		<description><![CDATA[For about a year now, we&#8217;ve been having trouble with our otherwise trusty 11-year-old Honda Accord. On very rare occasions, it refused to crank when we tried to start it&#8230; It&#8217;s got a manual transmission, and it was acting exactly as it would have if we hadn&#8217;t stepped on the clutch: dead silence.

Here are a few of our favorites:

There was a LAN with a remotely-located (around 100 meters away) proxy server, and it worked intermittently.
