  1. Yeah I must admit Dell's are expensive. But I get discount due to Dell supplying all the computer equipment for work (25,000 people worldwide :P). Though thankfully they didn't supply my workstation :)

    actually - I've been pretty happy with my last 2 dell boxes at work (apart from the buzzing noise the new one makes but that goes away if you kick it) I just think their TFT screens are shite and overpriced

  2. does anyone know how to get 3D max?

    download the demo from autodesk.com

    for legal free usage try to find a copy of Autodesk GMax. It's a free version that doesn't include the renderer but does have most of the polygon modelling tools (it's a bit out of date compared to max 2008 but the basics are there) and the interface is basically the same.

    that said - if you're wanting decent free modelling software the the PLE version of Maya is more up to date than GMAX and should be a lot easier to find (again - autodesk.com). You might also consider softimage XSI - there's a free version of XSI v4.2 for modding halflife 2 that came out with the game so you should still be able to find that.

    Max shits on all the others as far as modelling tools are concerned though :P

  3. i feel like a sell out i mailed her on facebook and said sorry for not sayin bye last night :( im back to square one! noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    you are gay :o (and not just cos you actually use facebook)

    Girls insinuate (imply) so much stuff, without you having to say anything. It can go from her talking about a sex education lesson to me wanting to have sex with her, an then to me thinking shes a whore with no respect for herself! Guess what? I didn't say a word about any of it, she just implied it to herself. f**king mentalist. Good job I'm not emotionally attached to this stupid bit of gash an can keep her wooly hat that I stole from her.

    Mat 1 - Stupid Gash 0

    you are not (Y)

  4. Tell you what is annoying. Every new member post contains "Check your spelling, read the rules and you'll be validated in no time!" usually 3 or 4 times...

    Argh!

    damn right - the only thing worse than an idiot new member is a helpful new member offering advice on quick validation.

    I got validated cos I slept with a mod - it's the only surefire way to get the job done fast

  5. one day, a mother is cleaning out her son's room when she comes across a bondage magazine. highly upset about this she decides to wait for her husband to come home. When she asks him: "what do you think we should do?" he replies: "well i dont think you should spank him..."

  6. You asked that in this thread... And got an answer. Yes, steeper head angles makes for faster steering but that doesn't really make much difference when all you're doing is hopping around. Steeper head angles are better on streetier frames IMO as they're more fun for front wheel/spinny things and the disadvantages (I.e. less good for taps/hooks) are less relevant on that kind of bike.

    your answer was better

    a half degree difference is surprisingly obvious - at least going between 74.5 and 75 on a bmx.

  7. headangle is about more than reach - you compensate for that by lengthening/shortening the front end - sharper angles mean faster steering

    Thats whiy im confused by the slack headangles on the czar etc - surely having more responsive steering would be a good thing for trials (isn't that the reason people like ashtons ?) .

  8. OK... interesting stuff, let's throw some more tests into the mix. Here's something I found about snowboarding...

    Cross your arms.

    Ok, which elbow is on top? Left? Ride regular.

    Right elbow? Ride goofy.

    Slide across the kitchen floor in your socks. Which foot first?

    Stand straight with your feet at shoulder width. Have someone push you square in the chest... which foot do you put back to balance yourself?

    The last one I think could have a lot to do with trials. As you're on your back wheel often... you might use your more stable foot/leg to balance yourself on the bike?

    I'm right handed, I kick a ball with my right foot. I ride right foot forward... fair enough. When folding my arms, my left elbow is on top. When pushed backwards I put my left foot back (which fits with this theory!) and I slide across the floor right foot forward (fits as well).

    Do these tests work for anyone else?

    Fyfey :turned:

    right handed, right footed generally, right elbow on top, right foot forward on a bike, left foot forward on skateboards etc. didn't have anyone brave enough to push me

    I'm a bit odd then

    eskimo are a sillyman .

    you hold your fork in your left hand so you can use your good hand for wielding the knife

  9. christ, the fat laptop was intended as a joke but if you look at the cost of the big macbook pro it seems it wasnt that much of a joke at all.

    I wouldn't buy one like that personally - That sort of money gets you a proper computer with an 8 core Xeon, 16GB o Ram , SAS hard drives (look it up) and a quadroFX5600 with 1.5GB o memory on it

    mac users are fun - I'll stop now

  10. Pish Posh! Macs only have two known viruses, and they're almost impossible to get :P;)

    ....which is nearly double the number of available applications to run on it. Still, if you insist on paying out vast sums of money for a substandard PC running a crippled version of freeBSD with a shite GUI that's your business.

    back to the original point...

    laptops are generally a bit gay if you want to do any serious work, if you want it for web browsing, looking at pictures, writing documents etc. just invest in a decent screen and a massive hard drive above all other features, anything Vista capable will handle your day to day music/photo/porn needs very comfortably.

    Don't buy one for playing games - you're better off getting a 350 quid laptop for porn and putting the rest of the money into a desktop for the games - at least you can upgrade the bugger later on.

    Don't buy one for video editing - the disks are too slow

    Don't buy one for serious photoshoppery - the disks are too slow

  11. Found out my feelings for my gf have changed :( .dont really want them to but they have .

    i know people are going to say ohh dave stick with her she is gawjus bla bla bla...but i dont think i can if my feelings are not what they used to be...

    just feel a bit strange and have no one to talk to at the mo about it:(

    dave

    changed how?

    bored? shag someone else - nothing like a little guilt to spice things up :D

  12. em is relative to the size of the font inside that object.

    People use it for elastic layouts, and to make font sizing work in IE6, and add's about a week of development time onto a normal pixel cut-up site.

    oh right - that'll be why it confused me.

    what happens if you set the font size and parent element size in em ? my head hurts. I'll go back to building my parametric 3d character creation tool...

  13. Any chance you could post the html?

    does he not need to set an explicit pixel/percentage height for the div? I thought em was one of the weird ones that pissed you about.

    oh, DX image filters let you scale images in CSS but won't work on firefox or any of the other gay browsers

    I'm glad I gave up web development - it's a pain in the arse

  14. no, petes holey bike was shit, im pretty sure i heard it broke in half first ride

    well yeah , contrary to popular belief making holes in things (titanium or otherwise) doesn't make them stronger

    this frame's mental. I think CNCing it is cheating though - you should mill it all out of a solid block by hand really :D
