  Why is the tax preparer writing refund checks? Are they refund anticipation loans?...
• Commented on Claiming Adverse Possession Is Not Going To Get You A Mansion For Pennies
  Well, sort of. Those adversely possessing the property requires you to use it, if you're the actual title owner, you don't have to use it. You only have to kick out potential adverse possessors. But yes, if you ignore it...
• Commented on Claiming Adverse Possession Is Not Going To Get You A Mansion For Pennies
  I'm curious - what's the actual purpose of an adverse possession law? Why do states have them?...

• Commented on Clint Eastwood Denies Political Slant In Chrysler Super Bowl Ad
  Anything that suggests that anything good happened to America in the last three years is obviously politically biased toward Democrats, duh....
• Commented on There's More Sodium In Your Bread Than In Your Chips... Well, Maybe
  Actually, an ounce of chips is more than you might think. I believe a snack-sized bag is usually 2 ounces at the most....
• Commented on Should More Schools Have Plan B Contraceptive Available From Vending Machines?
  Actually, it's more a "correct" mailing list. You don't have to take it the "morning after;" it still works if you wait another few days. Also, it's sometimes administered in two doses, so "pill" is wrong. The best all-encompassing term...
• Commented on Should More Schools Have Plan B Contraceptive Available From Vending Machines?
  Good point. The legislature will soon make it illegal....
• Commented on Should More Schools Have Plan B Contraceptive Available From Vending Machines?
  I'm all for it, but does it follow the federal regulation? In a pharmacy, it must be kept behind the counter and you must ask the pharmacist for it. Is this close enough?...
• Commented on What's On The Menu? The Chef's Specially Smushed Together Meat Glue Steak
  Seems like a pretty cool product that could have a lot of interesting uses. But I'd really like to know if it's been used on a piece of meat I eat, especially since I usually order medium rare....
• Commented on Target's Unlimited Item Policy Allows Miami Duo To Gobble Up Most Of Jason Wu Line At One Location
  I was thinking about that too. I highly doubt it's theft, as you're not claiming it to be your property, and the person who you took it from didn't claim it to be his/her property. But it's surely against store...
• Commented on Target's Unlimited Item Policy Allows Miami Duo To Gobble Up Most Of Jason Wu Line At One Location
  There should be a Consumerist bingo space for something along the lines of "If he didn't break the law, what's the problem? Why is Consumerist posting about it?" Welcome to civil society. People disagree about things that are perfectly legal....
• Commented on McDonald's Apologizes For Saying Pit Bulls Are More Dangerous Than Its Chicken
  It's amazing how you deride people for making a behavioral assumption about a dog based on its breed, then you make two yourself: They are one of the lease children friendly breeds ... they are extremely powerful So do some...
• Commented on McDonald's Apologizes For Saying Pit Bulls Are More Dangerous Than Its Chicken
  That doesn't change the fact that they've been bred, generation after generation, to be dangerous. No matter how we treat them, the fact remains that they are built to be dangerous....
• Commented on H&M Comes Up With Charitable Settlement Over Stolen Design
  I assume H&M also won't create any new items with the design? I mean, $3k is a drop in the bucket, especially if they can continue to profit off it....
• Commented on McDonald's Apologizes For Saying Pit Bulls Are More Dangerous Than Its Chicken
  I'd be more sympathetic about pit bulls if they weren't specifically bred to be aggressive and violent. If you work for generations to make an animal that acts a certain way, don't be surprised when people assume that those animals...
• Commented on Home Improvement Projects To Warm Up Cold Rooms
  On the cove heater: I thought that since heat rises, you want to put heaters near the floor. Otherwise the heat just stays near the ceiling and you don't feel it as much down below....

  The Constitution does not say Congress cannot later put copyright on other media....
• Commented on Lawsuit: You Can't Charge Me With Downloading Porn Because You Can't Copyright Obscenity
  That's an interesting interpretation of stare decisis. Essentially, she's arguing that every court decision ever is still in effect, no matter what the court later ruled....
• Commented on Lawsuit: You Can't Charge Me With Downloading Porn Because You Can't Copyright Obscenity
  Technically she's right. No. Her argument depends on an extremely outdated interpretation of the constitution. Since then, multiple courts have interpreted copyright as covering obscene material. If the material is in and of itself illegal, though, copyright is the least...

  Only if you simultaneously reduce the amount of money going to each recipient....
• Commented on Hard-Up College Students Turning To Food Stamps

• Commented on Former Intern Sues Magazine Publisher, Claiming She Was An Unpaid Full-Timer
  I did four internships in college, three were unpaid. Only one of the unpaid ones was full-time though. Honestly, it would have been nice to get paid, but then the newspapers I worked for probably wouldn't have had the internships...

  It's a good thing scientists don't make laws....
• Commented on Angry Birds CEO: "Piracy May Not Be A Bad Thing"
  It's not piracy if the copyright holder approves of it. The whole point of copyright is that the copyright holder can choose who uses it and how. If the copyright holder says it's okay, then it's okay....
