I don't know if there's any documentation on this, but I'd love to pitch in. I've worked on a lot of computers. Replaced a lot of hard drives. Drive sizes are spanned out farther as capacity increases. You used to see 20,30,40,60,80,100,120 GB drives. Now you primarily see 250,500,750,1000,2000 GB drives. However,…

Is being "in the market for a new Seagate" a thing? I would hope users are a little more open-minded!

What characteristics does your environment share with a household/SMB environment? Which ones are unique to your environment? When considering performance, do you include variables such as appliance (dedicated storage, workstation, etc) or physical state (temperature, form factor, power-on time)?

Oh the joys of intermediate consumer-grade drive sizes. 640GB Blue Western Digitals. 400GB Toshibas. 1.5TB Seagates. All the oddballs suck. They really suck.

2012 Base Corolla. DRL "driving lamps" but no automatic headlamps.

That's funny. The specifications panel shows different

This magic supermaterial hasn't seen widespread usage in cars yet but is slowly making its way into automotive production. The C7 Corvette uses Aerogel as a heat insulator for the transmission tunnel, which means that you can buy a car that has NASA materials and pushrods.

"You probably shouldn't abuse these tips"

2005 Monte Carlo SS. Supercharged, very comfortable, and not too bad on fuel. I drove one on my 65-mile-a-day commute for a couple of years. The 3800 is unstoppable and the car handled extremely well in blizzards.

To take advantage of Comcast WiFi, be prepared to log in with a BHN, Cox, Optimum, TWC, or Xfinity acount that is subscribed to an Internet plan.

Maybe it's coming out the top. I've had oil seep out the valve covers and burn right away. Degrease your engine and watch for sludge

The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel has a VGT. I'm pretty sure the diesel engines in all of today's Rams, as well as the past 10 years in Super Duties and GM Trucks are VG-Turbocharged as well.

I do prefer my barley off road, but if that's the name for 2wd wrangler competitions, I'd like to see that! #corrections

Third-party specific service warranties? I just love that I can go in for a "lifetime four-wheel alignment" at a particular garage one day and be refused an alignment until I pay $417 per wheel for a new bearing hub assembly on a 2005 Impala, decline repair, and then come in 2 days later and get it aligned no…

I've heard that on some vehicles, just under 80 miles is a full, emissions-and-every-other-damn-thing drive cycle.

My buddy's 2004 Escalade was very, very messed up - electronically speaking. Aside from speed sensors sporadically reporting half-values (resulting in out-of-control cruise control), doors locking and unlocking at random, front and rear wiper issues, their parking sensors would only activate in forward gear. That's…

But tailgating left-lane hoggers is okay, right?

I need another coffee, Pat - I read the title and couldn't understand what good comes from lending money. After reading the article, however, I can confirm that it's very accurate. I first picked up on the behavior from a coworker, and it becomes a contagious habit.

As someone who used to work alongside gadget insurers, they do realize the amount of abuse that this provokes, but it's much easier than keeping old stock.

An old coworker of mine had issues with her first-gen Moto Droid (Milestone). They sent her the same phone back. The next time she sent it in for the same issues, they cut her a check for the full price of a new Droid. Given that this was at most 6 months after the purchase date, there wasn't a newer model (or…
