Wow, you may be just the guy to answer a question I have.
My truck has a history of hard starting when the temperature drops below about 50F and it hasn't been started in a day or so. It turns over briskly, so not a battery issue. I always hesitate for several seconds on a cold start to give the fuel pump time to pressurize.
A recent google search led me to try using a hair dryer to warm the ECU for a couple of minutes. I didn't believe it until I tried it...three times now...wouldn't start, break out the hair dryer for a few minutes and it starts right up. My guess is I need a new ECU.

Which ECU? The least I saw in the oldest model I worked on have a dozen or more of them - new cars exceed 70. Did you know that the eben the tow bar has one? I didn't.
You probably have to replace that ECU but take a look where it is placed to check the presence of moisture - that could very well change the impedance on some ground connections, causing all kinds of inconveniences. Is it a common problem of that model or just yours?
Temperature and humidity severely impacts on electronic hardware.

Apparently Microsoft now has IconOps

All of the really bad puns aside, It is the SALES to CUSTOMERS that pay the bills. Including your salary. You should really be complaining about the clown that came up with the whole "Ops" naming scheme.
Never complain about the guy bring the money in.

I would put it to His Honour that those requiring Mr. Prick's services are probably no more capable of differentiating between a potted plant and a fashion crime than they are of differentiating between their arses and their elbows and respectfully suggest upon that basis that he find for the plaintiff.

That is pretty much what the judge says in para 77.

I read the whole bloody thing and near the end I had to catch myself and think "am I seriously reading this".
So thank you. Temporary insanity and chronic procrastination loves company.

Not only that, but it's the High Court. Not some local magistrate, but the one-step-below-the-House-of-Lords-and-new-laws-needed court.
I have no idea how much that little lot cost.

It feels bad that this kind of thing is even allowed to be taken to court. Just a complete waste of time and money.

I think they are trying to make too fine a point in their submissions.
