  1. We got a pretty good view here in SW Wyoming. My friend brought his Orion 4.5' telescope and solar filter out to the park. Saw some sunspots as well
  2. I won\'t go looking for mods there either - most links are adfly, which I entirely distrust.
  3. Doing the limbo with Sordid\'s Kobra plane: I had it even lower, but I didn\'t react fast enough
  4. I\'ve been looking at MCF every now and then. It\'s not *that* bad, as long as you stick to Redstone and Survival Discussion.
  5. I\'ll say this: Robots are cool. Without what we\'re doing nowadays via Internet and computing, my dream career wouldn\'t exist!

    Tact

    This is a poem I\'m analyzing for my American Literature class. It was written by Arthur Guiterman. TACT The Sultan was vexed by a dream That had troubled his slumbers; For, feasting on lobsters and cream With half-ripened cucumbers And lying with head to the South Gives the Night Mare full power: He dreamed that the teeth of his mouth Tumbled out in a shower! So, calling a sayer of sooth To interperet the vision, He charged him to utter the truth With unflinching precision. 'Oh, Fountain of Justice and fear of the infidel foemen, The vision,' expounded the seer, 'Is of dolorous omen; For Allah who governs this ball,- May his favor restore you!- Decrees that your relatives all Shall drop dead right before you!' The Sultan lept up in a fit Of devouring fury. He stayed not to issue a writ Or impanel a jury, But, 'Shorten this fellow!' he said, 'And be rapid about it!' So off went the soothsayer\'s head; He was wiser without it. One sage in the discard, they sent To the mosque for another, An augur of wilier bent Than his innocent brother. 'Now Allah be honored and praised!' Cried this shrewdest of mages, 'And high let your banner be raised, For the vision presages That long shall your Majesty thrive Like the fertile plantations; So long that my Lord shall survive E\'en his youngest relations! The gratified Sultan expressed His delight beyond measure; The prophet went home with a chest Overflowing with treasure. Which proves,- \'tis a principle still, Let the blunt-spoken weigh it,- A person may say what he will If he knows how to say it. If you\'re looking for the print version, I know it was included in a publication called 'The Laughing Muse'.
  7. Pffft, this man cooks noodles with a blender.

    Not unless you\'re willing to buy another to experiment with.

    I\'d say that you\'d end up unbalancing the props already on there and screw up the COG if you tried any of that. What you could try is replacing the battery with another battery of similar weight and size, but with more power.
  10. I become your closest friend and accidentally trip the on/off lever controlling the dome while on a visit. I then manage to lock you out by accident, and you can\'t tell me how to let you in through the shield. My hill - on accident.
  11. Perhaps someone should get the Better Business Bureau involved, unless this is outside of what their interdiction.
  12. I believe I\'ve got the Phenom II, though Speccy calls it a AMD Phenom X4 9750. It\'s held up quite well.
  13. If anything, they look slightly higher in polygon count.
  14. Funny thing; I actually play more Minecraft than KSP myself. Minecraft has got that 'thing' that draws you in for hours on end. KSP, on the other hand, rewards me for being smart and figuring things out.
  15. They don\'t release experimentals to the general public anymore, not after the .14 update. Instead, it\'s sent out to a group of chosen testers who will pick through it to make sure that all bugs have been documented and taken care of before the final version is released.
  16. They were probably lost when the server got migrated. I can re-attach them if you\'d like. Edit: Re-attached the skins for you to use. Enjoy!
  17. Wow. I can\'t believe that could actually GLIDE to a landing. It explains why they land so fast pointing up 30 degrees!
  18. I can theoretically put a plane just about anywhere on Kerbin. I fly the plane straight up, and adjust the trajectory to cross over the landing area. Your goal is to have a nice sloped path down. Done right, I can land entirely by gliding in or with a few tiny burns from the engines.
  19. I couldn\'t stop laughing at this! Yakkety Sax goes with just about anything repetitive. What are those fin-things on the base of the landing skids? Very nice. I was thinking about picking those up again just to try this challenge again myself. Please, do film this!
  20. Cool! If you\'re reading in between the lines, you can definitely tell how much this game has improved. Great work!
