i worked for an DoD agency 13 years ago for a year. We had a main NT domain with a child domain for each of the 6 regional offices
the admin in one of the offices refused to set up a trust between his domain and the main domain. for some reason no one could make him do it. i bet same here. some of the admins in the smaller offices are refusing to go along with this
nope, they had magnetic compasses 300 years ago and scientists looked at ships' logs and their measurements of magnetic north to figure out the poles are shifting. not only that, they are supposed to flip in the next few decades. north will become south and vice versa. it has happened lots of times in earth's history
i first read about this a decade ago and it has been happening for hundreds of years. scientists are studying ships' logs from the 1700's and earlier and this process started 300 years ago.
they won't sell you another care pack after 5 years of life?
we have HP servers that we buy care packs for after they come off warranty sometimes a year or two off warranty. the care packs are just 1 or 2 years at a time since they price them out every year depending on the failure rates
for us peons that have to finance our cars a dealership is a place to
look at the car, sit inside, play with the buttons,
take a test drive get a loan at better rates than most banks to finance the car. no bank other than the manufacturer's finance companies offers 0%,.9% or 1.9% for 5 years.
if smart people go to best buy to check out TV's then you have to be a moron to buy an $80,000 car just by visiting a web site to check the specs and pictures
chances are these people went to school together or have friends in common and see each other at holidays or common functions
i've known officers in the army who trained each other in west point and ended up in the same unit or assuming command of a unit from a former upper classman
i don't think its the buying of the seeds that got the farmer sued
when he signed with monsanto to buy most of his seeds and roundup he signed an agreement. in this case he bought some seeds outside of monsanto and either bought more roundup or used what he had. probably the former. at some point monsanto probably did an audit and found him buying more roundup than normal for his farm size and caught him.
you can buy all the monsanto seeds you want. just dont use roundup on them if you buy them from someone other than monsanto. find your own solution to kill weeds and insects that eat soybeans
the original premise behind private equity was to buy a down on its luck company, fix its problems and get it profitable again. then sell it and pocket the profit on the real effort you did.
today's version is to buy up a company with low debt and strong cash flow, saddle with debt, take the cash and run. management and shareholders like it as well since they get paid too
iPhone 5 and galaxy s4 both cost over $200 to build Add in the design, selling and lots of other costs and $650 is a fair price. Apple has gross margins of 38%. Samsung is about the same. Nothing in the greedy range.
After lots of other corporate expenses the net profits are in the 10% range for both companies.
one of them was found dead on April 27 in the Dominican Repblic eight have already been arrested
turns out the geniuses went shopping for rolexes and luxury cars with the cash cash has serial numbers. everything is video taped. it was only a matter of time before the cops tracked them down

i can ask Siri how the Mets did last night, not that i need to
it will answer that they lost and the score. anything more i have to open an app
