Wish I had my mod points today...

So inviable to westerners that there are over a dozen such plants built or under construction in the US.

Where was there an "uncontrolled 'lord of the flies' style anarchy"? What book did you read?

Romanian is a Romance language (descended from Latin, like the others on the list, and French and Italian as more examples). However, it's an eastern Romance language, while the others on the list are western Romance languages. It does seem somewhat random to have it in that particular list, but then I know little about Romanian other than its genealogy.

No, it means having to do with physical motion or machinery. In Shoten's defense, "mechanical keyboard" is a complete misnomer in that ANY keyboard in which the keys physically move to actuate a switch is, in a strict technical sense, mechanical. For some reason we've mistakenly taken to calling classic (non-membrane) keyboards "mechanical," but if you're unaware of that redefinition it can be an understandably confusing phrase (particularly now that we live in a world where we interact with truly non-mechanical [ie touchscreen based] keyboards on a regular basis).

It is a "native print-to-printer" thing. Tap the share button, choose "Print." The only caveat is the printer must be AirPrint compatible, which most (if not all) consumer printers sold now are. For people with older printers or in corporate environments with larger office printers, there is both free and commercial AirPrint server software that can make any printer available to an iOS device.

I don't know how you got up modded for implying it is possible to put a stop to an internet meme. Especially considering the Streisand effect.

Too bad so sad? Are you five years old?

And yes, the casino owners were under the belief that the machine worked correctly, and the people in question initiated monetary transactions with them while omitting their knowledge that said machines were not, in fact, working correctly. This is deception even if you ignore the fact that the transaction occurs with the explicit, posted stipulation that payouts from machine errors are void.

I mean, seriously - by your logic it would be okay for the casino owners to just silently make every other transaction have a 0% probability of winning, ripping off customers who expect a chance at a payout, as long as the customer never specifically asks them about it. If you discover a machine is either broken (ie. an accident) or intentionally set up to steal your money (ie. fraud), wouldn't you want your money back? There is an implicit contract in any financial transaction; in this case, that the machine works as intended. The owner is protected by this as much as the consumer is.

Don't be a dumbass. The people in question was clearly aware of what they were doing and were actively and intentionally exploiting it. Same as the difference between getting overpaid change from a mathematically-challenged cashier and not noticing, and noticing the mistake and returning to engage in more transactions to fleece the idiot cashier.

If it's set up to do that intentionally, of course it did (well more specifically whoever controls the machine did). If it was accidental (as is likely, given that mechanical dispensers aren't flawless) it's not fraud but they do still owe you the money back - just like if the gambling machine accidentally gives you too much money, it's not fraud if you report the error and return the extra cash.

That's false, actually. If you don't attempt to correct the error, you've deceived the owner of the machine/money, who thinks the machine is disbursing correct payments while you know it is not. This may be passive deception (ie. a "lie of omission"), but it is deception nonetheless.

The owner of the money is under the impression that the machine is giving you the correct payout. You know this is not the case, but allow them to continue to believe that. That is deception, and fraud, whether you like it or not.

Hahahahahahaha hahaha.... Hahahaha... Wait a second while I peel myself off the floor here. Heh... Okay, what was that you were saying about private transportation being a tiny "very tiny subset" of people's transport usage? Also, the equation you gave your third-grader is wrong; you need separate variables for distance1 and distance2, and at that point the equation is not solvable until you do some research to determine what those distances would be in various real-world situations. Like, say, the research described in TFA.

Quite simple: in 2011 the company was running on the 2000-2009 decade's old hardware! Now don't you feel silly for questioning our infallible editors?

Whoosh. Sense of humor. Get one.
