- barredo 16y agoI would guess they would use this clause in a trial if someone links to their site with something the dont like, ie: "ryanair kill my dog"
- praptak 16y agoToo many lawyers who want to look useful. I actually remember my boss telling me to put bullshit clauses in contract drafts so that those people have something to chew at and refrain from messing with the actual matter of the contract.
- patrickk 16y agoReminds me of this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2349378/new-programming-jargon-you-coined/2444361#2444361 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2349378/new-programming-j... It was on HN a while back.
- bambax 16y agoThis is a well known tactic, and it works. When discussing a list of points in a meeting, the secret is to have a big controversial question come up first (that you don't actually care about): dealing with this first question eats up time, but what's better, it exhausts everyone. Then all the following points are much easier to sell.
- eli 16y agoRyanair probably hates airline deal sites.
- rmc 16y agoProbably to stop online 'price compare' or 'find a bargain' website. Ryanair want people to buy via their site so they can upsell.
- iuytghyjuyh 16y agoIn Ryanair's case they do mean it. They basically don't allow price comparisons. Ryanair like a lot of the sleazier cheap airlines advertise very low $1 fares and then add $100 in fees to bring them back up to what their competitors are charging - they don't like sites such as Kayak being able to compare the real price you pay. - Excluding government fees and taxes is allowed, since everybody pays the same. Ryan are famous for basically making up their entire fare from fees leaving you with no idea what you are paying until you enter your credit card
