I would imagine they'd care because if the company goes out of business, then the State may inherit an expensive cleanup operation. The other thing with speculation is that there are winners, but mostly losers. The losers tend to end up in piles by the sides of the road, because it's too expensive to properly dispose of them. What we need is a way to ensure more winners! I propose that old, hard-to-dispose-of junk be made available tax-free. B-)
I have many happy memories of Proops on Tottenham Court Road: gear trains, dental equipment, funky electronic displays---different every visit. The other stores on that street often had weird or broken hi-fi equipment that you could ask about, and I often had a hard time lugging stuff back on the Underground after spending my accumulated lawn money!
Are you kidding!? Negative 22x faster means it will produce the image before you asked for it! Please excuse me while I go and render the current NYSE prices....
From time to time I get a handful of IP addresses blocked by my Wordpress' firewall within a few seconds. The whois data often lists "Tor exit node". Why do they bother to try so hard? Beats me....
All it needs is a TrackPoint instead of a touch pad/screen and I'll have found my next laptop. A matte screen would be nice-to-have. Lenovo machines are not going in the right direction....
Here are a couple of bodges from when I was back in school (i.e., over 25 years ago). Sadly, these projects would be more difficult for me today.
TV remote: Before TVs came with a remote control, I wired a long cable to my computer's joystick. Feedback came through speech synthesis (the TV was busy), and when I pressed the button, a servo would select the channel I wanted.
Coin relief map: I wanted to digitize the relief (imprint) on the surface of a coin. I used a pin in a capillary tube with two coils of fine wire to make a variable core transformer to measure z-height. The x-y stage was Lego Technics, with PWM controlled motors (running on an ARM2 in interrupt space). It worked far better than it ought to have.
Normally a technician plugs a test machine into the car's OBD port. The testing machine then asks the ECU to send its emissions data so that they can be compared to the actual emissions. Then a spy satellite operated from Wolfsburg HQ detects the uplink from the vehicle, and deploys nanobots via underground tunnels to clean the emissions.
One of the sentences above is not true, but would make a cool movie.
Recently I looked over my account information at the car dealership I bought my auto from 7 years ago. They had a completely made-up email address for me. I asked a sales guy about this, and he said they got a $15 bonus for every email address they entered. Hmm.
If you stop watering trees in California, the trees die. We had an orchard near where I work, when they stopped the irrigation, half the trees dried up in the first year. (They're developing the lot, so there was no hope for the orchard anyway. But it was still sad.)
I have the problem that I would have to train three unwilling people to use another system---it took long enough to teach them the 360! (And the Xbox will use wake on LAN to bring up WMC when it's off.)

Hopefully the OP will have been doing regular IMAP offline-syncs with the mail server; on several machines.
What surprises me most about this miserable waste of skin is that she's from supposed progressive California.
Californians realized years ago that the best way to get her out of state is to send her to D.C., where she can't do anything to mess things up.*
* Should append: "worse".
Haven't you seen the documentary that discusses this at length (or at least a few setup scenes)? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01... B-)

Don't forget ESC (now on S. 7th St.): http://www.excesssolutions.com... Their warehouse is much better than the web site.

One big benefit is that it's not classified as a "firearm" by the various US governments.

I once hacked a rock to keep paper from moving around. It never worked well as landscaping again.
Prepare for a custardy battle!
My car has more computers in it than wheels, doors and cylinders combined.
Well, now you've got the chance to bid, and show them all!

Personally, I am a bit disappointed that the reward wasn't 256k.
AT&T's rewards are on the "unlimited dollar" plan, and it got throttled.
I second the Sony Vegas suites, and add Quickbooks (which is bizarrely feeble under Wine, even though it's a "simple" application).

Systemd has subsumed Windows 10 already? Next thing we know it'll be running PulseAudio and kdbus.
I think—in the context of the m-dash issue—that you're doing it wrong.

How do I install it so that I can play content from my Windows machine on the Xbox 360? WMC does that quite well.
