@unknownuser said: Al, Curious what error message you get when trying to save an image. (is it something like "fails to recognise the drive") I ask because I have a 1tb Seagate Goflex ext. drive I purchased of October 2011 to which I have no problem with saving a Win7 drive image. Charlie The error is something like "I/O error while writing to drive" You can see if the drive i unsupportable by typing in: Fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo F: (replacing F: with the drive letter) It is the Bytes per Physical in bold below which is the problem. "Not Supported" means that the drive does not report the number of bytes to Windows, so Windows does not know that it is not a 512 byte drive.

Well anyway, that will turn the search function into a directory listing - something Google has just suspended to provide.

Yeah I'd love to play with this option, though I can't understand the lingo of much of the tips and seems you have to dig around everywhere to find the right info. Little is up to date! Plus the proposed use for commercial works attract massive licensing fees.

Reminds me also of the grid shell, although some use steel fasteners, some are apparently all wood joinery.

If only they'd shown us stuff like this in school.

My son (10 yr) and daughter (6yr) are crazy about their diablo's. They are doing tricks with that thing that amazes me every time I see them practising. (I can't even keep the damn thing rollin ...)

Coverage of the return of the Dragon-X to Earth, splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, is on NASA-TV: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html Good Luck to the entire Space-X team and NASA.

I heard about Flame on the News a few days ago and had in mind to check it out. Thanks for the links Urgen. Stuxnet x20: Massive cyber spy virus 'Flame' hits Iran, Israel http://youtu.be/mmwzhPx69-U I note that its said to be Win only at present but a powerful data collection virus. On the news it reported that this thing can take capture pics of the users and send them to wherever, USA and Israel possibly according to Net reports. Also Skype chats etc etc. Yes indeed, Flame is most definitely a weapon, a 'cybernet super weapon', in one of the wars that is ongoing presently.

@unknownuser said: Don't use Outlook and IE I generally do not like to "prescribe" what people should do (as a forum admin I get lots of emails seeking help with login issues) but I would (kind of) take this suggestion seriously. Even if it comes from Pilou. No, seriously. Get a "real" browser and get a "real" email client. That's it.

"Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. Is a great book about comics, but it goes into a lot of detail about the difference in abstraction and realism, and the importance of it. I can't recommend the book enough. http://scottmccloud.com/2-print/1-uc/index.html

thank you, i enjoyed this although i don't know all the characters )

That's not entirely true Tig, I taught that too, my car was valued at €8000 3yrs ago, and even tho it was insured at that insurance company's only pay out what the car is valued at now, I baught my BMW when the economy was booming, but since the resession hit the value of high powered petrol cars decreassed bringing the value of my car down to €2500 on the market today, this is why I only got this much, it's a joke and I totally agree that the person who was not at fault should not be out of pocket but it doesn't work that way, ideally it should but both persons suffer financially no matter what, believe me iv just gone threw it all, I say again insurance is only a sticker on your window.

Hi Pilou, thanks for the quick reply. The first link is the right thing. I believed it had only twelve lessons. Too bad it does not work anymore. I thought for a beginner it would be still good to use. [image: FBLh_2012-05-24_235934.jpg]

What can we do?

Looks like a Pininterest ripp off.

Thanks for this. You can listen to multiple tracks at once from the browser and record them as you listen, rather than downloading single tracks, if you use a 'playing now' recorder, something like HarddiskOgg. http://www.fridgesoft.de/harddiskogg.php
