Does this hiccup affect "#9"

At least now people can't opine about Google holding SU development hostage for purposes of populating Google Earth.

Both thoughts I had while reading the announcement and the Trimble pdf to it's shareholders.
Maybe it will help develop the product past what Google needed it to do to help out their own interests (google earth).
Maybe we will finally get a 64 bit version of the product? (I use Twilight, main reason for this)

I would hope that they would carry on the tradition of Basecamp (that really wasn't a Google exclusive thing, was it?) - that way they can announce a new version and explain all of this to us in person...to assure us everything will be all right and what great advances will come out of this new partnership/owner.

...or it could be a trainwreck

Love the bowling heads!

Great projects Antoine and the designs are a mix of old and new...are this all your designs?

Your visualizations are good but needs to update it and push the bar even higher, your sketchup modeling is excellent though.

Yeah, I'm a Design Architect, but ultimately the client and my boss are in control of what direction the designs end up.
The Grand Prairie projects (the first set that made the "Make it Real" thing) and the Mesquite project - that is a little more the firm's design direction. The Courthouse was the result of a client that was set in the past, but couldn't see what a modern version of a courthouse could be...they lacked vision and only felt comfortable with the familiarity of the past. It was a disappointing design project for the whole team, as you can see from the nearly 30-50 designs we cranked out...all in all, they got what they wanted and we made sure that it had some good classic and modern details.

Here is my first set of images in Thea Render for a Recreation/Aquatics center in Oklahoma...

Han and Chewie must have attended school here.

No joke. Go to Google Maps and type in the address below. Switch to satellite view and zoom in.
Parkland High School, North Cedar Crest Boulevard, Allentown, PA

WIN!

Crossing my fingers as well...

Man that is sweet Tig!
Thanks for another great ruby!

Yes - once again I have found some tools and hardware that I didn't know about before. Great job as always gang!

Do you mean we should add a Cornel Bar subforum, too, that people can sign up like for the foreign language forums?

On a forum that I moderate, we did ended up with this solution back in the days of Bush (W) after his first term...it got pretty heated and there were so many flame wars that it became a huge issue with a large portion getting upset because of the "censorship" and "freedom of speach" was being infringed upon...we created a more mature (or immature) forum called Hot Topics that housed all the topics that became flame wars. It was by request only...and those that entered agreed that they would not get offended and whine to the moderators if they red something that didn't agree with their beliefs. It has been so successful that no one posts there or on the main site any political or religious items anymore.

Got to see the Jesus one - well played Jesus.

Here's a good one about the jacket...

Another problem, especially in regards to Rick Perry is he chooses to insulate himself with people of similar views, he believes what has made him a successful repeat governor of Texas is what will resonate in the rest of the country.

This sounds like a previous Texas Govenor and X President that now resides in my city. We don't need Bush Jr. in office! We know what that brings.

I love the Partisans response!
Too bad, the Jesus response isn't there any longer.

Anyone tried 123 Catch yet?

There's no dialog missing from the MatchPhoto box. With V8 it got moved to the Styles>Settings dialog. I suppose the help files haven't been updated.

Thanks - at least I found it. LOL

Still curious why my dialogue doesn't have the "Photo" section...but I found that if you go into Style->Edit- you can turn off the photos.
