"@ineedtosay: diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, known to be fatal in almost all cases Except you didn't even bother to read the hundreds of articles that mentioned the fact that Jobs' Islet Cell pancreatic cancer is the most survivable pancreatic cancer, with excellent prognosis in most cases."

"Idiots."

CaliforniaCajun commented on Steve Jobs Reportedly Under the Knife at Stanford Hospital Today

"@marm0lade: Do you know what the pancreas does? I love the idiots who insist that it's their right to know why Steve Jobs is in the hospital, but who are too busy to go read a 1000-word article on Wikipedia to actually find out the repercussions of certain ailments. Witness all the complete idiots who pronounced Jobs "dead fer shure!" because he had the all-encompassing and always fatal "pancreatic cancer"."

CaliforniaCajun commented on Your Car Is Used. Should GM Still Be Responsible For A Mistake It Made In The Factory?

"@MrEvil:GM sending a lawyer to court to defend themselves would certainly cost more than $459 I reckon if they got served with court papers they'd have a check and settlement offer in the OP's hands well before the court date. You are considering the cost of a single case."

"@warf0x0r: How does the same issue, which was a fault of the manufacturer, suddenly not a responsibility of the manufacturer. Because Microsoft has assured themselves through testing that some (90%+, probably) large percentage of failures related to the design problem will occur within three years, and that some majority of failures beyond three years will be due to other causes not related to design or manufacturing quality. The problem described in this article is completely different; as if Microsoft had put a mostly-compatible part into a single XB360 and later dismissed a warranty claim based on their error."

"@Wim Mulder: If GM sold the product with a faulty/misprogrammed BCM, they are liable if the customer can prove that the failure happened within the warranty period or that the part was defective as delivered. It was very rare, but occasionally in Customer Relations/Executive Relations at Apple, we'd get a call referred up from a service provider or tier 1 agent for a part that was defective during the warranty period, but not discovered until after the warranty had technically expired. One I remember in particular is the case of a guy who'd had his computer delivered to his office while he was out of the country."
