uhhh - that's "Lara" Croft - best to get the important things right eh....? cheers rabbit

It's been around for a while: http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2011/1/17/from-sweden-next-gen2c-nsa-like-3d-maps-thatll-knock-your-socks-off.aspx The issue will only be: when the world will be scanned with this advanced - but obviously expensive - method? We keep seeing some of those amazing examples but it will be something like Street View probably: the "interesting" or "important" things will soon be available - and nothing else.

Whole experiment is interesting. I do like the Locking. It is amazing how precisely the disks locks in its position! p.s. I am sorry for the doubled post. Haven't noticed former. Mods please merge both.

Now ask which app crashes your Mac?

Dang, I can't juggle or solve a rubik's cube.

Ohhhhhh my head. I'm being so productive at work (sarcasm) 2day hangover

Thanks, mitcorb, sid I found the app I like most. On sculpting I mean. Though based on less attractive developing solutions, still straight into art. No jokes. It's not just about developing, it's about a team that listens carefully to the artists needs. And they never asked money for upgrades...

Interestingly enough, OWS isn't even getting media coverage anymore ... I read from 4 different news sources on the 'net on a daily basis and not a single one of them reported an OWS event. However, Jennifer Lopez did have a breakdown on stage: http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/24/showbiz/celebrity-news-gossip/jennifer-lopez-stage-break-down/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 Cheers.

this may help you in the United States... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use_%28U.S._trademark_law%29 when describing, suggesting the use of or critiquing a product it is considered "fair use"... the big point will be are you making money from the use of the trademark? if so then you'll need to acquire permission or license to use the trademark.

Thanks Tomaz for the headsup. I was not aware of this problem (Smart meters) and it could be a problem for people living nearby those smart meters, particularly whoever is sleeping in the bedroom above that bank of smart meters. I think I will do some more reading up on this subject. Mike

Had a similar problem: on bootcamped windows, the wireless card didn't find my wireless connections, but found all the other ones surrounding my home. I went in my router settings and changed the Channel Lenght setting from 20Mhz to Automatic (20/40Mhz) and it worked. Try this and let me know

@hfm said: A bit suspicious as to what the presets do, and if it will be as easy for your own photos. I guess it's just because it's still in development.

Thanks Gai. I will explore.

@michaliszissiou said: OK then. Still remind you the eight digits texname issue. @Pilou Lol I dont believe in textures I paint them on in photoshop later!

Maybe the side walks are full of dog shit. Anyway, dog shit or not, people in my town have always walked on the road, too. At least as far as I remember. Nothing new in that.
