A trigger can easily be set up, on most weapons, even my cheapy air rifle allows you to do it, so that you barely have to touch the trigger to set the gun off.
Firstly, I don't know anything about guns. But from what you said, it sounds like you could set up your air rifle to be as easy as theirs is to shoot? So you could film yourself squeezing the trigger 6 times in 1.03 seconds?
Ive fired competition rifles that you literally stroke against the trigger to fire the thing.And if not, you might be able to get access to the competition air rifle again?
Also, he definitely does fire the 6 shots in under 3 seconds (as far as I can tell anyway), that's me timing the video with my PC's clock (try it, a second is actually fairly long...). Don't you think all these officials might be a bit more accurate than some guy watching a video streamed over the internet?
Anyway I say well done to the guy, I know for a fact I couldn't do that, and if you (andy) manage to do it aswell, then I'll also be impressed and say well done to you.

Got my 'Techno' the other day (it's shit, get a pro). But yeah I just got 11,805! And my mate just got 14,004. I'm sure it's just nackered...
EDIT: OK after just watching that world record vid I've come to the conclusion that mine is indeed f**ked. Didn't make a noise anything like that! Ah well

Another question... can a candle burn in space? Give reasons. There is oxygen in the space shuttle.
Work this one out people! Physics teacher was on about this a while ago, dont think we ever worked it out properly., So yeah...what happens?!

MrMonkey. Read some quantum physics theories. It was been proved in electron tunnels that electrons, protons and neutrons can break up into their component parts, hence something as "solid" as a wall could be penetrable by these smaller "particles".
Also, please remember that atoms are mainly empty space, and that successful teleportation of photons has been achieved. Both of these factors could form some scientific reasoning. The evolution of our knowledge of particle behavior is constantly throwing up new theories.
Those are the exact two examples I was gonna say - things that we would definitely have though of as being 'impossible' a few years ago, but like with most things in science some new idea comes along and soon enough it will probably seem 'normal'.
I'm not trying to say that either of those have anything to do with ghosts as I'm sure giptown isn't, I'm just trying to make the point that you can't assume we know everything and immedaitely say something is bullshit, just because some theories might go against it.
As our physics teachers are always saying, physics theories don't tell us WHAT happens - they're mainly just ideas which happen to be able to predict and explain things which do happen.

Just picked up local newspaper to have a look at car ads, and came across this:
Mini, K reg, 1275 carb, 10 months MOT, red, white stripes + roof, excellent condition, one old lady owner, 37000 miles, all reciepts/MOT's etc, brand new stainless steel exhaust, £1150 ono
Now to me that sounds like an awesome deal going on most of the other minis I've seen for sale (e.g. just above it in the paper there was a G-reg Mini City for the same price, £1150 with no mention of excellent condition or anything)
So yeah, anyone's views on this would be great, am I right in thinking it's a good deal?
Cheers

I'm thinking of doing the same (still got my trusty free 3310 but its starting to get a bit sensitive in its old age :lol: )
But yeah O2 seem to do the best deal for me (wanting the same as you - more texts than minutes). It's called 'Online 50', cost £19 a month for 500 texts and 50 anytime minutes, plus free phone obviously - click here
Only bad thing is, they don't do the phone I want at the moment.
Oh and I think, going on the name anyway, you have to buy it online - the High Street ones all seem more expensive.
Hope that helps

Ok sounds a simple enough question I know, but....
I've got a really small image, and need to make it bigger. But without loosing the quality. It's fairly simple, only black & white (as in, one shade of black - simple blocks of colour), so I've started vectorizing it (tracing over it in Illustrator). But I was talking to my art teacher the other day and he said there's some way in Photoshop (CS) to enlarge pics without losing much quality? Someething about photoshop being able to 'guess' where missing pixels should go (he was teaching another class at the time so didn't get chance to actually show me)?? Can't say I know anything about this, so I was just wondering if any of you knew how this is done?
Cheers

I don't know too much about cameras, but my mate has got this - Nikon Coolpix 3200 - and any pictures taken with it have always looked pretty good to me.
Well, he's actually got a Coolpix 3100, but the 3200 replaces it so I presume its even better.
Add me to msn (gplatt2000@hotmail.com) and I can send you some photos taken with it if that's any help.
Also, I'd definitely recommend Pixmania - reall cheap, and anything I've bough from there has been deliered quicker than they said (glad I didnt pay extra for 'next day delivery' as it came next day anyway)

also seem to remeber that didn't actually work on its own: for some weird reason, it only made a difference if I removed the tag at the very start of the code, which Dreamweaver automatically puts in. So yeah check to see you dont have this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
and if you do, delete it! From the page which the ifram is on, and the page which the ifram has displayed in it.
-
Yeah I set it to 'no' for when I didn't want it- but most ofthe time I did want vertical scrolling, just not horizontal - although having it as 'auto' should mean that, as long as the content is small enough, there would be no scrolling anyway.
I think.
-
I had the same problem aswell, but cant remeber exactly how I fixed it.
I know the first thing was to check that the page displayed in the frame had no margins/borders or anything, so the <body> tag was like this:
<body bgcolor="#000000" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
This might also help - the code for my iframe:
<iframe width="375" height="291" scrolling="auto" marginheight="2" marginwidth="0" border="0" frameborder="0" src="gigscontent.htm">
Think the 'margin...' parts could be the importaint bits?

