It's a bad check. Either way, the sender isn't actually out any money other than postage. The recipient either cashes the check for $30,000 and sends back $25,000, then finds themselves $30,000 in debt to their bank or they keep the whole $30,000 and still finds themselves in debt to their bank for $30,000 - but in a much better position to pay it all back, if they haven't blown it all already.
The Series 7 weighs half a pound more and is.25" thicker than the MBP we're talking about. It also does not have a retina display, 2 Thunderbolt ports, or 256GB of SSD for primary storage.
The Series 7 is $1,000 less and has about 45 minutes more battery life, a DVD-RW, a mini-HDMI port (in addition to the HDMI port), an additional USB port, and an Ethernet port.
Most importantly to me, if there's a hardware issue, I can't simply walk in to my local Apple Store, put it on the counter, and say "fix it."
What was the point you were trying to make, again?
Searching for her name in the bar association's records returns no hits; I'm inclined to believe that she's not even a lawyer, but had a few law classes and thinks that's more than enough. Most likely, she's a lawyer's trophy wife.
Take it to your local IRS office, and ask them to assist you.
Seriously.
They are required, by law, to assist any taxpayer who asks for it - up to, and including, filling out all forms and checking them for accuracy (given you've brought in all the documents required). They cannot charge you for this service, and they are trained, every year, in what has changed in the tax code and what they should be looking out for.
What it is about PHP is that the barrier to entry is negligible. With ASP.NET, there is a perception that the platform requires several expensive components just to meddle with it and learn. With PHP, you can throw Apache/MySQL/PHP on any windows or linux box - there's even livecd LAMP distros - and whip up your first PHP-based database-driven website in a matter of minutes.
Mine has a barcode and a magstrip. That's not very helpful.
On the front, it says "Texas Commercial Driver License USA TX" and some numbers and such. There's a photo of a rather handsome guy, too.
Here's the thing, really. Driving on PUBLIC ROADS is a privilege. As a society, we have agreed (by not rioting, burning, torching, looting, etc) that each State can regulate (through statutory law) transportation on public roads. Additionally, there is a Federal Department of Transportation, who can also make rules concerning travel between the states, for the purpose of commerce - aka, Commercial Driving. One subset of the US DOT that handles some of this is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The FMCSA makes the rules concerning Hours of Service and what constitutes the Federal definition of Driving Under the Influence. They also regulate what equipment is required on a truck for it to legally drive on Federally-funded roads, like the Interstate highway system and US highways, also known as the "national network".
But, the basic point of the statement - that driving is a right - is true, given that you are driving on private property and you have permission from the landowner to do so. I used to drive, at the age of 12, all over the parks around a lake in E. Texas, as they were privately owned, and I had permission. Lake Patrol got a kick out of it, and would keep an eye on me, but left me alone - and they were well aware that I was a minor and didn't have a license or a learner's permit. It was great practice.:D As for driving on public roads, however, it is a privilege.
As far as judges "making laws" goes - it is the court's job to interpret the Constitution and the law of the land. If someone brings a suit to court against a State for a law they believe is un-Constitutional, and the court rules that the law is, in fact, Constitutional, then it is, by fiat. That's how it works. You can pretend that those judges are not empowered as such, but in reality, that's their job. Likewise, if they rule that a law is un-Constitutional, even if that law is a literal Act of Congress - the law is stricken. It takes a Constitutional Amendment to put such a law into effect; this is why the Defense of Marriage Act has lost traction and is now being considered as an Amendment. Discrimination is un-Constitutional, unless, of course, it becomes part of the Constitution.
I'd go into a closed-door meeting with management and say "I've been offered a position at another company making 7k more and with a much shorter commute, but I like working here. What can you offer me?" If they aren't willing to play ball, give notice. At that point, they may try to make an offer - unless it's even more than the 7k, don't accept; they'll always be looking to replace you. If they make you a reasonable offer, take it and enjoy your new old job.
Yeah, those dirty diabetics were cursed by God anyways, so they don't count, right? Or they're in unhealthy relationships. Or both. Goddamned dysfunctional diabetics. Fucking junkies.
I have a shirt that says "Undercover Cop" on it. One day, I threw it on without thinking and didn't realize the interesting situations I was setting myself up for, as that day I was 1) flying between two domestic airports with a layover at a third, and 2) crossing an international border. Fortunately, much amusement was had by all, including the pilot of the first plane, who stopped me upon boarding to ask, "So... are you an undercover cop?" I replied, "Would you believe me if I said I wasn't?" He laughed, then said, "Seriously - do you have any weapons on you or are trained in CPR? I need to know." I said "No, and yes." He thanked me and told me to enjoy the flight. Border patrol just chuckled, but that day could have been so much worse - just because of a wardrobe miscalculation...
It's one of my favorite books - I enjoyed the idea of alternate universes extending into other universes as works of fiction - or vice versa, as you will. It was great fun for me to recognize characters from other books and genres as the party ran into them along the way.
Of course, I'm currently reading Zelazny's Amber books, and wondering who ripped off who...
$20 gets me a dinner buffet at one of the best sushi joints in town - and it's real fish, thankyewverymuch. This guys is overinflating his prices or wastes his money on nice napkins and funky lighting.
I do this already - I have a "Friends & Family" group that is my default posting level - there's about 20 people in there. Then there's my "Friends" - roughly 100. Then there's Facebook's "Friends of Friends" and "Everyone" levels of access, which I rarely use unless I'm standing on a soapbox.
It was hard to explain to my boss the other day, who I'm very friendly with, why he wasn't seeing me post very often... but hey.
The wired Razer mice that use a laser sensor (Lachesis, etc) track on damn near anything, including earth. I have used a Copperhead for gaming while seated on a couch, using the cushion next to me as my mousing surface, for hours. Being a wired mouse, there's no issue with charging it, and it's a 6 ft cable. I also have the sensitivity cranked all the way up on my mice, so even the DeathAdder I use here at work traverses a total of 2 inches across my desk to move the point from the right edge of my right monitor to the left edge of my left monitor on a dual-monitor setup (on polished wood, no mouse pad or whatnot.)
I am interested in checking out the Magic Trackpad, but I don't see where I'll have any use for it at work; I'm almost certain I won't be able to use it at home, where my machine is usually running EvE or BF:BC2, lately. Although pinch-zoom for sniping might be neat...
No need for government regulation. The company will get hit with the downtime that will bankrupt them, and the next company won't run at quite as low of a margin. In the meantime, the C-levels and Board of Directors is arrested and prosecuted for any violations of local, state, and federal laws by the corporation. This act alone would reign in 90% of the abuses in the USA... but all too often, "the decision was made at Corporate", and in the end, no one is responsible.
...except that local and state governments are forbidden by federal law to enforce ordinances restricting the construction or use of licensed radio equipment, including antennas, by lawfully operating licensed operators.
If it weren't for amateur radio, a lot of the technology you take for granted wouldn't exist, including your cellphone. Seriously, man, get a grip.

In that event, lead and gunpower will be worth more than gold and silver, frankly.

No, it's not software. Sorry.

So are hollow-point bullets. Doesn't stop them from being used against civilians in your /own/ country, just civilians in someone /else's/ country.

Thanks for the reference, that was one of the best biographical pieces I've seen - with two of my favorite actors.
