any Test members at the IEEE PES conference in Chicago?

I am not a geek...I am an engineer....which means I am both a geek and a nerd...a Gnerk... Seriously, I would love to help out with this. I would probably be horrible at the coding (you really don't want an engineer coding if you have a real programmer available...trust me), but I can help with...

Two angles and a distance are meaningless unless you know the origin point. What you are referring to is charting a course from your location to a known point. So, to ID a location, what you want is three coordinates in X, Y, and Z, or have it as angle 1, angle 2, and distance from a common...

Test...do we REALLY want to be organized? This is my hobby, I do it for fun....when I have time to do anything these days.... Putting things on a schedule, standing up and sitting down on the clock, doing things other than to have fun (for whatever constitutes fun for you and the people you...

Still hoping for a tank

Actually, based on the "buggy" comments, I've seen some people speculating/hoping for some sort of tank. with heavy base armor. A 2 crew vehicle, with module that can add in a big weapon turret, a dual or quad turret, a missile rack that can be reloaded if more missiles are available nearby, or...

As many others have already asked...why do you want to learn C++ (or any particular programming language)? Let's give a for instance...."I grew up playing DikuMUD and I want to learn not just how to run my own server, but to make modifications to it as well." (I think Diku was written in...

The Origin 600...basically, the Connie Andromedia pre-nerf. Maybe a bit bigger, maybe a bit smaller. A true Space Superiority Freighter. Guarantee that if they do this, they will have a revolt on their hands...

To some of the best people in the world.... Happy Canada Day and congratulations on 150 years

Note, there is yet ANOTHER forum badge associated with this pre-sale. Last time there was a presale with the eclipse, those that bought it the first day got early access (by about 5 minutes before it was posted all over spectrum and here) to picture of the Nox...

For those that do not know and are wondering what LTI is... LTI = lifetime insurance...on the hull and basic systems. It means that if your ship is destroyed, you will get a ship in a similar condition back. That means you can't avoid repairs. If you don't repair it, when it gets destroyed...

Waxing Nostalgic.... My first online game (other than MUDS and my dabbling into UO) was EverQuest. Even with the (now) cheezy midi music, the blocky characters, the bugs, typos, and game design issues, I can log in and will still get a tingle walking into surefall glade or the city of Qeynos...

The surprise factor are the easter eggs we get. It's a space sim-ish game. There will be combat, there will be trade, there will be heroes and villains. There will be pirates, privateers, and the navies that catch them. There will be riches gained and lost...sometimes in a single day. The...

This looks like a one person spacebike. What does that mean? No idea. It might be smaller, meaning it will fit inside smaller ships better. This could mean it might fit in the cutlass (not sure if the current door would allow the drake inside, not sure about the revised version of the...

I agree with I_Mike_I. This is an older computer (4-5 year old chip from when it was new) and computers go down in price really fast. You are much better parting it out on ebay than selling it whole.....for a whole computer...I would not pay over $500 for this machine. Good luck and I hope...

RIP the once and future Batman!

The first and second stand are now fully assembled. Only 2 bags left to go. The detail and design on this are just amazing. My experience with Lego ended about 3 decades ago, excepting the occasional set I got for my nephews and nieces. Those are fairly basic in comparison. My hat is off to...

My set was delivered yesterday. I am taking pictures of the assembly process and so far, things look really good. Right now, I have completed 5 of the 6 bags needed for the first stage. I thought for sure I had been sold a bill of goods based on just the first pack, but no, this thing has...

If you are using spinners on your laptop, that is your issue (bottleneck) right there. Trust me, get an SSD and you will not believe the performance improvements you will see. I had platters on my machine and updated it to an SSD. Boot times went from minutes to 20 seconds. Load times for...

Do not try to get SC in 4k. I know this is not what you want to hear, but right now, the engine and back end servers are just not capable of getting you decent frame rates, no matter what you play on. If you are looking to play WoW in 4k, yes, that spec will more than do it. My wife runs a...