Hope some of that's of use to you :turned:

Sooo hard to resist temptation of a gap year traveling!
(btw how do I make a link to the full size image? Do i need to have it uplaoded on my own host cos TF seems to resize it itself) -
Thanks a lot, that seems to have worked, hopefully now I might remeber when exams are...

OK Cheers Tom, think I'll give Outlook a go.
but when I look in RegEdit, I don't seem to have the 'MinToTray' entry? Also when I try what that website says, I'm confused - it says 'right click on the outlook icon in the system tray' - but isn't the whole point of what it's telling me to do to get it to minimize there?? I'm probably justbeing stupid but I can't din what it seems to be talking about anyway. Any ideas?
(I've got OUtlook 2002 btw)
Thanks again

Yeah I've got Outlook, I might have a look at that, but really I'd like something that's always on the desktop - so I'm actually always reminded about things. I've tried installing the MOzilla Calendar but can't seem to get it to work (downloaaded the .xpi file but dont have a clue how to then open it (Y) ), but again, I'd rather have soemthing that lives on the desktop if possible....
-
I'm looking for some sort of free calendar program for Windows - something where its just a calendar, but you can add reminders for eah day (something like on a phone).
Would also be nice if it was a Widget so I could have it on my desktop (using Konfabulator atm, and I like the look of the calendar with that, but want to be able to add reminders to each day, which I can then view if I click on that day...)
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Cheers for the replies, found out it was actually just cos my Bookmarks Toolbar was empty, so I've got rid of it and all seems well now :(
Thanks again

Nope, not that I know of anyway! Nah I don't, plus it's only started when I switched to Firefox (i.e. when I first opened Firefox after installing it, the 'Firefox Start' page was going crazy too)
It's really annoying, just the way it starts and stops. I've realised it seems to do it when you have an extra toolbar (so when the area the page is displayed in changes) - like this page was fine until I opened up a new tab and the tabs toolbar came up. Then I close the other tab, expecting it to go back to normal - but it doesn't. But if I press F11, it stops - until I press F11 again :(
Thanks again
-
Ok after everyone's opinions on Firefox I thought I'd give it a go - and I'm impressed! Defintely want to keep it instead of IE.
BUT there's one kimnnda big problem - a lot of the time, the page I'm on will just decide to start shaking around - its weird to explain, but it's like I'm scrolling up/down really quickly, so it just vibrates up n down :(
It doesnt do it on every page, and its not on specific pages - e.g. this page now is shaking about, but a few mins ago it wasnt :)
Any ideas why it might be/how to stop it?
Cheers

Yeah jobs in pubs, cafes etc, always gonna be easy to get, just ask around

I wouldn't necesseraly (no idea how you spell that!) say that you're better off building your own - it doesn't always work out cheaper, and you don't have any warranties etc. Although it is a good way to learn more, and may save you money.
I'd say definitely have a look at Aires - you can configure your own system exactly how you want it, and they seem really good value - I just worked one out for a system exactly like yours for £820 (with no monitor).
BUT what I would say is maybe think about only getting some parts from there - say CPU, motherboard, memory... Then buy your own GFX Card, DVD Burner etc as they can be found cheaper elsewhere - although again, its worth the extra £2 or so you end up paying (when you consider adding postamge costs on buying from lots of other places for other components) as it saves you a lot of hassle. Just have a look round basically!
One other thing - I don't really know too much about computers, so correct me if I'm wrong, but is the P4 3.6Ghz REALLy worth the extra £100 you pay for the 3.4?? You could put the 100 to use on a better gfxcard, bigger hd, more ram, bigger monitor, better sound etc..
Hope some of that's of help,
Gavin
How To Make 'rollover Popups' ?
in Chit Chat
Posted
Don't really know how to explain what I'm meaning so I guess the best way is to show you an example:
http://www.cyphermusic.net/bands/forums/in...hp?showforum=65
When you roll the mouse over the differnt thread titles, a pop-up box appears, showing details of the first post within that thread.
I'd like to use this in a slightly differnt way - I have lots of small preview thumbnails for a gallery, and want a pop-up to display the full image if the pointer rolls over the thumbnail. Is this possible? And if so, how? I'm guessing you can;t do it in HTML, so I'm thinking something to do with Java? (OK I really don't have a clue how so don't know why I'm trying to guess..)
Any help would be great, and sorry for not describing it too well, please let me know if you don't understand what I mean fully.
Cheers
