A work of fiction - any similarity between this story and actual events is only dreamed of by the masses, and wishfull thinking on others.
In a confusing and somewhat dumbfounding move today, the RIAA has started multiple criminal law-suits involving every known manufacturer of audio cd's.
Spokespersons of the:Fictional:RIAA were quoted as saying "We've had so much luck suing everyone that had a hand in the potential copying / pirating of music, that we've decided to take it to the digital source." "I mean, come on, we all know that if it wasn't for the cd manufacturers, no-one would have a pure digital source to copy from." "We'd all be relegated to using fuzzy / hissy sources such as tape, or poppy sources like vinyl." "It all comes down to this, we're in this for the money, not to protect anyone's interests, and we see these companies as being the largest possible sources of income."
In a late breaking associated story, the Record Industry itself has filed a class-action FICTIONAL:countersuit against the FICTIONAL:RIAA claiming breach of contract, conflict of interests and just down-right money grubbing, mangie-dogged meanness. A spokesperson for the lawyers retained for this FICTIONAL:countersuit had this to say "If we'd have known what these, and I use the term loosely, people were going to o, we'd have never joined the RIAA in the first place. We should have known, from other things that happened, that I won't mention here, that they were up to no good."
Heh - I used to set off car alarms during competitions - with my windows up, trunk closed, and bass turned down - usually at up to about 4 cars away would trip. Only when I was outside the vehicle and only during competitions using my remote. I still have 'tinitis' (?sp?) ringing in my ears from my early days.
Take any speaker, hold the magnet against a surface and play music through it - the surface conducts the sound as well. Solids are a better sound conductor than air. Get enough mass moving, and voila - instant larger speaker.
This is an article about the Profile 3 - as in 3rd Generation Profile - if anything, the iMac is a clone of the Profile.
The Profile II and III were both LCD screen based. I also got to see several of the in between design versions, as my cousin worked on the design team.

Or if you need to have you're vehicle towed because it's broken down?
Or you happen to be pulling / trailering a sport-about behind your RV and driving cross-country on vacation?
Of your vehicle gets stolen, driven a ton of miles, you get the vehicle back (if you're that lucky) after it has been found in New York.
In any of these cases, you get waylaid with a tax for miles you didn't drive.
Bah - abolish all lawyers and law-makers, fastest draw wins.
Answer that? I bring in a rig from out of state, load up the vehicle on the trailer, move it across the state, then fill up on gas.
Not likely, not driven, but still TAXed for having "moved" several hundred miles.
