The competition was Coke vs. Pepsi 10 years ago. Our business has evolved over the past 10 years, and with that evolution, we have entered into new categories.
Alison Lewis
[There's] lots of old code hanging around Windows. Mr. Gibson is being spooked by ghosts of the past.

Penny Carlo

Laura Baker
I've already lost two slots from past cuts. We can't afford to lay anyone off and be efficient. We have nowhere left to cut.
Cheyenne Albro
We can't comment about an ongoing investigation. That wasn't on past public record at this point. I have no comment about that. We allege that he broke a number of conditions.

When we look at data over the past 20 years, we get a size distribution of sharks.
Greg Skomal
We have been below in the past. We're heading in the right direction.
Heather Fiorentino
(Mikolas) has been doing that all year long. Someone needs to step up and offer that kid a scholarship. All he's done over the past two years is win.
Doug Ferguson
The chances today are better than they were in the past. I still think there are some barriers we would have to overcome.
Alvin Smith
There's a sensitivity to doing things better than maybe we've done in the past. So we're going to delay a bit from time to time until we get our sea legs.
Councilman Clem Lee
We've accumulated more than 40 awards for F-150 over the past two years. We simply know truck customers better than anyone else.
Doug Scott

I think government feels confident about the BEE processes that have been rolling over for the past few years.

Gary Ryan Blair
If they were pictures of the Yankees of the past 50 years, I'd do just as well.

Gray Davis
Lego has done some intelligent things with licensing in the past year. But they're just catching up.
Hayley Kissel
In the past two years this has become more than just anecdotal.
Ron Phipps
DNA is not like videotape. DNA doesn't show you what happened in the past. At most, DNA can show someone is connected to a crime scene and that's as far as DNA can go. . . . The DNA doesn't prove anyone killed anyone.
Robert Andrews
They are next-door neighbors with a past of conflict and a present of bitter mistrust.

Donald Selkin
The governor and the speaker have a good relationship, and the governor has been supportive of our efforts in the past.
John Mcgovern
It's not a disease. It's not contagious. They should understand that it's a story of pure love. They don't have to be a hero. They don't have to be brave like us. I guess a little bit of maturity is being asked for because society has been immature in the past. That's about it.
Heath Ledger
Oden is unbelievable. I can't think of anyone like him in the past 15 years. He's so athletic, and he's a winner.
Pete Gillen
We declared it an emergency, because we can't pay it back by the end of the year. So we have six months past the beginning of the year to pay it back. We'll pay it back by March, probably, but we do have until June.
Gary Meyer
I thought volume trends were good. And the recall seems to be a thing of the past.
George Thompson
Carpets offer a continuity between now and the past.
Brian Murphy

John Portman
I think younger people should never forget the past.
Lou Marino
I think it is common practice. This is something that other countries have done in the past. The US put such a levy in place in 1972.
Wang Guoliang
This is just another example of similar news we've seen in these past days, meant to manipulate and impose pressure on the (Serbian) government.
Srdjan Djuric
We knew this was happening 15 years ago. But it's only been in the past few months that the information has been spread by the media.
Will Steger
I think it's imperative that we participate in the process. We have a vested interest in helping it be orderly. If we don't participate, we'll be left out as we have in the past.
Bob Hadfield
It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.

Tallulah Bankhead
It was exciting, even though I didn't make it past the preliminaries. It's a little disappointing; I thought I could've done better.
Chris Weber
Usually it's just a concert, but we've had extensive celebrations recently. Four to five restaurants have donated in the past, and we've been able to sample the food and have contests, too.
Patricia Lewis
All of those things are costing money. That's the reason they haven't passed in the past, because they have a dollar sign in front of it.

Jeff Corey
If we continue down the same path as we have in the past, people may become tired of gaming.

Vincent Boberski
When you walked in that house, you saw nothing of that past life.
Mike Wooldridge
