remember, just because you can do a thing does NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD ! :facepalm:

and ... if you don't have the laptop .. a buddy of mine has been messin with this USB powered touch screen for a carputer application. This could easily be used in a cockpit mockup with this module.

...well ok - yes you are correct and so am I. I was thinking a bit more "behind the scenes"

Is anyone else thinking it'd be nice to have a single package replacement for the newly released space station modules? A download that contained all the modules and a config file that had them all assembled and in orbit. A replacement if you will for the stock SS.

A tad harsh .... but true. however on this I am glad you are not the majority. Anything anyone can do to assist the 30-50 users per day I assist with minor issue is ok by me. I wouldn't have a job then, maybe. But then maybe I could concentrate on making the back end of a business's IT...

MARCO ! :rofl:

awh Mustard .. don't worry bout it. I think xmariox has module envy. :rofl: Can't wait to take a look at the finished product - downloading now.

I've done it only at the doctors office. You know how you have an appointment and if you're x time late they tell you that you have to reschedule and that there is still a "missed office visit" fee. Well... I got sick (pun intended) of going to the doctors (or dentist's) office 5-10 minutes...

after watching some of those vids - all I've got to say is "natural selection"

Societies’ norms. What was allowed or permissible in public in the 1800's wasn't the same as it was in the 1960's and it's different now. I think what everyone is seeing here is that someone has noticed a change, raised their hand, and asked ... "is this the direction we really want to go?" I...

Tommy is totally right .. freezing is a "old trick", "last ditch" method to recover data from a dead or dying HDD. And he is also correct in that it's only going to work with a failure on the controller board (PCB on the bottom of the HDD) I've personally used this method successfully numerous...

I don't know if anyone else followed the links at the bottom of that page but one took me here and I ended up on the STS126 collection. These pictures are .... well, SPECTACULAR ! If anyone is needing "what it looks like" examples for design of anything on the ISS ... this is the collection...

Tommy's right... the first few times I watched what the Alt4 auto pilot was doing and now I can zip right up to orbit and manually doc. Complete with multi-axis maneuvers, powering up APU and opening the nose cone at the last second ... it's quite fun. Contact speed is usually ~.05m/s for the...

* being voraciously hungry and biting my finger because it didn't get out in time. * turning the corner in a hurry to pop open the door and head up the stairs to the 2nd floor only to realize that it's the door to the bathroom .... and not the mens ! * Closing the car door and then tapping your...

yeah ... larger targets are easier to hit and more rewarding. If the other OS's had the kind of penetration that windows has .... they'd be targetted as well. It's the same ole :firefox: argument. ;) But that is a whole nuther thread ! Missioncmdr - I can assume that you did the update...

Yep - welcome to the world of malware and viruses. I work for an IT outsourcing company in the chicagoland area and have seen of recent a surge of this darn vundo "trojan". In most cases you can resolve the issue by installing, updating then scanning your system with a malware scanner called...

That was going to be my point. While I was last in Florida there were several large sail boats that the marina reproted that the slips are paid for each year and yet, there they sit. Never anyone on them. In them. Or sailing them. That is way to much money to let rot. This one .... no signs of...

I beleave in pan-theism. it will all pan out in the end. and when the lights go out, you'll know who was right and who was wrong.

This video is from the Shuttle Atlantis’ Solid Rocket Booster. The recording is from just before separation to touchdown in ocean and includes audio! YouTube - SRB Camera 1

Scram profile was a challenge for me as well and this was what I'd come up with. 1) Take off - engage auto speed at ~200km/hr and turn to orbital inset heading. 2) Nose up to 45 degrees via the attitude autopilot and go throttle up 100% on mains. While climbing open scam doors but don't...
