I don't think it would be reasonable to believe that.
In this case it is probably irrelevant for almost everyone, in that the people ordering a Vita game are likely to have a Vita. However, I can see similar situations where it could be believable. Several years back I got an Amazon gift cert code for my birthday. Had absolutely no indication who it was from. Not even sure it said Happy Birthday on it. I didn't find out until a month later it was from my sister, who had presumably missed the part where it mentions to include "to" and "from" on the gift note.
Don't quote me on it but I believe the ONT can be placed either inside or outside the building, or in a garage etc. Depends on the particular house.
I can confirm that is generally correct for FIOS (so I can't imagine why it wouldn't be in Oz), since at my old house it was inside, my current one it is outside, and I've visited homes with it in the garage.
A friend of mine made an interesting point to me a few years ago, and caused me to switch from online versions to the local ones you install on your system. With the local versions, you get to keep the data files. The online versions tend to purge from year-to-year, or at least after a couple years. If you want to refer to an older return, be it because you are being audited, or just to help figure out something on this year's forms, you'll have everything (worksheets, forms, etc.) with the local version, assuming you back up the software and data files. Online, you probably just have a PDF of whatever finally got submitted to the IRS, and that's it.
So yeah, online versions work, but local ones give you more control.
Often times, if you can bring proof to court that you had the malfunction repaired (generally a receipt from a reputable mechanic saying they adjusted/replaced/whatever the relevant part) the ticket will be dismissed. For example, my sister was cited for having her windows tinted too dark (she bought the car, used, in WV, which is less stringent than VA, where she actually lived). She had the films removed, came to court, and the citation was dismissed. Of course this probably only works about once per car.
When I load up my SUV to the point where I can't see anything in the rear-view mirror, I purposely turnon my backup camera and use it as a means to look behind my car, while driving.
Is yours a non-OEM one? I know the only way to turn on my camera is to actually be in reverse at the time.
I have the same one. The printer itself works rather well, and I love the auto-duplexing. However, after installing the last firmware update, the web interface for configuring it has been horked beyond use for the most part (I can sometimes coax it into working "well enough"), and Samsung tells me downgrading is not possible. Luckily I haven't needed to reconfigure anything, so it continues to chug along, but I shudder to think if I ever need to change anything on it.
I am NOT impressed with the Ricoh we have in my office. It continually flashes this error about "Cannot install this software" on the display, and the technicians say there's no way to get rid of it. It jams frequently. The thing loves to beep loudly and frequently about EVERYTHING (and yes, it is in the cube behind me). It isn't bad, but it isn't what I'd consider "good" either.
(Full info: It is a Ricoh Aficio MP C5501. Yes, this is probably beyond the kind of thing the OP was looking for, but I'm mostly posting to give my feedback on the brand.)
All those who had to continue working were getting paid.
Well, that's partly right. Some were getting paid, most were getting IOUs (effectively) that will be paid off shortly now that shutdown is over. I don't think the question of those who were not working during this time getting back pay has been answered yet.
Is it just me, or does the new design severely lack contrast? We have a gray background, with gray boxes on top of them, and black text on that. The headers? Huge, but still just black on gray. Funny enough, I like our current green bars with white text on the headers of the boxes. Why? Contrast!
I hope the main page autorefresh has been removed (or an option to turn it off),
I'll probably make a post decrying some of the other stuff later, but your point here seems a good launching point for this. I too hope the auto refresh is gone. But beyond that, I really dislike the "about an hour ago" nonsense. I like that we get the actual times on/. instead of those estimates. And further to that, unless you do have some sort of auto refresh, they don't make much sense, because they become outdated quickly. Let's say I load a couple of stories in different tabs, read the first tab, close it, go off to do something else, then come back to that second tab an hour later. None of the times are correct! On the other hand, if it says a comment was posted at 16:45 EDT, well, that's not going to change no matter when you happened to load the page vs. read it.
Try these guys. Yeah, I know they explicitly mention Henrico on there, but my uncle who used to work for VDOT (and amusingly lives in Chesterfield co) told me you can contact them for anything of this nature, and they are supposed to see it gets routed to the right place. It's worth a shot...
I don't know the origins, but I'm pretty sure it refers to the act of turning on the blue/red/whatever lights above the car (lighting them up) to signal you to pull over.

... and find something useful for the Itanic to do
Um, this is McAfee we're talking about...
Please... I've heard they are adding it to the water supply now. Go to your tap to get a quick drink? Bam! DHMO.
That's because he didn't have an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.

They were "silver" sponsors last year. Just wait, I suspect they'll pitch in before the campaign is up.
In Virginia, you're "driving" if the keys are in the ignition, even if the engine is off.
Hrm... wonder how that works for push-button start cars. I have no ignition to put a key in...
(Not to say the law, if you are correct, isn't completely absurd, because it is.)
Please that "wrapper" was practically see-through. That game was asking for it!
Plus it hugged every curve. It was pretty much skin tight!
Ban the guys that are modding this up.
The editors?
But you're still getting the speeding ticket.

Purely devil's advocate... does that mean every time Windows boots it should have a pop-up saying "this OS is insecure"? :)
I have the Black & White, laser ML-2851MD

Do some states have only DMV owned inspections stations?
Yup. Maryland at least. I think D.C. too.

Occupants efficiently terminated. Drivetrain available for re-use.
You don't happen to work for Aperture Labs, do you?
You'd particularly think they would update it since he turned 66 2-ish weeks ago.

Also, has the issue with switching to another window when a page using Flash is opened been fixed? I doubt that.
No. :( Just checked.
Indeed.
