  1. Youtube videos don't really need converting. If you can find a way to download them, they will play in VLC as they are (in flv format). That's where this site comes in. If you copy the youtube code that's at the end of the URL (E.g. WRVrZT7P2b4) and paste it in the search box, press enter, and you can click the arrow to download the flv. http://ytpocket.com/
  2. Yo momma's so fat, when she wants someone to shake her hand, she has to give directions!
  3. I'm tempted just to try Ubuntu for that effect thing. But I've never found virtual desktops to be that much use, I've tried them in the past but never got the hang of switching screens. Much easier to alt-tab through the open programs. Looks cool though
  4. It was tomturd who borked it, not me!
  5. Is there any clever way of cleaning my mac's keyboard. It's a silver Powerbook (like the Macbook Pro's but older for those who don't know) and it's about 2 years old. Basically it's looking really dirty now from daily use, often (like now) with filthy hands. I can't just wash it, and I can't really scrub the keys without causing damage. I don't think the keys/keyboard come off, either. Ideas?
  6. Full outer is not the one for rear V-brakes. Maybe with some fancy cable (I don't know about that), but with a normal cable it feels horrible.
  7. Too right. I might warn some of you. Haven't decided yet.
  8. Nooo, don't change it, that looks really nice!
  9. So we could laugh at them behind their back?
  10. Yeah, the server keeps the original copy AND makes a new file to run in the flash player. But the original isn't in an 'unpublic' directory - you can download the file very easily so it's quite 'public'

    F1

    This is totally stupid. F1 teams with hundreds of people and loads of equipment fly all around the world in order to drive a car for hours without going anywhere. Not to mention thousands of spectators who drive / fly to each race. Trying to 'go green' is just plain retarded.
  12. You're right. Muel seems to have an unhealthy obsession with Onza-bashing.
  13. Top right of the screen (under '0 new messages'), click options, and change the view to standard. It's been perhaps slightly slower than usual here, but nothing to write home about. Certainly no blank pages or failed to load etc.

    Revision

    Post porn so you get yourself banned from TF. That usually frees up a lot of time for revision (I'm being serious by the way - if anyone wants a ban, gimme a shout )
  15. Well yes, but the shell, being aluminium rather than steel, will expand more so it should work in theory.

    Global Warming

    The Earth is basically on a knife edge with regards to temperatures - Any slight change can spiral into something huge. Are our actions making a difference to the rate this is happening? Who knows, but when the stakes are as high as literally ending the world, is that a risk we should be taking?! On the other hand: It's my parents' wedding anniversary today, they got married 28 years ago today. And apparently it was snowing then, too. So there's obviously no such thing as climate change

    Er, wut? I think I know what you're trying to say, but the whole 'end of bars bending upwards' thing seems really unnatural to me. But just do what feels right.
  18. Yeah, I think your video is a bit of an odd one - it plays really jerky for me (see the other thread) and it looks 'squashed' in places. I reckon you've used some funny compression? But I'm not an expert on videos at all. By the way - with trialstube you can still download the full quality video using the download link (and play in VLC/Windows Media Player) - that should look exactly the same as the video you uploaded. So there's no point resorting to ISG for that.
  19. It's kinda funny. But all the jokes, are not. Also it's old, someone had it as their avatar for ages.

    El Mulio

    Do you know what's annoying? People just writing 'in' for topics they know are going to be closed. (I deleted them by the way)
  21. I've got Formula K18s on my mountain bike and I'm not that impressed to be honest. They've got a kind of spongy-ish feel (yeah, they're bled correctly before anyone says) which you may or may not like, and the power isn't as good as, say, a BB7 / Juicy or Hope trials (although this is only a 160). There's no 'bite' either, and the build quality is... average. I know this isn't very positive and perhaps that's not fair - they're decent enough but I wouldn't use it on my trials bike. Not sure about the K24s, perhaps they're loads better?! Either way, far better than anything made by Hayes
  22. It's being pretty weird for me. This video is really jerky for the first 55 seconds, then it plays as it should. Once the 55 seconds is up, I can skip back to the start and it plays fine. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ails&id=768 This one plays fine from the start: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ails&id=276 It seems much improved since I updated Safari - before this, hardly any videos worked on Trialstube. In fact that Onza one (The first link ^^) seems to be the only one I'm having difficulties with now, I've just tried about 10 videos and they all work fine.
