Use variable resistance to alter a musical note?
Ok, so I have a tube; I want to place a resistor of some form, and a speaker of two on the tub, so that depending on which point of the bar I hit, a different note is produced.
So if I hit the far left, a very high note is produced, if I hit the far right, a very low note is produced, etcetera.
Any ideas?
1 AnswerEngineering9 years agoCreate custom css styles for general web pages?
Hi,
Ideally a firefox addon, I'm looking for any technique which will allow me to alter the css of pages I don't control, purely as it appears on my machine. As in, say I wanted googles text to be blue, I could alter the css, and every time I loaded google, it would be blue (I'm not looking to change their web pages, I'm talking purely peronal client side, so just changes on my machine)
Is this possible?

2 AnswersProgramming & Design10 years agoWordpress website is redirecting oddly?
Hi,
My wordpress website www.identityconsulting.co.uk should happily load the front page on that same link.

Programming & Design10 years agoNeed some advice-I like a much older woman...?
Hi-
Theres a woman I work for, and for the last year, I've started to develop what feels like really strong feelings for her.
Problem? I'm 17, she's 28.
(I''m male, by the way..)
She's always quite sweet and nice with me, but I've had conversation with her (a long while ago) when she's said stuff like "He was sweet, but he was only 24! I can't date a 24 year old!" and stuff...
I'm kind of wrroied stuff like that might make it impossible?
She's pretty strraight talking, and straight up.
Any advice on what she might think? And even more importantly, advice on asking her out?
thanks!
2 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agoOn my dvd moving stripes distort?
I recorded some video, put it on a dvd to take to my work computer, ripped it off, and when I play the video (I'm wearing a striped shirt in the video) anytime I move, the stripes seem to fly across my shirt.
Any way to stop this? I'm guessing I did something wrong when I ripped it.
1 AnswerMovies10 years agoWindows 7 account controls for limited users?
Hi,
I'm setting up a hot desk at my office, and my boss wants complete access, so I've given him an admin account with a password, however he also wants the computer to be used by one of our juniors.
I'm setting up just a normal account for her, but I also want a few extra restrictions on there.
I want to disable installing of programs on the computer, as her job doesn't need that, and if it's possible I want to block her from accessing our printer.
Are either of these possible?
2 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoMake any normal usb wireless?
This idea sounds so simple, but the fact I've never seen it means it's either impossible or really pricey...
Is it possible to get a wireless transmitter you plug into a usb port in your computer, and a receiver/transmitter you plug into a normal usb item, which t relay commands to each other, effectively making any usb item wireless?
Thanks!

2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoA good cooling system for my heavy duty pc?
Hi,
My pc is a pretty heavy duty one, only got it a couple days ago, and my probe is telling me it's idling around 55, and at any load goes to well above 60.
The specs are-
Quad core bloomfield
GTX 570
4gb ddr 1.33
1tb hard drive
I'm just using a set of 3 stock coolers that came with the barebones. Any better solution?
(I'm on a bit of a budget after buying that, and if getting watercooling involves removing the motherboard, I'm not interested!)

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agolock a program in full screen?
Hi,
I've created a video playing kiosk for a presentation my company is doing in a few weeks, however there is one rather large security fault with it-with a double touch (it's a touchscreen, but a normal pc on windows 7 otherwise) the video player closes, and the user can play around with the computer. Is there a way to lock the program into being fullscreen, or some function similar, so that the clients cannot mess around on our presentation machines?
Thanks
4 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoHow do I have images overlaid on over images on a website?
Hi,
I'm making a website for my company, and have a collection of images that change when you mouse over them (very old hat for any programmers out there) However, I've gotten stuck at a point after that. How do I have a second image (a grid image) overlaid or underlaid across these other images? If it changes anything, I'm using wordpress.
Thanks!
4 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoDual monitor video playing software?
Hi there,
I have two monitors, and for a presentation I'll be doing in a few weeks, I basically want a piece of software that will display the dvd menu (with play all, or select episode etc) on one screen, with the rest of the settings controls (play, pause etc) and then the other screen only play the video. As in, if none of the options are selected, the main screen will be blank. Thanks!

I'd like it to be able to run andriod apps (I heard the samsung one didnt have access to the app store?)
Following on that, I'd prefferably prefer it to be andriod based. Lots of good apps for that one, and none of the Ipads faults. (I want to be able to plug in an sd card and watch vids off that, etc)
I'd like at least a 16gb hard drive, and I'm willing to splash out for more if possible.
I'd like to be able to surf, and hopefully use flash.
Anything guys?
Also, at the moment I really can't go spending more than £400-£500 max, though I'd honestly prefer a tad lower.
5 AnswersPDAs & Handhelds1 decade agoany methods of flying short, controlled distances?
Wow...this is the most ridiculous question I have ever asked...
Look, the story is even more ridiculous, so I'll just ask the question.
I want a fairly reliable method of flying (physically above houses/low trees) in the direction I choose, for maybe...a mile or two...ish.
Now beleive me when I say I'm almost certain this isn't possible, but I'd like to know because it would...well...be flying.
Thanks everyone!
4 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoDual monitors second monitor goes black after a few seconds?
Hi
I have a laptop, and just got a VGA 19 inch flatscreen, and I want to be able to dual monitor.
I'm trying to extend my desktop, but it happens on all modes.
The external monitor goes totally black after a few seconds, not just dim. I've worked out it's going to sleep, as I can move windows back and forth still, just I'm not able to see them.
I've tried it on anoher laptop as well, same issue (though they are simalar laptops)
The laptop has 4GB memory, nvidea 9600m, and is pretty sweet. Also, windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
The second laptop was the same specs, but windows vista home 32 bit.
Anyone know what's causing this?
1 AnswerMonitors1 decade agoA good gaming laptop choice within £500?
Hi, I'm a pretty serious gamer, but before now, I'd been solidly a pc gamer. I've finally decided to breach the walls of laptop gaming, but I need a bit of guidance.
Can anyone advise on the best laptop in the UK, for £500 or below, for playing games. I'm not looking for a crysis running supercomputer, but the best for my price-range would be good.
I'd quite like a dual core, with at least 2GB ram of course.
Beyond that it's mainly the best graphics card etc.
Any suggestions of the best websites, or even better, the best specific laptop I would be advised to get?
Thanks
