Suits Frank Herbert decided not to sue George Lucas. This must be Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Addressing Addressing Modes These are different *addressing modes* (that's what you should gogulate upon). In sane instruction sets, these modes map into bits in the instructions. As someone already said, it's the assembler's job to figure out what you mean and pick the right instruction and...

Yes, that's why it should be used in a medical radiation source that lets just the right amount of the poison out. Speaking of kitchen mellow, I have found satisfyingly potent kava at HEB, a Texas grocery chain. I do not understand how anybody could put it in milk. I am not brave. Ugh, I...

AutoFCS just deorbited and landed the G42-200 Starliner. When I popped the canards out in the HAC, it seemed to go a little weird. I was able to steer with the keypad and landed on the runway - it seemed that AutoFCS was trying, but the canards messed it up. Will need more experimenting with...

I made a Photobucket album of launching AMSO Apollo 12, with cute names and wiseacre descriptions, http://photobucket.com/apollo12orbiter I'm intending it to introduce people to Orbiter. Enjoy and share!

This is just a guess, but that way both pilots have tactile memory of the throttle setting.

Maybe it should be an RTG-style reactor?

Okay, so it's carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide, which Wackypedia abbreviates as C/SiC. :cheers:

That he made this documentary is proof enough he didn't go just for "personal pleasure." Richard Garriott doesn't "happen" to be obscenely rich. He earned it with a series of damn good games. He put in the hours. He is spending his own money on something he loves, and since he's an artist he...

All In The Family It's in his family - his father is Owen Garriot of Skylab and Spacelab-1. Saw on a recent docu that the elder Garriot now has the same beard as Richard :cheers:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nassp/ says, "Last Update 2012-04-17." As I understand it, NASSP is updated via CVS, "To get the latest version of Project Apollo you don't have to do the initial checkout again but you have to a CVS update." -http://nassp.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installation (I...

Motivation Yes, oh Great Gauss yes! It has to do with the motivation for making these computer thingies in the first place. Calculus is (these days) taught through limits, which is how to add up an infinite number of infinitely tiny things to get a useful number. Approximating that gets...

I use NotesMFD and put the info from Post #1 in this thread into a text file for NotesMFD. I keep the checklist in an ExtMFD window. Can't imagine flying without the checklists up at all times! Notes MFD

Perception The picture our media paints is cartoonish. Just take the astonishing ignorance backed by arrogance that our media displays in space flight coverage (NBC's Jay Barbree *arguing* with Buzz Aldrin about the meaning of "staging"), and understand that they are just as clueless about...

Works with CMLander in my very crowded Orbiter 2010 + D3D9 Client install. Danke viele schön! (CMLander CMlander)
