7/20    Does anyone know if it is possible to go to a shady dealer to
        add freon to a really old car? I don't want to pay a lot of money
        to convert my old AC to the new one that uses 0 freon. Thanks.
        \_ Yes, but it'll leak out within a couple of years.  R134a (non-freon)
           systems are much higher pressure than the old R12 systems.
        \_ And while you're at it, can you find me someone to buy crack from?
           Oh yeah, and I'd like a hitman to kill my annoying wife.  Please
           leave your name, email address, home address, and phone number
           with all responses!  thx!
           \_ Sir, I need to confirm your address...
        \_ The best way I know is to buy an old car or parts of a wrecked
           car. That's what I did. Someone sold me a junk car for $50 and
           I was able to get the freon out of it. I then sold the junk car
           for $50. Auto body shops do this a lot (salvage freon from
           totalled cars).

7/29    Is it really true that we subsidize auto driving to the tune of
        $5k/yr? Shit I could probably hire a private driver for less...

        \_ You might have missed the point.  Hiring a chauffeur to drive your
           private vehicle won't change the amount of gasoline your private
           vehicle use or the amount of real estate it uses on freeways and

1/15    Hey guys, can you provide recommendations for home loans and
        car insurance? I looked into http://www.marlihomes.com and
        it looks promising. As for insurance, I'm looking at
        http://www.pasoinsurance.com (e.g. "We did the Car insurance
        homework for you. See the results at Paso Auto Insurance").

11/4    I posted the probability question the other day. It was nothing as
        complicated as MTBF or the like. My situation is very similar to
        looking at auto accident rates, asking if the rate of caraccidents
        for any given driver is N%/year, what is the chance that for a
        given day that driver will have a crash? N% or N/365% or something
        else? Thanks again.

8/5     The Technium. Economics, needs, and physics-- is there an end to
        Moore's Law, or any other laws wrt to storage, bandwidth, megapixels?
        http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2009/07/was_moores_law.php
        \_ Automobile MPGs don't follow Moore's Law.  Oh, the article already
           mentions this.
           \_ Maybe they just have a lower exponential coefficient.  Processor
