I actually knew a guy in high school (and just after) who had a 2000ish 328 and put M3 badges and all the racing stickers on it. He would claim it was indeed a M3 and that he had taken it to Gumball. He also claimed to have graduated from oxford and be a multi millionaire, so it was kind of par for the course.

Firmly disagree. In terms of serving as a conduit for 99, it works great, and it actually drops off at the north end of the SLU area, making it easier to access downtown as city street traffic moving south is easier to navigate.

The first half of your comment is 100% correct. Someone needs to foot the bill for these benefits. Personally, if my taxes went to 40%, but all of these benefits came with it, I wouldn’t mind at all.

I would guess he is referring to it’s $349 price point (as compared to the $149 price point of the Echo plus) for a product with worse AI and application selection.

I have always steered away from “tower” routers, due to the way RF signals work propagate, the closer the antennas are to each other, the more cross talk and interference you will have. That aside the AE is a decent router, it is just not worth it’s $200 price tag. For that price, you can get class leading third party…

King county is the best county

With you there, right now I am looking at an X3, JCW Clubman, and Colorado. The colorado is a tough sell for me right now as I am coming from a SHO. That being said, I have a thousend $$ earmarked for this. I change cars every 2-3 years, so the long wait don’t bother me

I don’t understand why they say it would be difficult. VLANs cost next to nothing to implement and provide effective segmentation. I work for a major manufacturer, and we ensure our office machines, production machinery, and office computers are all VLANed off to name a few. Standard practice for enterprise really.

Genital Teasing?!? There are some places you have to pay for just that part!

Something something ... Trickle Down!

I have a bottle of champagne in my desk drawer for when I get to whack the last x86 box in my enterprise. The bottle is actually becoming quite valuable.

No, not paranoid at all. Say friend, does your bunker have booze rations or just water?

I am against the idea of outright dismissing something due to rareity. While rareity, by definition, means something is unlikely to occur, it also suggests that it does occur from time to time. By Occam’s razor, we can actually accept this to currently be the most likely scenario.

Thats what I meant by “Quasi”. Take the SEA for example, no direct, concrete link has been proven, but based on actions and other evidence, there is likely some command and control link between the group and Assad’s goverment.

And I am pointing out that both are equally likely. Check out

That happens plenty, but not to the excluscion of third parties

You asked me to define a quasi state actor, the PLA is a state actor activley targeting foregin nationals. Another good example would be the Syrian Electronic Army, and Russian-sponsored hacktivists in the Ukraine/Crimea

They just wrapped up filming for the new Twin Peaks in my town, pretty interesting to watch

So in other words, keep your mouth shut and you’ll be fine?
