How about people who go deaf immediately as they pressurize the cabin? I barely hear anything when they do that. So I can't listen to the instructions. Do I get tossed around the cabin if an incident occurs?
No! Because I use common sense, and stay in my seats pretty much the whole time, most times even with my seatbelt on, even if the sign says that it's safe for me to remove the belt.
Also quite a leap to go to: "people not paying attention are the ones that get tossed around the cabin"
What about people who've flown for years, they can recite it better than the flight attendants can.
Technically it doesn't offer an improvement, as more blades don't generally offer a better shave, despite what the ads claim. But if that particular kind of razor works for you, more power to you.
The MAFFIAA using taxpayer's money to hunt the same taxpayers down in fruitless attempts to "combat piracy" (or rather make people complacent with their rules) feel like the schoolyard bully saying "Stop hitting yourself" while holding your arms.
Their idea of extra legroom is to put you behind a solid wall, without a place to put your feet.
Their idea of customer service on an 9.5 hour flight (including the 1.5 hrs spent waiting for the plane to take off) was 2 small glasses of water, and a particularly bad meal.
and got told off for holding my Ebook reader in my hands (it's an older model that doesn't even have niceties like Wifi or other networking).
Next to me was a couple entertaining their (sick) baby with a DVD player, on the other side of the aisle a guy was talking on his phone, we were still standing still on the tarmac (and would remain so for about 1.5 hours), but I, and I alone, got told off "Sir, you mustn't use electronic devices until after we've taken off".
Lesson: The stewards and stewardesses have some weird ideas what constitutes an electronic device, and which might cause some interference. And besides the whole "you mustn't use electronic devices" is plain bullshit.
Why would it be bad on the ground, but be perfectly okay during the flight?!
I started the old fashioned DE-shaving last year. I can say that I've never been more smooth in the face. :)
Throw out your overpriced can of shaving goo and your gillette 12 bladed electricly buzzing deathmachine, and get a brush, some soap, a nice DE-razor and blade, and lather and shave away.
But more on topic, I can't say that I'm surprised. It should be that patents encouraged innovation, but it is being used to punish people who dare to innovate for quite a few years now.
So, the movie studios complained when they were getting free publicity from fans, but they herald companies they have to pay to give them the same kind of publicity?
And then they complain that piracy is eating into their profits? They're insane!
