    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

    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.

    Ricers get reamed..... stupid street racing kids

    Such a shame; the pedestrian couple killed used to be neighbors of my co-worker. She knew about this because I guess her parents still maintained contact with the couple; people need to learn racing is for the tracks. =/

    What do you guys think about this home bar?

    Seems like a very good price for the quality/condition of the bar. I'd probably switch out the tops of the stools though, they're ....... interesting. :)

    ATOT Effect for a friend....

    Yah, the contest's choice of hosts is rather annoying, but it got a lot of attention, and the winner gets $25,000 and their short film on Spike TV, so it's a big thing.

    God in Schools

    I think all religions should be discussed in school. It doesn't matter my personal feelings on it, they're too large a part of the world we live in to ignore and pretend they dont exist. The only catch is that they would all have to be discussed equally, with no preference shown to any one...

    Video distortion

    Yeah, I added extra cooling into my case and my HDD are running quite cold now but the problem is still persisting. I was looking for an excuse to upgrade to a dx10 video card anyway, so I just ordered a 8800GTS and we'll see if that fixes it up. The problem greatly lessens when a desktop fan...

    Video distortion

    Recently I've been getting some problems with 3d distortions when running any sort of 3d accelerated game. It'll get some odd flickery artifacting and have things that look like long spikes or tears running out from stuff. It's prevelent sometimes in games like World of Warcraft, but shows up...
