<1> She meant me, her squishable dad.
<0> furrywolf : I'll put one of those on the back of the bike so he can ride a full-size bike.
<2> lol
<0> http://gallery.tehlunix.org/main.php/v/trips/palm2006/DSCF3347.jpg.html Us, on Saturday... Lake Michigan.
<2> you get extra points for bringing "barnacles" along on the sculpture... (i.e. people who don't contribute much)
<0> http://gallery.tehlunix.org/main.php/v/trips/palm2006/DSCF3510.jpg.html Us, on Friday... Lake Erie. 340 miles later.
<2> heh
<3> simmy you did this ? http://gallery.tehlunix.org/main.php/v/TheHouse/KitchenDiningFamily/DSCF3321_001.JPG.html
<2> the scuplture race is only 3 days, but figure on moving 300+ pounds of sculpture around with you, and you have to go on sand (with all that weight adds a lot of friction), up and down sand dunes, over marsh, across the bay, up a river, over several hills... it's a lot of work!
<2> sculpture
<0> Al-Ashtar : yep... did he whole floor by myself.
<3> I ..
<3> I'm ..
<3> WOW
<2> now show him the post-liion-incident floor. :)
<0> I... love that floor! :D
<0> http://gallery.tehlunix.org/main.php/v/batteries/DSCF3294.JPG.html
<0> Same corner.
<0> http://gallery.tehlunix.org/main.php/v/batteries/DSCF3298.JPG.html
<0> You mean those? :D
<2> yes :)
<3> what is that
<2> did you ever fix the floor, or does it still have lots of burn marks?
<0> Al-Ashtar : I had a battery pack charging in my kitchen... it exploded.
<3> lies
<3> this is what happens when you want to be a terrorist
<0> furrywolf : The charred wood on the floor was teh 1/4" plywood I was putting down to go under the hardwood. The burnt wood is all still there... just hidden by the cherry hardwood.
<3> you start expermenting
<0> So to answer your question... I kinda fixed it.
<0> and there's still a big burn on the counter. I just have it covered with an appropriately-placed cutting board. :)
<2> simmy: ahhh... I thought you had burnt your shiny hardwood. :)
<0> oh, no....
<3> simmy the exploding battery was before or after fixing ?
<0> There's a 5' hallway that leads from the kitchen/dining into living room.
<0> That was teh only place with hardwood at the time... one SMALL piece was sitting out in the main part of the room. It got damaged. Darn... I lost a 16" piece of cherry.
<0> ;)
<0> Al-Ashtar : This happened after I'd painted, but before I really got to work on the floor.
<3> so now it's all good
<2> I put down fresh linoleum in my kitchen last year, but it doesn't look nearly as impressive as over-waxed hardwood. :)
<0> I'd started the floor that morning, had to break for lunch/dentist (for evan). When we got home, the thing exploded. I cleaned it up and then fired up the air compressor. Did teh floor over the next 3 days.
<3> thank god no one got hurt
<0> furrywolf : That's not waxed... that's an aluminum-oxide finish.
<0> Came out of the box that way. :)
<0> and it doesn't look over-wax3ed in person. Just the way the pictures came out.
<2> bah, that's not a floor to be proud of then. a real floor you apply about 97 coats of shellac to... :P
<0> furrywolf : I HOPE NOT! That finish has a 50 year warranty!
<2> shellacing large objects is one of the most unplasant tasks imaginable...
<0> been there. done that. That's why I went with prefinished hardwood. :)
<2> 97 is only a conservative estimate. for a good shine, about 197 coats. :)
<0> I'll let someone ELSE deal with refinishing the floor, someday.
<2> heh
<3> we just put marble instead of wood. and in the kitchen it's ceramic
<0> I have stone in one bathroom. Ceramic in another. Looks great. but it's COLD!
<0> I like the wood... It's warm, inviting, and looks fantastic! :D
<2> the last thing I did was a desk... took THREE WEEKS of 3 coats a day to get it smooth and glossy. and I just sprayed it on with a paint gun... a proper french polish is even more painful. :)
<2> coat, coat, sand, coat, coat, sand,...
<0> yeah... I tried finishing the top of my kitchen table... It didn't turn out well... I'll make it look nice another time.
<2> heh
<3> before we used to put 6.5 cm ceramic for the walls and 9.0 cm ceramic for the floor to put up with the extra load. but now it only comes 1 size
<0> furrywolf : That's how I did my computer case when I painted it... damn thing has about 20 coats of paint.
