That you even have to say "center your budget around buying freedom" and not things is indicative of how little freedom there is in a modern consumer driven society.

We're all wage slaves if we have to "budget" for our freedom.

Yes, a $300 2005 computer can run modern games a on medium-low. I did up until 2009 on a $200 ~2003 socket 478 Pentium 4 3.0 ghz with an AGP (already outmoded) graphics card with 1gb of DDR5. Still ran Starcraft II halfway okay. Serves as a great server today.

You would, however, be wrong. The Lincoln that saw the assassination of one leader and the near death of another remained in service. Why?

It means surveys that suggest personality traits based upon musical taste are thinly correlated, at best.

I love: classical, 90s gangster rap, underground rap, punk rock, metal, indie, blues, some jazz, and a good deal of Motown.

Evidently I am high self esteem, low self esteem, hard working, and lazy, etc. etc.

"that waving money is a surefire way of not getting served."

Yeah, you don't wave it like some dick more important than everyone else. After years of pissing away my money at bars, I can say with full confidence that having cash/plastic in your hand while you stand square and stare at the barkeep will get you served…

I do this every Sunday, excepting my laundry. Nothing to do with religion either, mostly just too exhausted from the rest of the week's nonsense to do much. It is quite liberating to be able to say, "I'm not getting out of bed today," and keep your promise.

Nearly had a heart attack when I realized NO CRX!

Started to rage, then noticed they spell it CR-X. Crisis averted.

"Now don't misunderstand, I enjoyed the video a lot... but a stupid YouTube video is not a reason to risk doing indoor Gymkhana nonsense with an extremely rare million-dollar piece of motorsport history."

ITT: WAAAAH THIS GUY USED HIS CAR HOW HE WANTED TO, AND IT ISN'T IN A WAY I APPROVE OF!

Protip: a major part of…

Read / Write hours are far and away more important to determining failure than "years."

In a data center where they're accessed everyday, they're going to wear out quicker.

In a RAID setup where they're used multiple times for the same request, they're going to wear out quicker.

I've got drives that are 10+ years old…

"someone is still living with mom and dad after they land a job and are making enough money to live on their own, it makes me think that they're not really grown-up yet, they're just playing at it."

Saving money for a house is playing at being grown up? Wow.

"How to Make the Airport Less Crappy"

tl;dr "Be a good looking hipster."

"isn't to say I don't think"

Nah, double negatives pretty much guarantee saying that.

Because Micro$oft can milk all of the early adopters for DLC content that will be included in a "gold" or "GOTY in Malaysia" issue in a year?

"Is it the lower, faster, thirstier CR-Z you've always wanted?"

Nooooooope. For the cost of the mods alone you could have a GSR swapped CRX from 88-91 in perfect condition with your choice of a supercharger or turbo (turbo you might be back into SOHC territory dependin on build). Instead of anemic CR-Z performance, you…

Knew a guy down in NC that owned 3 or 4 of them at any given time. Usually only 1 or 2 were running properly. YMMV; saw a beautiful 928 follow me halfway into work this morning. Wish he'd kept up through the twisties.

WTF are you going to find an SE-R or Corvair for less than $1k in anything approaching runnable?

I'd call BS on the E30 too, but we all know you can find a POS that will cost you 5x in a few years of ownership for that $1k.

I can't into math. Derp.

Where the pictures make it look like just the tip of the knife went in. As a guy that owns a lot of knives, I'd wager this xray isn't one of Mr. Knifehead judging upon length in the xray, versus kitchen-utensil sized cutting knife in the photos.

"but right now, I couldn't bear the intense liability and legal risk."

Then you never really truly wanted it.

"Barris had a penchant for tall tales, though, and the diminutive Spyder really only was tied to the death of one person, as opposed to the deaths of millions."
