What kind of torch has a HDMI connection?

http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/multicore-industrial-cable/7404544/ This is all I could find on this website with 4 cores and a drain wire in this size - and it's not cheap! £140 for 50m. You can get much cheaper, but at the 4.5mm mark again

Yeah, I'm also signing up to be a guinea pig in your trials run.

You appear to be having some problems filling out your casts. There's a couple of things I'd maybe suggest for next time; heating your mould before pouring next time might be the most successful option, followed by trying to increase the fluidity of your chocolate, though this might affect the final finish. If you're still having problems you might have to think about adding pressure to your moulding processes.

She's having a proper good look round isn't she? It's not even that she knows you've got something she wants, she just wants to know if you do. Looks like a fanny too.

I don't know how much control you have over the web design, but I like the current carousel implementation. As a browsing customer if I was flicking through a number of people, the carousel is a nice, easy way to flick through a couple of pictures and see what you're about. But then, if you do want a more in depth look, you're very very stuck. What I was looking for was a button to expand the carousel into a thumbnail gallery, which could be a nice compromise between the two ideas.

Well that'll do nicely for the future, cheers men I was looking for a keyboard shortcut, but couldn't find it - though I was looking specifically for a shortcut to remove hyperlinks

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I've been trying to get Word to stop writing everything as a continuation of the last hyper link to absolutely no avail. Full stops, new lines, new paragraphs etc etc. It turns out it wasn't actually writing everything as a hyperlink, it just decided I'd like to continue with it's formatting of blue, underlined writing I wish I could physically slap Word.

Was that a joke, or were they being serious?

Yeah, thinking about it, I can mentally see every time I've switched to high beams, and can picture the dipped turning off. I just think these are the narrowest high beams I've used; when I hold both high and dipped lights on, it's the kind of illumination I'm used, to so it had me questioning their normal behaviour!

Car forum, I have a question for you! After spinning my golf off the road and killing the poor little bugger, I've got my hands on a little 05 Fiesta runabout. Obligatory awful phone photo: Question is, I feel like the headlights are being a bit funny. When dipped, you pull the stalk back halfway to hold the high beams on, and then pull all the way to toggle the high beams on. When the high beams are held, both the dipped and high beams are on, but when toggled, the dipped beams turn off and the high beams stay on. Is that normal? It seems to me that every other car I've been in, both the dipped and high beams will be on. Either that, or these high beams are quite narrow and don't illuminate much vertically.

What an insane German. I'd like to see just how many things break at once on that if you stack it hard

Nothing mindless about it. Those assholes stole his car.

I think this is it really. Back when I started riding trials and joined this forum (2003!) the entire internet revolved around message boards. If you were looking to find people with a common interest as you, you'd have to look for an appropriate message board, or try and find these people in person. Likewise, if you wanted to find 'How-To's' you'd come to a message board and someone there would have typed one up, or the community would know of the otherwise obscure website to go to. But now everything can be quickly done over Facebook and YouTube, and if people still can't find what they need, I bet the majorette of new web users don't even know what a forum is. And remember back before YouTube, before Google Video, in the days of eengoedidee and Trials-Shack? The internet was spread about, but now, you can be sure everything this forum used to do can be done by Facebook and YouTube. BOTI used to be my go-to source for hilarious web content, but now it's all on Facebook and I'll probably scroll past it all at some point now.

*sigh I've not had experience with magnet therapy myself, nor laser therapy, but it sounds like a load of alternative medicine bullshit to me. Magnets have largely f**k all to do with your body, so let's leave that there. And lasers aren't magic either. What's a laser supposed to be doing for you? The best I could imagine would be localised heating via lasers in the infrared spectrum, but they wouldn't really penetrate too well and the heat would quickly be dispersed into the rest of your body making them probably less useful than hot/cold therapy.

Is it just me that thinks the weirdest thing here is that this fella with the CCTV checks it everyday even though nothing's happened? Seriously though, yeah, that's some superb timing on your part. I'm just glad he wasn't a proper nutter that was armed or anything

What are the chances... Ah well, I've got a replacement on the way already. Cheers though

If anyone knows of someone scrapping a (red) Mk4 Golf I'll happily take it off their hands. My car's started eating itself over the past month and now has a growing list of qualms. And I can add quite a major one to the list now. Just went to have a look and it turns out the knocking and bad handling coming from the front end is being caused by the offside spring deciding it's had enough

Well, you b*****d. You've just made me feel very bad about my 250L. I need to change the red up a bit it would seem!

Just needed a black and white segment in it, and it would have been as cringe worthy as the videos Danny Kearns used to release

I must admit, I was too tired to read everything the first couple of times I posted, but froggy was definitely chasing the wrong numbers. I like your approach to the numbers - nice and simple and I can see what you mean by Vy=0 and Sx=18 not really conveying much, but I suppose that's just a shorthand/quick'n'easy way of writing Vy(t/2) = 0 and Sx(t/2) = 18 and obviously the time histories for these are the two equations we've used; Vy(t)=Uy(t) + 0.5a(t)t and Sx(t)=Ux(t)t and that's more accurately what you've done in your working. I was just cheating and taking a shortcut in the working because we know the trajectory is symmetric. I hope you've got this covered now froggy

In my mind, the horizontal displacement is an essential constraint for the launch velocity and the most logical number to work with. Sx = Ux*t ==> t =Sx / Ux ==> t= Sx / Ucos30 Vy=Uy + at = Usin30 + (-9.81)t = Usin30 - 9.81t = 0 ==> U/2 - 9.81t = 0 ==> U = 19.62t U = 19.62*(Sx / Ucos30) ==> U2 = 19.62*18/cos30 U=20.19ms-1 All done using two equations and two minutes of your time? And the last part is essentially a rearranging of the direct in vacuo equation; Range = V2sin(2*theta)/g. Using that as a starting point is the only quicker way I see to do this, so I am intrigued how you'd approach this.

Oh aye, it was the end of a long week. Froggy, you can't map the displacements on a right angled triangle because of the deceleration in the vertical plane. All you can do is map the initial velocities, U, Ux and Uy onto the triangle with a 30° launch angle. Then you can gather the correct equations for solving, because you know that Ux and Uy are linked, because when Sx = 18, Vy = 0.

I'm sure you've sorted this I haven't read through this but it looks right. From here, finish the velocity triangle. 14.3ms-1 initial velocity in the vertical; launch V = 14.3/sin(30) = 28.6ms-1. Then you can check this answer. Work back the time taken for the projectile to reach it's apex, then multiply that with the initial horizontal velocity ( 28.6cos(30) ). This will give you the horizontal travel from launch to apex, which should be half of the total travel (18m in this case).
