Actually the pure long has 30mm bb where as the Czar long has 35. Thus making the difference. Suprising how much difference 5mm on the bb will make to the frame.

I beams on the rotor arms would be fine, so long as they stop 1-2mm before the rotor surface. Nice idea however I would imagine it would be hard to manufacture.

If it bends less than a mono trial when slightly hit Ill take one. Got a Viz Rotor now, gonig to see how it goes. Hate the mono trial rotors but love the rest of the brake.

For clarification. Desktop Drives : Your normal 3.5", 7200rpm drive in a caddy that 99% of the time requires a 12v mains power supply (provided) to power the device. Thus not being very portable. Laptop Drive : Your normal 2.5" 5400rpm drive that is normall found in a laptop. These get their power from the USB cable as they do not require as much power to work and thus are more portable. IE can be used on the train if your doing a 12 hour journey without needing mains power for the drive, so long as you have a laptop battery that lasts this long or a spare battery. Put simply, if you plan on moving it a lot might be worth going with a laptop drive, if its just a normal external to sit on your desk due to case limits (ie you cannot add another drive internally) get a desktop drive.

Use a dual screen manager like the one above to solve your problem with iTunes. I run mine seperate anyway I hate taskbar on both although would be kinda useful.

From what I have used, the Avedis 20" ride was a bit plain didnt really have any striking characteristics so pass on that. The K-Custom 16" Dark crash (I think it was) was absolutly sexual, very nice, soft and erupting depending how hard you hit it, you cannot thrash it though, its good for mellow areas of songs when you want a soft crash that doesnt stand out too much to ruin the feel of the verse or whereever your using it. K-Custom Dry 14" hats, just oh my god, the most amazing sound ever, expensive but worth it, they really have a nice tone, they cut through everything as well, sound amazing open/slightly open, and very good closed, clean and crisp.

Im going, the camp sounds interesting but I am going to have to pass.

Just a tip, check out Source Forge, its all open source so its free Lots of projects too. As for ripping stuff Doom 9, the place for all ripping

Just keep drivers up to date Running dual 22"s at home, tis insane.

All about eSata, 3Gbps. Remember if its a desktop drive it will need a power socket to supply it, I think "portable" ones as they are called get power from the USB, but dont quote me on that.

Doesnt mean its genuine, he might have googled the answers. To be fair if you dont know much about bikes you would not be owning that sort of frame be it a coust or a zoo, you would have something like a mad or a t-pro then sell it as you did not want it. That bike looks too much like a normal trials bike with the front v rear mag etc, I still think its stolen. Problem is half the stolen trials bikes end up on ebay.

You ruined the joke boy.

Its not a trex, no internal headset. Making it a coust. From what I remember they never came built so how it has a "standard front brake" I dont know. Stolen I say.

When I bring my camera back I will show you the difference between a USB streamed file and a firewire file. Firewire comes straight from the DV tape, the USB does not. (At least not on my camera or my mates)

I was taking a random guess at prices of card and cable, depending on what manufacturer you buy and where from. My card was £12 cable was like £2, but if you are in a hurry they are normally more in shops. I have seen a belkin firewire cable costing £25 in pc world.

Firewire gives far superior clatiry as its a digital feed from the tape, USB im not sure what it does but it gets compressed I think and it looks turd basically. Pop down your local PC World or similar and grab a firewire PCI card, or get one off ebuyer. You will probaboly need a 4 to 6 pin cable as well. Its worth shelling out about £30 really to get the better quality. They supply USB cables as all computers have a USB socket (find me one that doesnt and I will do nothing ) Where as not all computers come with a firewire port as stadard.

Not had a chance to play mp yet, cannot connect to live here.

I would say wait and get the premium, its £70 for the hd. If its only a month extra to wait, wait and get the premium.

Only thing about the elite is the 120gb hd. I of which do not need it. HDMI is on the premiums now as well, so unless you need 120gb space a premium will be fine.

They might not have a 4th one as such but more of a prequal, maybe on how the halo rings were created or something?? I am yet to complete it, maybe ths afternoon, but I doubt bungie would get rid of this series as its a pretty big blockbuster. Its like the Mario of Xbox really. They will find ways to make more games, such as Halo Wars, which at first I thought looked bad but its actually starting to look ok. I would not be suprised if they do make Halo 4 or 0, I cannot tell yet as I have not seen the ending but there is deffinately more to explain/explore in the Halo Universe, as there is in star wars. If you watch all the cut scense propely you can see a lot of similarities. I am pretty sure I saw what looked like half a death star in one of them so far.

I would say get the premium its worth the extra £50 or so, and in a lot of shops for £280 you can get it with 2 games. Also Halo 3 says on the back "optimized for hard drive". I have a premium and its great, you might decide to buy a few games etc maybe get some demos seeing as you will have xbl, and then any DLC such as new maps YOU WILL NEED the hd as they probaboly wont fit onto the memory card.

I have Halo 3, its OK so far, having played half of Halo 2 I am not tooo sure whats going on in the story. From the reviews I have read and playing it myself it deffinately seems more geared towards multiplayer and the campaign is aparantly only 6 hours long ish. Got Skate arriving tomorrow and I will personally be getting Pro Evo 2008, a lot of people have played Fifa 2008 and said its worse than 2007, I have not yet played it as I cannot get my xbox online at uni. All about PGR4 though next month, shame that it will prob be the last one made by Bizarre for xbox only.

Mine teaches Java but I still use C# as my main code in my private projects . As I said they are all very similar now. VB is about the only one thats different in terms of structure and syntax.

They are all good, but c# does seem to be growing with its install base. To be fair my use of c# is with XNA, however as stated above the general layout of them all with procedural callings, and being object oriented means they are very similar structurally with some very minor changes in syntax so it would take about a month to adjust frm say c++ to java. Such as c# uses console.out, java uses system.out. If you are just learning then a primer book such as c++ for dummies would be good, it starts off with the console apps but they are good to get the basiscs of the syntax.

Can I ask why you are learning c++? I started to learn it then moved to c# which I have found a lot simpler. Also a lot of people reccomend learning c#.
