Another forum "Duh!" for me is realizing there are a bunch of useful buttons way beyond the Google adsense blocks in the lowest part of the screen.

Hi Nomer, Yes, TED is the best place for inspirational talks on the Net. Far better to spend a hour listening and learning on TED than watching some utter rubbish on TV Mike

TIG you're a genius! thank you so much, i shall try it right away. pav

Hi, Compressed Air Engines (CAE) is fairly old technology, but getting HP and torque from this is where the golden egg of Green transportation lies. [image: kfpS_forbes-compressed-air-engine_136.jpg] As you see even just driving around you'll be somewhat refilling the tank but not enough that'll result in constant charge. From a safety aspect, sitting on a highly pressurized cannister compared with a tank full of fuel, i'd prefer the good ol' combustion engine. Fuel unless ignited is harmless, compressed air is like a bomb if ruptured. I'm sure they've factored in the containment of such pressure(300psi) but if you've ever seen a nitrogen or oxyacetylene cylinder blow a valve you'll know what i mean. They are like torpedoes. But i'm not disputing this ain't a positive step, it's innovation like this that is exactly what we need and with our Govt introducing a carbon tax next month, I might just have to drive my ass to work on wind power excuse me

Sounds creative

Perfect! And free to boot Just for the record, I was trying to get it into DoubleCAD, so once I downloaded it I had to extract to my desktop, then copy to C:\Windows\Fonts and it was available once I restarted DoubleCAD. [image: Hayg_Capture.JPG]

what a twist!

LOL...ah ya....right....so....

Nice find. I am amazed how certain visual cues can totally override one's natural sense of scale. The time lapse speed helps as well, making the ocean waves look like little splashes. I am not really believing that helicopter wasn't a toy or SU model.

Works fine in Chrome? But in Firefox when i hover pointer over where links are it recognizes the link but doesn't display? If i click the invisible image search and navigate back to web search they appear?

my advice: get a train to amsterdam. it only takes about an hour and you'll see the real bad boys of architecture! There's a fantastic art gallery in rotterdam with some amazing installations, cant remember the name. I know the red light district is seedy but if you wanna have a really good night, its the place to go, in amsterdam anyway. Dam square woth a visit too. There's an absolute wealth of beautiful buildings all over. Check out borneo island if you do end up in amsterdam...amazing housing scheme and its just a short bus journey from centraal station. But apart from that, kick back, relax and spark up a fat one for me! and yes you gotta do the cofeeshops man its part of the experience!

I´m landscape architect. My nick is a name of pine species (Pinus coulteri). This species has got the heaviest cones in the world.

Thanks for your response. It seems to be a non easy process. Anyway I will try to get more information and I hope the process has become easier in Europe as well. Thanks for now. Lorenzo

And the way it handles large models more effeciently

http://www.dpreview.com/ is probably the best review site for the pro/prosumer digital camera market- they go into great detail (10+ pages) on cameras that have been around for a while and still give excellent reviews on new released cameras. http://www.cameralabs.com/ is also very good, very detailed consistent reviews aimed more at the advanced amateur market. After months of research I've actually decided away from buying a DSLR as my next camera, think I'll go for a top-end compact instead: either the Ricoh GR Digital III, Canon PowerShot G11 (drool) or maybe the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. The reality is I use my camera mostly for photographing materials for using as render textures so I need to be able to have it with me most of the time and for architectural photography used with a tripod so I don't need the ultra-low-noise large or full-format sensors which DSLRs offer. At "normal" light levels any of the above cameras will produce results as good as the lower end prosumer DSLRs so they only trade-off is not being able to upgrade lenses in the future. The brand new Canon PowerShot G11 is said to have much improved light-sensitivity; equivalent to 2 stops, which is very impressive. These compacts (which many journalism photographers carry as a backup) are generally more robust too. They're definitely a serious alternative to lower-end DSLRs.
