I am refering to this standard apple keyboard: Note the key in the lower most left hand conner

As a mac owner, yes they do, look at the key directly to the right of the \'esc\' key. On my laptop it is the button that dims the monitor but is also has written on it \'F1\'. To use that key as \'F1\' you need to hold down the \'fn\' key [for me this is the bottom most left key in the conner] and then press the \'F1\' key [aka the key that dims my monitor] to use is as 'F1' Hope that helps. P.S. If you don\'t like using the function keys as the preprogramed functions, there is an option somewhere in preferences that toggles it for you, although I don\'t know where exactly because i like those keys pre programed just as they are.

Its a slight edit and crop of this pic: http://www.wallchan.com/images/sandbox/38703-gone-in-smoke-by-titusboy25.jpg From: 38703-gone-in-smoke-by-titusboy25 I origannaly saw the pic on some youtube music video. The source of the face is likely some bit of advertisement, which the artist then worked with, but this is just speculation on my part. Regarding your avatar i give you 3.1415.....[you can fill in the rest] /2 Why the change in heart, I just recently was told that bronies actually like the show [i had no idea] so i give you an irrational number because anything that is not logic is irrational, and this is not a bad thing.... ???

I think he is hitting on me... Well this cold AI doesn\'t play nice... -1/10 Although the human controller likes the creepy heavy gif lol.

8.5/10 for atom methinks, if not that I still like the design. Well I can like things that I don\'t personally do, this is not a logical contradiction i.e. I like bright green cars, however personally i would prefer bright yellow or orange. There\'s no problem in liking stuff that you yourself do not make your own =P

9/10 I like it when there is a clear background it makes your avatar feel more a part for the forum [what ever that means] & +1 for happy face

I was thinking: perhaps the way to test safely is to re-stage your rocket... So you want to test stage 1 with solids attached as well, try this: instead of stage 2 being the decoupling of the solids and stage 3 being the lighting & decoupling of stage 1. Instead keep everything [i.e keep the same rocket] but make stage 2 activate a single solid booster that decouples from the rest of the rocket with just another decoupler + capsule + parachute. This is an intended emergency extraction, except you can get out at any time of you want. So the end of each test flight is this extraction from the rocket [be things going well or not]. Importantly you would be flying a multi stage rocket with only two functional stages. Therefore if you are testing solids, the next stage is not to decouple them, [you want to keep them attached] the very next stage is the single solid & capsule ejection. So wonce stage 1 is deemed safe you can then include the normal stage 2+3, [assuming you are using solids, if not then just stage 2] and then move you capsule ejection stage to right after that. Systematically you can test every stage safety. This works because you can test a rocket that has bad/unsafe stage, however you will only get to it when the very next stage gets allows you to GTFO, safely extract one\'s crew from unforeseen catastrophic technical difficulties.... =P In simpler terms, you have an abort stage that you will use at the end of the stage test, or if things take a turn for the worst, you abort early. This does require quite a few launches, any you may consider trying a good launch more than once to get a better feel of the rocket itself. I don\'t think I would try to test the rocket to its limits, because that might result is a partial failure that sends a single part hurling into your capsule. S:| Ship breaking in half or a single engine cluster detaching causing a complete destruction of the rocket, something you don\'t want risk Cheers P.S. Edit: -I would test the abort stage first, just to get an idea of how it handles, you are going to want to see how quickly it can turn [so that you don\'t turn right back into your doomed rocket if that be the situation. -Also I would test the lander in orbit of Kearth first before heading to the mun, so that you know how much delta V it has, and how long it burns.... This way you don\'t find out that you don\'t have enough fuel 1000m above the surface, and traviling 150m/s down :\'(

I dont understand how mass is related to safety? Could you explain, is this like the difference between a freight train and a car [only one gets totaled ???]?

Cannot agree more, [in-fact my finished rockets don\'t need rcs, they just use a mix of gimbaling and non gimbaling engines to get stability] Having said that though, togfox is going for max safety, so he should go for more control than what is normally required.

Quickly, [i\'ll have more commentary tomorrow...] You should already know that the two most lethal and dangerous parts are the assent stage where you have the greatest stresses, and load; And the decent stage to the mun. with the mech-jeb this should introduce some safety and reduce pilot error. Surviving both in a bad situation mean being able to safety extract your self form from the current failing stage. The most difficult part in building is merging a heavy lift rocket with a viable lander. To solve many of these problems means having enough control over your rocket, and this often comes down to RCS, you probably want a little extra here because this will allow you to have more control over your craft >> and this is how you survive the assent. speaking of control i would not use solid boosters until unless you need just a little more thrust at the beginning. the reason being that you cant shut them down, and detaching lit solids often smash into your ship. It is this lack of control that would prevent you from safety extracting to a higher stage. Question: have you considered the possibility of a rescue mission of a stranded capsule? Also when nasa was developing their rockets, many were unmanned, have you considered this. Finally have you considered using a radial parachute mod to give you a little more safety?

I rate this 8/10 + (.02 x every rock there: given 7,075 known near earth astorids ) final score 149.5/10 good job reminds me of this: http://youtu.be/S_d-gs0WoUw

Option C: Using treaties, but not holding your self to them you make peace. When you take corn in violation of the treaty the Iroquois become upset and try to take it back. Of course now you have your justification to quell this insurrection. Moving right along with a full belly you head to level 85, here you find a star-trek warp core (this is a green building!): Do you: a) eject it out into space because its totally awesome every time they do that 8) give plans to developer team, so that they can take heir simulator to the next level! c) allow the descendants of the recently slaughtered Native Americans use the warp core to power their casinos, as an empty jester to repay centuries of genocide :\'(

10/10 totally how some of my missions feel, great gif ???

