    program for creating a screen capture from an AVI file?

    There are ways to get around this with videocard settings, I believe you have to turn off hardware acceleration, but the easiest method by far is Ctrl + I in Windows Media Player

    CSS question

    Maybe try putting border-style: solid; in there. I'm no CSS expert mind.

    NOOOOO!!! Not again!!!!

    Well, you've already mentioned my primary two questions: heat and PSU. PSU is easy - check the voltages aren't too off/low in the BIOS or do a google for how to check PSU voltages with a multimeter (quite easy). Ensure your BIOS settings are normal - 66 for AGP/PCI bus etc. It sounds like a...

    What is a .bin file?

    Assuming you're downloading something legal, use something like Nero to burn the images to CD, or programs like WinISO (I think that does bins), and possibly winrar, will extract the BIN for you.

    The Problem With Europe

    If you bothered to read my post, you'd see I said it's impossible to cut the supply, as you've proved yourself, therefore you need to cut demand. All in previous posts you haven't bothered to read as you're so closed minded. Answers in previous posts you haven't bothered to read as you're so...

    The Problem With Europe

    Who demanded everyone follow them into Iraq? What about Afghanistan? Who pumped vast swathes of money into Europe during the Cold War to "pursuade" Europe to remain capitalist? Who is now threatening Iran? These are aggressive actions (- the Truman Doctrine/original Marshall Aid to some extent)...

    The Problem With Europe

    I am absolutely astounded by the bizarre debate that has occured in this thread. I told my peers about it and they laughed loudly. My teachers laughed too. I'm somewhere in-between being irate and in hysterics. This is nothing about bending over for Europe. This is utter lunacy. It's about...

    The Problem With Europe

    You're still not listening to me, which is why you used a profanity in your post. Whether you like it or not, we live in capitalist societies and have to work within the constraints of economics. Thinking otherwise is simply naive and silly. Supply and demand - US citizens demand SUVs. Supply is...

    The Problem With Europe

    True, however I seriously doubt that they will actually make any effort whatsoever. Were they willing to do so, they would have signed up to kyoto for the 7% reduction target. After all, signing up to Kyoto doesn't harm them in any way if they are prepared to reduce emissions anyway. In fact, it...

    The Problem With Europe

    In England, we have much smaller cars than in America. Gas (petrol) usage in these is much less than in SUVs. Pedestrian safety is AWFUL on SUVs and 4x4s - they almost always die. More and more cars being made and sold in the UK these days have soft bonnets to cushion impacts with pedestrians...

    The Problem With Europe

    The fact that you are saying I'm dodging the issue shows you haven't actually read what I wrote, or at least didn't take the time to digest it/give any thought to it. To save you the effort of having to think, I'll make it clear (and if you don't agree with this, maybe you'd like to go back...

    The Problem With Europe

    You said it yourself - building for the US market. For US citizens. If the US takes advantage of cheap labour elsewhere due to globalisation, and builds SUVs in other countries aside from the US, for almost only the US market (no demand for gas guzzlers in Europe - we recognise the effect they...

    Political Compass

    The Problem With Europe

    I too would like some more recent figures. To be honest with you, I know little about Kyoto. It's mainly the concept I was commenting on previously, but it certainly doesn't hurt to learn a little more about it. I will print off a document on it tonight and read it at school tomorrow. Hopefully...

    The Problem With Europe

    Sorry, I can't remember exactly where I read that. It was the New Scientist, Scientific American or another such scientific magazine/journal I believe. What I was saying is that other 3rd world countries which don't produce much CO2 get paid a little by the US in return for the US setting up CO2...

    The Problem With Europe

    RabidMongoose: I'm not sure, but if it did decrease (which I doubt), it was probably accidental. What the US tends to do is get to ger poor 3rd world countries that haven't used their emissions quota up to house CO2 emitting factories for them, so it gets around quotas anyway. Therefore it...

    The Problem With Europe

    Yes... that's the concept, even if it isn't working wonderfully. It would work a lot better with the US on board. Let's face it, it's a start. How would you like to start dealing with emissions when you're also dealing with countries like the US which don't want to spend a dime on anything other...

    The Problem With Europe

    Who has been pumping this European colonialism rubbish around?! What are you talking about? Give me some other actual examples of how Europe is attempting to colonise once more. I think this is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in 2005 so far... What I would agree with you on is that Kyoto...

    Help! Computer won't stay on more than 1 sec!

    Initially I would check the voltages your PSU was giving. As you haven't listed it with the rest of your components, I'm guessing it's just a generic thing. If your PSU is giving rotten voltages, then it could already have damaged other components. To test the voltages without access to the BIOS...

    The Problem With Europe

    On the current state of Kyoto - it isn't working out wonderfully, however whether it is or isn't defeats the point of my statement. At least the countries involved are making a statement that they are willing to work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All the Americans ever say is "European...

    The Problem With Europe

    Good point. However, that argument only works for so long. How long do you want to risk pushing the rotten door to the dragon's cave for before it gives in? The ice caps are melting at a truly alarming rate and we're already seeing huge changes to our climate based upon global warming - even...

    The Problem With Europe

    I'm afraid I still disagree with you on this issue, although I find your argument interesting to consider. I fail to see how history of feudal socities reflects on the modern day voting habits of the majority of the electorate. I believe this point is enhanced and magnified by the fact that...

    The Problem With Europe

    I hate for my debut post to be a disagreement, but as a cynical, pesimistic and generally unpatriotic UK teenager, I feel I should speak out against your initial post. You make a point that American citizens, unlike Europeans, are not simply passive spectators to authoritarianism. I dare you to...
