Subject: Regarding lifetime warranty
I too am confused by the idea of a lifetime warranty. The idea that this endless cycle of birth, suffering, rebirth can somehow be subdivided into discrete intervals we choose to term "lifetimes" is fallacious at best. However, much as Zeno's arrow does eventually hit it's target, we too press onwards even with the faulty maps and uncertain paths we are forced to rely on. There are times when an examined life is one's best choice and contemplation brings the answers one seeks. This is not one of those times.
Working with what we know, our best estimate as to the effective length of Netgear's lifetime warranty is 12.1 years. This estimate takes into account the path that Netgear as a corporate entity will most likely take going forward as well as the never ceasing march of technology into the horizon of obsolescence. This estimate has a margin of error of +/- 12.1 years and it may turn out that the warranty actually expires prior to purchase. This is highly unlikely but due diligence requires that you be made aware of this possible outcome.
I hope this has been helpful to you in guiding your decision. Please be sure to read our white paper in time for the Christmas holidays: Tyrannies of Choice in Mobile Communications Device Selection aka Buy the Fucking iPhone.

Slashdot
This may be the best thing i have read on /. in a while
Hugh Pickens writes "The Business Software Alliance (BSA) is a trade group established in 1988 representing a number of the world's largest software makers whose principal activity is trying to stop copyright infringement of software produced by its members, performing roughly the same function for the software industry that the RIAA performs for the music industry. Yet, as Bill Patry, author of a 7-volume treatise on US copyright law and currently Senior Copyright Counsel at Google, notes on his blog the BSA is a 'far less unpopular organization' than the RIAA because there are three key differences between the BSA's campaigns and the RIAA's. First, BSA's members have always offered their products for sale to the public, through any channel that wants to sell them. Second, BSA's members are consumer-oriented; they try to develop products that respond to consumers' needs, and not, the reverse: focusing on what they want to sell to consumers. Third, because consumers can easily purchase BSA's members products, those who copy without paying are simply scofflaws. 'I think the fact that the public does not object to BSA's campaign proves my point [that]... people do not want things for free; they are willing to pay for them,' writes Patry. 'It should not be surprising that when consumers are not treated with respect, they react negatively. That's something the software industry learned long ago, and that's why people don't object to the BSA's enforcement campaign.'"

There I fixed it entry
So I am headed out for a night on the town and my flip flops try to sabatoge me!
I decide no sir I will not be stopped. I decide its time to call on my old friend Mr Duct Tape. Yes sir, I tapped that strap back into place and danced my booty off all night.
The previous week when the strap originally came out, I fixed it with electrical tape.
Man I luv my reef's
