So I am just now finishing finals and I did such a good job(52hrs in a yr w/ a 3.87GPA and second year of Computer Science degree) that My mom is getting me a new box....

hehehe, liquid cooled quadcore(can you say clockspeed) on an ASUS w/8GB1066MhzRam dual nvidia 512MB SLI graphics, a 10,000RPM HD...
Can you say in heaven... Oh yeah, it boots Vista,XP,FedoraCore6,andOSX(some things not working like SATA but it has its own little 80GB through a IDE adapter card that reads and writes...and it runs final cut so Im happy)

It makes me so happy.
Oh and the same day she ordered all the parts(last wednesday) I found my car outside my house broken into w/ circular saw and drill bits and they jacked my stereo, airbags(side ones in seat too), parts of steering column, and random other pieces..
Good things and bad things.

Anyway luvin all yous out here in the tubes. till next time everybody.

They jacked your AIRBAGS? There's seriously a black market for that shit? That's so fucked...

Note to self: Do not move to Portland. They have roaming gangs of mobile machine shops that are so stealthy they can strip your entire car outside your house without you noticing.

I had my airbag deploy in a relatively small accident (my head didn't even touch the thing). The shop, that was run by a family friend, estimated $2,000 to stuff it back into the steering wheel. So yeah, there's a market.

So who's behind the black market airbag market? Thieves selling undeployed airbags? Airbag reinstallers hiring thieves to steal airbags so they can charge to reinstall them? Neocons trying to pin it on Iran?

Wow... what a tangled web.

Maybe it's a self generated market. HEY!! Someone stole my airbag, gotta go buy another one... a stolen one.

I blame Canada.
