    USB 3.0 card advice

    I have a small western digital hard drive that uses USB 3.0. My computer doesn't have any USB 3.0 ports so I've been using 2.0. I seem to be out of ports and thought it would make sense to add some 3.0 ports instead of more 2.0. I found two cards on amazon that look promising one non-powered...

    coax cable for cable modem?

    I went to Fry's and found the cable shown below. It says it's for satellite but after looking around a little online it seems that RG6 is pretty much standard. Will I have any issues using this cable? (aside from 50 ft not being long enough to reach my cable modem). Any advice about which...

    was trying to watch a video linked linked here and get the message "flash required". From Adobe's website it looks like I'm out of luck. Or, is there some work-around that I could use?

    Traffic school eligibility

    A "friend" of mine got a speeding ticket (22350; 50 mph in a 35) a few weeks ago on Alhambra Ave in Martinez. The courtesy notice is sitting at home on my desk so I don't recall the exact wording of the note but to paraphrase it says that she is not allowed to take traffic school because they...

    FS: aftermarket fairing for early 90's EX500

    asking price $20. Not sure why anyone would want this (or why I still have it). But, I have a Lockhart lower fairing for a 92 (or so) EX500. It's got some scratches on one side but is intact - nothing broke when it slid through the gravel. I also have a bag that I believe contains the mounting...

    how does the CVC define a "turn"?

    from another thread: location: San Francisco, SB Battery at Bush. Are you allowed to "turn" left from Battery onto Battery (?) when there's a red light? I assume you can but I never actually see anyone do it. I estimate the turn angle to be 35 or 40 degrees and approaching the intersection...
