I wish I had some of that, they look like some nice crystals: Xenon also forms a tetrafluoride thats stable at room temperature too... Again I'd love too have some Cheers, Ryan Jones

Mercury is supposed to be able to form "compounds" with all the noble gasses except they ar enot bonded together with covanelt nor ionic bonds so I'm not even shure these could as compounds As for the heavier ones I think they have been made too form oxides and flurides and some oxyfluorides I'm still guessing the book is refering too Hydrogen because most books don't make a mistake like that... Cheers, Ryan Jones

I don't think it does form any stable compounds does it? Maybe the book was refering too Hydrogen? Cheers, Ryan Jones

You can do that with a UA switcher, I'm currently viewing this page with a google useragent string but I'm not using a Gooogle browser Cheers, Ryan Jones

Its a roumer that both Google and Opera have denied. Why would Google, having alrewady put a lot of money into Firefox, decide too switch? Makes no sence. Opera have published an article in their blog about this saying all the roumers are false. Have a read of this. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Yup, then you can easily make a reference to any required element in the array buy using an array reference instead Cheers, Ryan Jones

I cna guess a few that are hard too get, I buy my stuff form reliable suppliers so I have no idea where these people get this stuff from - if its impure it makes the mix even more unstable than it already is and if you havn't already got the idea thats bad Cheers, Ryan Jones

I bet, the best advice if too leave it well alone - this stuff does explodes when its contained. Basty stuff and powerful. I'd also like too know how the kids got the chemicals in the first place, who would be stupid enough too sell the materials too them without knowing what they'd wo with them? Well, there are two less people too run a pyrochemists lives by trying too blow things up which is what i bet they were trying too dow ith the stuff as it has no other uses at all! Cheers, Ryan Jones

I don't think they will ever try it again, there are a lot of things you can add too the mix too increase its power but I don't even reccomend making the basic mix let along any enhanced ones This stuff is very, very unpredictable and varies from batch too batch, one time it could seem stable and would remain like that the next it could just ignite its self for no reason - exactly why its not used for much.... I show them no sympathy at all, I wanred them it should not be made unless you know what your doing and have the corect equiptment and even then its not reccomended not only that but I have no idea what they intended too do with the stuff :S Cheers, Ryan Jones

I guess so, the stuff in toy caps and on some match heads of composed of a stabilised version of this stuff... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Note too mods, there will be nothing in this thread relating too the making of other than that fact it should not be. I recently witnessed somone in my street messing with the Armstrong mic, I will not post a mixture configuration here because you cna guarantee that someone would use it. This stuff is dangerous, it ignited for no reason and is VERY sensative too touch and also many other things. The person (No names) continued too mix the stuff despite my warning, applied too much pressure and the mix ignited - he suffered 2nd degree burns to his hands and arms and had too be rushed too the hospital, luckily he was wearing gloves or it could have been far worse. He is now recovering with his arms in bandages - if he has listened too the warning there would be been no porblems. Thats not the end of this story, 2 days later another person, probably a friend of NoName trued the same thing but this time managed too seal this stuff in a small metal tube, he droped it and the mix detonated Sending pieces of metal into him - again not very nice and he also had burns too his legs and he also damaged his ear drums thanks too the blast wave. What do we note from this? DO NOT make the Armstrong mix - even trained pyrotechnicians avoid this stuff because its too unstable and very unpreductable not too mention powerful. For your own safety and that of others arround you do not even try too make this mix! Why is it people do not listen too the warnings? Don't ask me - both of those two learned the hard way and I bet they will; not try it again. Just a heads up, just a note from personal experience, this stuff is dangerous and should be avoided.

If you can think of a rule that allows functions and stops them being "abused" then post it Cheers, Ryan Jones

Your right and I appologise but I have said what I needed too say and so have finished posting in this thread Cheers, Ryan Jones

Feature Myths - Firefox Blocks all Popups - thats damn true luckily there should be an update for this soon (Which I am well looking forward too I may add). Feature Myths - Firefox is the Most Standards Compliant Web Browser - Be warned' date=' some of the features have not been tested for Firefox 1.5 yet since it has not been released for very long so this may need too be changed sometime (Source) Security Myths - Firefox is the Most Secure Web Browser - quite true even though it does rate higher than Opera in some areas but overall you are correct there... (Source) Cheers, Ryan Jones

