They want to make Scandinavia the breadbasket of Europe.

Except when people drink a Big Gulp (TM) 44oz drink, they don't usually spill the drink everywhere including other people's mouths. Public smokers don't realize how disgusting they are, forcing their habit on others.

The will of the people is embraced.
The will of the people is extended.
The will of the people is extinguished.

I never saw light without not seeing the positron/electron pair formation. Ask Mr. Cat.

Is this the same Dice Holdings Inc. that owns /.?

The trouble is with some cars, the "red tail lights are on" and "red tail lights are even more on" difference between driving at night and braking at night wasn't different enough. Instead of legislating a change in the way the current two-brakelight system worked, they opted for a 2 if driving, 3 if braking system. Unfortunately, I've seen people brake with a failed middle light and I've noticed that I'm a little slower in reacting without the middle brake light.

It's even worse than this. The US federal government did a program several years back called "Cash for Clunkers" where the only cars the poor could afford were bought from middle class owners by "the government" (car dealers with government monetary incentives) at reasonable prices, and then the cars' engines were filled with sand and scrapped. So for a couple years, used cars were less available to poorer people.

To further expound on this concept: Cheap energy is what turns subsistence farmers into middle-class workers. The cheaper the energy, the wealthier everyone becomes (yes, including the ultra-rich). Make energy expensive enough, and the middle class might be hit pretty hard too, but not before the poor get smacked in the face.

All energy taxes hit the poor the hardest. Increases in gasoline prices cause indirect rises in all food and storebought goods because deliveries cost more. Buses charge more. Riding the bus might become a luxury in favor of buying food.

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

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.

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.

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.

Why were her emails allowed to be on only her laptop/desktop HDD?
