Blame the states for convincing its constituents that you can’t survive without paying for everything with income taxes.

Gone are the days when I saw a car and thought “Boy would I like to own that”. Come are the days when I see a car and think “Boy, I wish California didn’t have such strong emissions laws”. California is one of the least-free states for automotive enthusiasts.

They need to fix that title. That is a ‘90, not an 1980 Skyline.

Shitty dealerships.

The real issue of concern here is that the sophisticated computers in vehicles are so intertwined that they shouldn’t (for security and safety and environmental reasons) be allowed to be tinkered with.

That’s a fallacious argument if I’ve ever seen one. “shouldn’t be allowed” is not a legal precedent, that’s a moral…

Unless those tubes fire out exhaust in an approximation of the firing order on this particular motor, no.

The passenger who announces the speed limit when you did not ask for it; as if you had not seen that BIG WHITE SIGN WITH THE WORDS “SPEED LIMIT” AND BIG BLACK NUMBERS INDICATING THE MAXIMUM LEGAL SPEED YOU CAN GO.

The passenger who consistently informs you that you have obtained X-5MPH, where X is the posted speed…

I don't think it is pretentious bullshit to have a strong affinity for wine and its nuances. I do think that there is a lot of power of suggestion in the descriptors people tend to use for wine. Sometimes you will taste some flavor because you are told it is there. The best sommaliers are the ones who let you decide…

I prefer two widescreen monitors. Bezels are better visually for organizing your workspaces. Also, it feels much more natural to have windows snapped into halves of the screen where the corners are easily visible. You can’t do that without feeling awkward on an ultrawide.

I ever adore the "Less Is More" ethos of Mazda's MX-5. That other readers want bigger HP numbers and don't understand ... is no surprise. This is a driver's car. Not a racer's car. This is the car you take when you enjoy driving all the time and want to enjoy driving all the time even more. 2200lbs and 155HP. Does one…

One fucking pokéball, no less.

Manual transmission drivers choose manual transmissions because they enjoy driving with a manual transmission, not because they are objectively superior. If you don't own one yet, just go ahead and buy a Toyota Prius, because your fallacy should dictate your actions and technology choices as much as you'd like to…

Also from Matthew.

And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?" He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife,…

Wow that must be from an alpha or beta build. How I wish Blizzard wouldn't leave us WC fans out.

Indeed you caught my error.

My money went to the 256GB 840 Pro. I think the EVO is a better deal if you don't need top notch performance (I certainly didn't but the EVO wasn't available at the time). The Pro is still better IMO because it uses good ol' SLC, rather than MLC like the EVO does. SLC is better for performance in my experience but MLC…

Love Ira Glass. Thanks for covering this.

$17 on Amazon. Works great. Doesn't make my iPhone 5 slip when I put it there flat like it should be anyways. Doesn't block the charging cable. Fits just great on my dashboard. Because it can swivel, I usually have it at a right angle pointing towards me, then…

First off, I agree with you that it is simple to do. I never said it was a difficult chore. Second off, I never said that other OSes don't get infected, just that Windows is the most likely candidate because Windows is the most widespread operating system in the gaming world. Third off, I don't know what you're trying…

And you believe that the majority of swatters are actually going to use this method? I don't think so. I'll ignore your ignorant use of the word "retarded" and give you my thoughts on your advice.

1. Encrypt your outgoing data: ask any underage kid (who likely was the perpetrator) to do this.
2. Use a VPN that any…
