    Eh? There are lots of AWD manuals. My old Eagle Talon was AWD. Subaru makes most of their vehicles in AWD. I'm sure manuals are just not popular choices these days, but they exist.

    The majority of English cars are manual. Rob has an automatic but it's a Jag S-type R and I think they only did them as automatics

    Oh, I guess most of the people around me just drive automatics, and the few manuals I see are sports cars or older, smaller cars. Yay Northeastern Massachusetts!

    After driving manuals for ~20 years, I finally broke down and got a automatic a few years ago. My latest vehicle (which has a carbon foot print of a T-Rex) has a traction sensing AWD which is vastly superior to anything I've ever driven before -- and I never got stuck in the snow with my manuals.

    I can plow through roads these monster-truck-wannabes can't handle without spinning out. It's awesome.

    I would just like to register my disapproval at the lack of respect being shown for your elders in the posts on the last page.

    Splunge, think of it as so much respect that it cycles back to the other side. Just like those badly programmed RPGs of 20+ years ago :p

    It's a command line utility to copy large amounts of data form one place to another. In this case, it was from one server to another, and I overwrote the root of one of the drives. Much suckage.

    I came to a conclusion today. I am happy. Quite literally there is nothing in my life I dislike doing right now, and this even includes University assignments.

    I know. Odd isn't it? :p

    Crap! I rubbed my eye in the Fab today, and it ended up rolling my contact under my eyelid. :bad: By the time I got it out, I had ripped it, so I've got to finish the rest of my shift blind in one eye... :nolike:

    I really need to get laser eye surgery a.s.a.p. Anyone want to send a few thousand dollars my way? :money:

    Insomnia can have advantages when using a shared computer - unless it's stress induced. That type is horrible, agreed.
