  • Do you own a Chrome Citizen or Metropolis messenger bag?

    After deciding i'd like to replace my current, plain ol' nike mesenger bag with of a little more quality, i came across crome and decided i wanted to buy one of their bags, however being in the UK they arn't too common a sight and although there are many pictures on the internet of both, i still can't decide which i want, i don't want the bag to be any smaller than my current one:

    (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NIKE-MESSENGER%E2%80%A6

    even given the many pictures on the internet its hard to tell just how big it will look on me, i have the dimentions of the bags in question and the citizen is slightly bigger than mine in all, but looking at some pictures it looks positivly small, what i need is a picture of either bag, with something that i can compare it against, like a ruler.

    \would greatly appreciate any help

  • Fallout new vagas, too many monsters?

    Big fan of the fallout series, although one thing bugs me in the latest instalment

    I dont know how many people i speak for; but more than any other type of enemy i like shooting it out with human enemies, and im not talking about lakelurks and such, i mean enemies like super mutants, powder gangers, the great kham etc, now in fallout 3 there seemed no shortage of buildings stuffed with raiders, camps full of super mutants, clearing them out a very fun activity, with the looting and the stealth and what not, but in new vagas this is not the case, i run around the map looking for new places, and 99% of the locations i find either have no meaning at all, like those sacked caravans (maybe they are part of a quest i dont know) or they are buildings or caves full of cazadors/giant ants and other monsters, seriously who want to fight giant ants? where are all the powder ganger infested office buildings or at least a few buildings with human enemies, seems in newvagas the main bases of all these factions are the only places where some fun can be had, anyone else find this? or are there lots of places with human enemies to dispatch that i havnt found yet?

  • Standing waves on a string, tension and the fundamental?

    I'm currently writing up a lab report on standing waves and looking at my results theres one thing i cant explain

    Why does the frequeny of the 1st fundamental/1st harmonic etc increase as the tension on the string is incresed, looking at the equations i can see why, as if one were to put in a high tension value, the frequency value would also increase, however, im struggling to explain how tension has this effect in the physical world

    Many thanks :)

  • Browser crashes when i try to log into runescape?

    Im using a Toshiba Satalite C650D

    Operating system: Windows 7

    Java version: 6.0.170

    Processor speed: AMD Athalon II P320 Duel Core Proccesor

    Amount of RAM: 3GB

    Web browser: I was using interet explorer at the time, but am now using mozilla firefox 3.6.13

    I've just got my laptop back from the shop, it had to have its hard drive replaced, heres why

    all my problems started when i tried to log into runescape forr the first time on my new laptop, as soon as i hit the "log in" button the browser crashes, everything freezes, the first few times this happened i got sick of waiting for it to go back to normal and simply held the power button to turn off my laptop, this caused by laptop to have problems while booting up, but for the time being my laptop would run normally. With a little more patience i found that waiting 10-15 mins the frozen browser would recover, while doing so i would see a quick glimpse of the lobby, then the screen would revert to the log in screen, and then i could play runescape normally. Eventually howevewer my boot up problems escillated and my laptop then wouldnt start up at all, at which point i sent it in for repairs

    So why did this happen? i havnt tried logging into runescape since through fear the same thing will happen again, any ideas what caused this, heres a summery

    1: Clicking on the "log in button caused my browser to freeze up for 10 minutes

    2: At the moment my browser seemed to recover i catch a slight glimpse of the lobby screen, as if i had been logged in all along, but quickly after, the log in screen appears

    3: After the browser had recovered, i enter my log in data again, and can log in absolutly fine, until after i restart my laptop, at which time the problem resurfaces

    So, any ideas what happened? i cant understand how just logging into runescape "broke" my laptop :( the people at the shop said it was a hard drive error

  • Handbrake can't encode certain episodes on a dvd?

    Recently i purchased south park season 10 from amazon, and as i usually do i began the process of using handbrake to encode the episodes so that they play on my ipod, for all but two episodes the encode procces went by smoothly as usual, but for two particular episodes on disk 2 the encode slows to nothing around halfway through the encode, VLC can't play these episodes past the half way mark either, the other three episodes on the same disk encoded just fine, so i'm stumped as to what the problem is

    After a while the encoding process will continue but only to create the video ("Mixing this might take a while"), so im left with half a video :(

    Any suggestions appreciated

    Thanks :)

  • Cannot encode certain episodes on DVD?

    Upon using handbreak to encode "South Park season 10" on DVD so that it can play on my ipod i found that on most of the episodes the encode went smoothly as usual, however with 2 particular episodes handbreak, and my dvd player seems unable to encode/play these episodes past the halfway point, as handbreak is halfway through encoding these episodes the encode simply stops in its tracks and the same on my dvd player the episodes freeze halfway through, why would certain episodes work and other wont, the disks are damaeged perhaps? any ideas/possible solutions would be appreciated

  • South park season 1 & 2, have you purchased any of the episodes from these seasons from itunes?

    Having recently bought the south park season 1 & 2 DVD boxsets off ebay i was disappointed to find that each and every episode opens with a little introduction from mat and trey, these goofy little introductions aren't all that funny in my opinion and i don't want them on my ipod so i was wandering if the episodes itunes has on offer contain these introductions or if they are just the plain episodes on their own

  • How do i shorten a m4v video? (im on windows)?

    As the title says the video's are m4v files
