I just bought some new Gucci sunglasses. Saw this color the next day. What to do? I guess I will get both. I am already getting tons of compliments on the all black pair.

how much do they cost?
 
I've been wanting a rifle for ages, but didn't know they were this pricy (I'm assuming this is relatively cheap, even).

Naw.. The ACR is crazy expensive. That's the cutting edge of military rifles right now (See also "SCAR"). They're modular in design, so you can swap out barrels, mechanisms, grips, stocks, etc etc. A basic AR-15 style rifle right now (there's a bajillion manufacturers) is somewhere between $900 and $1300.

Can you tell me what the entry level price for classic used rifles is? Something like a Springfield, Mosin-Nagant or K98 or something?

It depends on the model, the condition, and the antiquity. A real Springfield M1 Garand in good condition is going to be pricy.. $1200+. But there are remakes/rebuilds that are considerably less. The best source is:

Think, eBay for firearms and firearm related items. Perusing the site should give you a good feel for what a common price is on classic rifles.
 
Has to be:

iPhone 4G (you know that...)
ACSP, ACSA, ACMT certification in no particular order
Lots of iTunes Gift Cards
Mac Mini
OSX Snow Leopard Server
iMac
40" 1080 HDTV (3D doesn't work for me)
an AppleTV running iOS, with Facetime, an A4 processor and 512mb ram :D
My fiancé visa to be processed quickly!
Dodge Charger
New snowboarding gear
To try playing American Football (just currently too fat to be a back and too short to be a lineman at 6 foot - working on that though)
50mm Minolta AF lens
A cat or dog
Some kind of Apple Support role in NYC when I'm there
Then in 4 years or so, a US Passport so I can finally forget the World Cup exists! ;)

I'm hopefully going to work on the Apple certs during the next few months, then just before I leave for the US, get an iPhone 4G from Apple here and the rest will be saving again once I'm there!
 
I would settle for the fastest production car on this planet - The Bugatti Veyron - while riding this you can be sure of one thing, no other car or bike overtakes you, neither can a helicopter chase you and it can even take on small airplanes :cool:

I saw this one in Monaco 2 weeks ago.
 
Porsche Boxster Spyder

I'd take any Boxster to be honest, but this one is my favourite model!
 
Yep- I love that thing too. I wish they were going to make a convertible, it would be mine. But I have to settle for a Camaro convertible instead.

I think I'm the only one who thinks the new Camaro is a complete travesty of auto design. Right behind that is the Mustang.

I would agree. Cars are too heavy, that is my reason for not liking it. And a "sports" car without independent rear suspension??? WTH?? (hint: Mustang)

Anyone can throw in a bigger motor into a chassis. I'd rather have better cornering, similar on/off throttle characteristics and the ability to switch directions without praying for safety.

Something I want but don't have: a small notebook made out of carbon fiber:

so you prefer US over australia lol?

Sure do - why?

(Dr Andy Thomas had to move to achieve his life goals)

Why Orlando? There are many other places more exciting than Orlando.

Its close to the Space Coast, you wouldn't want me to have said Titusville then hehehe!

Not ragging on Orlando, but the keyword is 'lifetime supply'. If some place is bad, then a lifetime supply of tickets there would be '2'. One to get there, and get the hell out again.

Well thats true, however working here in Aus at the moment until I can get into employment there means several trips! Otherwise I have already used a 'lifetimes supply' a few times!

something else I would not mind purely for its hackability with Ubuntu and Android lol:
