    I legitimately wanted to know if there was any way for Mr Capone to have not been put away for tax evasion, that did not immediately give the feds all the info they needed to put him away for another reason.

    Of course. Funnel his ill-gotten gains through a bunch of legitimate businesses, i.e. money laundering.

    Second transaction = different contract. Entirely different thing to unilaterally changing the terms of an ongoing contract on DeVry.

    Sorry, I meant on the fly. I have no idea at all, not even a little bit, as to what caused your post to make me think of such a bunch of ignorant fucktards. Must be a coincidence.

  3. There are precious few Americans who need an SUV too, except as a defense against communist gays and death marriage panels.

    Well duh. If you run on rails you have two variables - which track you're on, and where you are along it.

    It's really not hard. I'll try to use short words.

    If it's limited, say so - and say what the limits are, and say it everywhere - advertising, contracts and so on.

    If it's limited, don't use the word unlimited anywhere - especially in advertising.

    a new flatter, sharper, and transparent design

    So you can't see anything, you can't find anything and you can't do anything, except by accident - and only if it's not what you wanted to do.

    But fuck all of that, it doesn't look cluttered because everything is within a plain glass squint of mid-grey. Yay! Chocamochackacockasuckalattes all round! WITH SPRINKLES!

    Are other phones like mine? I've got a low-end Samsung and the surface certainly looks nice and glossy but the slightest trace of moisture makes it like a bar of soap.

  19. I quite often hold mine at knee height, especially for taking photographs.

    Of, umm, insects and flowers and stuff. Yes, that's it.

  20. If even a tenth of the people being arrested were actually conspirators or even sympathisers, they'd have won. And the investigation is going incredibly quickly, isn't it?

    I'm detecting a distinct whiff of false flag around this. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a bit like Reichstag embers.

    If you're defense contractor it was a *brilliant* idea.

  24. In the UK, ministers have to be a member of the parliament too

    Not true. Several aristocrats (who would be ineligible as MPs due to being members of the HoL) have even served as PM, e.g. Lord Salisbury.

    More recently there have been a few appointments of union leaders and prominent people from outside The House.

    False dichotomy. Just because he doesn't have total control (yes, ultimately money talks loudest) doesn't mean he has no control. If the script is shite he should force a rewrite or sack the writer.
