Works OK for me. Not sure about everyone else tho.

Delta had very little choice but to swallow the losses (or face fines). The Department Of Transport has strict rules that ban price changes after a fare has been ticketed (money has changed hands, a contract for carriage is agreed).

TLDR:

Does the prohibition on post-purchase price increases in section 399.88(a) apply in the situation where a carrier mistakenly offers an airfare due to a computer problem or human error and a consumer purchases the ticket at that fare before the carrier is able to fix the mistake?

Section 399.88(a) states that it is an unfair and deceptive practice for any seller of scheduled air transportation within, to, or from the United States, or of a tour or tour component that includes scheduled air transportation within, to, or from the United States, to increase the price of that air transportation to a consumer after the air transportation has been purchased by the consumer, except in the case of a government-imposed tax or fee and only if the passenger is advised of a possible increase before purchasing a ticket. A purchase occurs when the full amount agreed upon has been paid by the consumer. Therefore, if a consumer purchases a fare and that consumer receives confirmation (such as a confirmation email and/or the purchase appears on their credit card statement or online account summary) of their purchase, then the seller of air transportation cannot increase the price of that air transportation to that consumer, even when the fare is a “mistake.” A contract of carriage provision that reserves the right to cancel such ticketed purchases or reserves the right to raise the fare cannot legalize the practice described above. The Enforcement Office would consider any contract of carriage provision that attempts to relieve a carrier of the prohibition against post-purchase price increase to be an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of 49 U.S.C. 41712.

Uh... that doesn't look like a server / enterprise class disk to me. It looks like a normal old Seagate disk that Apple want to charge lots for cause it has an Apple sticker on it.

See my previous post.

It is also worth noting that while _some_ ISP's in Australia try to charge an Arm and 2x Legs for going over your CAP most ISP's offer a "Speed Cap" where your speed is limited if you use more data than you have purchased.

Also there is at least one ISP that I know of that allows its users to by extra data if they want / need more than their standard plan allows for a calendar month.

Oh an to all of those people who are bitching that "bandwidth is cheap" have you ever wondered why your 20Mbit Cable connection typically runs at something _much less_ than that??

Go on , have a think about it for a while.

I watched on live YLE 1 in Finland, and the commentators explained as the fireworks were let off that part of the footage of of the giant footsteps before they reached the stadium were generated, but the fireworks at the stadium were live.

Seems to me someone is trying to sensationalize a non issue.
