Have them offline and copy the raw drive/tape to trusted 3rd party (as they must do regularly for backups anwyway) and have that 3rd party query the data. Or if the data is old enough, have them just copy the backup to the 3rd party.

This should eliminate any query expense they would have had (as it's been replaced by raw data copy expense.)

And the 3rd party is to protect the data you're not supposed to get.

I don't see the dicking around on facebook category here.

I'm pretty sure breaking down someones "work" into 9 categories is not useful.

Also, I got this error: We didn't receive a complete request from your browser in time. Sorry about that. Please try refreshing and contact us if the problem persists.

There was a very cool picture of an angry unicorn though

So you're saying ban poor people. How dare you! And agist as well. All youth make poor decisions and hurt people!?1!one!1

Saying I have a muslim friend, he's cool, is not a counterpoint for a literal request for statistics. That statistic you presented was of one, albeit outliar in nearly all areas country. We need better/more data.

It would be nice to even actually own some of what you're repairing. Can you resell your itunes purchases? I guess that battle is assumed lost, so we can beg for the right to repair that which we use to consume what media we do not own and can't resell.

Sue for damages and get the data back via discovery before you lose.

You could also ask your "fans" to send you their cached copies. Or you could search your local browser history. Or you could hire forensic analysists to examine any drives you may have had the data on.

You could also pay lots of fees and bloat up the bitcoin blockchain with it, if you don't want to lose it again.

This is a story about Somali Jamal in Denmark, who planned to join ISIS with his friends. But a cop called him, and apologized for uh.., thinking he might be a threat. So Jamal uh, changes his mind, but two of his buddies don't and die in Syria.

So if you hug a terrorist, he might not want to kill you as much, maybe.

You know who doesn't have this terrorist hugging problem?

Japan.

More people like you, increasing capacity, instead of price, are the solution. Be proud. You are the solution to high prices. I would call that 1031 exchange an unfair benefit to the already over benefitted by capital gains tax being half of income tax class though.

The world needs more houses with more people in them. That requires lower house prices, or richer people. I do not like the attitude home owners have that their future must be paid for by the pain of others not being able to afford homes. And that the profit they make on that low production asset subsidises their leisure lifestyle. Building is better than speculating, for speculating is 1 layer removed from production.

Some of the smarter among us own homes, because they can delay gratification, and save. That same saving and delayed gratification could be used to put money into a business that benefits others, instead of a home, which benefits basically only them and their close family. Not only do they misallocate that capital, while being the intelligent class that can actually run a successful business, or service, which benefits others. That's just bad thing 1.

Bad thing 2 is that they cop an attitude, and affect legislation which causes their "investment" in owning a home to rise in price. Executed by preventing competition (zoning laws) and being more costly for everyone else to buy, because they demand and fight for it. *Homestead tax exemption, etc. Their choice to own a home makes them want others to have a harder time to get what they themselves have, through the vehicle of higher prices, and tax benefits to the capital class.

Thus intelligent, useful people, become cockblockers. Houses must become more and more unaffordable for everyone else, because they happen to own one. :( How selfish. Sadly, the idea that high house prices screw over more people than they benenfit is undermarketed, and its impossible to teach a man a thing he profits by not understanding... We end up in a world where no young person can afford to own the home they live in. And if you try to build some new supply, the local captured regulatory agency, vetos you. The zoning board of people who already have nice houses, cock blocks you. Not in my backyard!

Stop cock blocking. Stop expecting your future to be paid for by your non productive, benefits only you "asset." Go forth and benefit others at scale if you desire riches.

I agree with you. Which is why we need more affordable houses, and less unaffordable houses. Because many in this world have more than they need, you can get the important, shelter by renting, lucky us! We can affordably live in things that took thousands of man hours of labor, and more capital, for a low monthly fee.

One day, when robots build houses, owning can replace renting. Or when everyone stops the cargo cult of HOUSES MUST GO UP IN PRICE OR LIFE SUXORZ!!!

It's funny how owning something distorts ones perception. What else in the world MUST GO UP IN PRICE! Notice I say price and not value, for it is truly only the price going up. Their utility remains static, or decreases as the view is blocked by high rises.

Paperclips must go up in price! I own some!

Land and Homes should not suck useful capital out of our economies. Where could you spend more money and benefit less people per dollar? Our capital is better deployed in businesses where many more people benefit from many less dollar input.

This is why the SP500 craps on real estate. Because it should. Hell, the only reason real estate has had the peaks it has, is because it was subsidized by the financial sector. And as you can see, that blip of misvaluation did much more harm than good.

Business make the world better than houses do. Businesses are where you get people the best benefits. More expensive houses, to the point of unaffordable are the enemy. If you have allocated a huge portion of your assets into a non productive asset (a house), then you are part of what is wrong with the world. Stop expecting your "only benefits you house" to pay the same as "benefits 10x + more people" businesses.

P.S. liquidity, capital surplus recycling, less bid/ask spread, less fees, less counterparty risk (eviction, destruction). The capital markets pretty much crap on the real estate markets. And they should.

I sure you'll think this way, until eventually you grow up and develop some empathy of your own. Then come back and tell us how much you appreciate a world where no man can afford to own his own home, and all homes are owned by banks.

Disclaimer, I am a proud member of the capital class.
