I want them to fix the JavaScript related memory leaks in Mobile so I don't have to kill it several times a day. I guess that's too much to ask since this has been going on for literally years.

Humans didn't die until the 21st century?

The kinds of foods that trash your LDL predate the FDA and the United States.

I was thinking the same thing. It must have a whole raft of licensing fees on it. If the price keeps enough people out of the market for it then these will turn out to be some of the most valuable minifigs of all time. I wonder what it costs if you buy the same pieces (less the figures) via parts orders.

No, no. Depending on which state they're from, that could be more than enough.

[X] Irrational paranoia about the above

You do realize your butt isnâ(TM)t supposed to be in the toilet water, right? Thereâ(TM)s a reason the toilet seat exists, use it!

Theft is when someone takes something from you without mutual agreement (force) or without your knowledge.

Are both parties aware? Your post is false equivalency. Flight attendants for example only get paid for the time for when the airplane doors close until landing. They don't get paid for the fixed time spent traversing through the airport. They don't get paid for any pre-flight task such as prepping the cabin or boardingin passengers. Both parties are aware of those employment conditions and agreed to it. It's vastly different than "theft" which occurs without full disclosure.

We should also deport people who lack basic logic skills and can't handle factual information. I was stating an actual reality. If any company knows it has to pay you for waiting for Windows to load, they would adjust for that in your salary offer. That's a fact.

Oh, it's Windows. Nevermind .. my bad. That said, how long did it take for them to realize they weren't being paid for that time? If you knew the terms for which you're being paid why did you stick to the job longer than say 4 to 8 weeks (the time it takes to find a new gig). I mean, I used to work at companies where parking was sparse .. did they owe me for the time I spent hunting for a parking spot? If I didn't like it I could quit and find a McDonald's to work at. If the company had to pay for that time, they ould just make my salary lower to adjust.

Class action lawsuits are way for lawyers to make money.

People paying $2.99 for a flash game on their phone have finally figured out that you can play them for free on the interwebs. News at 11.

Erm... so a minimum wage employee has to risk their lives so you an feel better about "something" being done. I bet you also wonder why the modern world is fucked.

Also clue by four: if shops could stop shoplifting tomorrow they'd not lower prices, they'd just increase their profit margins. Hence if there is anyone to blame it is really the stores themselves. There's a load of changes they can make to store layouts to minimise theft and shrinkage, however they wont as it will reduce the purchase of impulse items significantly. Until shops are willing to do that, they're just complaining that someone else hasn't fixed their problem and protected their profits.

The local ASDA (UK supermarket) recently installed barriers that only open one way at the entrance to the store but still keeps impulse items outside the barriers... which makes them about as useful as a chocolate teapot. The barriers are waist height so they won't stop anyone and if you want to leave the shop you can just walk through the dozen or so unmanned checkouts. I suppose it will deter the casual theif... sometimes.

Conspiracy implies a degree of secrecy.

If you only had to make 9 widgets, you save money not making the tenth widget. You may claim that in mass manufacture it all costs the same, but then you'd have more employees "buying" your product too.

You are missing the point. Lower manufacturing cost is what every company must aim for. The idea that a company should pay its workers higher so that a market for their product can exist is nonsensical. It makes no sense to give someone money to buy your product. If making extra product somehow reduces costs and increases profits, then you could make extra product and incinerate it.