No' date=' you should not spread BS... by the way am I right in saying you thing Nanobot is bias - if yes then how can you quote him in your article... Did you not get the letter he sent too you explaingin that you miss-quoted the statistics he posted? As for people "believing you" yes very weel, I have seen posts oin other forums with people quoting your article and asking if its true and as here they have just shows our a biased IE supporter with no interest in showing truth but rather spreading a load of lies. All your so called myths answers are myths themselves and thius I reward you with a nice stamp: [img']http://www.cavill.com.au/images/234.gif[/img] Lets see what other people say about this: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=356670&highlight=myth http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=357049&highlight=myth http://nanobox.chipx86.com/blog/2005/12/re-firefox-myths.php (Notice the letter saying about how the informaiton was miss-quoted?) I presonally think yuor article is a joke, for anyon reading this Nanobot is a reliable resource and his information is non-baised, if your reading that article and then you should also read this: http://nanobox.chipx86.com/firefox_myths.php its non-baised and its argument is quite reasonable pointing out the true myths about Firefox, the article posted here was a load of rubbish for the most part though there is some truth in it. This is also reinforced by the fact that the guy refuses too change the information evne when one of his sources told him he miss-quoted the information - BAD! People are laughing at your "information", its so bias that its obviously FUD when you present a non-biased argument then you'll get some real interest untill then why bother? Ryan Jones

NO' date=' its a "myth" because YOU placed it out of its context. Put it back into context and it fits with the description. Your trying to argume 1+2 = 3 by putting out of its context. Firefo has unpatched ones, no-one denies it but have you sem not many IE has too? http://nanobox.chipx86.com/ie_is_dangerous.php Ah, OK your talking about "security" and telling people too change too a less secure browser? Nice job Where is the securitor link to IE vunrabilities? Hard not to when your using a very biased argument. Luckily there are sites like Nanobot which aim to show a more reliable argument. I bet those people are using IE in any case' date=' I have seen people talking about how stupid that article is in many places - one sided arguments just don't work at all. You've taken the stuff out of context and therefor your argument is flawed. Put it back itno its correct context and then argue with it. And I suppose what you missquoted out of its context is not BS then? I think it is. Stop lying, put the stuff back into the contect for which it was intended and then try too arguw with it. It seems like too me' date=' your basically saying Firefox is insecure, slow and crap. Presejnt a non-biased argument for gods sake, its not hard. Nanobot showed a corect, non-biased one in the context everything was inteded - yours is missleading, biased and for those reasons wrong. Ah, and what do you call what your doing then? Taking somehting out of its context is lying. Its called miss-quotation. When you put everything its the context it was written in most of the arguments you present fall too pieces. There should really be laws about spreading lies and information in its unintended context like you are doing, its missleading and its wrong. Some of the things are right granted but a lot of it is not. Ryan Jones

Yet again your taking it oout of the context it was used, everyone knows that the majority of users use IE as a browser, therefor people know when you are saying secure you must mean secure in relation too the current leader - its common sence, everyone knows nothign cna be 100% secure so there you go. Adding the mord more is correct, everyhting has secuty homes so it only makes sence to call it secure in relation too another product therefor its prefectly acceptible as people know its refering too IE as the leader right now. Put the "myth" int he context in whcih it was used and then you'll see its not a mythh but fact. Ryan Jones

Umm' date=' lets see - people are probably not going too listen to you for 3 reasons. 1) They have too try for them selves too see what they think. 2) You take a very one sided argument nad show nothing about the plus sides of Firefox or the down points of IE. 3) You have taken a shed load of the arguments out of their context as is the case with the browser being secure. When you make it so that: Quote sources for the good sides as well as the bad ones, Firefox gets thousands of good reviews - are they all wrong too? Show that Firefox has its good sides as well as its down sides. Take the arguments in the context in which they are used and not your own version of them. When you follow the above then yu have a nice ballanced argument and people will listen more, right now you'r only making the point Phi for All stated: you have an agenda against Firefox. I use Firefox and I give it a good review, much better than I give IE, this has to do with my asessment of its featers, securite, reliability etc. There is no point giving an argument unless your going to ballance it - you may as well leave them decide for themselves.

There was also another show taking magnetic readings of the sea floor, it showed a strong magnetic fileld and they think this could mess with the equiptment. Cheers, Ryan Jones
