For $10K more I bought a 2011 WRX ordered straight from the factory last year. The tracks look like they'd be fun but I live in Texas, I see a 1/4 inch of snow maybe once every 10 years.

I have to agree, I love my car but I'm glad I didn't own one when I first got my license. I learned how to drive on a F-150 manual transmission. Looking back my first car still wasn't a great choice for an 18yr old. I had a Ford Crown Vic, back when they had the 5.0L 302 engine.

To me at least, Metro has been very efficient and good looking (in my eyes) in its simplicity (I love live tiles), but let's face it UI design is like art. What one person sees as great another sees as crap.

I would think Metro would work great for both people who either need picture clues or only text. Metro uses simple icons and text to give visual clues. If some 3rd party uses text only, I can then agree it doesn't help someone dyslexic or kids still learning to read. For what it's worth Metro apps are not walls of…

My office is far too dusty...where's that tissue....it's the dust I say.

Not all Subie owners are stupid crazy. At least in Austin when I used to go to some of the meets they were very tame.

My wife knows how much I loved my first WRX and had no problems with me getting another. It worked out better for us too. We traded in her Eclipse and my paid off WRX and drove off with an Impreza for her and a WRX for me, all while paying only $200 more per month than what just her Eclipse was costing us.

I'm biased but how about a rally style car. Just be sure to get a proper suspension setup if you want to jump it.

If it's roach heaven, be sure and put some roach motels at the bottom.

I was going to say I try to follow what race car drivers do as they tend to be on cutting edge of safety procedures. The part I'd have a hard time doing is letting go of the wheel when being hit or about to get pushed into a wall, etc. You do that so you don't break your wrists, but the instinct is to hold on to…

As sick days, that's why I have 195 hours stocked up. I do hope I'm never sick enough to deplete them.

For those of you in IT, I recommend using MDT 2010. Not only can you use it to deploy new computers but you can use it to backup the user profiles, reinstall the OS and restore the profiles. Works great too when moving users from and old computer to a new computer. I tweaked mine out so that typically I can run a…

This is why I'm glad Microsoft stuck to their guns and didn't let anyone mess with their UI. I'll be defecting from Verizon to AT&T for the Lumia 900, not that I want to leave Verizon but they leave me no choice :(

I wish I had one too, I'm one of those crazy drivers that doesn't usually use AC and I live in Texas

My 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX shows Avg. MPG for the trip odometers but goes blank when you change to actual miles. The non-US versions show current MPG when showing your actual odometer. This has to be a software feature, does anyone out there know how to make the US model show current MPG?

The sad part is there are many sites that limit you to 8 characters or some don't even allow special characters. On top of that who knows if they even securely store your password.

From time to time my right hand will hurt (too much mouse use) and get neck pain more than I used to but that's mostly due to the red light runner that hit me on my way to work, last year.

To be fair we have a mix of U-turns with their own lane or a lane that ends in like 20 feet. I can never remember which are which if I don't frequent that particular area.

Most likely not

Like Windows 7 you can dock a window to the left side and one to the right side. As for searching, in Windows you hit the start button on your keyboard and start typing. In Windows 8 you hit the start button on your keyboard and start typing. I fail to see how that's different or less efficient. Granted I'm not saying…
