    1 processor or 2?

    I'm planning on putting together a Linux box out of some old parts I have lying around. My question is which would give me better performance, dual PII-300's or a single PII-400? I realize they're both antiques, but I'm not planning on using the thing for AotoCAD or video editing (obviously)...

    Regulator/rectifier for CBR929

    Anybody have an extra one of these sitting around? Even if I can just borrow it for testing purposes, that would be helpful. But I'd be happy to buy it if it solves my problem.

    New trailer floor

    I just wanted to show off my new floor that Harpo installed for me. He did a fantastic job and the price was very reasonable. If you're in the market for a floor, PM him for a price. He does all kinds of flooring, not just trailers. Thanks, Joe :thumbup

    Any BARFers into kart racing?

    I just got a 125cc shifter kart and could use an experienced karter to "show me the ropes". It would be cool just to meet other people with the same interest so I don't always have to go by myself, too.

    Welding questions

    How can I check if a part is chrome moly? If it is chrome moly, what shielding gas, filler rod, etc. should I use? Are there different alloys that require different filler rods?

    Sobering video

    I think it unfairly demonizes motorcycles, but the video is pretty well-made. Sorry if it's a repost. video

    Stupid IE6 question

    When I click on a link (like a link to a BARF thread in my web mail), it opens a little tiny browser window. How do I make it open a full-sized window instead? I know there has to be a setting for it somewhere, but I'm not seeing it. Maximizing the window every time is starting to get old. I'm...

    Internal wi-fi question

    I installed an internal wi-fi card in my laptop, but one of the two antenna wires is not long enough to reach the connector on the card, so I am using only one. Is there such a thing as a short extension for the antenna wire? It appears to be really small coax cable, so soldering a piece into it...

    FTP questions

    What would it take to set up an FTP server on my home machine? Does it need to be a dedicated machine? A separate HD partition? Just a folder? What software would I need? Is this a bad idea from a security standpoint? I just want to be able to share videos, etc. that are too big to email. Is...

    Good local shop(East Bay)?

    Where's a good place to get my valves checked/adjusted that's relatively local to either home (Danville) or work (Pleasanton)? I don't necessarily want to pay dealer labor rates.

    Just when you thought you'd seen it all...

    Yesterday, I saw an ATV (looked like a Yamaha Raptor, but I'm not sure) with a single rear wheel. CRUISING DOWN THE FREEWAY! :wow I didn't get a very good look because I was going the other direction, but it looked pretty cool. Does anybody know this guy? How did he manage to get license plates...

    WTB: Good, reliable 600cc starter bike

    I have a friend who is looking to buy his first bike and he'd like to get a decent 600 or maybe an EX500. Maximum budget is about $3K. A few minor scrapes and such are ok, but he needs something he can ride without having to put a bunch of work or money into. Anybody have anything fitting that...
