Olympic Fireworks Faked For TV By Sky News SkyNews - Monday, August 11 01:25 pm Parts of the spectacular Beijing Olympics opening ceremony were faked, it has emerged. The global television audience of more than three billion people watched in amazement as a series of giant footprints outlined in fireworks proceeded through the night sky from Tiananmen Square to the Bird's Nest stadium - except they were watching a computer animation. Even the giant television screens within the stadium itself broadcast the fake images. Stunned viewers thought they were watching the string of fireworks filmed from above by a helicopter. But in reality they were watching a 3D graphics sequence that took almost a year to produce. It even included a 'camera shake' to mimic the effect of filming from a helicopter. The dupe was revealed by China's Beijing Times. Speaking to the paper, the man responsible for the animation said he was pleased with the result. "Seeing how it worked out, it was still a bit too bright compared to the actual fireworks," Gao Xiaolong told the newspaper. "But most of the audience thought it was filmed live - so that was mission accomplished." The designers even added some haziness to simulate the polluted Beijing skyline. Broadcasters around the world had no choice but to show the footage because it all came from one feed provided by Beijing Olympic Broadcasting - the organisation responsible for filming the games. The ceremony has also been strongly criticised by architect Ai Weiwei, who helped design the Bird's Nest stadium. Writing on his blog, Mr Ai described the ceremony as "a recycling of the rubbish of fake classical culture tradition; a sacrilegious visual garbage dump and an insult to the spirit of liberty; low class sound play that's just noise pollution". He was directly critical of China's ruling communist party, characterising the ceremony as "a showcase of the reincarnation of the Marxist imperialism; the ultimate paragon of an all embracing culture of fascist totalitarianism; an encyclopaedia that encompasses total defeat in intellectual spirit." Mr Ai helped design the stadium alongside Swiss architect firm, Herzog and de Meuron. But since then, he has become an outspoken blogger against the Olympics and the Chinese regime. Unusually, he has not been censored by the authorities. Organiser said that the footprint fireworks were there for real, but thought it unsafe to try to film them - so they recreated them instead.

Taller is ok (but would 100mm make much difference), but longer is a problem, I can go to 500mm depth tops, (thats with 120mm over hang on my desk). Width is not a problem neither. I would go for a bigger one but space and funds are limited and as they are bigger and are double or even treble the price then I think they are out the question tbh. So I'm probably goin to go for the XION II just unsure whether to get blue or green.

I've just noticed this on xbl and above about the update: Does this mean we are going to be charged for the other updates?? If so and this being an EA game they will probably up the price on the next packs to cover this free one.

NotW is currently posponed awaiting new rules

Nige this reply is fine the original reply sounded like it was wrote in a more provoking way, if it didint have the "what do i know" on the end it would have been fine, its just it comes across differently with comments like that on the end

In his defence i think he was on about the car not Andrea Pininfarina. what have i done :eek:, lol

VIDEO: How to do a U-Turn, Dubai style Posted Aug 7th 2008 3:57PM by Jonathon Ramsey Filed under: Etc., Videos Click above to view video after the jump Just in time for the Olympics, we have this entrant from Dubai who apparently didn't make the team for the U-turn competition was left at home to practice his talent in the streets. In diving across four lanes of traffic from a dedicated right turn lane, he gets points for elements of surprise, style, distance, grace, and follow through. We give him and his Ferrari F430 a 9.3. Follow the jump to see the video. And can anyone tell us, do they even have traffic police in Dubai? Thanks for the tip, J.D.! Correction: We've been told from a number of readers that the location of the video above is in fact not Dubai, but Saudi Arabia.

Yeah go on then, lets see your handy work

Ahh k, I'll have to have a measure up and see how much room I've got to accomadate one.

I personally would hate to put it on, imagine if you finish it all and find an air bubble, i'd do my nut.

That Antec 1200 was on my shortlist before I narrowed it down (mainly went by looks and lights). So whats the difference between them ones and the ones I've put?? They all seem to be roughly the same size give or take a few mill

looks good and I think it'll be going on my shopping list. Just noticed you posted it the PS3 section aswell. Would it be worth having a Multi Platform Driving Game section for games like this, NFS (sorry for swearing), etc. just a thought.

Strange link works for me. I'll google them later and see what they are like

BMW owner tapes black car to white When a BMW 335i owner in Munich became bored with his black coupe, he hired a team to wrap it in white tape. Two days later, he drove home in his refreshed "Alpine White" coupe (with an M3-appearing black roof). No, it's not normal tape. It's a special 3M wrap, and the process is known as "foiling." Apparently, the German military has been using the process (with an olive drab tape) for some time now. Likewise, the process is popular with race teams and taxi companies. Available in countless colors, the tape itself is thick enough to protect the paint from minor chips and nicks, and it can be left adhered to the surface for 3-4 years without damage (!). Adhesion isn't a problem either, as the tape can even withstand an automatic car wash without peeling off. SOURCE: Autoblog

Iced did you take any pics of the building process??

Thanks guys. Well atm I've got it narrowed down to 3 cases, probably get the processor RB suggested, even tho the Extremes are good I can't justify the cost @ £650+. The same as I was looking at some of the NVIDIA graphic cards and the were about the same but then they were the ones with water cooling systems. Anyways these are the 3 cases I'm stuck between: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/107994 http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=452012 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/108008
