Celestia Forums

So I was on the internet surfing for some research for another brilliant episode of NCIS (Tuesdays, CBS, 8:00 pm) when it dawned on my that some of my peeps on the board here may already have a good lead on some good intel for me. Basically, I want to do a heist story - with the heist involving moon...

Ah... I see. Basically you want the final frame of your loop to match up perfectly with the start frame - which, in our solar system, just doesn't happen very often. Well, again, my two cents would be to make a copy of the solarsys.ssc file (and save the original). Then play around with the orbital ...

...The Big ElC important? Well, I don't think we actually have a formal rating system here. But I would throw in (my usual unsolicited two cents) that if one ranks importance by kindness, helpfulness, contributions and generally being in the role of peacemaker when conflicts DO arise... well, the B...

If someone make the work for you, fine, if not you will have to dig by yourself the forum to find the solution to your problem. You should have a place in some important position, this reply is soo many useful and intelligent The Big ElC important? Well, I don't think we actually have a formal rati...

fsgregs: I think now we found a point that we can both agree to. It MAY be that You find infinite copies of Yourself in an infinite universe. But it does not follow as a coerciveness out of the universe's infinity that You find infinite copies of Yourself. So then what are the odds that one of fsgr...

Thanks for the post, Fridger! Time permitting me, I'm looking forward to digging in and checking it out. And thanks for being open to questions. Hopefully, I shall be able to find those answers in the "noise of purgatory"...though considering the first page goes back all the way to March 18th, I fig...

2. In an infinite universe there are as many earthlike planets as there are stars. What if the space is infinite, but the matter is not? Though, mathmatically-speaking, would that also be a paradox? In that the ratio of the volume of the finite matter to to the infinite volume of space would basica...

Great stuff, Buggs (including the quote). Thank you. Chaos, also thank you. I was not meaning to challenge the light cone-limits...just was asking if there were not legitimate theories out there that might. I really don't know - though I did read a fantastic book by Jaoa Maguizo (sp?) on the subject...

A TWO-PARTER First...off-topic: Malenfant...are you reading the posts in this thread or just skimming? Because the answers to all your confusions lay within. The reason Frank is frustrated lays within - which clearly eludes you since you are seeing it as vacillation ("Make up your damn mind!"). Type...

Call me crazy...but what's the problem with simply having a 2 or 3 tiered P&A forum? P&A - Level I - beginners P&A - Level II - more intermediate level questions P&A - Level III - high level stuff Or just two levels - beginner and advanced. We leave it up to us to self-regulate...and...

So... what do you guys think of my infinity reasoning? I thought the reasoning laid it out very clearly and poetically. But I wonder if it is completely sound. For example, certain starting conditions favor certain outcomes - so all variations may not be possible. As far as I've been able to tell t...

Your first paragraph demonstrates exactly why it's unsuitable though. It's entirely unprovable, entirely subject to conjecture, and therefore entirely unscientific. So there have never been things in the realm of science that were once considered unprovable... until someone "wasted" time doing "tho...

Well, I was offended - not so much by the word "average" - but by the use of the name "Joe". Are you suggesting that people named Joe have a sub-standard intellectual ability?



(I'm sorry... I just cannot help it - I promise this will be my last post on the subject)

You may know the way round here. So may I. But someone new on here won't though, and will inevitably make some faux pas to piss people off (like post a quiz or something). And then we'll get this sort of argument again. Wait a second... that gives me an idea how we can totally solve everything. We ...

I haven't been to the boards in a while and have tried to catch up but, could someone please clarify for me.... As far as I can tell, all this ESSENTIALLY boils down to which forum the Quiz should have been posted in - Purgatory vs. P&A. No matter how I see it, I don't see it any other way. On t...

Any one have any idea how to build a universal binary with Xcode for OS X? I know how to build on PPC...and figured it was just as simple as checking the "Build Universal" check-box... but that appears not to be the case. I can build an Intel version just fine...but I want to make my build (with all...

Steven, I don't think there is a way to browse to that location from the Celestia page. That directory contains tarballs of all of the SourceForge projects. They're documented on the page http://sourceforge.net/docs/E04/#nightly_tarballs The tarball contains a copy of the CVS archive, not a simple ...

As soon as CVS is allowing accesss, I'll compile versions with those patches.

SDB

I believe there is a patch out there for doing overlays in OS X... as soon as I get a chance to compile the latest CVS, I should have it up at http://www.stevenbinder.net.

Thanks,
S

Selden... just curious... how would I navigate to that file from the web-site itself. I can't seem to find it. Thanks, S EDIT: Actually, also - is the tarball, once uncompressed, the same as a download from CVS (mine looks a bit different)? I only ask because I can't even get Xcode to open with it. ...
