    What are cbr files and what dod I do to open them.

    I'll take this one if Milney doesn't mind...

    CBR files are RARed archives of sequential images, CBZs are the same thing, but they've been zipped instead of RARed.

    Basically, all that's changed is the file extension to either CBR or CBZ, depending on the program used, so they can be read by a CB reader.

    Do a search on Google for CB reader, and you should find one easy enough to download.

    Typically, they're used for viewing digital archives of scanned comic books.

    Not at all Sith, but I do have two links to make life a little easier.

    CDisplay - a windows program designed to view these files.

    Book Image Viewer - a Mac OS program that does the same thing.

    I have been told that you can re-name the files and open them with winzip or winrar (ie *.CBR -> *.RAR)(*.CBZ -> *.ZIP), but I haven't tested this method myself.



    On an unrelated note, we hit 100 posts :D (101 counting this one)

    I downloaded the bprogram but it won't read, i have HUNDEDS of SW comics and I can't see them!

    I've tried renaming, I've tried zipping them up but it WON'T WORK.

    BTW, I have Freezip not winzip

    ****loads.

    Alternatively, enough to roast 50 seagulls per hour. :p

    I used to know the answer to this, and it really is a ridiculous amount of gas. AFAIK, they operate every hour on the hour from dusk until midnight.

    For the record, I wasn't stumped, I was waiting on a reply from Crown Casino. This is their official reply to me:

    Please be advised that whilst we have not made a standardized measurement of the gas used in the brigades - we have roughly estimated it to be 1000 cubic meters of gas for the five complete shows each night.

    So yeah, alot of gas.

    Does the Crysler 300C V8 have a release date for Australia yet?

    Not officially, but it debued at the Melbourne International Motor Show, March 3-14, this year. For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, visit this site

    Dear dear milney, can you please tell me if there is a easy way to edit a film using in camera techniques only. I'm kinda scared I'm going to stuff it up! [face_worried]

    I'm doing the Shootout Film Fest in Geelong this weekend and I think I'm going to absolutely crucify myself on the tripod becasue I don't know how to edit incamera.

    Any tips you can find?

    I was there... and took photos of said vehicle. I had forgotten to ask the Chrysler Reps at the display.
    I might pick up a copy of Motor magazine and find out.

    Why the crazy weather, milney?

    Well, according to the chart from Weatherzone :

    [image=http://data.theweather.com.au/access/imageserver.jsp?image=satellite/web_twc_sat_syn_aus.jpg]

    The low pressure system siting over NSW is causing heavy rain.

    Dear dear milney, can you please tell me if there is a easy way to edit a film using in camera techniques only. I'm kinda scared I'm going to stuff it up!

    The quickest way is to speak to the man above my post. He can explain it much easier than I can.

    However, this site can explain the basics of it. But for what you need, contact Sith Magician.

    I didn't think the general public did? I always thought Sean Connery was the favourite...

    I dunno, alot of people say Connery but many do say Moore. They don't like Dalton or Lazenby, who IMO are the best, more Fleming-esque Bonds, or even Brosnan, whos' just damn cool.


    (Pub argument, see... ;)

    If:
    1. The only way to publish written work is to have an agent AND
    2. The only way to get an agent is to already have work published, THEN

    HOW the hell do I become a writer???? :mad:

    Do I have to sleep with publishers?

    I'm not going to get involved in the pub argument of which actor was the best James Bond. Besides, we all know it was Sean Connery ;)

    Do I have to sleep with publishers?


    First off, no you don't have to sleep with the publishers.

    Second, as much as I hate to say this, a google search turned up this great explanation at Nescafe Big Break.

    I'm a little under the weather right now so I can't really summarise it for you. I will though.
