    It's official... I want a motorcycle.

    Check out Total Motorcycle, they have a lot of very knowledgeable and helpful people there. I picked up a used Ninja 250 last spring, and I'd say it's easily one of the best bikes to start on. -It handles very well, so is more forgiving of mistakes. -While it doesn't have that much power...

    2.5" HDD to a IDE

    Hey all, just had a quick question regarding connecting a 2.5" laptop hard drive to a desktop via a 40->44 pin converting unit. I have it hooked up and it will show on the bios and will show up as a drive when I boot into windows. As soon as I click on it, however, it just hangs and will...

    Netflix to Offer Unlimited Streaming Movies (starts 1/14)

    You can just use the IE tab addon for Firefox and it'll work just fine. Watched a couple ep. of Voltron (which I think is a show that the remembering is better then the rewatching :P )

    poor Halo 3 packaging leads to scratched discs

    Well crap, guess I'll have to pop mine open in the store and check to make sure there're no scratches. Pretty lame on their part.

    RIP Robert Jordan

    This seriously is putting a damper on my day. I'd met the man a couple times within the last few years and he was a lot of fun to talk to. He never got the huge ego from being insanely popular and was quite happy to talk to anyone who approached him. RIP Robert Jordan :beer:

    Idea: Garage door opener as a sliding gate opener

    It seems like it should work just fine. Just have to take care to keep it protected from the elements like you said.

    Thinking about getting a sport bike...

    I actually just picked up an '03 Nina 250 about two weeks ago and am loving it. I previously took the MCSF safety class and picked up my class M license shortly after. Looking back it would have been horrible to try and get a bike without taking the safety class, I'd never wridden a...

    Do you use the toilet seat cover/protectors in public bathrooms?

    I try to avoid any sitting things in public restrooms, but if it's just not gonna wait I'll use the seat covers or toilet paper.

    Question about credit card accounts ...

    Having them open can hurt you if/when you apply for a loan or anything like that. If they run a credit check on you, those other open accounts could hurt you if they're looking at total credit you could max out.
