Court Rules Nokia Must Pay Damages To Buyers of Faulty Phones In Mexico 25
An anonymous reader writes Nokia must pay damages to consumers in Mexico who reported malfunctioning handsets, following a court ruling for a trial that has lasted four years. The case was brought to court by Mexican watchdog Profeco in 2010, before the Finnish manufacturer was acquired by Microsoft – that deal was only completed earlier this year. Profeco added that the court has ordered Nokia to either replace the faulty handsets and/or reimburse their cost. On top of that, Nokia must also pay compensation totaling at least 20 percent of the damages resulting from malfunctioning. Customers that had been affected by faulty Nokia equipment would be able to seek damages even if they had not yet presented complaints.

Let's also structure the lawsuit settlement, to where if you are in the US illegally from Mexico, that you have to go home and file your claim.
And then, if you want to come back, you follow the laws and rules and apply for citizenship. And, you'll have your new working phone to call those left in the US and talk with them and keep in touch.
Perfect solution!!

You have a problem with people following the laws and rules of the country (US in this example)?
I mean, seriously, they are there for a reason and should be followed until changed legislatively...I was just trying to put it into a slightly more humorous light.

I do, sometimes, depending on the laws. I certainly do have a problem with people blindly following laws that really should be abolished - one great way to effect that sort of change is to gradually have more and more people think the laws just aren't worth following, then people start to think they also aren't worth enforcing, then after long enough, the law turns into one of those laws that ends up in one of those "10 laws you can't believe are still in the books" lists.

under posted speed limits also fall there and that idea also makes people speed in work zones as well even when they should be going slower but even then 45 can be to slow for some of them.

Well, then who is to decide what laws to break? I sure could use that new Porsche you bought, but I can't afford it, but it would understandably help me in so many ways..so, therefore I should disregard the law and take it.
Yeah, I do kind of say "fuck illegal immigrants"...but I also am quite WELCOMING of legal immigrants.

What bigotry?
It was making humor of a situation, where we have a large and growing number of illegal immigrants coming into the US and causing a drag on our economy.
How can a fact be bigotry? Sure, it happens to be mostly from a single country, but facts are facts and have nothing to do with bigotry.
Frankly, I welcome LEGAL immigrants with open arms, no matter where they're from, as long as they want t

If it's any consolation that's one of the things that's bothered me about Slashdot from the beginning- it often takes awhile for one's submitted article to be rejected or occasionally approved for the main page, but it seems like the moderators or admins don't actually research the summary before posting it.
