Mr Darn

I'm at the same stage. I'd LOVE to get into it all, but have no idea where to start with cameras, and everyone i have spoke too gives differing advice!

The Swan at choppington also does rooms

An ideal oppertunity for the Red Lion here methinks....

Surely the bandstand is a perfect setting for such an event?

Sure, it needs "tarted up" but has a parking area, and a natural slope to the bandstand for onlookers.

Rip that down aswell, never needed it in the first place.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

With that gone i'll have to walk from Blyth or Cramlington after getting locked up!!!

Its handy, leave it alone. (also good if you parked in the car park expecting to do the walk of shame the next morning to pick it up! )

Spoke too soon!

seems fine now (the result was pretty instant before) but the level of snow is disapointing

If i'm the only one having trouble, i'll just disable it untill i'm fully updated. no point spoiling everyones fun!

I only use this laptop briefly anyways

Ok, re-enabling snow now... see what happens.

completly crashed it, to the point of the little box saying "sorry, but firefox crashed, submit this to firefox so we can analyze it" sort of thing, then on restart the tabs cant be reloaded.

I only have the one tab open, and nothing else running in background, not even messenger.

If theres any other place a report is saved that may help, let me know.

Windows Vista home premium on an acer aspire. not yet at SP1 due to reinstalation of OS.

funnily enough, somethings crashing my firefox browser since the snow toggle appeared.

Is there anything i could supply to pin-point the problem?

For those who think pictures speak a thousand words:

Thank god we are all telepathic and instantly know how to turn it on/off without any hints at all!

i want humford baths back!!!

thought that sort of thing was more to the east of bedlington... above a popular fast food place, with a blue door, and red curtains if i remember right? ( do i know too much about this??!?!?)

back to being serious, i had my first instructor session in the soft play room too, and my first experience of being sick through physical exaustion, and my first broken rib, and my .....

Pleased we moved to better premisis after those first few sessions, but the memories (and sirens) are still quite vivid!

Being made to do 100 pressups because my senior instructor round-kicked me through the fire doors was going a bit too far i think... (apparently i did not bow on the way out of the Dojo!!!)

Ahh, the good old days.... Time for a reunion?

Pointless post? not a chance!

A Good set of points there!

not a bad upstairs area for other things. I had my first martial arts class on that polished floor!

lol!

ooo, congrats to monsta too!

Not a moment too soon mind, he's been a contributor from day one!

Where's mongo when you need him?

Don;t think i haven;t suggested it - I want the little blighters out of my way!

[offtopic]Who-Hoo! a post with "the" spelled correctly!!![/offtopic]

My nephews gutted, he just started high school this year!

i see we have 2 new moderators now...

when did this happen??

Congrats Blank and Malcolm!

Oh, and as for drama queen....

yeah, ok, i'll give you that one!

But Why?

What is the reasoning behind this not being made a reality now?

Its simply money.

we are wrecking this planet, and its all because the research into other means is too expensive, and will remain so until oil runs out.

Its not that we dont have the technology to do it, we do. Its just not financially practical to put the means into place.

they all agreed that the immediate - foreseeable - future for everyday, mass produced cars (and supercars) lay in the super efficient internal combustion engine that is to be seen on teh market within the next few years.

And this is another reason, Mass Production.

The combustion engined cars are cheaper to produce, therefore a bigger profit margin is made, and people can afford to buy them. Electric cars with this new technology would be too expensive to buy at the moment, and its too big a financial risk to say "right, we're going to make thousands of these and MAKE it cheap to produce". No mass production company are willing to experement with it, just specialist companies that can only produce them in small numbers.

These small numbers mean they are expensive, and immediatly price themselves out of the market.

Money Money Money.

Give out an unlimited supply for research and production, and i bet a prototype could be knocked together in 6 months. Perhaps not electric, but something renewable.

so if millenium is such as bad os and millenium is tarted up 98, how can you say 98 was a good os and millenium wasn't? please explain

Not so much a "tarted up '98" as a replacement that couldn't cut the cheese. It just was not good enough, tested enough or thought out well enough.

Vista, however, had a lot of great ideas, they just rushed it out because XP had been out so long. An XP Second Edition, with all the current updates finalised and released as a stable OS (like they did with '98 SE) would have been a much better move, and would have saved hours of downloading updates for the XP user, while they took the time to develop and test Vista properly. Instead they released a half ***** attempt that was full of good ideas, and let themselves down.

Windows 7 is what Vista should have been, just like XP was what Millenium should have been.

Does that make more sense?

What is this synthesized veriety made of? and where do the materials come from?

Are they unlimited?

I ask because i dont know, not to make a point.

Task completed

Well, i do see what it takes to run a forklift for 8 hours, so i can imagine. However battery development is turning corners. The Laptop industry is seeing to that. wether this can be turned into something useful for cars is another matter.

Having a "battery pack" made of many smaller batteries works for the forklift, and can be lifted out as a whole, although this is a pain to do with the current design.

Incorperating many batterys into the cars floor so they can be removed from below would be viable, but heavy. hence the "from below" idea.

I dont see why that couldn't be an option, that way the batterys are charged and stored in the same places, and can be recycled properly from there.

Theres nothing in a battery that "cannot" be recycled, it just takes time and money to do it properly.

EDIT: And THATS where the Viability comes into play.
