anything important should not be kept *solely* on PCs hard drive
FTFY. It doesn't hurt to have local copies of some things. It may even save your bacon if there are multiple backup tape failures after the server's drives fail.
"Computer Crash" happens, but as we say in IT, if it doesn't exist in three places, it doesn't exist.
I'm not sure what you mean. The HD failed. This happened. HDs have failed on me before.
GP means that unless backups/files are in several places (both digitally and geographically), they're just counting down to destruction. The IT people at the IRS should have known this... did know this, but were probably overruled by CEO style behavior from the top ("I need to store only one copy of all my emails in this pst archive on my desktop. Don't bother me about backing up my desktop"). Hopefully they got signatures about these exceptions to standard/legally required practices from management.
THAT being said, if they are claiming, again, that it was incompetence and not nefariousness, all I can say is, this is exactly WHY government cannot run anything competently. Further, because we cannot expect reasonable competency in government, the role of government needs to be severely limited.
Um, no. They are claiming standard IT processes. If your HD failed and was not recoverable, I don't think your company would keep it for 3 years in case it gets subpoenaed later.
Depends on what was on it, and what management said to do with the drive. If there was a chance they'd spend the thousands needed for data recovery in the future, the drive might be kept in a safe in a locked room with a security camera.
The other half of standard practices is data retention and backups. Good practices for those were not followed here by either Lerner or IRS IT staff.
By separating it into its component parts and putting those parts into bins. The electronics and platters are shredded with industrial shredders. Then the parts and shredded dust are sent to recycling centers which sell the materials to factory which turn the materials into soda cans, picnic tables, or more hard drives.
But, rather than nail the Cardinals, we should obviously nail the Braves.
That's good, because Cardinals' vows of chastity forbid them getting nailed.
Although if we're looking for offensive team mascots, the "fighting Irish" is a lot more offensive. Might as well change Notre Dame's mascot to the "drunken belligerent Scots".
One reason is for long-term retention of data. They might store case files for 20+ years before someone sees them again, at which point the detective working the case might not know what all of the acronyms mean. I mean, it was one thing for the 70s to use words like groovy or tubular in common vernacular, but today's kids are using acronyms up the wazoo. It's only natural that some with become popular and just as quickly fade into obscurity.
Reading old comics from the 60's, I caught on to most of the lingo slinging, but the word "Natch" confused me until just last year when I realized it was short for "naturally". And "hip" young characters like Johnny Storm or Spider-Man used to say "natch" a lot.

An average HS student has little chance of getting AP chemistry, physics, calculus, english, etc. Even AP gym if that were a thing. Average HS students are.. Average.
The Supreme Court has ALWAYS had to rely on the cooperation of the the other branches of government because they have no constitutional mandate to enforce their decisions. It is a clear part of the limitation of the powers of one of the branches of government.
And that's a good thing, considering they're installed for life. Give them enforcement powers, and they'd be kings.

Losing a solider is not a 'hard choice'.
Depends on the game you're playing. In original UFO/X-Com, I would sometimes fight a scout craft (the kind that's all one room inside) early in the game and all of the aliens would be in the ship. They would (intelligently) refuse to come out, and if I sent someone in, they would snap-shot him for an instant kill. So I made a hard choice to load up a rookie with a high-explosive charge set to 0 seconds, and ran him in next to the power source. As expected, the aliens killed him. But the explosive neutralized the threat. Score one for X-Com crack suicide squad! Unfortunately, the HE destroyed the power source so I didn't get the 50 Elerium-115.
Using an "exchange" would legitimize it as currency. Auctioning it treats it as property. Imagine the government was auctioning dollar bills seized in a drug raid, or tried trading seized sports cars for dollars on a currency exchange.
If you find someone who is telling a great and original story, that you know others you may meet will like to hear and value for it's genuine nature and honesty, would you interrupt them and start dictating how the story should go?
If I'm a unique immortal self-engineered being with no drive for conquest, reproduction, etc. why wouldn't I decide that I should direct the story? You're projecting humility on a being that may not fathom the concept.
Don't get any Marvel "The Essential Iron Man/Spider-Man/Avengers/etc". The art in these editions is reduced to black and white. Since you're more interested in the stories than the value of the books, buy used. If you like electronic reading, there are DVDs sold with omnibuses. Unfortunately the newer app versions of the ebooks cost the same or more than the paper versions.
Not only are they not questions, but they make perfect sense in China and Mongolia. There are tortoises that live within small oasic lakes within the Gobi Desert. And oysters and dog are both consumed as food in parts of China and Mongolia.
Those are question preliminaries. The tortoise one continues with: "lying on it's back, but you do nothing to help it. Why?" I'm not sure how the banquet one finishes, but I'll bet there are more unusual edibles, with a question about why the listener chooses one of them.

C'mon, really? They think their constituents want to be gouged more for "essentials"?

This must be where the IRS stored backups of emails.

In space, no one can smell your pee. "Why does the recycled water taste funny?"
a fantastic moustache, and is absolutely fearless in battle. Furthermore, his friend Obélisk does wear tights (or at least some kind of tightly fitting, blue and white striped half-body-tube thing), and I challenge you to find another super-hero that is as strong as him, as funny as him and who has as voracious an appetite as him
Volstagg might be a contender. But for strong and funny (with a cool mustache), I'd choose The Tick. http://youtube.com/watch?v=80D...
