Dear probe, please let me have proper Internet in the dormitory I'll be moving to...

After installing Rural German Internet Simulator:

With a LTE connection to a mast 15 km away and with some trees along the line of sight, so that you only operate with 300 bits/second and only loose about 70% of the packets.

Please hit spacebar for printing your IP packets and using a dove for transporting them to your ISP.

Is there any of these serious "*profession here* simulator" that is not from Germany? Well, except flight simulators of course.

The first overhead line bus simulator was from Czech Republic. :lol:

Also SimBrick was sadly no German idea.

Mass effect:

Information terminal on the Citadel: Volus established their embassy 2,384 years ago. Current year: 2,183. 201 BC: Carthage surrenders to Rome after the Second Punic War (also known as the most awesome war involving Romans, ever).

Stuff like that must be intentional, right?

That is without a doubt one of the worst fake Russian accents I've heard in my life. . . :lol: :dry:

Do you have the Pro version of Sketchup? Then you can use the in-built function to export .skb to .obj, import the .obj into Wings3D, texture that, and then export it to .msh using the aformentioned .msh exporter.

Oh, how convenient. I mentioned this not so long ago. :thumbup:

The only reason I can use Anim8or (and make images like this) at the moment is because SketchUp 2014 Pro can export in .obj files......For the record, I currently have 3.85 hours left on that demo.

I would recommend 5 beers/person at a nice place but alright, let's break each other's fibula.

50 liter keg is already chiling for tomorrow. Should be enough.

That sounds more like it.

But if you have the free version (like me), you need a plug-in to export to .obj. Since it's the free version, it tends to divide all of your faces into triangles. I clean that up in Wings3D by selecting faces with identical normals (facing the same direction) and pressing backspace.

Wait, SketchUp Pro (demo) does the same thing (make triangles) when exporting to .obj. Also, can't Anim8or clean up triangles? I thought it could (even though I never figured out how)...

Does anyone here use Haskell ? How does it compare to C++ ?

When the demo was still active, whenever I imported an SketchUp-exported .obj into Wings3D, there were no triangles.

A program called DMDE is able to recover the vast majority of the files from my failed hard drive. Far exceeding results with any other tool I tried. And the (one year) license was only $20!

I'm considering putting my drives in RAID 1 with the old drive being the mirror. Evidence continues to point to the failure not being the fault of the drive.

I... I think I recovered every single file that I wanted!

Me, today:

 

[garyw]

[/COLOR]Had a weird crash while using the new hard drive...
Fluke number two? Or mother board out to get me...?

(A thought... I'm using the same SATA cable as before... maybe I shouldn't)

So with those issues you have backups don't you?

 

[Quick_Nick]

Incredibly, no.
I don't back up very often... that needs to change.
I was lucky to backup my laptop JUST before it died last year.
This desktop wasn't backed up at all - I meant to do it soon, and did not predict a drive failure so early.

Again, that DMDE program recovered absolutely everything I wanted luckily.
And I just now got RAID 1 working. I'm using Windows' mirroring rather than hardware RAID (and had to download a (free!) upgrade to Win 8 Pro to do so).
I have 732GB mirrored between my two HDDs and 198GB left open for each separately. (20% more space than if I mirrored the entire disks)

I copied the stuff I recovered over to a flash drive.

Does anyone here use Haskell ? How does it compare to C++ ?

Roughly like trying to eat soup with chopsticks. I would not use Haskell unless I absolutely had to. And had a weapon pointed at my head.

Maybe try Python or Perl instead? What do you need to use it for?
