Hmm - I can't either (even with my firewall off)

But, Snowflake, they're from other internal threads so some browsing will reveal them

*** Help wanted ***

browsing, I found a neat site and i want to use that chopper cursor attachment in the website (maybe). But I don't know how to capture and use the image.

What am i talking about?

How, exactly, do you want to use it? You talk of a cursor. Does it replace your standard cursor on IE or something? Capturing it isn't too complicated, just right click it and save it as an image. It's a simple .gif animation.

[Googlie]

but you can't right click on it - what you're saving if you do that is the whole page (you can't actually get your cursor over it, 'cos it follows the cursor, just below it)

that's what I was asking help on - is there any other way to capture an animated image like that?

[Kassiopeia]

It's probably because on Firefox those annoying cursor things simply don't work.

I could right click and capture it just fine. Here, I uploaded it myself:

[Googlie]

Hmm - I guess it won't work on the website, then, as there's porlly some "attachment" code that your capture didn't download. Off to try it

[Kassiopeia]

Oh, you mean you wanted to add the same annoying (emphasis on that word) thingus to the Spartan website? I'm not a big fan of those (as you may have noticed already), but I'm sure the source code of that page will be of assistance. (Not that it'll bother me, as the script won't work on Firefox. Firefox )

Naw - it's actually better (cuter) as is:

We greet each day with 100 push-ups

[Snowflake]

Is that a rock or something on the highest level of the bodies?

[Googlie]

I think it's a backpack - prolly additional "punishment" for some previous infraction or other (you know, add 10 kilos to the body weight that he's pushing up)

[Snowflake]

Looks to me that he does need that additional weight. These are not properly trained Spartan soldiers if you ask me.

What!? Pushups in casual clothing!? What weaklings! If you can't do your morning pushups in full combat gear, including tactical nuclear backpack and NBC gear, you might as well go join the Gaians or Morganites. At least there they'll have to break a sweat before ripping your still-beating heart out and serving it to you on a platter.

And look at the nice comparison of the backs of the third and fourth person.
