H2O.

So nice to see that it still works! But before going on a trip, one should at least remove the oxidizer on the nuclear stage.

I confirm that what the OP describes is exactly what I experienced on linux. Do you guys confirm that your OS is not set in english?

I'm laughing so hard it hurts

Hum! That's embarrassing, I made a typo! Gosh, I wrote a script rather than check my spelling... That is overshooting! Anyway, no need to open a bug report, isn't it? Although the behavior is new, the underlying problem is the same than before.

Thanks sal_vager. It should be noted however that it is useless to write those parameters in the steam prompt. I wrote a little script and it works but that is a pain for anybody not comfortable with a computer. Anyway thanks again sal_vager!

Ok, so it is a language issue. My computer is set on "French" with regional options as "France". I've just logged in an "English" session with regional options as "USA" and it worked. My guess is: accentuated letters or decimal symbol (coma versus point). The problem that plagued ksp on non-english computer is back and worse (it now impact some windows OS too). I switch to "solved" for now. Solution: switch your OS language to English for KSP sessions.

permissions of the file : -rw-rw-rw- 1 me me 23953 mai 4 19:47 settings.cfg Besides, it would be weird; a part of the file is correctly rewritten: the keys bindings. Am I missing something?

Thank you for your reply, sal_vager. Unfortunately, I have already tested what you said and there is no results. I am running KSP.x86, I have already deleted the settings file and KSP created an other one. I have tried with KSP.x86_64 and I've tried LC_ALL=C too. Action Groups are saved though, but the key bindings for action groups are not.

Ok, so it is actually weirder than that. Not every key bindings is saved: action groups are not. Perhaps it is a keyboard layout issue (I have an azerty keyboard)?

Don't worry guys, version 2.0 is on the way !

I've been running into this glitch since 1.0. The key bindings are saved correctly from one session to another, but nothing else (audio, graphics, etc.) The "settings" file is written correctly when I change settings, but when I re-launch the game the file is rewritten with default option (except the key bindings). KSP is a steam version, clean install (currently 1.02), no mods and my OS is Xubuntu 14.04 with nVidia 311 officials drivers. Any idea ?

Some of those computers haven't been a big success (PDA and the E-reader). Historically, computers were successful because of software, nothing else: spreadsheet and word processor for the PC, SMS for cells phones, e-mails for the professionnals smartphones (blackberry) then the combo Angry Birds + Facebook for the general public market. There is no killer app for the tablet, that is why most people who bought one don't use it (to be fair, you can argue that the web browser is the killer app for the tablet, but then a tablet is just a laptop without a keyboard). The watch can turn out to be a successful device (by successful, I mean that it will last decades) if and only if a killer app appears. I don't see it right now, and Apple either for all I know. It can happen, right now it haven't.

The Apple watch is right now a glorified ipod that you wear on your wrist. It is useless, ugly (well, that is my opinion) and a symbol of consumerism in the worst sense of the term. Apple knows that fact and that is why it is sold as a fashion item, not as a productivity tool. There is also the problem of privacy with all those "health" programs that will run on it. Oh don't get me wrong, it will sell like crazy, but it will stay in drawers, like tablets (an other piece of useless junk in my opinion, although it can have some use as an embeded device, in a car for instance).

The vanilla Ubuntu is a very good Linux distribution, but the Unity desktop is controversial. I personally think that it is OK, but not as productive as a "classical" desktop. But that's why Linux is so great, there are so many choices, you can change your mind until you find what you really like. I will advise you to try several distributions, it is fun and rewarding!

I'm a huge fan of Xubuntu (it is what I use on my personnal computer and in my office) myself and yes, the whole desktop is quite similar to Windows. Just to react on the whole "I don't want to use the command line" from the OP. You probably won't have to if you stick with default options. But it is really not difficult at all: it is just a different mindset, there are tons of tutorial on youtube that would help you a lot. I learn that way and with a bit of forum research, you will fill the gaps easily.

Don't. Antivirus are basically snake oil. Use Firefox with Ghostery and AdBlock plus Microsoft essantials. If you are wory about other users on your computer, consider installing a linux distribution on a dual boot so you can sleep well. Really, don't spend a dime on that.

Job sites are not better than Facebook. I'm not on a rant against Facebook, I just try to point to you the dangers of any social medias. You've got nothing to hide right? Well yes you have: do you want your insurance company to have access to your medical record? Do you want the police to know if you are politicaly left, right, center, anarchist? Do you want your parents to know what you like to do in bed with your girlfriend? Do you want the Torries government to know that you buy books on socialism? And Facebook is all against those kind of secrets: it wants you transparent, that is the business model. Tell me it is not dangerous.

First of all, it require your real name. This forum doesn't. Second of all, it doesn't create new contacts, as you say it "allows [you] to have a profile and talk to other people [you] know". While talking to people you know is okay, the whole concept of a profile is utterly stupid. Why on earth would you put even your name on display? I get that you want to stay in contact with people, that's only natural. But western society have invented a concept call "Secrecy of correspondence" that cannot be enforced on Facebook.

->Frozen_Heart There is a difference between cutting contact and not following a stupid trend. Facebook is plain and simply dangerous, at least politicaly; saying otherwise is so naïve it is scary. Have you ever read 1984?

I'm totally with you on this. God I hate Word, or PowerPoint, the whole Office bundle actually. What was that c**** of an idea to replace a perfectly ok GUI with that ridiculous ribbon thing? And why is it so slow and ressource heavy? 64-bits, really? To send e-mails and write letters?

True, but this is bad calculation. An half-decent box cost 400 €/$ and can run for 5 years without any problem. You end up with a cost that is less than 100 €/$ per year, which depending where you live is the cost of 1 to 3 hours of work.

I really disagree with the ban...

On the subject of Java: yes it is quick and dirty, but quick and dirty actually works. I know that such a statement is borderline heresy and I am fully aware that bad software can lead to disasters. What I mean is that for most business a software is just a way to save time. Exemple: a program does an inventory verification in 5 minutes, while a human could do it in 10 hours. The program is horribly coded and could do the same thing in 1 min. In the first case your business save 9 h 55. On the second case your business save 9 h 59. So already the difference is pretty much inexistant, although quite real. But actually in the first case you save more than 9 h 55: you save 10 h because your employee doesn't have anything to do anymore; and in the second case, well you save 10 h too. So there is actually no difference at all. That is how a manager see the problem and actually I think he is right. As somebody with scientific and technical background it took me a while to understand and aknowledge that.

Ok guys, I'm currently reworking on the lifter and I have found a possible new solution for my ship. But I need your opinion. The new one has 3 boosters instead of 4. As a result the ship: has less parts is less expensive has more delta-v is lighter the 3 boosters thing is just cool, I don't know why but it really is BUT I cannot decide if this is good looking or not. So would you please look at the pictures bellow and tell me if it is OK or not?

Simple and elegant. The fun of a Saturn V minus the complicated flight plan. Good job!
