I've heard of 1st world problems, I think this qualifies as a zero world problem, or maybe a -1. Off-topic: is there a mathematical way of officially determining the various "worlds," or is it an opinion thing?

[url]http://now.msn.com/dmitry-agarkov-outwits-russian-bank-by-writing-own-credit-card-terms[/url][QUOTE]Unhappy with the terms of an unsolicited credit card offer he received from online bank Tinkoff Credit Systems, Agarkov scanned the document, wrote in his own terms and sent it through. The bank approved the contract without reading the amended fine print, unwittingly agreeing to a 0 percent interest rate, unlimited credit and no fees, as well as a stipulation that the bank pay steep fines for changing or canceling the contract.[/QUOTE]

The Russian media had that news (and its followups) for about a week now. The [URL="http://lenta.ru/news/2013/08/09/tcs/"]latest development[/URL] was that D.A. was determined to leave the country (!) because "he was afraid for his life and freedom" (it is probably also a set up for suing TKC for more damages, as well as for libel. The latter is based on poorly thought-through bullying twitting remarks by none other than Tinkov: "Instead of 24M roubles, he is going to get four years in prison").

Some other opinions were that this is an unconventional flashmob action by the bank itself. (i.e. "The more publicity, the more people remember the brand." No matter what kind of publicity.) This so called "black piar" (PR) is common in Russia.

Surprise! Demand tracks down Supply, and calling attention to the situation with court rulings stimulates downloading.

Also, Pirate Bay launches their own browser package to help dodge blockades. :chappy:

Which NFL team has played in the most games that ended with a 2-0 score? (That team is also the one that has lost the most 2-0 games, though it didn't lose them all.)

You can learn all that and more about the American football scoring play known as the "safety" (unrelated AFAIK to the defensive player position known as "safety") in this article:
