Well, leaving aside whether a lot of people don't distrust and whether a lawyer would or should be among those people, lawyers typically don't cite things without checking them first. I work at a biglaw firm, can't imagine it never getting caught that the cases don't exist. This sounds like a midsize firm, should be fairly similar.

There are a few small law firms/sole prop type guys, however, who I have crossed paths with for whom this kind of stupidity and carelessness would be on brand though.

Guess he was just in a rush and figured this would be one of the 2/10 times he files something without at least taking a look at the opinions first, and it ended up being a massive error.

I think the alternative assumption would require some more evidence. The notion they are correct is default (until they are overruled by SCOTUS).

It would have taken about 1 minute to put each of them into a tool like Casetext, Lexis, WL, or Bloomberg Law to determine they didn't exist.

This is a stupidly glib comment. The poster meant that the reality of life as a Jehova's Witness cannot be gleaned from looking at some document of the religion, and I think you knew that, but decided to take a shot at the Bible anyways because you've been acculturated to think that dunking on religion is both correct and acceptable.

Oh interesting.

I would be willing to give them a shot one again one day (there are so few purveyors of pre-installed Linux computers), though not for the ~$1k Thelio costs.

Right now, WSL is working great for me, but Windows seems to be getting increasingly aggressive with wanting one to use their search, etc.

I agree re: junk.

Their build quality feels poor. Sometimes it's hard to tell when an issue is just a vicissitude of using Linux or their fault, but I would overall not recommend.

I skimmed it. Does it say who they think they monarch should be?

As someone who owned 2 System76 machines, I would not say that noise ranks very high among issues they should tackle.

That people still wear watches baffles me.

The stitching of the mice together is by far worse than anything else I've read in this thread.

One of the worst things I've read in a while, in fact.

Or good lawyering by MSFT's lawyers.

Your comment implies that the Federal government legit thinks MSFT's monopolies are ok, and that they always get what they want in this area. Obviously the latter is def not true.

Did she file a plethora frivolous lawsuits in the aftermath and encourage her supporters to storm Congress?

Your position is ridiculous and morally inept.

Fake news about Hillary Clinton is a good example, as is Breitbart's very existence, as are foreign reddit bots, as are a lot of political extremists parroting views in their own posts on subjects about which they have no knowledge, etc.

Granted, for things like Breitbart, one has to affirmatively opt-in.
