Nice job web-people! Auto-parsing of Orbithangar links - how long have we had that? :thumbup:
I'm not sure when it was exactly implemented, but for sure it's been much longer here than you on Orbiter-Forum. :P
 
Wait for it...

I can make the Kessel run in under twelve auto-parsecs...

My 3D Blueray player arrived... Next quest: Buy HDMI cable.
 
Yeah and a 3D TV as well (if not already bought) !
Me I "can't" have a 3D installation ...

already ordered, will be delivered on Tuesday. But the active shutter glasses will be bought next month, these are pretty expensive.
 
Graduating in a few hours.
Might rain out, in which case teh family will have very limited seating, but there will be a webcast either way. :P
 
Every kid know not to stick his fingers into the electric wall socket.
Smart kids figure out how to do this on their own - they use forks, ice picks, screwdrivers, etc.
But dumb kids won't figure out how to get their fingers into the socket, and that's unfair and unjust!

Fortunately for them, now there is an easy to use solution.

The following list of phrases and their definitions might help you understand the mysterious languages of science and medicine. These special phrases are also applicable to anyone working on a Ph.D. dissertation or academic paper anywhere.

"It has long been known" = I didn't look up the original reference.

"A definite trend is evident" = These data are practically meaningless.

"While it has not been possible to provide definite answers to the questions" = An unsuccessful experiment, but I still hope to get it published.

"Three of the samples were chosen for detailed study" = The other results didn't make any sense.

"Typical results are shown" = This is the prettiest graph.

"These results will be in a subsequent report" = I might get around to this sometime, if pushed/funded.

"In my experience" = once.

"In case after case" = twice.

"In a series of cases" = thrice.

"It is believed that" = I think.

"It is generally believed that" = A couple of others think so, too.

"Correct within an order of magnitude" = Wrong.

"According to statistical analysis" = Rumor has it.

"A statistically oriented projection of the significance of these findings" = A wild guess.

"A careful analysis of obtainable data" = Three pages of notes were obliterated when I knocked over my coffee.

"It is clear that much additional work will be required before a complete understanding of this phenomenon occurs"= I don't get it.

"After additional study by my colleagues"= They don't get it either.

"Thanks are due to Joe Blotz for assistance with the experiment and to Cindy Adams for valuable discussions" = Mr. Blotz did the work and Ms. Adams explained to me what it meant.

"A highly significant area for exploratory study" = A totally useless topic selected by my committee.

"It is hoped that this study will stimulate further investigation in this field" = I quit.
