One can wind twine around wooden pegs in a way to "program" the movements. For example, reversing the winding direction on a spool can make a doll head turn the other way, and by controlling the wind counts per peg "lane", it can syncopate to a tune. It's speculated this kind of technology is how ancient Greeks did it. It takes more work to "re-set" than gears, but good enough for a show to the big wigs.
How about drivers being the electron. Shrinking beyond 1 Meter means the driver is bigger than the car. So, to get smaller cars, you have to put wheels on the drivers' asses...
The Sequester was mostly a result of the GOP's pressure of not approving debt ceiling increases (which are mostly related to loss of revenue due to the recession, not additional spending.) And I was representing opinions there, not activities.
During many crashes, the surface of the drive, which holds the "bits", becomes dust. If you can find a way to put dust back together, you'll be a jillionare.
Quick version: IRS didn't want to (or was pressured to) not spend 10 million on a REAL archive system, so used users' desktop harddrives for that purpose instead, which is of course risky.
As I mentioned elsewhere, I do not believe their agency is required to keep emails that far back. However, if they know of storage of potentially related old emails, they are probably obligated to disclose of them. Thus, anything beyond the required time-frame is a "bonus" essentially; however, that does not mean this bonus repository is an easy repository to access/find/restore etc.
Hold on, Tex, why assume malice over stupidity without clear evidence? Guilty until proven innocent? What special inside knowledge do you have? Slashdotters are supposed to pride themselves in careful analysis and rational, carefully stated steps toward conclusions. Calling it "bullshit" on a gut feeling alone is not the spirit of STEM. That's for muggles.
By the way, I've yet to find evidence they are even required to keep emails for 4 years or more. Maybe it's not even a requirement, and any older emails are simply a bonus (required to be declared if known about).
And sometimes they bust you for what your may feel is an unreasonable request for records. Life is not always fair: big and small entities all get slapped unfairly sometimes throughout the course of things. That's life. A busts B, B busts C, and C busts A at times.
Sorry, no proof of favoritism. Anyhow, it may be difficult to objectively measure "fairly". If one is reading the documents or questionnaires presented by the non-profit- or non-tax-status applicants, what wording or item stands out as "suggesting further investigation" may be subconsciously tainted by political leaning.
Further, what if you get tips from senators etc. about suspicious behavior to be further investigated, such as conferences not reported or conferences different from the applicant's stated category? Should that be ignored in order to be "partial", or is one obligated to follow up on ALL leads, even possibly biased ones?
If I hated my brother, for example, I may be more likely to report certain behaviors of his to the police, even accurate ones. Yes, I would be biased against my brother, but that's not a reason for the police or inspectors to ignore tips of possible wrong-doing.
Biased tips on oddities are still tips, from our own brains or others'.

Michele Bachmann is working on the Straight Bomb to counter it, and to drop on Frisco.
Rifling caused soot to build up faster. Other innovations were needed to make it practical in the field.

Yes, it runs Minux
Well, that would seem like a fish out of water.
Conservatives in 2009: "Cut the bloated government, cut cut cut and starve the beast!"
Conservatives in 2014: "Why didn't they buy a better archiving system! FIRE the incompetent commies!"
The "H" word comes to mind.
Sorry for the language, but you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. You are guessing out of your ass based on fragments of info.
Idiot!

By the time the probe gets to Pluto, it will be "Old Horizons". Hmmm, was there ever a New Yeller?
