this is taken from http://people.howstuffworks.com/question112.htm To fire a bullet from a gun, gunpowder is ignited behind the bullet. The gunpowder creates a high-pressure pulse of hot gas. The pressure of the gas forces the bullet down the barrel of the gun. When the bullet exits the end of the barrel, it is like uncorking a bottle. The pressure behind the bullet is immense, however -- on the order of 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi) -- so the POP that the gun makes as it is uncorked is extremely loud. A silencer screws on to the end of the barrel and has a huge volume compared to the barrel (20 or 30 times greater). With the silencer in place, the pressurized gas behind the bullet has a big space to expand into. So the pressure of the hot gas falls significantly. When the bullet finally exits through the hole in the silencer, the pressure being uncorked is much, much lower -- perhaps 60 psi. Therefore, the sound of the gun firing is much softer.

well. whether it sounds silly or not. it was originally aluminium. so thats the end of that. most people in UK are starting to use prorgram for both "program" and "programme" if i understand correctly. the program is used for computer programs and programme is used to describe stuff on tele also ... and English Billion, is a Million Million. compared to american billion , which is a thousand million. Altough to avoid confusion, is american billion is largely taken for granted.

can't believe u guys are so serious. only trying to be creative!! had a look to find a proper solution. couldnt find one. anyway its just like that joke about finding a height of a building using a barometer.

i prefer proper english spelling. God knows why it was changed. it just reinforces the american stereotype. and over there our spelling probably reinforces the english stereotype as well. for example. americans say "Airplane" while over here its "Aeroplane" and u have aluminum over there compared to "aluminium" you lot use "program" for both "program" and "programme" etc etc

walkthroughs are for impatient people. the whole point of the game is to figure out how to do something, and get enjoy that wonderful feeling.

ok then. use the writing bit of the compass to trace the required circle then!!!. get the straight edge. measure the diameter. mark it with something. and then get a ruler and find out how long it is.
-
wait till the sun is directly above you. (you may have to move to a different place on earth) . lay the sphere on the piece of paper. and trace the circle from its shadow

good luck. just remember that bad results is NOT the end of the world. Unexpected results bring into view the alternative career paths you have never thought about. (like selling your body, drug dealing, or smuggling people). so GOOD LUCK

altough i havent played doom3 or halo2. i would have to say that doom3 graphics is much better from all the reviiews i read. Almost finihsed Halo when i had to stop playing and it is one of the best FPS i ever played. engaging storyline. amazing gameplay. good graphics.
-
i second that. they stained the original matrix with the stink of the sequels. With the first film as good as that, it would have been very hard to surpass it. Second wasn't that bad. The third just sucked sideways.
-
i must say that this is one of the most ridiculous films i ever saw. at one point the woman and the predator looked like they were about to snog each other. trying to strech the film out with pointless "emotion" shots. you know those kind. the kind that shows them looking at each other faces with their eyes watering. Sentimental music playing in the background. made me laugh a couple of times. The ending was wide open for the sequel though.
-
i hope ur not pulling our leg here
-
no. i meant just alternate fire mode. if u play unreal tourny you will know what i mean.
-
hehe. i dont own a worthy machine. let alone play doom3 on it. anyway doom3 lacks the standard features of other FPS like the alternate fire mode
