Yep. To quote the article: "When people frantically begin shredding sensitive documents and deleting computer files and smashing flash drives and chasing garbage trucks at 2 a.m.... it is not because they have been operating legitimately," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
Ahhh the old "if you are innocent, then you shouldn't have a right to privacy" argument. Obviously I disagree. I'd destroy my hard drive too if I got word the government was coming. They don't need to know that I donated to wikileaks and other projects.
Well, they would probably be REALLY suspicious of what we do out at my place. My shooting range is littered with hard drives that have been blown to bits by various firearms. Laptop drives, 3.5" desktop drives, old 5" RLL & MFM drives. I even have some old 12" disk packs out there from a previous employer that told me to "get rid of" the old things.
Your older Galaxies had more limited trim packages and slightly smaller engines. After 1969 the engines became larger overall and were available in a wider array of trim.
The two-door convertible with a 400 cu. inch engine would be my choice.
I've always thought there would be NO WAY the gasoline-powered automobile would be approved today if we didn't already have it.
"You mean to tell me you're going to let ANYONE speed around in a huge metal contraption with 10 to 20 gallons of a highly flammable, highly volatile liquid with only a minimum of training?"
In film, marketing is (usually) a small-ish percentage of overall cost. Even films with large marketing costs have even larger production budgets.
Actually, marketing can cost considerably more than production.
Back in my youth I interned for a fairly unknown assistant movie director for a semester. The company he worked for could make a half-decent little movie for a couple hundred thousand to a million, but then had to come up with three to ten times that much for marketing and distribution if they wanted to see a profit. This was in the 80's, so I imagine marketing costs have skyrocketed along with production costs.
there are plenty of young people who believe that DRM is necessary and who are willing to prosecute file sharers and push to keep old media models alive by any means
Corrected: there are plenty of young lawyers who believe that DRM is profitable and who are willing to prosecute file sharers and push to get easy money by any means
And if those who are hiding vast amounts of money from the tax man paid their fair share on it, the majority would pay less for a lot better civilization.
I make good money, I pay my fair share of all my taxes, around 45% for all federal, state and local taxes together after all legal deductions. Then I hope the roads are paved, the youth gets a good education, the truly needy get the help they need and the fire dept shows up quickly if necessary. If that looks like it's happening, then I'm happy and I don't complain about my taxes too much.
It ticks me off when people who make gobs more than I do pay a FAR lower percentage than I do.
Hey, I've seen all those movies where they just throw a big bundle of the latest issues off the back of a truck as they pass by the newsstand. Even with a protective case that's gotta be harsh on the iPad.
I think MS might not "officially" be thrilled the Kinect is being used for virtual sex, I'm sure they are quite happy that millions more units will be sold because of it.
MS only gave the Kin about 6 weeks on the market before pulling the plug. WTF? It was actually a pretty good idea and properly pushed and priced it could have taken over the high-school phone market.
I liked the form factor as well. I wouldn't mind having a phone with that form factor, minus all the social-networking gew-gaws.

See: Devillier Donegan Enterprises.
An American company that saved the original Monty Python tapes from being wiped, IIRC.
Because they are members of the camel family. And you don't want their toes to get cold.

Then the internet really WILL become nothing but cat pictures and porn!

Should NOT be confused with an Impala.
I hope that helps.

"Yes, that's right."

"Correct."
"Take this loony away!"

I KNEW I should have stayed a finance major. I thought the money would be in programming...damn.
Nice patent portfolio you got there. Sure would be a shame if anything were to happen to you because of it.
The Lord IS a rotten bastard!

Exactly. First thing I tried to find out is where this plant was located.
Everyone in the article comments complained about the same thing. Good journalism is dying.
THIS is a boat.
If I had Larry Page's stupid amount of money, I'd get a real ship. Plus, you can make money with it if the GOOG stock tanks.
Or just load it up with 1400 hot chicks and sail around the world.
And of course, there's always THIS boat
Where can I buy just the first song off Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" album?

Hey, they heard that taking candy from babies was easy. Everyone likes easy.
Ist das nicht ein good business model?
I mean, what could a large tech company want with a huge data center?
The mind just boggles at the thought of a huge company that has and uses an enormous amount of data actually wanting a place for it.
Next you'll tell me that Microsoft has huge data centers.
I'm cured by just reading about these amazing placebos!

For sure, but then only "terrorists" would want one.
A good excuse for the government to put a secret tracking device in all "untrackable" phones.

Seven years old when I found my first "Penthouse".
I was irreparably damaged, became a drug addict and axe murderer. I was executed in 1987.
No wait. I had a healthy childhood, went to college, and I'm now a married homeowner in the 32% tax bracket.
