I think a court order should be filed over false advertising. Like naming your fashion line of open-toed sandals 'Steel Toe Combat Boots'

If you gave it to a homeless man without telling him the pricetag, he won't tell the difference.

Sounds good to me, but I don't have sufficient backing for that justification.

I love how Barnes & Noble specifically promoted some of these "banned" books. Every library and bookstore should do this.

"It's been a lifelong dream of mine since I'm 14 years old," Garlick told NY1 immediately after he won the auction to buy the Flatiron last week. "I've worked every day of my life to be in this position. We're honored to be a steward of this historic building, and it will be our life's mission to preserve its integrity forever."

From the sounds of it, they never meant to do anything with it other than preserve it as a landmark.

"US college costs just keep climbing. And the increase is pushing the annual price for the upcoming academic year at Ivy League schools toward yet another hold-on-to-your-mortarboard mark: $90,000.

Full costs at elite private colleges already stretch well into the $80,000s, or upward of $320,000 for four years. At places like Brown University, the cost of attendance (tuition, room, board and fees) is almost $85,000, well above what the typical US household earns. Financial aid, in the form of grants, scholarships, loans and work-study programs, closes the gap for many."

"“At some point, that math stops working out,” said Akers, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank. “We get to a place where these degrees are just no longer worth it.”

Even at today’s high and rising prices, a bachelor’s degree tends to pay off in earnings power — though that can vary widely depending on the major. And at the most elite US schools, there’s no sign of a slowdown in demand for coveted spots."

Don't forget the plane has to crash and someone has to go rescue Wilson.

Tldr;

The IEEE 802.11 standard includes power-save mechanisms that allow WiFi devices to conserve power by buffering or queuing frames destined for sleeping devices.

When a client station (receiving device) enters sleep mode, it sends a frame to the access point with a header that contains the power-saving bit, so all frames destined for it are queued.

The standard, however, does not provide explicit guidance on managing the security of these queued frames and does not set limitations like how long the frames can stay in this state.
