I would second "Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by R. Pirsig - its a must read though heavy in places. Also Sun Tzu's The art of War. Which borrows heavily from the I Ching stuff already mentioned but this book is tiny and very readable. I tried the Tao Te Ching but could not make...

Minoring in art ? She must be real good at her majors then. Really great work...

I think this is first time I have had to quote myself !

RSync is the daddy of mirroring software see :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync Its a bit tricky on Windows tho. There are some more alternatives such as BeyondCompare has a good mirroring client. You want my opinion ? I just use xcopy from a DOS box. Put this into a bat file... xcopy...

Reading around the forum it sounds like you have a requirement for something more serious than Photoshop. Whilst photoshop is absolutely first rate for creating artwork the requirements for making maps are a bit different and you might find that you will save a lot of time if you used a...

This is the area where ViewingDale can be at its most useful. If you have a lot of maps, whether your own hand drawn ones or from various other printed sources and you can get them into an image format on a laptop, then you can fit them all together into one large seamless expanse and use a zoom...

Using paint shop pro you can set up two layers and blend between them. Im sure both photoshop and the free Gimp (for windows) will do the same. The problem is that you will need to get the original images of UK and New York. I say this is a problem because all maps of the earth use a projection...

V1.04 has been released so if you are a user then you can upgrade in the usual manner. All of the free utilities have been upped to V1.04 too. No big changes but for those of you using the free internet capable Dice roller (and I know that there are a lot :)) the new version has an extra...

It takes a small amount of effort to put stuff into DMZ. If you havent tried to do it then its not in it. You should know that by doing what you have listed, you are in the tiny minority of people with a reasonably secure WiFi !

The old XBox games I keep comming back to are the Halo's and Star Wars Battlefront I & II. The sequel is definitely better. I really liked Fable too - it took a while to get into and its definitely not a gore fest but its fun. Heroes is very good as are the ones set in Baldurs Gate. I thought...

An awful lot of PC people use my dice app and its graphics is done with OpenGL which is very Linux friendly and the networking sockets ought to port easily since they are based on Unix API calls anyway. Although there are a lot of Win32 API calls too, I reckon it would stand a good chance of...

I read it but it still does not figure. You can buy other countries stuff even if its mains powered and in any case thats something for health and safety guys rather than Sony themselves. There has to be more to this than is being reported. I know its a cute notion to think that the law is just...

Can anyone tell me on what grounds they were found to be unlawful this time around ? I mean is buying something legal and then selling it in another country with all the due tax and import paperwork etc not allowed ? Is there some license that you are bound by when buying a PSP ?

I am a bit confused about what you are after. Do you want the program to calculate the CoM or do you want to use your equations that you have to do it yourself and the program only has to show it ? Anyhow, I would say that Blender (dot org) is an open source 3D modelling package so I guess it...

to answer the last few posts... I was careful to say the plot contradicts itself where its not desirable for it to, or purports to model reality with absurd statements i.e. only if the intention was resolved and not adhered to is where the objectivity can be called crap. Discordant harmonies...

Interesting topic... I have been following this thread from the start with some interest. I thought that the original question is very similar to the general question posed in the book "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" where they take a very winding road that kinda, sorta, ends up at...

Yup - its very cool. A - definitely A....

Very unlikely to be a problem with BIOS. Its something with your OS that is not working or there is a bit of hardware that is failing and once the OS tries to talk to it then it kills it. Its difficult to say exactly what to do without seeing the problem and see what others have to say first but...

I saw it... I saw it and it was very disappointing. I guessed as much from the trailers but was holding out a small hope that they were gimmiky just to pull in some punters and the main show would have more depth. It was pretty shallow, jumped right in there with some fancy posturing and...

ViewingDale screen shots I list this here as ViewingDale is under the virtual tabletops section in heruca's program list which you might skip over since it is both a VT and a map making utility.
