Aaaand now I want to play Sub Command (Ironic, with the posts mojoey has been making, because it was also made by Sonalysts, who made Dangerous Waters. I think that was actually the 'spiritual successor' to SC). Wanting to play SC makes me sad, and also frustrates me.
You see, there was a glitch in the third mission. It couldn't be finished. I never got past it, and I actually only recently got rid of the game (that's the sad part - I actually liked the game quite a bit).
There was a Udaloy that was doing a missile test, shooting down an empty drone (an Airbus A330 I believe). Your objective was to take station on the Udaloy, observe the test, take a picture, then leave, without being detected. Problem was you could satisfy all the mission criteria, and you still could not achieve Mission Complete status.
And now I know why.

Uh oh, this could be bad. Three really good classics, and I could spend hours on all three. *sigh* If I get this, the ideas I have for the Cortez will never see the light of day.

My original CD for 688(I) didn't like new OSs too much.
Oh man, that'll be hard to resist! I would probably get it on Steam though. (It's there )
I don't know if it's any more compatible on Steam than otherwise though. My original CD for 688(I) didn't like new OSs too much.
I think I'll just have a seat...

Actually, I looked more like Riker a few months ago...
Yeah I saw that it was out there. Considered grabbing it that way. Amazon has the digital download option of the trio though, so I may go that route instead.
I know Sub Command will work on Windows 7, not concerned there. It'd be Fleet Command and 688(i) I might have to mess with (or run in a virtual).
New job is very satisfying: working in a garden centre. Outside all day, watering plants, and putting out the occasional cigarette fire. Not getting further ahead financially, but hey, it's not a kitchen.
A vertical forest is nearly complete in Milan. There are two tower apartment complexes which contain a total of 400 residential units. The facade of the buildings will be covered with 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11,000 perennial plants. It is expected to have the same ecological impact as 10,000 square meters of forest.
Aside from fighting smog and producing oxygen, the foliage is expected to provide insulation to the residential units.

Hmm - idea seems good however living with all those trees on the building amount of insects will be staggering. Beetles, wasps, maybe even hornets will have great feeding ground next to suitable home.
Kitchens aren't that bad you know. I actually really enjoy my weekend job at the local airport cafe. (Kitchener-Waterloo, YKF) Its nasty work ploughing through food & garbage, but time spent arms deep in a sink is great for thinking. I forsee many a good Orbiter idea arising there :thumbup:.
Interesting troll math I found: constant of integration = 1.
antiderivative of Cdx = Cx+C = C(x+1)
However, C is technically a constant, so we can bring it outside the integral.
C*antiderivative of dx = C*(x+C)
Thus C(x+1) = C(x+C)
Thus C must = 1.
Since my understanding of calculus is only as much as I can learn from the internet, I can't find the error in this proof.
Also, excuse my lack of math tags. I cant get it to work with integrals.
Random thought: Plank Length = Reality's Pixel
HELP!
Which one is more important? ISS spacewalk or FC United of Manchester playoff if won they are promoted.
Next time they should leak their tanks during off season...
The plank length is the shortest possible length, but I'm not sure that longer lengths have to be multiples of the plank length.
Also, I'd think that if reality were pixelated, we'd observe something like Chebyshev or Manhattan geometry rather than having distances determined by the Pythagorean formula.
The Planck length is thought to be a fundamental unit of length below which length or distance has no meaning.
