Because you get tax credits based on your income level and healthcare situation. That's how the whole "government subsidizing the poor's healthcare" happens.

Are these auditors trustworthy?

They are the most trustworthy auditors the NSA, CIA, FBI, and the PTA could find.

I think it is just that OEMs have become dependent on the revenue stream...

They aren't dependent on it, they just don't want to leave a revenue stream untapped.

I suggest using a red magic marker for the eyes. It will give a warmer appearance to your audio listening activities.

Why ditch Windows when it's allegedly Lenovo that did the dirty work. If Lenovo shipped a laptop with Linux installed on it with a similar piece of malware, would you be saying ditch Linux too?

That's the awesome thing about saying something is stronger. Without qualifying that as what type of "strong" they are talking about, it can be anything! Tensile strength? Yield strength? Sheer strength? Ductility? Wear resistance? Corrosion resistance? It's all covered!

It counts against your minutes if you are on a pay-as-you-go non-unlimited plan. For unlimited pre-paid and postpaid plans, they are not counted for billing purposes.

no one should be in solitary for 37 years.

Everyone knows that solitary confinement is the quickest way out of prison. There are many documentary movies from Hollywood that prove it: Count of Monte Cristo, Shawshank Redemption, Felon, Escape Plan, Law Abiding Citizen,.... and those are just the ones I've seen recently.

If you're going to special education teachers, speech therapists, and OT/PT therapists, you're going to the wrong people. Those people may be able to help in a limited role, but a ABA therapists is more what you're looking for to work on all-the-above.

With a son with Aspergers, I would call around to ABA therapy centers and see if they have peer groups. It sounds like that is exactly what you are looking for. When my wife worked at a local center as an office admin, my son with Aspergers went as a "client", and my middle son went as a volunteer peer. Sometimes my son would be paired up with another individual on the spectrum, other times a volunteer. It all depended on what aspect of communication they were going to work on.

The trick is that you give her an answer but not an answer to specifically her question, and then shift it to a different conversation. For instance:

Wife: Honey, do I look ok in this dress?
Husband: Babe, you look great in everything but even better out of it.

If you follow it up with trying to get her out of it, and do it enough times, eventually she'll start to ask you less. Or at least that is what I hope will someday happen with my wife.

I don't know about cleaner sound, but if you use a red sharpie the sound will be warmer.

I can't seem to find it now, but I remember seeing a product review I think on Amazon that was exclaiming how awesome some ridiculously priced optical cable was for a audio system because the fiber optic cable had a red tint to it imparting a warmer sound for the listener.

I think the SMTP protocol is relatively fine. I'd love to see some semblance of standardization for HTML layout in email messages. I understand how and why we are where we are today, but it's ridiculous how many hoops you have to jump through just to get a decent email to render correctly across all major email platforms.

(Bluetooth) dongles are widely available, just as software to read the data (Free, open and closed) for all major OS.

Dongles are cheap. The information they give you is fairly useless in diagnosing specific hardware faults, sensor codes, etc unless you have the factory proprietary software.

Want to modulate the ABS module to purge air and replace the brake fluid? Sorry.

Want to see which wheel is giving you the TPMS low pressure error even though they are all properly inflated? Sorry.

Want to see specifically why a code is being thrown that disengages the AWD? Sorry.

Well, sorry for me unless I get a Tech2 scanner maybe for $1500 used, or $4000 new off fleabay.

By the way, Band Aid is a genericised trademark (meaning they can't really sue you for using it, fallout from Johnson & Johnson vs. Geldof et. al which set precedent in that names that have fallen into everyday vernacular aren't really defensible

Do you have anything that supports that position?

Trademarks have always applied to a particular field. McDonalds Heating and Air Conditioning isn't going to cross over into McDonalds the fast food restaurant's turf and it's very unlikely the two would be confused for one another. Band-aids are often used generically, but the trademark hasn't been legally genericized like aspirin, heroin, or cellophane have.

It's in the same category as Kleenex, Xerox, and Popsicle that are still legally held trademarks and will be defended if someone in that field attempts to use that name, but get used in common culture as if they were generic.

Marketing demographic information most liklely. It doesn't say how accurate or what the source of that portion of the data is.

Like many companies, my company has various different methods that we obtain leads. We automatically run every lead through a service to obtain demographic information about the email address that can tell us household size, residence value, own or rent, income, education level, field of employment, interests, age, etc. All those go towards scoring the lead as it relates to our target market.

While a data breach is a data breach, if it's somewhat public information or otherwise readily available from any number of other sources it's not like the damage from having income information is catastrophic.
