+1. My kingdom for mod points.

I have to do my own ironing?

Well I don't know if this would be called fraud, but in the UK it does break consumer protection laws.
In the UK, goods sold must be "as advertised" and "fit for purpose".
The PS3 update breaks both of these: the PS3 is now no longer "as advertised" or "fit for purpose" as the advertised OtherOS function has been removed.
Likewise, if you do not update, another advertised function (the ability to play on PSN) no longer works.
Giving the consumer the choice of which function to give up isn't much consolation (no pun). :)

I do wonder, though: if the record industry somehow managed to successfully sue someone for more money than the entire world combined made last year and also magically managed to get payment in full, how much would the artists who made the content under dispute get?

Nothing, same as they got in all the other lawsuits/shakedowns.

Google says about 133000 results. That should keep the lawyers busy.

Are you a friend of Raymond Luxury Yacht by any chance?

Of course we can. ACTA isn't just about piracy you know. What really scares big media is that they lose control. They don't want people to realise that music and films can be home made and self published. After all, why would we need them any more if that were the case?

You would also be able to discover that the new bands that the labels are hyping are total garbage, and they don't want that do they? You are supposed to hand over your cash for what you are told is the 'latest thing' and not ask any questions.

Limiting tickets per person doesn't work. My friend went to buy tickets for himself, his wife and their two children. Limit was two per person. Luckily his brother was with him and had his credit card on his so they got two each.
Scalpers get hundreds of tickets. Many of these are corporate tickets that get sold off as the businesses only use a few of their allocation each year, the rest are sold off. Make businesses return unused tickets for public sale rather than selling them off to scalpers.

Thats pretty easy to fix. Just allow refunds on unused tickets. Life stops you doing things sometimes, cant be helped. If someone tries to get refunds on 300 tickets however, they are scalpers and get told where to go.

A long time ago, I went to Shirecliffe College. Someone decided it would be a good idea to rename it Shirecliffe Higher Institute for Technology and Education. Aparently they got as far as having the signs made before someone noticed...

I can't comment on gas or electricity, but in the UK you absolutley cannot turn off someones water supply. It is classed as a basic human need for survival. Unfortunately, some people try to use this as a way to get out of paying their water bill.

What do you mean? It should only take about 10 mins...

Oh, wait... :(

As a true nerd I demand more details!

Which boss, did you get the kill, and what loot dropped?
