So, in your opinion, is in-breeding for "purebred" status is acceptable, then? As you may know, this process causes all sorts of medical problems for ALL species... yet it's done without anyone batting an eye for their animals...

Still love my 06 LGT (Sedan). Stage 2, 130k+ miles so far, and sad to say I can't think of a good replacement for it. Never had "clutch problems" other than the fact that the stocker couldn't take the power upgrades... my previous ACT clutch was crazy heavy and lost a spring after about 60k miles. My current…

Exactly. And also why the only way to get real security is to check EVERYONE. Not just brown people, not just those who didn't pay the extra "fast security" fee, etc. Anything less is simply another loophole to exploit.

In principle, I totally agree. However, the fact is that the measurement techniques (particularly the breath-test) is so highly inaccurate, that I have no faith in the result. Studies have shown that breath tests vary by over 50%... yet we trust it completely. On the other hand, I also don't want the police to be…

Agreed. It's this kind of crap that annoys me. The red car does something dumb, causes the accident in the process, and gets away without even KNOWING something they did caused the accident. Don't get me wrong, I fully agree the Civic was being dumb. But the red car driver needs to (at least) know they did something…

I can't tell you IF you should root, but if I had to root, I would start by looking at XDA forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/

Ditto on the no-result. I've tried it on 2 browsers a total of 4 times, and it just its there "calculating"...

No argument there - the police ought to have even MORE training. My friend who was in the coast guard gave a great example of the training he went through - he was required to enter a simulator and shoot wax bullets and deal with specific scenarios to learn from them. This means the technology and system already…

I know some gun-fanatics may complain about longer waiting periods. I'll allow them that... if they can pass all the proper exams in a short time, fine, go ahead and sell one to them. After all, I doubt time is going to help the situation, as a deperate person may get an illegal weapon anyway.

Proof, again, that we shouldn't be giving guns to people who aren't trained to use them. (And I'm not talking about the lame "gun safety" courses most states have in a classroom, though that's a good start... but real hands-on training.) At least in this case, we didn't lose an innocent bystander in the accident.

Agreed. The answer is get proper tires and learn how to drive properly in the snow. AWD doesn't magically fix the problem, and driving an AWD usually makes the poor drivers over-confident because it will pull away straight without any drama, but when it comes time to turn or brake, they're going too fast.

Like some others have reported, I, too, did not have to shave - they did this. And, yes, you're awake during the procedure. In my case, there was no "curtain" to keep me from looking. Normally, I'm pretty fine with watching procedures, even to my own body, but in this case I realized that I didn't really want to look…

There's a big difference between ethylene glycol (the old green coolant we used to use on cars) and propylene glycol (which is used in the "safe" coolants today). In addition, there's a food-grade PG that is used in some food products (McD's milk shakes, for example). The ethylene stuff is what makes it toxic... the…

I agree with her, the duck is certainly in the wrong here, as least according to laws here in MA. Specifically CMR 720, 9.09(1):

Because many Americans are idiots who believe whatever they see on TV... and believe it OVER any real scientific evidence.

Agreed, here in MA, I saw xmas crap in Home Depot in early October as well.

Sorry to hear that. Too bad your grandpa doesn't know that the holiday's origins had nothing to do with christ. I'm offended that christians keep shoving christ into xmas (Saturnalia) in the first place :)

There's an entire, excellent, website to learn a lot about batteries and their tech: http://batteryuniversity.com/

Blown Head Gasket. It's What Makes A Subaru A Subaru.

Agreed with the others. I took my first one about 2 years ago, and it was great fun. Going on another one later this year (same one, in fact). Sure, there are stories of problems... many are on Carnival (the cheapest cruise line - I guess you get what you pay for?)... I won't go on that line... but I'm happy with…
