  1. Thank you very, very much. That's brilliant. This topic can now be closed. Damn quick answer, too. Lots of pictures in Google images when you know the name of what you're looking for. Otherwise it's impossible.
  2. Does this thing have a proper name? As described to me: the bumpers come off, then a cross piece is bolted in their place front and rear. They have a bit sticking out of the centre which fits into these things and allows you to turn the car upside down to work conveniently on the bottom. I haven't got a picture of that but you can try and imagine it with this random car and the pieces where they are supposed to be. I never imagined a car being worked on like that.... is someone having me on? PS [edit] I imagine some sort of lift to put it in place. If anyone has a picture of an upside down car in one of this sort of thing I would love to see it.
  3. I have a TRV-310E - I think - which is very similar. You learn to love the zoom because modern camcorders seem to top out about 10x. My only problem is that I have to keep the thing now if I ever want to view what is on the tapes unless I find them all and move them onto DVD or DV tape. I wasn't a "shoot it, transfer it immediately and record over" user. The main thing I'm wondering is: are you sure it does 16:9 widescreen? Also, it may be one fromt he time when a camcorder with digital in AND digital out was taxed more than a camcorder with just digital out, so a lot of camcorders just had digital out. Mine does. This is only important if you want to export it, edit it and put the edited result back on your tape. When you're buying tapes, if you buy Hi8 the 60 minute ones only last 45 minutes in a D8 camcorder. Get Digital8 ones unless you're OK with that. The ten hour battery is excellent. You'd be using the eyepiece for that length of time. If you used the screen it'd be 2-3 hours So, just a few things to think about

    Samsung D600

    If you've only got the .jar files you can make .jad files that you need to install them with 'jad wizard' (search google).
  5. I recently got a Samsung 815 Pro for just over 300 quid. 15x zoom and 8MP. You don't need a changeable lens with that. It's a good lens but the camera as a whole is VERY BIG. I'm still learning the fine points, though. I got it from a local shop second hand but there are some on Ebay. About the only downside I haven't been bothered to look at the manual for an answer to is that it only films for 30 seconds max. My wife's dinky Digimax will film forever, up to the limit of the card, if you let it. The 2GB card on her camera probably means a few days of film. It's not bad quality either, for what it is. Only other observation: get a camera that films AVI, not MOV like my last camera. MOV is crap. In my opinion.
  6. Cole2k codec pack is good by me

    The Bell Law

    I couldn't be bothered reading about it but maybe I will later Daily Mail: £2,500 - As Labour targets cycle safety, the huge fines serial offenders could face for not having a bell Have a gander at this too: Helmet-wearing cyclists more likely to be knocked down

    Baby Names

    Have fun. Last five years top 100 boys names Last five years top 100 girls names and from 1960 onwards so you can check out the old top tens It changes after a few seconds to some Amazon page but you hit the back button to have a look. There are some names that have completely slipped off the list in recent years (Philip/David/Andrew/Mark?). I'm not sure what happened about 20 years ago but these days every third 20 year old male seems to be called Ryan. Try not to pick something that will make people think you hated the child from the off. And nothing in the top twenty either. My unhelpful offering for the day...
  11. That's not far from the old horizontal dropouts you'd find on racers about 25 years ago. HERE.
  12. if he can do that, he just needs to put his freewheel back together afterwards... so, in addition, don't throw the parts away and prepare for some really fiddly work with pawls and bearings.
  13. I have a Transcend 150x 2gb SD card for my camera, bought from http://www.offtek.co.uk and the only problem I have with it is that there is TOO MUCH room, for a camera. I don't often empty my card, but now when it comes to that point I have 2GB to think of... I don't know of this will bother you. I've not had any problems with that brand so far (but I have only bought five of the cards)
  14. Article about one of them here...
