Great info Chuck. Thanks! I've bookmarked this thread too. PNG files, yes- love 'em! The bloke I work with refuses to accept that PNG are the new JPEG's (They are great for photography too). It's all very infuriating! best, Tom PS, the 'upped' export looked great too (1400x 933)

Will Nexus run sketchup? Now that would be something! How about it Google? Brianb

Personally I'd go with whichever gives better performance out of the box. I'm not a big fan of OCing anything, but that's just personal preference. I figure if it isn't good enough on its own merits, why get it? I realize that for some folks, overclocking is just standard operating procedure; but I want my components to last, avoid voiding any warranties, avoid the need for fancy or excessive heat removal components and prevent any instability issues. It may cost me a little more to buy something more current rather than OCing an older component to get the same or slightly better performance, but that's just me. JMO, pick whichever goes faster out of the box.

I have USB ravage - I especially like the 3d model of him that runs around the screen eating your icons when it's plugged in. Here's one site that has him.

@escapeartist said: Are both of these linux based? The first one seems to be, not sure about the second. As far as i can tell kolibri isnt linux based. As i mentioned its written entirely in assembly language whereas the linux kernel is written in c.

Reminds me of that fractal generator someone posted recently. This is much more organic though...

I WANT ONE SO BADLY! Serious I want one, it sure makes sketches easily.

Cool! but I think U personally would have no use for such a chair inside... outside maybe?

This is a bit off topic I rarely use that so must be someone else's ? However, a ! is like NOT so if !selection.empty? is just like if not selection.empty? - i.e. do something if the selection is not empty - i.e. the selection has something in it - I usually use if selection[0] which returns true if there is something in the selection...

Hope I'm not teaching how to suck eggs but if you run this utility with all your devices connected, it should give you the latest info on driver compatability in Windows 7. It helped me a great deal.

@unknownuser said: how did you textured that in sketchup? Damned forgotten to answer Quite simply with that!

there are new versions out .2c and .4c and they still aren't working with win7??????????????

we have a saying in the rugby team i'm a part of solo, which might be of interest to you. "when it comes to alcohol, spillage is lickage." i've actually had to 'hoover' up a most of a beer off of a pub floor when someone knocked my drink out of my hand. pav

No hurry. I appreciate it though. I still want to figure out if it would be the sort of thing I would use.

I strongly suspect that chrome OS proper will actually be, or at least look like, GOSlinux. Google have been working with them for a while. http://www.thinkgos.com/gos/index.html

I found a third party application that allows one to add new commands for the magic mouse. I added a three finger click and assigned it the command 'Middle Click.' Started Sketchup and now I have the middle click functionality back. http://blog.boastr.net/

Thanks for the post.

yeah, it is great. no need to restart and you can do quick things fast. I made a quick test that allows you to select some text and it will say it back using google's text2speech (from translate.google.com). I also have a twitter jetpack that adds some additional information about an user. think I will jetpack one of my bookmarklet as well.

All the previous cryengines where game engines, so i assume this incarnation is also be real time.
