   I'm fairly certain that established case law requires the retailer to have actually offered the item at the listed reference price for a reasonable amount of time before the sale. Using the (usually inflated) MSRP as reference is in co

   In Quebec, the CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT adequately protects consumers from such unfair practices : 225. No merchant, manufacturer or advertiser may, falsely, by any means whatever, (a) invoke a price reduction; (b) indicate a regular price o

   I saw what you did. I don't think it is particularly productive nor mature. Aside from that, I don't care enough about either JADEs to contribute further to the debate. Edit: I meant productive in the context of the current litiga

   I don't know much about the original JADE company, but from their website "JADE 7 is a robust development platform for business applications" where programmes are written in the JADE language. This is obviously an issue when

   To be fair, I was rather confused when reading the title. I tough the original JADE was being sued. Now most Google results are related to new JADE lang. Obviously, there is a trademark issue. The fact that HN seems to like this new JADE mo

    My wife had a similar issue last week. She just notice the 600 CAD charge on her credit card. She is on maternity leave and, therefore, she is not using the software. She had no warning prior to the automatic renewing date and no invoice af

    It is not a complete platform though; you still need a 1000+$ PC to connect it to. Furthermore, the PS3 was a known quantity because of its predecessors. You could reasonably assume that you could get hundreds of hours of entertainment for

    JPEG 2000 is capable of compressing 1969x1307 images without issues. I work with JPEG 2000 codecs every day. It is commonly used in Virtual Microscopy with images in the tens of gigabytes as well as with small 256x256 MRI. I don't know
