    I can't find any imagery from ESA or JAXA, only three images from NASA.

    News Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, & Nuclear Disaster

    Sorry, I expressed myself badly. I meant that I can't complain about the accuracy, but I don't like conclusions you reach. Even the best case scenario just add more losses to the Japanese people.

    I complain about it's conclusion, not accuracy.

    News Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, & Nuclear Disaster

    True. If this happened in any other country, the death toll would be far higher.

    News Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, & Nuclear Disaster

    Newest reports say about 90,000 missing, and the quake reevaluated as having a magnitude of ~9.0 (some even say 9.1). Horrible event.

    Programming Question getting started with C++

    If you don't already know, two tutorials which are often recommended are from cplusplus.com and cprogramming.com. They both have good tutorials and also C/C++ references. For specific programming/compilation questions (and answers), google.com is your dearest friend :P, but I'd also recommend...

    Poll Can your cars engine operate with E10 fuel?

    Here, in Brazil, most cars can run on any mixture of ethanol and gasoline (the so-called Flex cars), and gasoline itself is a mixture with ~20% ethanol. No adverse effects as far as I can tell. I, on the other hand, am unlucky. I drive a 20-year-old car which doesn't work well with anything...

    Brasileiros? (brazilians?)

    :welcome: There are two or three (myself included) active Brazilians in this forum. There is also a forum group which I don't think is active, but that's useless anyway. Feel free to ask any questions (and to use the search function :thumbup:), and if the your mastery of the English language...

    Poll Does God exist? Is science true ? (Multiple choice!)

    I believe that belief is the most idiotic and the most crucial aspect of self. Belief should setup the most basic parameters of reality, and more than that is just stupidity and arbitrariness.

    Orbiter Wiki Cleanup

    True, but if you can find information on the manual, then it shouldn't be on the wiki. Caveats, comments and extra information may though. IMO, information from manuals should only be used when quoting.

    Orbiter Wiki Cleanup

    May I suggest avoiding putting duplicate information? That is, not accept information into the wiki if it can be easily found on manuals, such as API documentation, MSH file format, vessel operations, etc.

    Programming Question Wich programs has been used to make Orbiter ?

    Bytecode? Where did you get that from? Anyway, that doesn't tell much about the number of LoC or files that compose Orbiter, only that there's a good chance that those numbers are high. Too many things can change the final executable size for it to be a good measure of size of any kind.

    bilingual bonus?

    (Disclaimer: Google Translate probably translates those better than me) "Airlock" -> "Escotilha"/"Cãmara de Descompressão" ("Hatch"/"Decompression Chamber", no direct translation) "Stand Clear: Thrusters in Use" -> "Cuidado: Operações com Foguetes" ("Warning: Rocket Operations", no good direct...

    According to MSDN, #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN should exclude sockets from being included with a #include <windows.h>.

    General Question Lua or C++ for newbie developer?

    Urwumpe, pardon me for not replying on your level, with a comparable well-written post. No sarcasm intended, but I prefer not to romanticize choices. And my English is not that good. We could argue on your choices of metaphors (while you say 'driving a car' and 'calling a cab', I'd say...

    General Question Lua or C++ for newbie developer?

    No, NO! C++ is horrible for a beginner. Go with Lua instead. The reason for this is that you will be forced to take care of things you aren't yet prepared to. It's not about laziness, it's about frustration and usefulness. After you get experience on how things work on the surface, you may then...
