They're called adhesion contracts. EULAs are the most common example, but so are the warranties that come with mass produced goods, the terms on your ticket stub at a ball game or a parking garage -- these things are contracts and they are enforceable. They're just held to a (very slightly) higher standard of fairness before being held unconscionable.

Theoretically you could break a contract of adhesion, hire a lawyer, and get away with it. But that lawyer will charge you more than you would have to pay for windows (unless he's a very cheap lawyer, or you get a really bad deal on windows). So, click accept little sheep, go down the ramp into the windowless room now please.

And thank God for them. Someone has to invest in the U.S. with a sight-line longer than three quarters down the road.

But could you do without cheap missile guidance systems for very long if we actually go to the bad place with China?

Muhahhaaha "fined" for the "time saved" in writing 9 lines of code that the judge already advised counsel he (the judge) could write in less than am afternoon. Ooooh look out, here cones a $10,000 fine. Quick, sell GOOG now!!!

If you can see it, you will eventually understand it.

The allegation is that fb overstated its earnings in the prospectus. That would be fraud. . . If true.

Avoid IPOs? But if he did buy, he would mot sell.

Actually, in the first iron man movie it was a plot point leading up to that very scene that th.e U.S. military wasnt engaging to destroy the macgiffin/weapon because said terrorists were using human shields. Iron Man, being a super hero (and not a drone) equipped with magic technology could go in and do the viscerally satisfying deed.

Not sure what a super hero movie abojt a guy wearing a magic suit has to do with drone strikes. But lets agree, yes, war is hell.
