can easily hold the case without him being there (Spamhaus comes to mind), and then where is he planning on suing them?

So not direct democracy as not every one would have the ability to vote on things even if they wanted to?
