mircea_popescu: which has been perpetually a problem in any attempt at justice.
mircea_popescu: just saying that the definitions of words aren't at all that pinned down as we like to think them
mircea_popescu: you bought a laptop that'd run for months not for hours.
mircea_popescu: but you can't really run the laptop w/o power except for two hours

mircea_popescu: bobbabad_ it's not a comeback. it's an attempt to help you start on the work of self-education. do try and answer the question, it's important.
mircea_popescu: bobbabad_ who are you and why do you think it matters how things look to you ?

mircea_popescu: well you know it's always good policy to get the manufacturer to write the bet, even if you want to bet on yes.
