I just bought a new TV and a new computer (Dell 9000). TV has a PC in. They are in the same room but 20 feet apart. I want to watch video files on the TV (from the computer). If I run a cable through the attic I need like, 100 feet. Cable/video seems to be very expensive at that length (and impossible to find). If I understand, wireless is not an option. What to do? OR, where can I find computer video cable at that length?

If I buy a Worm Gear Box with motor. The 2 selectable gear ratios are: 216.1:1 and 336.1:1. And it operates at 4.5V DC. 15100 RPM...

How many rotations per minute is that? I'm looking for about 10RPM per minute

I'm thinking of buying a Worm Gear motor/Box 216.1:1 and 336.1:1...

Only problem is, I don't know how many rotations per minute/second that is.

also, "Planetary Gear Box Set 16:1 to 400:1" Looking to build a mobile for my baby --- and don't want to send the stuffed animals into orbit.

I want to make a baby mobile to hang from the ceiling. Probably to run off a small battery. It needs to spin slowly. Where can I buy a small motor for this?

If the max 401(k) is 15,500. And the 457 max is also 15,500... And I do both plans in one year... is the max for the two combined 31,000 or 15,500?

My wife is 15 weeks pregnant with our fisrt child. We live in Sonoma county California. Mostly, I wonder where we can get baby clothes, stroller, crib, ect (I'm still trying to figure out what "ect." might be). Where do I start?

Shops? Magazines? Web sites? Anything helps!

I've been told that I can't eat shellfood /seafood because I'm pregnant. True?

I just upgraded my cable - I like the design shows they have on... not the 'how to purchase/sell/flip/appraise' shows. I like the home improvement/gardening/ect. stuff. Anyway, I watch about 1 hour of TV MAXIMUM in a day. I'd like to start timer recording something. Suggestions?

It's a 1900 sq. ft. single story home on Sonoma County CA, Basic square shape, not very steep.

I'm young(ish) and plan to rip the old wood shingles off myself to save on costs.

I just need a basic ball park number.

Also, it noes not leak, but the wood shingles are curling upward and the house is starting to look line a pine cone. A friend told me it's "normal" and "does not need to be replaced... the shingles will flatten out in the winter with moisture." I'm afraid it's going to catch fire. (and it looks ugly) Who's right?

Consumer Reports 08/07 reviews counter tops... but mentions nothing of Corian (what I've been considering). Can anyone answer, how does Corian stack up against other tops? (Quartz, Granite, ect?)

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ANSWERING:

For long term OR for short term... A loan salesman told me an interest only loan is better than a traditional one.

He said that if I take the difference in payments (interest only being cheaper; monthly) and add that to my payment, I'll have paid off more in principal in 5 years.

i.e. $2K a month interest only vs $3K a month traditional. Take that $1K a month in difference and USE IT ... apply it to paying down the principal on the interest only... and in 5 years I will have paid off more principal on the home than with a traditional mortgage. And I could refinance/sell/whatever and be in a better financial position.

So, after 5 years with interest only, paying an aditional $1K a month for principal, I will have paid off $60,000 of principal.

Even if I refinance, the loan amount will be $60K less, therefore, a lower monthly payment.

***YOURE ANSWER SHOULD FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE LOGIC***

I'm driving from SF to Yosemite. Wondering where I can stop along the way for other fun/touristy things to do... even restaurants, whatever.

it's a 4+hour drive. I need breaks.

For my wife and I, both in late 20's.

My question, is there a flaw with this logic that I'm overlooking?

I need a penal code or something, For California. Where "Minor" is defined.

I had a guy try to ID himself with a British Drivers License. there was no picture on it. It was not laminated. But it looked official; had a seal, multi-colored, ect.

A link to an image of a British DL would be helpful. Better would be a link to images of foreign DL's.

Two lights are on on the motherboard but the computer wont boot/start/whatever.

It's been an ongoing problem for the last month. Only, it would turn on eventually. Sometimes hitting the power button every few minutes and eventually it would start. Sometimes it would start up to 3 minutes after I hit the power switch. But I always got it to start. Now, today, 12 hours and it wont start.

I switched the wires (power-restart) and got the same effect.

I'm going to buy a new motherboard. Thinking, the lights on the motherboard come on so the power supply must be working. Could I be wrong?

Sonoma County California.

I've been told, since I'm a potential 'first time home buyer' that I can get a great deal via a 'program'. However, it appears easier to buy crack on a street corner than to get any details. Anyone?

Everyone I know from LA to San Francisco to Sacramento is pointing fingers saying the decreasing housing values are "not here". So, where is California's bubble city?

My friend is buying a home. He's young, on a new job, and his credit score is 680 or so. would a bank consider this guy to be "subprime" material?

I just bought an '07 civic. I'm at 2,000 miles and my oil is at 70%. Will this meter go down to zero before I need to change the oil? Also, how many miles are people typically getting before needing an oil change (according to the meter)?
