  1. I've used vectors quite a lot. "Vector images are made up of many individual, scalable objects. These objects are defined by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the highest quality."

    The hardest thing to learn (which you must learn) is changing the curve of a line. If you have Photoshop use the lines tool to check out how this works. You just pull at the the side of a corner point and it curves more. (They are called Bezier curves for some reason) This link might help: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/vectordrawingbasics/ see the bezier link. In fact all the links are pretty useful

    Good luck.

  2. There is a small attempt to email every local radio dj (and national stations) to get them to play that song. It would be quite fun watching it on tv and hearing the chant "Footy footy footy footy footy footy" etc.

  3. Ha, I love Manowar they are true comedy rock greats.

    As for me, our local town has a arts week and have a live local band evening. Might as well go, it kept me a awake last year listening to it being carried on the wind. Although it was no where near as bad as my neighbour who had a karaoake (sp? probably) party in their garden lasting till 1 in the morning. Hearing ###### people sing when you are in a pub is fine. But not when you are trying to sleep. /miserable git.

  4. Because I spent this morning reading a 40 something page legal document checking we weren't being screwed out of lots of money this morning and it made my head bleed.

    To be honest I didn't understand much of it, said yeah that's fine and got my boss to sign it.

  5. I'll bring the fireworks, you bring the beer.

    While I'm posting in this section, I noticed one of the posts in Computer Games forum was locked because it is about Joint Operations and they were told to go to TE. Now I've got one or 2 questions about Joint Ops, but I don't really want to sign up to TE (no offence, but I'm a member of too many forums, and I HAVE to visit them all daily, else I die). Plus, there aren't the amount of members over there.

    I know we had a similar discussion about RvS but that was slightly different as there was an entire web site devoted to it. Just commenting really.

  6. Are you sure it isn't your ISP disconnecting you and causing log in trouble (not saying they are doing it on purpose, sometimes their connection drops)? I had the same trouble with mine to start with, get a new modem if you want but you could be wasting your money.

  7. I enjoyed it. I can see how being in a dark room with a ball floating about and your friend contacting the dead would give you the fear. Really, it was just a lot of his old tricks repackaged, very clever stuff though. What really impressed me was his first "trick" of guessing what relation the girl was thinking of, even down to the flower connection.

    On a similar note anyone remember a 1 off special played on Halloween back in '92 called Ghost Watch? It had Sarah Greene, Mark Curry and Michael Parkinson in it. Basically, it was a "live" documentary at a haunted house, (just a standard 2 up 2 down town hosue, nothing fancy) and they kept going back to the studio for interviews with paranormal experts and so on. Nothing much happens at first, one of the girls in the house fakes a noise, but slowly things start happening getting worse and worse, eventually they go back to the studio where lights start exploding and they evacuate. However, I didn't see most of this.

    I believe I saw a part of this show where one of the girls is possessed behind a sofa speaking in a man's voice. That was all I needed to see, and I didn't sleep well for weeks after it (no joke). Just wondering if anyone else remembers it and confirm there was a part in which a girl gets possessed behind a sofa while in a faetal like position?

    Or, failing that, anything else that gives/gave people the fear.

  8. The difference is RSE have not been lying to the community, that is what this guy is annoyed about. As far as I can see (about 20 miles, due to the curviture of the earth) they have been as honest as they can be on the game that isn't due out for quite a few more months.

  9. C4 10:35pm. Apparently he is using the rituals of a seance, although he has said he has no way of contacting the dead and is a confirmed sceptic. Also there will be interactive sections at home. Sounds good. Probably his usual mind reading stunts but with the air of the supernatural about them.

    He was on the Jonathan Ross Radio 2 show on Saturday, and said that he wasn't going out to show that clarvouants (I think that word should have an I in it somewhere) are all frauds (like James Randi) as he believes that starting out with a negative agenda will not help.

    Currently the C of E are up in arms, and he is being closely watched by Ofcom (formally ITC) to check he doesn't cross the lines. As he said himself he can play russian roulette on tv, but had to jump through so many hoops just to get a ouija board on the show.

    Looks like fun, but missed his show on Friday :( .
