    Paul Watson wrote: But airsoft guns/weaponry? What do you actually do with it apart from shoot pigeons and targets? You do exactly the same as you described for paintballing - most airsoft guns have a greater range and a far higher rof (800 rounds per minute is about average for an AEG using stock internals and batteries*) than paintballing equipment anyway, with the added bonus of being accurate replicas (in terms of appearance, operation, and in some cases weight too. With airsoft you get the "experience" side that paintballing cannot offer. * in paintballing terms that is about £50 a minute. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/main/main.htm[^] AA is a good place to start looking - they have some of the best airsoft related news in the world, let alone the UK, and you can also find out about the sporting side of the hobby.

    The truth is, more people have thought about it than they'd like to admit. I used to think about it, and I even went through with it once. Wait, it makes sense. I tried to OD on sleeping pills. Dumbass me thought they were strong enough for the job, but they were just over-the-counter sleeping pills. It's a good thing I don't know jack about drugs. I was majorly fucked up for three days though. Anyway, my point is. You're not alone if you've had these thoughts. I've been through more than one person should ever see, but there's no point in writing a 10 mile long post looking for pitty about it. Since I've made it through; however, I've learned to enjoy life more than the average person. You can too! Just remember, nothing's ever going to be "perfect", but things can always get better. So, what I'm saying is... There will always be something (or someone :)) you can do to make you feel better. You just have to reach inside yourself to find what it is, be honest, and work with the results. For me, it was getting back into shape, but people are different. Just find out whatever it is for you and go for it. Best wishes! :rose: Jeremy Falcon Imputek "C# is the answer to a question nobody asked." - Chris Losinger

    You're probably using MFC. The first 1000 are errors internal to MFC which happen every time and are therefore suppressed by the compiler. :P Christian We're just observing the seasonal migration from VB to VC.

Ray Cassick wrote: Also, you forgot about that dreaded 'read only' attribute that gets set ofr files copied off the CD-Rom. Yes i did. That sucks too. What is wrong with MS that they can't do a filesystem driver that will acknowlege the drive as read-only without sticking useless attributes on every file? (ok, i should probably blame who ever came up with the CD-ROM standard FS, but still, MS hacked around it in other ways, why not this?) Ray Cassick wrote: Now all any one does in complain... True... and will continue to do so, at least until i can actually plan on going *years* without re-installing Windows to fix messy applications. There are ways to do clean-running apps; not enough of them maybe, but we can make an effort... Ray Cassick wrote: she was trying to use her finger :omg: :laugh: Wow, i feel for ya!

(well, mostly...) I'm as guilty as anyone of making software that messes up a system without regard to other apps. But when MS can't even get VS.NET to recover from an installation crash on their own OS, it's troubling to think of what that means for everyone else.
