» Paintball Gun Technology - Search for prior art
This question relates (specifically) to paintball gun technology and (generally) to pneumatically launched projectiles. I'm looking for a description of a paintball gun where all of the following are present: 1) A chamber which is "charged" or filled electronically (not by pumping) to preasure prior to firing of the gun. 2) Electrically releasing the gas from the above chamber, thus firing the projectile. Again, electrically not mechanically. 3) Electrically loading a projectile into a chamber. Again not mechanically but electrically. 4) The description or reference you find must have been published or printed or disclosed prior to January 16, 1996.

We all must find ways to achieve in life. Sometimes it is difficult because we battle excessively many stressors each day.

Does it matter, because I won’t achieve my goals anyway, because something will get in my way? The fact is these people are making excuses that will hold them back from accomplishing anything.

How can I find out the name and street address of a person/company by only knowing his/her/its email address ?Good morning Nicki! While it is sometimes possible to locate a person's name and address using only their e-mail address, there is no 100% foolproof way of doing so. Online directory listings depend largely on whether or not the owner of the email address has registered with a given directory, whether someone else has registered them, or whether they've been careful to keep identifying information off the interent. It's a little easier to determine contact information for a business, if they own their own domain name, so lets start there. Say for a moment you have a letter from someone@google.com .

» Auto-email new records from MySQL database
I've got a web-hosted MySQL database which collects subscription information for my email newsletter (such as email address, name, city, etc.) I would like to find some kind of code or app that watches a particular table in this MySQL database and emails me with new content that gets added to it. Specifically, when someone joins the list (adding a new record to the 'subscribedusers' table), this code/app would email me the field information in their record.Hi, I could write such a program for you in Java, it would just periodically query the database, every 10 minutes for example, counting the number of records each time, when a new record is added, it is then easy to retrieve it and e-mail you the data. You can then r...... - 2008-10-06
» Dns servers,preventing internet users from viewing all of my zones ( domains )
I have a question about dns servers.I was under impression that it is not posible to see list of all domains some dns server is responsable for.Basically I thought that dns servers don't list all their zones to anybody who request it.Then I found tool on domaintools.com called dns server spy and it seems to do just that.It list all of my domains ( zone files ) which are on my dns server.How is this posible ? What kind of query dns server spy sends to dns server to get this info ? As its not normal dns query,and its not zone transfer,because in all these queries domain name ( zone name ) is required.Also I am wondering how to prevent this from happeningOr is there some other method this tool ( dns server spy ) works ? Maybe it d...... - 2008-10-06
» Using the Creative Mind in Meditation for Self Development
We all must find ways to achieve in life. Sometimes it is difficult because we battle excessively many stressors each day. With our jobs, family, bills, etc we often find it harder to achieve any goals we set. Some of us don’t bother to set goals. These people often feel like, what’s the purpose. Does it matter, because I won’t achieve my goals anyway, because something will get in my way? The fact is these people are making excuses that will hold them back from accomplishing anything. They fail to see their purpose. When you have contrary rethinking, it causes one to lose his temper, sleep, gain counterweight, lose counterweight, and feel terrified and so on. You want to reduce these problems by meditating often. you must explore geniu...... - 2008-10-06
» Adobe Photoshop skills
I have to take an Adobe Photoshop skills test in the near future. Although it is not crucial that I pass this test, it would be to my benefit to get a few questions right.

Please provide a short list of Photoshop functions, features or tools that someone with "basic" skills should be familiar with.

» How to give credit for sources used in writing
Hello - I have a question about using other souces (books, magazines, etc...) when writing a book or manual. When you use borrow content and ideas from another author or writer to use as supplement in your book or report and you document where you got that information from, including the book and the author's name, but you did not contact the author directly for permission (such as talking to him or even e-mailing him), will you still be held liable for plagarism? Is just documenting where and whom you got the information from enough, or do you also have to get the author (and the publisher's) permission directly? Also, how much of the other person'...... - 2008-10-06

» How to Beat the Survival Game and Achieve Self Actualization
I don't know about you, but I spent a lot of years struggling to find a way to make time for self actualization. It always seemed like survival issues got in the way and stole all the energy I needed to achieve my higher needs and goals. I call this syndrome... Maslow's hierarchy Blues There were other symptoms too. My relationships suffered because of stress and low energy. I could barely even find time to learn or study let alone contemplate or meditate. Possibly it was made a little more difficult by the fact that I had 6 children and because of that my wife couldn't work much. I also never went to college before starting a family. With all this working against me how could I achieve self actualization? My story is a glaring example ...... - 2008-10-06
