I am from Amarillo, and frequently travel to Dallas and Houston areas, and I can vouch for this. 100mph is common on interstates, especially inside the major cities.
Must create a lot of work for the tweezer and baggie crews when it comes to cleaning up after.
I remember when traffic going through Detroit, the normal flow inside the city was about 90, cars didn't have ABS or airbags then.
and a 79mph in a 55mph zone nets you a ticket of...about $70. Been there, done that, paid the ticket. Would have been far more expensive in Oregon (again, done that...)
$70 ticket, but when your insurance company gets wind of it... bit more, I s'pect
Almost all of us have done it. I'm certainly no fan of Apple but this appears to be making something out of a routine event.
The CCP is more than happy to ensure Apple has an ample supply of phones, too, meaning Apple should find great happiness and luck with Chinese workers!
Somehow I didn't feel I was compeled by the government to work for my employers while I was in college... how times change!
//never actually worked in the food service industry///maybe a small regret in my life
Sure, but 'Internship' doesn't necessarily mean they get pay, they just get credit. In college I was paid for my programming efforts (also got to use a little of it for credit:)
... and on my résumé, you can see I majored in slave labor...
I've changed, too. I'm applying for a patent on Unpredictable Weasel with my chaotic buying habits. I'm certain to cause a divide by 0 at some point in their algorithm. You'll know it happens when their main site goes down.
when they find out I don't belong to any social networks. I'd rather be unknown with no social life than some $$$$$$$$$$$$$ generating product number for some corporation.
So your prices will start at the high end of the spectrum...
If you can directly invest all of your life's earnings into a retirement account
AFAIK you cannot do that. There are contribution limits. For a Roth IRA, its $5000 a year I believe. For a 401k, google tells me its $17k. Theres no loophole, and if there wasnt a limit that wouldnt be a loophole either. Theyre pretty intentional about the language that goes into legislation; if its tax-legal and the IRS hasnt cried foul, then its not a foul.
You MIGHT have a point if you mentioned tax havens.
From what I've read, Romney put $5000/yr into his 401k, but left the majority of his wealth in the company, thus obtaining fantastic annual return on his 401k investment. At some point pulling it out and shifting it to his blind trust, however that is managed. Made buckets of money and won't pay hardly anything in taxes on it.
Romney lived in Massachusetts. Why are his returns in Tennessee? How did the hackers know where in the office to look? How did the hackers know who his accountant is? Why is a big 4 accounting firm doing tax returns for one person?
I call bogus.
Perhaps the division of PWC in Tennessee is more accustomed to larger tax returns? Multinationals set up shop where it suits them.
As to the rest, it smells like an inside job and that's likely where the Secret Service is looking, who worked there and knew which closet held the skeletons.
While they were there, I wonder what else the burglars may have copied.
Except there was no electronic vault. As the summary quite clearly states, someone broke/snuck into the building and made copies. I'm not even sure where the term "hacker" comes in here... maybe just because they want to be paid in bitcoins?
"Romney’s 1040 tax returns were taken from the PWC office 8/25/2012 by gaining access to the third floor via a gentleman working on the 3rd floor of the building. Once on the 3rd floor, the team moved down the stairs to the 2nd floor and setup shop in an empty office room. During the night, suite 260 was entered, and all available 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied. A package was sent to the PWC on suite 260 with a flash drive containing a copy of the 1040 files, plus copies were sent to the Democratic office in the county and copies were sent to the GOP office in the county at the beginning of the week also containing flash drives with copies of Romney’s tax returns before 2010. A scanned signature image for Mitt Romney from the 1040 forms were scanned and included with the packages, taken from earlier 1040 tax forms gathered and stored on the flash drives."
I get a big kick out of people who have big heavy doors, stout locks and alarm systems on doors and windows, but you lift a fibre ceiling tile and can climb in through there. It was discovered as the means to several dorm burglaries before my time in college. Some chicken wire fence was put up there, as if that would stop anyone and that's all that existed between a thief with a rope to climb and my stuff. Alas, it's about the same where I work. Big lock on big doors, but you could go through the ceiling no trouble at all.
Have you looked in the trash? People throw out perfectly fine furniture all the time. I picked up an extremely sturdy carpenter-built bookcase in the trash. It didn't have shelves but I found enough particle board to make shelves.
If your trash heap doesn't have what you need, have you considered Goodwill stores? I'm frequently amazed what I find in them. Money goes to good cause, as well.
I get a sore back from standing in once place for extended periods of time. I can walk for 8 hours, without a problem, but stand for 30 minutes and I'm going to have to sit down gently because my back is yelling at me.
Sharp makes amazing screens why are they in trouble? What did I miss?
Just because you make a fantistic bunch of hardware doesn't mean you can't have a load of bozos running around the board room with seltzer bottles in one hand and balloons in the other. Remember how bad Commodore was at marketing the Amiga? Ready... FIRE! Aim...
or they did and apple realized their PR lately been pretty bad with whole Samsung trail which as each day comes is showing how bad the jury messed that up. Apple gonna say what ever is in their best interest as if they gave all that info to the FBI it would be a major privacy issue since its pretty much tracking millions and millions of people.
More like Apple doesn't care about their PR, but they do insist they didn't cooperate with the FBI, the FBI insists Apple didn't cooperate with them and it's all possibly true or possibly false. If any of the released stuff actually works, it'll put the lie to both of them, which is as embarassing as it is funny.
Anonymous claims to be a bunch people with like aims and no leadership. So this may be just some person who happened to get hold of the info and published it claiming to be Anonymous or Anti-sec or whomever. The claim that the data came from the FBI is unsupported - proof would be some additional data from the same system such as logs, etc. which have not been produced.
My personal guess is that the most likely source is some social networking site and the guy is saying it's the FBI as some sort of disinformation. It's possible but unlikely that both Apple and the FBI are outright lying about the source. There are all sorts of other possibilities.
I wonder who it is who claims to have Mitt's tax returns. The extortion attempt is out of character for the usual gang of kiddies.
Biggest problem I have with government is it spends whatever it likes, regardless how much I pay in taxes. Watching it go from $1 trillion debt in 1980 to $16 trillion these days, tells me the act of collecting taxes is largely done to pay interest on the debt, nothing more.

