was it downhill? haha and yes Escape Artist....your theory is similar to a turbo charger.

@unknownuser said: I think it is not available, but it would be nice to have an option to display a DC attribute in a regular text(label) inside the component. It would be good for a level tags and room\area tags. Already on my list...

This is not an answer, but I had this happen when I had a USB pocket storage device plugged in during an autosave.

@thomthom said: Like AJAX solutions often do? This approach is most often used for "inter-frame" communication. If there are 2 frames in a page that are hosted on different domains, the JS in one is not allowed to access the other, but many browsers allow you to change the fragment identifier regardless of security, so it might work in this case. (There are a handful of other mechanisms people have used to get around frame-2-frame security, and any of them might work. Searching on the topic might give us a clever workaround.) Ajax apps will often modify the fragment to maintain state in the URL, so you can still email URLs around and have your friends land on the same "page" inside an Ajax app.

@thomthom said: You're missing a puts. @thomthom said: > def onCancel(reason,view) > @web_dialog.close > end > Do you need to close the webdialog here? It does not stop the Tool. It is just a single stage tool. If an user presses escape I want to close the webdialog and deactivate.the_tool. Invoking @dlg.set_on_close {Sketchup.active_model.active_view.remove_observer ProperTool::get_view_observer; **Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(nil)**} will close the tool... and will trigger @web_dialog.close again. That is why it fires up twice.

Actually Martin.. that example was quick and dirty. It CAN be cleaned up. I was thinking it would be better to break out of the iteration when the proper match was found, rather then keep iterating, though how many paths do most people have in their $: anyway? You'd likely run a method and set a constant (perhaps Integer index into $LOAD_PATH) and then use that reference from then onward. So it should be a one time, startup type thangy... One thing I do is actually put set ENV['SUpath']

@unknownuser said: it seems the only thing these people that are dedicating their lives to finding 911truth will actually accomplish, should they prove to be correct, is the right to walk around saying "see, i told you so!" …meanwhile, it's business as usual for the powers that be.. agreed. business as usual. from fight club: "We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra." remember - after 9/11 bush told everyone to 'go shopping'. not to suck it up and sacrifice to bring the criminals to justice (who ever they were). not a call to arms for a draft or for good men and women to join the armed forces, coast guard, police. no, we were told to 'go shopping'. otherwise our precious economy could slump, and people would be out of work. and retirement accounts would dry up. and the market wouldn't perform for investors. then people would be out of money. tight on budget. maybe lose their homes. and people wouldn't be so blinded by the consumerism. the next shiny thing on sale. folks lie to their kids about santa claus, the easter bunny, jesus, god, and all the rest. i don't find it a leap that it would be easy for someone to let some intelligence slide through. to then let some folks take advantage of that to go to war. or push through new legislation. or just be able to play with some new toys. people do it all the time. husbands lie to their wives about what they do on business trips. ministers lie about being gay. a fib here. an outright lie there. its all human nature played out on a grand scale. its not crazy to think that there are those spooky NSA types out there. operation northwoods, questions regarding pearl harbor (who knew what, and when - and oddly - that there was an exercise going on at the time so radar was picking up the flight of b17s and not the japanese), the ghost ships in the gulf on tonkin, the sinking of the uss maine firming up involvement the spanish american war, wmds in iraq, misleading information propagated by celebrities about immunizations, hitler burning the reichstag to seize power. caesar being assassinated. climate change. it goes on and on. the scales change. the characters change. but we keep fucking with each other. lying, killing, profiting, cheating. for what - i don't know. regardless of whodunit, and why, the world has changed. we now have the TSA, wiretapping of US citizens (with corporate buy in to let the NSA do it). 2 wars. thousands? hundred of thousands dead. billions of dollars spent. thousands of soldiers returning home without proper medical care and mental health care. tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands) of lives ruined in iraq and afghanistan. and an environment where the US government can kill a US citizen with a secret letter - sending a drone to wherever you might be, without a trial, with no cause, with no way for you to face your accusers. but, there are fun shiny things. i'm off to boing boing to see some awesomeness. mission accomplished. and, FWIW, i think both sides of this debate have value. the truthers are as nuts as the believers. the reality lay somewhere in the cloudy middle.

