Turbos you find in cars like the Civic operate between 180000 - 200000 RPM. But working at a rocket engine manufacture is more interesting.

There are games which have long recommended 32GiB, but primarily simulators.

This recommendation was targeted to gaming, not office work. And even for gaming, MSFT said 16GiB was good enough for most games.

Many modern cars do this due to how quiet ICE are now. Oftentimes the fake interior noise is awful. I pull the modules that inject the fake noise, it makes the interior much quieter. YMMV.

Civics are legos with extensive aftermarket support. Type-Rs are designed to be tracked (IIRC fastest FWD in NA). People often mod these to track better, and in JPN obviously mod them to drive them illegally on highways.
Civics, or more specifically the older naturally aspirated engines from Honda as a whole (including the F20C1 found in the S2000 AP1) are high-RPM engines, often revving to 8500-9000 RPM, which is going to be loud no matter what you do.
No, not all mods are designed to inflict something on someone else. Popular FL5 mods are designed around engine/oil cooling, brake capacity (prevent fading), and camber. Yes, you can get nuts with a racing-only, non-CARB DP or a non-valved exhaust, but that's a personal choice. Not every FL5 owner follows that ethos. But you can also go with a CARB-compliant DP, valved exhaust (OE is valved, many aftermarkets use valved exhausts), and even if you do a mid-pipe resonator delete, it's no louder than it's sister car, the Acura DE5, which doesn't even come with a mid-pipe resonator from the factory.
And yes, a modded FL5 is a ton more fun to drive than a non-modded one due to a single, hidden mod - replacing the suspension controller with one from a DE5 or from DSC makes the ride much smoother. Honda doesn't get everything 'right' (but they do get engines down pat).
Ofc, you do have fire-breathing 1000hp S2000s out there.

Stop posting such drivel. Do better than make HN into reddit. You can find people to complain on any topic. That doesn’t make it interesting enough to post here.

There isn't a source for it. Running SQL to sync Dynamics CRM contacts with Outlook was commonplace.
WinFS was no longer required due to market changes, beyond any engineering challenges. There was no need for WinFS when cloud storage came along, aka SkyDrive.