Just wrap a towel around your eyes and drive.
just don't try Bistromathics in Texas, they carry guns into diners which throws the entire equation out of whack

It's in texas.
So. There's that.
It's Darwinism in action, but don't expect them to put that in the school books.
Based on which measurement?
Quite. Quite.
I'm more excited by the Kindle Fire HD than I am by any phone from Apple. Phones are for me bugging other people, not for them bugging me.

Google, you've changed.
They have? You know something we don't?
I've changed, too. I'm applying for a patent on Unpredictable Weasel with my chaotic buying habits. I'm certain to cause a divide by 0 at some point in their algorithm. You'll know it happens when their main site goes down.
Why not use a wooden or metal box?
I'm still using furniture skills learned in college. Cinder blocks and pine planks and build you some decent furniture for very little cost.
when they find out I don't belong to any social networks. I'd rather be unknown with no social life than some $$$$$$$$$$$$$ generating product number for some corporation.
So your prices will start at the high end of the spectrum...
But I have a tendency to put stuff in a cart and not buy it right away.
I wonder if that works in my favor?
I'm their worst nightmare, I only buy when I can afford to, not when I feel like getting a credit card and buying stuff I can't afford.

A better option would have been to avoid publishing misleading ads...
Like it being PureView, which is only in the 808.

Report of Romney tax records on the loose
Got it. Everybody denies everything. Any chance of this being subjected to any form of toothful scrutiny?
It's about time to get that ol' Foobie Bletch scroll out and see what it says on it.
