According the the article, you get 69 extra HP from the swap. That's hardly worth the swap in my book.

Private sector Nice Price or Crack Pipe - o - Meters are always superior. If yours needs to be recalibrated, then that is due to the overabundance of government regulation.

I was in the same situation. I still don't know why my parents bought one. We were living in a single-wide trailer at the time, so it's not like we had lots of money. My suspicion is that my Grandfather saw the whole internet explosion coming in 1980 and talked them into it.

I've been using Net 10 for years. I have to get a card or add minutes online every two months. However, $30 for two months is hard to beat. I only talk about one hour per week on the phone, and text a fair amount. There are other options if you talk more than I do.

Lift kits on proper prerunners and offroad trucks are great. Lift kits on Silverados that never see a fleck of dirt in their lives are not.

On Linux, something like:

The Kurgan region. He should have dressed appropriately.

You are on thin ice right now. That is exactly where Rambo Tux wants you.

The engine swaps and mods is what makes NPoCP interesting. It gives us something to talk about. Otherwise, we'd be referring to book values for the vehicles, which is boring.

I avoided going to Office 2007 for as long as I could. Once you get used to the ribbons, it's not that bad. Office 2010 added better equation editing. As a math professor who has to live in an Office environment, that is a big deal. If only my other colleagues knew LaTeX.

An old laptop or desktop should do the trick. Raspberry Pi's are just the popular new toy. Honestly, I don't think this is any better than the flashdrive in my pocket, but I appreciate the DIY effort.

We refinanced recently, and we didn't even know that the appraisal was done. I called the bank to ask about arranging it, and they said it was already done. The appraiser probably just drove by the house and didn't get out of the car.

This is not a direct analogy, but a good motivation for this discussion.

This year, Gallon Man was in the math classrooms of both of my children.

You're right about the pen making the notebook more useful. I figured that the Livescribe is not in the spirit of this poll. I included it too keep the discussion from being entirely about which moleskine is best. Fortunately, a few other folks have good non-moleskine suggestions.

Vote: Livescribe A5 Grid Notebook.

For a while, I used my iPad's clock app as an alarm. I set it to play the credits music for The Incredibles. (The Incredits) It's great music for waking up ready to save the day.

Your last question is the most important, and only you can answer it.
