I'm not an Ubuntu fan, it just runs too slow for my liking. After running Archlinux, Slackware and Zenwalk, Ubuntu is painful to use.

What extensions are you using with FF?

Jared, I 'm not familiar with all the colleges in your area, the only ones I can think of are Dartmouth, VTC(Vermont Technical College) in Randolph Center and Colby-Sawyer in New London(I'm guessing your not trying to become a secratary). Where exactly are you attending. I've spent plenty of time at...

Have a look at this page. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/propa ... _1020.html

Use whatever size pipe you want. When it is all together either go to the link liki posted or go to burntlatke's fuel tool . Input all your measurements and like magic it will tell you what pressure your gauge should be. If your meter pipe is shorter than the gauge pressure will be higher. If it is ...

A single 9v will work just fine. Or even one 9v and two AAs.

Well if your going with looks and authenticity you should know that the Kentucky(originally from PA) had a barrel length around 30". The Kentucky eventually evolved into the Pennsylvania rifle which had 42" or longer barrels. :wink:

Doesn't XP come with Windows Movie Maker? I'm pretty sure you can add effects and music with it.

I might be off on this. Due to lack of coffee and a subject I haven't really dealt with for quite a long time. Rifling jumping,bullet jumping, projectile jumping... These occur when the projectile's nose actually enters the rifling, not if it is already in the rifling. A paintball already seated in ...

This is too funny. After his first couple of posts, I didn't think it was worth viewing any of his topics. So there really isn't much of a loss in my mind. It's too bad his creativity is wasted on what I call negative gains. A thief is a thief, no matter the age or what is stolen and immaturity will...
