Sigh. when will google catch on? grumblegrumblemoan... hehe. Try searching for the country's army manuals for the PDFs... I gotta chip and don't have time to download and check for ya!

23:04 / 19.12.02

sorry Deva... It was me alright. It was the last time I saw myself clean-shaven. I remember it well.

23:48 / 19.12.02

mixmage: Look, the link you provided gimme the message says /handguns/semiauto_design.jpg is no permission for me to access. Google won't lead me to the PDF exploded view I want. At least not the kind I'm looking for. Thnaks anyway.

01:41 / 20.12.02

mixmage:I've checked Jane's handbook of weapons and all it provide is a cross-sectional view of the inside mechanism. I need 3D exploded view.

Christ. Does nobody ever think to work backwards from the end of the URL until they find something?

Go here and then click on "Click here to view one of the classic semi-autos designs - a Colt/Brownings' 1911" which is just under the "Semi Autos" bit - it will load the picture. To stop bandwidth theft, they've got it set up so that it doesn't load if you try it without clicking from that page.

Sheesh.

02:53 / 20.12.02

Right.

Lots of gun manuals here. If you really wanna download the 4.3Meg PDF... you're looking for page 29. Bye! enjoy the wait.

03:04 / 20.12.02

I'm looking for an art or poster store (preferably online) that sells reproductions/posters of the work of the Japanese wood-block print artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. I've tried the conventional sites (Barewalls, etc.) and thorough going-over of search engine hits with no luck. I've found some books with full-color plates, but I'm really looking for pieces large enough to matte and frame.

Now, I have some of the real thing for sale, but the heroin crop isn't ripe for picking yet, so it's a bit out of my range.

11:02 / 20.12.02

TRoR : Gee, thanks. You don't know how much you have help me. My home computer and my relative computer show different things when I go to the URL you supplied. My relative computer show John Masen selling gun parts. I dunno how good fit those parts are and I dunno after assembling them whether the gun can be cocked. I've tried assembling electronic kits and most of the times I need to modify the parts to make them work. It would help me occupy my time to build gun parts from scratch by approaching metal millers or forgers in my country. But still if I have the means to visit a foreign country, I would seriously consider getting some parts for testing; say the parts that make the gun cock.
Mixmage:Your URL you provide is also good. I am just downloading the colt PDF and it's 30 minutes now. I still don't know how long I got to wait. Just keeping my fingers cross. Thanks.

Now I got a new question. I'm actually looking for an axe. Not those readily availiable over the counter. I need a 15 inch handle, joined at the base of the axe blade, not joined somewhere at the middle of the axe blade. The axe blade should be 7 inches long, with 2.5 inch wide at the cutting edge and 1 to 1.5 inch wide at the base. I need this kind of axe to butchered hunted animal. Where can I get such an axe? The whole axe should allow me to swing easily, feeling the weight at the cutting edge of the blade.

15:23 / 20.12.02

This should do you nicely. And here's some maintenance tips.

You might find one of these useful as well.

And make sure to clean up afterwards. Because blood is easy to find if you know how.

20:24 / 20.12.02

Grant : No.....no.......no..........the axe has a blade that is either too short and too wide. I need one with a long blade, make it 9 inches exactly then. And the cutting edge should be narrow, say 2 inches to be exact. And the base of the blade should be narrower than the cutting edge. Thanks for the links anyway. They are indeed an eye-opener for me.

00:14 / 21.12.02

Mixmage : The link you provided, I've downloaded the colt PDF. But sad to say it does not contain 3D exploded view. But I have colt 1911 exploded view from other links by TRoR. Thanks.

00:19 / 21.12.02

I have another question. May I humbly ask does any of you know of a cordless telephone with transparent casing. And where the body marking of the IC is still clearly visible and not etched away. I've thought of buying every small FM radio and take them apart to see what FM receiver IC they used but I just don't have the budget. Those that I've taken apart have their IC body marking either etched away or covered with something. Please help. Thanks.

Look, can you people please stop indulging Darwin's Apocalust and tell me what is going on with UK social worker protocols, so I can write more Harry Potter pornography?

01:25 / 21.12.02

Listen Chuck... When Thor got his hammer from the dwarves, it came out a little short in the handle... even we Gods have to deal with a little inconvenience sometimes.

01:26 / 21.12.02

and can I add
Bullshit! you troll, I downloaded it myself, just to indulge you.

Who can recommend a decent video card that'll soup up my system? I've got a PIII 550mHz box with 128mb RAM: I'm wanting to replace the video card, as I reckon that'll tart up the performance for games et al - what's a cheap(ish) good one?

20:59 / 21.12.02

how do i go about copyrighting intellectual property(a t.v script)

22:15 / 21.12.02

Recorded delivery to yourself. Make sure it's date stamped - I usually include the top of a newspaper front page, just to reinforce the date.

Then never open it.

... until you get to court! :P

23:35 / 21.12.02

i was under the impression though mixmage that that method didn't hold up in court. could be wrong.

00:11 / 22.12.02

Really? Damn! - hmmm, then I'd be interested to find out what would.

Copyright law is very, very tricky, and is enforced differently in different parts of the world. Sean, you live in the UK, right? I'm not really sure how this applies to UK copyright law, but this is something a copyright law expert from the US named Siva Vaidhyanathan said about American copyright law in an interview in the most recent (copyright-themed) issue of Stay Free Magazine:

...The 1976 law also made copyright applicable to all expressions fixed in any tangible medium. That means every email you write is copyrighted, every scribble on paper is copyrighted. There's no registration process.

