I don't recall problems with cross winds while motoring about in my '68 bus, but damn headwinds often kept me to a sedate 45 MPH with the pedal mashed to the floor.
BMWs that slam into park when in reverse and the door is ajar, damaged or missing...yeah, nice feature when one is attempting to back the vehicle in or out of a repair stall (took me awhile to figure out I needed to fasten the seat belt for such low speed maneuvering
Cars that move the damn outside mirrors down when shifted into reverse...WTF
Who the fuck thought putting a tiny rear camera screen in the rear view mirror was a good idea?
Picked it up for $20.00. Gave it 4GB of RAM and installed debian 7 (wheezy) and purged pulseaudio. That was two years ago. I use mate and compiz-fusion for my desktop. Sure the built-in wi-fi is only g, the left speaker is borked, the lid hinge is a bit wonky and the battery may last for an hour tops but it is still very dependable and responsive, sleeps and wakes up with no problems.
Because reefer has become too expensive to burn it up inna joint. ...poking holes and slits into an empty aluminum can ...rooting around in my toolbox and scoring a long 10mm socket
Two different vehicles, two different hacks/hillbilly engineering solutions. An old Chevy Van 108 (the ones with the engine between the two front seats, solid front axle, three on the tree) where the gas pedal had broken free of the rotating rod that moved the linkage. A 6" pipe wrench adjusted just right was affixed to the rod and performed just as well as the pedal.
An old Beetle's accelerator cable broke near the pedal assembly...in morning rush hour traffic... in an effin snow storm. I barely was able to pull into a strip mall parking lot on the carb's fast idle cam. I rummaged through the glove box. A small key chain and a pink balloon were all I could find that looked helpful. It was enough. I forget exactly what I did other than the balloon got tied and knotted about the remaining cable end piece and the key chain which was looped around where the cable hooked up to the back of the pedal. As with any good hillbilly solution I left the "fix" in place as it held up to daily use for close to a year till It was decided I should just part with the three bucks and
[rant] Enough of this ms cheer leading. Just stop./. is being assimilated.and no one seems to notice/care. Jeeze even debian is being assimilated. by systemd. WTF is happening?
"Don't fight it, Miles, it's no use. Sooner or later, you'll have to go to sleep." [/rant]
Um yeah, uh, no thanks. I hate pulseaudio, prolly cuz I didn't want it, it just showed up an upgrade or so ago on debian.. At least I can remove it and just rely on alsa, systemd prolly not so much. Quit fucking with debian. debian is not ubuntu. Why can't you just leave well enough alone? I'll just have to hang onto Wheezy as long as I can.
Ice-nine, my favorite example of not thinking things all the way through. That and the Army Corp of Engineers constant fucking with the Mississippi River.
AT&T knew this would happen, my monthly DSL bandwidth has a soft cap of 150 GB with extra data charged @ $10/per additional 50 GB. AT&T thinks 5 gigs a day should be enough for anyone, my grand kids would beg to differ; they are very network intensive with Ipods and tablets and a roku box and video messaging and netflix and youtube and "grampa could you get us " which means a torrent download with appropriate uploading and more bandwidth...
Pitch may be a dictionary synonym for tar or bitumen, but out in the real world pitch is not asphalt. Pitch is an entirely different beast from its bituminous asphalt derived cousin, as anyone that has had the displeasure of replacing a pitch based roofing system by means of a roof tear off can attest. Kinda like cramming windoze and debian into the same definition of an OS. For a site that claims to be befitting of nerds the articles increasingly seem to be reported by the local 6:00 news team. I believe netcraft has confirmed it; slashdot has jumped the shark.

I've certainly had enough of XCF being the default saving format when 95% of the time I'm just doing a quick edit on a image.
overwrite the image or export if you don't want to save as an .xcf...
The shows Netflix makes are of little value. I use the service to get quick, legal access to the umpteen series other people have made.
Arrested Development, Lillhammer and The Trailer Park Boys
I dunno how much involvement Netflix has or had in these shows being resurrected or allowed to continue...but they seem to claim some responsibility.
my second favorite "Taxi" scene https://youtu.be/K_bEXeTwrC8
My first being "What does a yellow light mean?" https://youtu.be/1HvmtbZzA40
