Because without punitive damages companies will - boy, oh boy are there oodles of examples - just do wrong until they get caught ... if they get caught and only have to pay some potential small fine. Punitive damages punish those who did wrong on purpose. http://www.kansascity.com/2010/03/01/1782803/nearly-2-million-awarded-to-blue.html This car dealer KNOWLINGLY sold a previously damages car to a young couple without disclosing it. The damage was not readily visible to a non technical car person. The car dealer refused to cover issues with the car UNDER WARRANTY THEY SOLD. Yeah, they got hit with punitive damages. And maybe, maybe they won't do it again.

Do you mean that Ticketmaster, who was able to tell artists and venues that they were able to sell out an event faster than ever before, has no real incentive to stop this activity ? Who cares if the public gets burned ,,, Ticketmaster earned their money in 45 minutes not the normal 2 weeks or a month.

You would be wrong here tepples. That is EXACTLY what the Miley Cyrus tour did last year. Please call the Sprint Center in Kansas City to see how well it went. Rather than the concert selling out in 15 or 45 minutes as it did the tour prior ... tickets were available for days. Wonder why ? Yep, grandmothers who bought their kids tickets had to show up. And the uncle in Hawaii who bought them for Christmas did too. But the legitimate ticket sellers told people this prior to selling tickets to the uncle in Hawaii. Just like I can't take advantage of really cool sales at Frys in Campbell California, I can't buy tickets for a concert their either. Minors do have school IDs and they are issued by a agent of the Government - a school district. .

My God, Don't like it ... ??? DONT USE IT. It works great for me. You know you can go to "city.craigslist.org" in your URL field .... right ? Change it. See what happens. Learn, like or leave. The rest of us seem just fine with the "like" part. I live in Kansas City .. but search in LA or NewHaven or Boston ... works great. I post in Saint Louis ... works great. How about you adapt to simple instead of try to make complicated.

you would be wrong there buddy. if I can save $15K per ESX host (3.5 - I don't know 4.x w/new vsphere ) Iwill certainly try ... $100K is a lot of money ....
