    So is war necessary now that Powell said his stuff? I think we should try for another round of inspections, given this evidence in the open. If that doesn't work, I guess we are down to our last resort. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  2. I haven't had the opportunity to watch it (we don't have TV here at the uni place), but the CNN article sounds pretty damn convincing. Frankly, I suspected this all along. Anyone notice how it was Powell that pushed for this to happen? Or is it just me? Anyway, I really want to hear what the opponents of Bush have to say (billvon, where are you?) I'm no biologist, but I would imagine that it isn't that difficult. Especially if you don't care much for the quality of that food. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  5. If there is an aggravated danger to the customer consuming the product, the danger is related some property of the product directly, if this danger is present even if the product is consumed reasonably, and if this danger is not obvious to your average consumer, it should be illegal to sell the product without a label warning of that danger. Now we need to agree on what aggravated means, what directly means, what reasonably means and what average means. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  12. John Grisham has a book on the subject of punitive damages and damages of non-monetary value called "The Runaway Jury". Even though the tobacco companies have long lost their first lawsuit, it's still good. I think it depends on how bad the bagel was. If it was so spoiled and rotten inside that I got poisoned, my liver gave up and I am now on dyalisis (sp?), I think that I should get a whole lot more than 2 bucks. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  13. Ugh, it's difficult to come across right. I was trying to say that both people and corporations should be accountable. If the bagel was a problem, it's the corporation's fault. If not, it's the person's fault. But it should be obvious to the person and corporation, and shouldn't make it to court if the guy is just being stupid. I must admit, even though I can see how these people may have a point, it's probably frivolous. Worse, it's a copycat of the coffee lawsuit. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  14. Or corporations. If I live to see a time when corporations have a sense of accountability and responsibility beyond what the legal system enforces, I will see everything. Somewhere I saw an article about "legal expense accounts". Corporations keep them, not to pay for lawyers, but to pay for the lawsuits that will follow bad products. The price of failure of their products actually goes into their profit calculations. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  16. The problem here is that the state might end up encouraging frivolous lawsuits and also helping them win, just to get the money. They way it stands now the encouragement for frivolous lawsuits is from the money they award, but at least the state is impartial. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

    Microsoft sucks. They just do. Proof follows, just read the comments: Public Sub FindWithVariables() Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Dim strCriteria As String Dim strName As String Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset strName = "Alfreds Futterkiste" ' This will give error 3001: ' strCriteria = "[CompanyName] = strName" ' So will this: ' strCriteria = "[CompanyName] = " & strName ' This worked in DAO, but doesn't in ADO, because ADO ' doesn't allow double-quotes for quoting ' strCriteria = "[CompanyName] =""" & strName & """" ' This works -- unless your string contains ' an apostrophe! strCriteria = "[CompanyName]='" & strName & "'" rst.Open "tblCustomers", CurrentProject.Connection, _ adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable rst.Find strCriteria If Not rst.EOF Then Debug.Print rst.Fields("CustomerID") End If ' Now let's try an apostrophe: strName = "La corne d'abondance" ' The previous solution gives error 3001 again, ' because of the embedded apostrophe ' strCriteria = "[CompanyName]='" & strName & "'" ' But we can double the embedded apostrophe: strCriteria = "[CompanyName]=" & _ adhHandleQuotes(strName) rst.Find strCriteria If Not rst.EOF Then Debug.Print rst.Fields("CustomerID") End If ' What about two apostrophes? strName = "Joe's and Ed's Grocery" ' This gives error 3001...ADO only understands ' ONE doubled apostrophe strCriteria = "[CompanyName]=" & adhHandleQuotes(strName) rst.Find strCriteria ' This is undocumented, but it works: strCriteria = "[CompanyName]=#" & strName & "#" rst.Find strCriteria If Not rst.EOF Then Debug.Print rst.Fields("CustomerID") End If ' But what about this one... strCriteria = "Joe's #9 Winner's Grill" ' You're sunk!

  19. I meant that you'll need implants after the bagel (and not the silicone kind) Seriously, if something is dangerous in not obvious ways it should be marked.

  21. So do I. But, I don't think this is all too groundless. If the "bagel" was actually bread-turned-solid-rock, you bit into it and broke most of your front teeth and had to have them implanted or something, you would: be short of a couple of tens of thousands of dollars, miss a month or more of work (maybe be fired), just in general suffer.

  23. Have you ever seen a parachute being packed? How it's stuffed into a bag? I swear, some of those packjobs look like they will not open. The first time I packed under supervision I honestly believed there are about 463 mals in that packjob. I didn't really understand what I did with all the flaking and stacking, I barely stuffed into the bag, there was fabric sticking out, the lines stows were uneven and weird, it barely closed, etc etc. One of the experienced guys at the DZ said he'll jump it any time though. And someone did, and guess what? It opened perfectly. You just don't abort these kind of risky missions because something does not look picture perfect. If you did, noone would go to space, and sure as hell noone will ever jump. There's a reason why the propack is also called a trash pack. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

  24. You misunderstood me I think. That 7 of our finest people died is what they are mourning about. What they are forgetting is HOW they died.
