Can I just lock up all of some politician's fund right before an election and only allow access to fight the case which will likely take months? Can I do the same with a business? A multinational corporation? Freeze up all the assets o

It asked something like keeping the recovery partition. I naively said yes. I got everything from McAfee to Encyclopedia Britannica.

I tried this and when I reinstalled I got all the bloatware back. It was pretty frustrating because I don't know what I did incorrectly. I ended up putting a Microsoft Windows 8.1 iso on a flash drive using rufus. https://ru

I have a Yoga Y 510 p. Windows barked at me after a few weeks of installing Windows 8.1 from scratch. It said I should get the latest version of the power utility from Lenovo. The power utility lets me spin up the fan which apparently can h

If you said you could I increase my bottom line by at least 300k by working on some low hanging fruits that I've missed so far, I wouldn't hesitate to give you $30k... Of course, I'd pay you after I have results though.

At the risk of sounding like I'm overgeneralizing, fines and tickets should not go into the budget at all. Things like sin taxes make me uneasy. I cant believe people arent up in arms against civil forfeiture. The problem is... Where d