This is a zombie thread it will never die :-X

@ Shuttle 18 - 8 for yet another pony + 29 for a gif of pony getting brain eaten from by a parasite, likely the one below: Its a Cymothoa exigua [Fixxbetz, posting while i type S:|] @Fixxbetz 4000/3000 because drugs are bad umm, K?

Option C. You stumble as your brain depletes its remaining O2. [this also causes threads to fade too]. The SAS solider is not too pleased with you stumbling around here and tries take you in for questing... However sensing the danger to his lead rocket designer Jeb [now Jeb the anti-mater / mater rocket from 75] blows through the window, smashes through some ammo boxes brought there by the soldier, setting them off in a blase of fire and smoke and RPGs, and heads at full speed for the soldier. Jeb grabs the would be captor, and with a tremendous whoooosshhhhhhhhhhhhh he sails out the other side saving you for the moment.... As he soars upwards you realize that you need to leave now, there is even less air and an exploding ammo dump makes poor company. Thankfully in the commotion the soldier dropped his trusty breathing googles. They cant have too much air, so you move quickly up to the next floor. Floor 80 is completely submerged in water, (good thing you have breathing googles) your options: a) grab a passing whale, and see where it takes you encounter Michael Phelps, smoke, uhhh something ... c) challenge the local octopuses to a game of twister

Barf, not avatar, definitely not intended to be > Greatly bored by move... but wait, KSP allows me to travel to distant moons.... SHAL NUKE FROM SPACE. [much more realistic ending =P] oh >>> great review of Avatar from red letter media: http://redlettermedia.com/plinkett/other-movies/avatar/ But to review the avatar above me: 2/10.53878357423892678543 Because I\'m not digging mass amounts of ponies anymore [no problem with real ponies], but you can be more original....

Hmmm, still not getting avatar.... well new rating, 13/71

Hmmm, Friendly looking skull, probably denotes a friendly looking mod. Rated: 66/6 Due to the non evil nature of all mods in-gneral dont ban me :\'(

A pony, the TARDIS presumably, flanked by tiki heads? Hmmmmm... I give you: ?-1 for the comprehensibility of the pic. 3/? for the uniqueness.

Option B: After looking at the mangled signs you realize that the sign saying 'Welcome to the 77th floor!' is so mangled that it really is says 'Welcome to the L.L. floor!' referring to the 'lobby level' floor. Jeb\'s rocket must have clipped it on the way up. So know you know that you are on the 75 floor, what do you find? Antimatter of course. At the prospect of actually becoming rocket fuel, Jeb makes a mad dash for it, he must become rocket. Your options: a) try to stop Jeb out of compassion for him try to stop Jeb out of a sense of self preservation, any antimatter reaction would surely destroy this floor c) order a Mai Tai*, sit back and watch the fireworks. Because you know that Jeb always comes back from the dead. * Which fortifies your resistance to antimatter reactions

LOL, I click the extraverted button before reading anything, thinking it\'s probably half and half. Loe and behold I\'m the first extravert! 8) I go between ENTJ and ENTP, currently more P probably because my major is Philosophy and the p is more of a thinker than the J which is more the leader. [interestingly my girl friend is also an ENTJ but is sometimes becomes INTJ << and she cant understand how this game could be fun :] But what does that make me Jeb? Well no, contrary to this: I\'m actually quite the good rocket maker, ENTP is often called the Inventor. observe my creative solutions: This gets the job done but lagged the comp, this was way back at 12 alt solution using op rockets, because i needed fewer parts, yes that is single stage to low mun orbit, but the previous rocket already did that, at a much lower frame-rate. here be thy lander, works superbly with non cheat parts, in this image you can see cheat tanks indented to extend the range because this was before presence and i wanted to really explore the moon, and I did not want to spend 30 minutes for a single touch and go satellite launch with stock parts a more recent satellite launch So ya, I think I got a little offended at the bash of extraversion, but no harm done :cheers:

Apparently having drinks from divine parties are really bad for you, as your mind clears and as you start to think straight you remember that it is impossible to violate the laws of mincespy er I mean physics. So you are either on floor 76, or 74. You radio Kerbal command center to get a fix on your location, Jeb picks up he tells you that... a) you should spend the rest of the next two weeks studying for your philosophy finals because only here lies the answer to all questions, and your grade (guess what i\'m procrastinating on..) :-[ he\'ll build a quick rocket to come and find you c) the only important thing you need to know is that... kchzzzzz.. shhhhhhhhhh... [radio breaks on jeb\'s end, presumably from the use of too many boosters] d) it is what ever floor you believe it to be, and there are no objective truths ??? [theres a philosophy joke there] :

You choose option 2, you leap out the window to get a better view of the stars. However before meeting the fate you have sent so many kerbals to, this roman god steps in... He transports you to 75th floor, offers you the glass of crimson liquid [see painting] and asks why you snubbed his party on the 69th floor. (he is of course the god Bacchous aka Dionysus, host of divine parties, perhaps you should have stayed) a) you answer at your discretion you take the a sip from the eerily beckoning crimson liquid, you must have c) you remember that there was a timer on the button that you pushed back on floor 68, it should almost have run out by now :

You push the button, and sprint to level 69 [taking the conveniently placed bazooka], arriving to find an ongoing Bacchanalia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacchanalia. Your options: a) use bazooka on party ignore party, but keep bazooka c) join party, but loose bazooka in the chaos and shenanigans that ensues S:| (frustrating because it is the obvious right decsion) ;P In the mean time you wonder what pushing that button did...
