Instructions say to wash them if you lose touch sensitivity. Makes sense, since the insides get dirty from the oil and dead skin from your fingers.

Just for kicks, I did a general search for one and found this. I'm no gearhead so someone else will have to tell me if it's worth anything, but if the Wiki entry on it is anything to go by, this isn't a bad one.

I like that you added "adult owned".

Again, YMMV. I'm sure there's a number of happy successes out there for one of me. I think as long as you remember KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), you shouldn't have issues.

Yeah, when I was in your position, I read the reviews of FreeNAS and all I saw was sex and money (savings) over simple Synology/Drobo products, so I went with it. Now, my network is a bit crazy (main router is next to the cable modem, which is across the house and down a floor, and I wasn't going to string a hard line…

Not really answering your question, but rather a word of caution: Make sure you really want to spend the time and effort doing this. I did it a few years back to replace an old Drobo, and while it was fun doing the build and initial setup, I severely underestimated the effort and maintenance that continues to go into…

Not Alvin, Simon, and Theodore? /sarcasm

That's a much less passive-aggressive way of telling someone to look it up instead of linking them a LMGTFY search.

I kind of want to say all dealers should screen prospective buyers on whether they can drive stick before they're allowed to buy a WRX.

My dad's got a '70 T/A hardtop in bright yellow with black stripes (though it's now more of a mustard color since it's been sitting in the garage for 30+ years) that both of the neighborhood kids up the block drooled over as we were growing up, and I can only imagine what kind of ridiculousness would ensue if he went…

Well I've got a secondhand, 2000 Subaru Legacy with fairly easy miles on it, which means we'll probably have almost completely made the switch to alternative forms of fuel by the time I need to get a new car.

Maybe it's because I have cloth seats, but I was never really bothered with the lack of heated seats. I wouldn't mind a heated/cooled steering wheel and shift knob though.

Depending on your work, all of Gawker is NSFW.

I discovered that new feature too, during my once-every-blue-moon check into Mint. Very handy!

That's okay, we have a lot of people here I don't understand either, and we're both speaking the same language, so this Welshwoman will fit in just fine.

Trade you

I could fit my head in that intake, and all the kids were saying I'd take home the "Melon of the Day" award when getting fitted for our caps and gowns (for the record, I didn't, but it was close).

I'd buy a goat so it could mow my lawn.

Will it be meta and find updates for itself if we download the current version?