@thomthom said: And the SU developers has said: the Ruby 1.8.0 implementation isn't a standard Ruby packages. Parts has been customized for SU In the thread related to Gem installation Dan compared bit by bit both rubies and they are identical. @thomthom said: which is why I'm very hesitant to change it. I would do that if I would be sure that nothing unexpected occurs, but no-one can predict it.

So you are saying, Tomasz, that you are not such a novice to unintentionally purge your layers. Hm... It seems that scripters do this via ruby.

FILE when ruby is scrambled is useless as it gets evaled, so you cannot use it. had the same problem when developing/using Sketchup Bridge. workaround: add the path to the global search path for loading scripts $:

looks a bit much like sci-fi. But if it's real... wow

Hi, Compressed Air Engines (CAE) is fairly old technology, but getting HP and torque from this is where the golden egg of Green transportation lies. [image: kfpS_forbes-compressed-air-engine_136.jpg] As you see even just driving around you'll be somewhat refilling the tank but not enough that'll result in constant charge. From a safety aspect, sitting on a highly pressurized cannister compared with a tank full of fuel, i'd prefer the good ol' combustion engine. Fuel unless ignited is harmless, compressed air is like a bomb if ruptured. I'm sure they've factored in the containment of such pressure(300psi) but if you've ever seen a nitrogen or oxyacetylene cylinder blow a valve you'll know what i mean. They are like torpedoes. But i'm not disputing this ain't a positive step, it's innovation like this that is exactly what we need and with our Govt introducing a carbon tax next month, I might just have to drive my ass to work on wind power excuse me

Thanks very much Tomasz you always give good links, but this one is superb. @solo said: This is what the worlds school systems need to show the youth, I agree. We must share it.

@alan fraser said: This kind of Divine Being? No thanks. Nah, I was thinking toga and beard. You know, old school. None of that modern crap! Back to basics! @unknownuser said: @unknownuser said: David H. can be Alan's Mother, if he fancies to. (...) I dont even know what that means. You get to wear a dress, and send God to his room if he's been naughty. Don't tell me you've never fantasised about that.

thats pretty sweet, too bad it doesn't cut CO2 as well

Nice find. Focusing a trackable heliostat panel on a static mounted solar water collecter would really increase its efficiency. Thanks

@unknownuser said: I think that image can help those with 'one direction only' find a way to switch. Why? Take a closer look at each individual frame. I can easily see all those intermediate frames between those when the position of the lady IS certain, as a lady facing me or showing her back ! Our imagination decides if we see the front or the back because the silhouette doesn't define it exactly. Tomasz We, in the western world, learn the process of reading at an early age. That process involves recognizing individual patterns. Furthermore each of us spends a lot of time associating those patterns of letters with words, that pattern recognition process just happens to start at the left and ends at the right. But not in all languages follow reading patterns from left to right. (Unfortunately after many years of education sadly today, many have not mastered that process) Even the individual pictures you placed in your picture are assumed to be read left to right just as we read text, followed by line after line. Many years ago, before computers. The Type that was produced by newspapers required a person that was a Typesetter by profession. These Typesetters had to layout each newspaper page by installing individual blocks of type, each block contained one letter, those letters were mirror images of each letter of type, and had to be placed as a mirror image of the page so that the offset press would then print the page. A Typesetter had to be able to pick individual blocks of letters which were mirrored as well as be able to place those blocks into words that he had to be able to spell and read backwards, as he or she was laying out a page for printing. Hence I don't think this has anything to do with imagination, or right versus left brain thinking.

I prefer Douglas Adams' take on it. From the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: @unknownuser said: “This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.” Cheers.
