The problem is, I can't tell whether you're joking.
Thank you good sir, this is how I know I succeeded at sarcasm.
I ignored it as I knew from past experience, that this car had no major problems.
I am with you, the other day I was patching mission-critical server when I noticed SMART errors. I ignored it, as I know from past experiences that this server had no major problems.
At some point, at above 90% load the server started random kernel panics. Any lower load than that would be without any problems. I decided to have sysadmin check it out. He wanted $480 for a new hard disk. Without fixing, this "server would permanently lose data one day" he said.
Well, stubborn as I am, I ignored his advice. I added couple months on it without any problems at all. When it kernel panics, I would just reboot it...At one time, I thought my reset button may be dirty - it wasn't.
If this works really well, then war and/or genocide will be the only way to keep population down. The alternative to death from the old age is much more uglier.
HOLY MACRO!
