  1. Chest strap is an easy slot... tips If the knife is below your waist, mount it so that you pull towards your face. If its mounted above your waist, mount it so you pull it away from your face.... The ergonimics work best and it might save your nose, lips, ears, etc from .... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  2. There are some speed enhancing tweaks you can do... Make sure your export settings are the same as your capture settings, and I mean exactly the same. Make sure your video is stored to a different drive from your applications. Partition if necessary. Install something like 'enditall' search the web for it, it shuts down non essential stuff. Shut down any and all other applications that are not required for editing, this includes things like task manager, virus protection, any backup progs, etc etc etc. If you have 'findfast' installed remove or disable it, its insidious and seriously slows things down. Only run the editing software, absolutely nothing else. No surfing, etc Make sure your hard drive can sustain at least 5mb/sec transfer rates during read and write....Ruj some sort of speed measuring software, again there are loads you can download, try Winbench. Check out the link I posted earlier, check out their speed tips, and go to their self help areas, its a good site, and if they can't help you there, I would be surprised... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  5. "BTW Springboks vs England. I expect to see you wearing Green and Gold and baying for English blood. " Hell yeah, I normally support two teams, Scotland, and whoever is playing against England. You can count on my support there!
  6. "I don't think nacmac is, needs or wants to be a yay-sayer! " Hmm trying to work out some way of disagreeing with this statement, its hurting my head. Right then, serious issues time..... I think I see what HH is trying to achieve here, and if I'm right, we all need to help him out, heres why... We need some way of futher reducing the clutter on the talkback forum. I think the number of users and the post topics have exceeded the usefulness of this particular board. What I mean is, over a thousand posts each day, and 40-50 new threads is getting kinda unwieldy, even for dedicated post whores like myself. This means that some valid, valuable, or even interesting posts () are simply getting lost in all the noise. Soo, thinking out loud here, so bear with me..... Maybe a forum for jokes, funny pictures etc.... How about a poll forum, I don't hold with polls, but if you must solicit opinions on what type of underwear Skymama should wear, what is the best type of beer etc, this would be this place.... Maybe a common 'vibe bucket', where a huge pile of vibes are posted along with pics of lucky four leafed clovers, budhas to rub, black cats crossing your path, etc. We need an agony aunt's corner, where you can post things like "I can't get a girlfriend, my neighbours dog won't stop barking, how do I make a decent cup of tea, my boss won't stop farting, and general woohoo I'm going on vacation" type drivel. It might be good to have an events area, where folks could describe up coming parties, whos going to Eloy, requests to car pool etc.... A political or topical issues arena, where we decide whether or not wars should be fought, which governments should be toppled, how best to stop global warming, and whether Rhino should run for Attorney general etc etc.. This would be the place to to chat in a reserved and civilised manner, while enjoying cultural interchanges, and developing opinions in a grown up and mature manner..... How about a newbies advice forum, where people could post those perennial problems, like how to cure acne, what is the best type of pullup to buy, what colour of freefly pants are the best, what knot do you use to tie your shoe laces etc. Maybe a geeks corner, wher techno babble is the chosen language. Of course, we need people to be disciplined and post in the relevant forum. These are just suggestions, perhaps the ball could roll and other folks might come up with even better sub headings for forums here..... Either way, I think we need to cut the noise down on the forum......But still maintain a sense of humour that keeps this place different from wreckdot..... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  16. Okay......, lets apply some risk finance to something we are all familiar with... Implied cost of averting a fatality = probability x cost of fatality lets look at Cypres... Probability of being unable to, or fogetting to open your reserve is, lets say 1 in 5000 (guessing) Value of life about 1 million pounds. (standard petrochemical value on life of expat oil worker) which gives me around 200 pounds to spend on a Cypres, which is about a quarter of the retail value of said unit. By my numbers, a Cypres doesn't make financial sense..... I still jump the Cypres tho... BTW guys, I really do like your sarcasm....Its not wasted here. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

  21. Not to be picky, but arent the odds 1:1 50/50 each flip you have an equal chance of each outcome? nope, the odds are 2:1, 1:1 would mean a dead cert, single sided coin. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
