  1. I got down as far as 250m before I met the Kraken. That was in v0.23.5, I've not been back since.
  2. I found it annoying to work with, so I dumped it. Maybe I'll try it again some other time when I've more patience. lol
  3. Yes, I problem I just spent several days pulling my hair out over... and as of last night, abandoned the project. :/
  4. I've abandoned my 'Algernon' project. It's long story, but it boils down to a parts count issue... things didn't go as I'd hoped. I have a few pictures I was going to post, but I'm rather displeased with Imgur... I find it a pain in the butt to use. So, apologies for that as well, as I've deleted the Imgur account, so anything I'd put up previously is now a dead link.
  5. I've done the same without ever giving that a second thought. I have no idea how to revert it. Does that really matter/have an impact on the game?
  6. I seem to recall just recently that SpaceX had a major setback, as did a recent Ariane launch from Wallops... boom... so much for modified engines. Elon Musk had stated that Ariane 5 wouldn't be able to compete, but I do wonder (even if he attains re-usability) where he'll stand with Ariane 6.
  7. I remember reading once, a good few years back, about some cosmological study being done of distant interstellar 'dust' clouds... and how one had been discovered with a 'molecular signature' of biological components - the irony of which was the indication was that it was a cloud of 'vinegar'. Go figure that one. So, like, we're salad? lol
  8. Dogpile is a metasearch... just brings you results from multiple engines. Still good however... Arfie rules lol. Somebody made a post about Google (big business) being our masters. They are only if you allow it. What you allow is what will continue. If the they are your masters, it's because you buy into it... hook, line, and sinker. Just gotta have that latest phone, computer, tablet, car, shoes, clothes, etc etc etc ... they play to your false sense of "I need this" and your vanity. You are the enablers. Think about it.
  9. Ixquick I'll guess is similar... they don't track you or profile your habits, and they user their own proxies. I bounce back and forth between it and Google. https://www.ixquick.com/ I've also used Dogpile in the past... http://www.dogpile.com/
  10. I ran across this article a little while back (Nov 19th), which I found very interesting. Just thought I'd share it and see what the interest here might be about it. Spooky Alignment of Quasars Across Billions of Light-years VLT reveals alignments between supermassive black hole axes and large-scale structure As Spock would say - "fascinating".
  11. That last segment on the Bagel Rabbit vid... an actual model rocket launch?!? Freakin awesome! Nice job. I used to be into model rocketry, until they changed the laws about launching them in my state. Very cool. You'll have to tell me about the equipment you used, I'd be interested in hearing. *Edit* Oh, and I've subscribed.
  12. Yes, I understand... I used to code, I was a real-time data acquisition systems developer (among other things). The real difficulty you're hinting at, is data sharing between the processes and cross-process communication. I just wanted to know where the current stand-off of the situation was, on KSP's side or Unity's. Thanks for pointing out those threads... heading off to read them now.
  13. I don't care for Chrome, I'll stick with Firefox ... which is actually 'IceWeasel' from Linux.
  14. That's for an asteroid outside of Kerbin's SOI (still, very useful information). For all intent of purpose here, the asteroid he's dealing with is within Kerbin's SOI... so the approach to take would be the same as you would with Mun or Minmus..... match direction and plane and plot an intercept. Yes?
  15. I'm running Win8.1 and Firefox... all I'm getting when I open your example is nice big black box on the screen.
  16. I know KSP offers a 64-bit mode, but is it a version truly written 64-bit or (exactly as stated) just that - a 'mode'. Unless it's written 64-bit, you'll not receive the benefit of the power a 64-bit processor would offer.
  17. Yes, I could see that would indeed be a task. Maybe after Beta? I know both C++ and C# are capable of multithreading... but then again, parallel processes introduce a whole new set of problems and considerations.
  18. That's interesting. Is that because of the layout/build of the KSP executable itself, or related to the construct of Unity? Curious.
  19. This is a known problem, don't think it's changed/fixed yet. See here - http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/95382-Imgur-Album-embedding-no-longer-working-inside-spoiler-tags
  20. Glad to see you were able to resolve it!
  21. I guess you didn't read what I wrote? That's not my suggestion, that's straight from the Devs off of the Shatters.net site. If you doubt that, I then suggest you visit the new forums at CelestialMatters and pose the question to them - they are the developers. http://forum.celestialmatters.org/index.php
  22. You can turn the music all the way down/off in KSP and still keep all the rest of the sounds (engines/explosions/etc) while listening to whatever you want.
  23. Yes, that's about what they cost. I have tried/listened to 'real' hi-fi equipment in my time, I found the difference negligible... despite my audiophile maniac friend insisting my ears were tin and that I was nuts. And yes, pretty much to my experience, nearly all computer accessories/components break after a year or two. But that seems to be the way of things these days - planned obsolescence. Every 6 months or so the latest greatest thing comes out making all your other stuff old news. I'm quite impressed with the sound on my laptop, pumped out to my JBL speakers it sounds pretty good... and in the Sony headphones I have too. To each his own I guess.