That could very well apply to you if British law is anything remotely similar, and that you have a good lawyer. European copyright law tends to favor "moral rights", which gives artists the right to control the fate of their works and how they are used, which is something that American law seldom allows, so there is a strong chance that copyright across the board is more in your favor in your country. This is something you could easily research online.

Siva Vaidhyanathan has a book out on copyright law that may interest you, Copyrights And Copywrongs, and I do strongly recommend that issue of Stay Free.

Another great online resource at your disposal online is Creative Commons, which can help you formally copyright your work to your own specifications.

Look, I'm just an electronic hobbyist. I do know of an FM transceiver IC which is TDA7000 by Philips. I'm just looking for an alternative IC with a easier component connections with less component count.

Anyway, how do I conduct psychologocal warfare with my co-worker? As has has been pissing me off for 5 years. It is said that human only use 10% of his brain. Please teach me how to use the remaining 90%, and I'll promise I won't practise using them in public.

10:44 / 22.12.02

Mixmage[very hungover] : [QUOTE]Listen Chuck... When Thor got his hammer from the dwarves, it came out a little short in the handle... even we Gods have to deal with a little inconvenience sometimes. [\QUOTE]
Me thinks humbly that Thor hammer handle is short becoz it is already a very heavy head hammer. A short handle relieve Thor of its weight. The short handle will also help Him to deal a more accurate blow.

For me, I uses my axe differently. The reason is simply becoz I am Charles Darwin. That's the simple reason, nothing much, nothing less.

pointless and uncalled for

10:51 / 22.12.02

Psychological warfare. - A tricky subject this and one that should be approached with caution or you will be sussed and rendered useless.

To begin with it would be best to work in slightly subtle means which are designed to set the stage for further activity and create a base for inducing paranoia. For this I would reccomend two approaches.

The first is repetition of practical jokes without identifying yourself. This would be things like taking their mug, using it and then placing the dirty receptical on their desk also the trick of turning everything on their desk upside-down is a good one. While in the short term this will be recognised as funny, if repeated ad infinitum and without them knowing it (or even anyone else in the office) then it will begin to wear them down. Be creative and don't give up.

The second is negative spin. Never ever start gossip but when it rolls round then you can carefully comment on how it actually relates to them in a bad way. Nothing serious but as the volume mounts up they will begin to crack under the pressue. Don't let it all come from one area either. Be sure that they think that everyone has it in for them for some kind of unknown agenda. This will give them enough rope and soon they will start to hang themselves, metaphorically speaking.

Use of the other part of you brain is out of my range but I think it has something to do with dianetics so be careful what you get into.

Lame network gaming question: two computers with network cards in: can you just use a network cable to link the two, or do you need to have a router 'n' shit? Will they pick each other up over just the cable? Win98SE running on both. Though it could be Linux, soon...

16:26 / 22.12.02

Rothkoid -- I read somewhere recently that you can do this but you need a crossover thingie. I don't think it'd be expensive -- just a plug and a socket connected with a short length of cable -- you could make one up yourself I think.

Tryphena Absent

17:37 / 22.12.02

Rothkoid- my brother just wandered in to the room he says yes. Nothing else, just yes, he's generally right about network gaming so I guess there's an answer, of sorts.

18:48 / 22.12.02

sorry folks...

Chuck, ol' buddy, ol' pal... Thor's hammer came out short because Loki turned himself into a biting fly and annoyed the dwarven smiths [oh, how apt]. Some say this is because Loki teased Thor over having a small cock.

Does your axe return to your hand?

[interesting off-topic sidenote: A throwable weapon that returns to the hand? Boomerang? very lacking in the handle dept. y'ken?]

The Return Of Rothkoid

21:10 / 22.12.02

Actual hunting boomerangs don't tend to return. The ones you'd use to kill a kangaroo are huge and are meant to club something to death from the air, not come back.

Although I think ze might have something like the weapon from the arcade game Rygar in mind. Hu'wah!

00:19 / 23.12.02

Look, look, loook, don't just comment on Thor's hammer handle, just tell me where can I can the kind of axe with the kind of blade I want and I'll weld or plant a suitable handle into the blade myslef.

And what about my question on FM transceiver IC and colt 1911 order parts?

17:16 / 23.12.02

anyone here weight lift or know any good websites that give you good advice on what to eat and how to train to make yourself look like a small percentage of hulk?

17:34 / 23.12.02

Hey Bud! yeah... Chuck D.

Let's you and me go have a chat over here

14:04 / 24.12.02

Merry Xmas! Dear All! I have a new question. I have a distant uncle who has stroke for a number of years. Before that, he has kidney failure. After he has stroke, he become bedridden and he has been lying on his back for so many years until his back is rotting slightly. May I know what's the quickest way to cure him of his stroke? Please do not ask me to ask a doctor for advice as I don't belief in the doctor anymore. In my opinion, maybe he need something. Maybe after so many years, his acupuncture point has sink deeper beneath the skin or the acupuncture point has shrink in size and so, a special kind of electromagnetic needle is needed to simulate the point. Please tell me what to do.

14:05 / 24.12.02

To add to the above question, my distant uncle is in his 70s.