<2> sanding is the key. it doesn't matter how it's applied (brush, rattle can, paint gun, roller...), as long as it's sanded well.
<0> exactly. My computer case was done with kyrlon spraypaint.
<0> It's mirror smooth. :)
<3> nowadays people put granite
<3> it comes in many nice colors
<3> cheaper than marble too
<4> hi
<1> furrywolf: Ok. I'm settled.
<1> The kid needed some help understanding her college algebra.
<4> how can i load different window managers from the console without gdm or something
<2> it took about 20 coats when I repainted some parts of my car... getting a perfectly straight line is not easy, and with a high-gloss finish, even the slightest distortion in the curves sticks out like a sore thumb.
<1> She's used to high school books, which take much smaller steps in teaching.
<0> day1: simple addition.
<0> day2: integrals of trigonometric functions
<0> day3: differential equations
<2> coat, sand, coat, glazing compound, sand, coat...
<0> yeah.. sounds like college.
<2> heh
<1> Nah. Just algebra stuff. It'll take her the rest of the year to finish it.
<3> simmy wth is this
<3> http://gallery.tehlunix.org/main.php/v/dump/DSCF2306.jpg.html
<1> I had to cut her rate in half for now
<4> nobody knows?
<2> the hard way, that I used first, was to convert it to 3d with a plane representing the hypotenuse of the triangle and find the minimum distance of the point to it, but I think you saw that one.
<1> Al-Ashtar: That's a cable splitter
<3> lan cable ?
<2> cable TV
<0> Al-Ashtar : the cable that was coming into myh parents' house.
<0> my bro wanted a pic of it so he could do something...
<2> 75 ohm coax, rg6 on new installs, rg59 on older stuff.
<0> all of that has since been removed. heh!
<2> with, it looks like, a cable company lowp*** filter.
<0> that's just a splitter that was used unnecessarily.
<2> the cylindrical part with nothing attached to it.
<0> there's supposed to be a straight grounding block there.
<1> So.. Triangles
<0> furrywolf : That's simply a locking terminator.
<5> kebsood: just run them (type their names) and they'll work
<2> heh. as in, a filter with the insides removed. :)
<5> kebsood: provided no other WM is running
<2> jblack: bah, ok, I'll repeat it all. :)
<1> so, what's the easy way?
<0> furrywolf : ok...
<1> Just the easy way please. I know the hard way
<0> trigonometric identities and solving for A,B,C or for angles?
<0> I don't know what the question is.
<1> simmy: Long running story. http://jblack.linuxguru.net/~jblack/problem.svg
<2> the original triangle has a right angle and two other angles. the new triangle formed by the new line (CBD) also has a right angle, and shares one angle with the bigger triangle. this means its other angle (at B) is the same as the bigger triangle, too. so, it's the same triangle, just scaled down.
<1> Oh, yeahhhh.
<2> since the hypotenuse was sqrt(3) long on the original triangle, and is now 1 on the small triangle, it was scaled by sqrt(3). since the original side was sqrt(2), the smaller one is sqrt(2)/sqrt(3). :)
<1> they both have 90. They both have the top right one.
<1> So it is just a scaled one. And you can use a simple ratio.
<1> DURH
<2> yep
<2> of course, I only figured this out AFTER doing it in 3d space with vectors, a cross product, two dot products... :)
<1> I did it by using a system of equations.
<2> I knew they had to be some simple trick, but the hard way was fun, at least. :)
<2> I was tempted to do it by finding the equation for the length of the line segment between B and any point on the AC line, then minimize it by differentiating that equation and solving for zero, but decided that was too painful. :)
<6> anyone know how I get my mouse wheel to work in slackware?
<5> looking at the surface area of the triangle also makes it simple
<2> jblack: now, you need to teach her all the ways we've found of doing it. :)
<2> balrog-kun: which way was this?
<7> hmmm should i use FFmpeg or Xvid as my mpeg4 encoder?
<5> furrywolf: is is equal AB*BC/2 and DB*AC/2 at the same time, so DB is AB*BC/AC
<2> yep, that'll work too.
<6> anyone, anyone at all?
<6> google hasnt been much help as of late
<1> furrywolf: your answer was wrong yesterday, though. :)
<1> The math was correct, the answer was wrong. You forgot to finish simplifying
<2> ?
<1> You gave 2/sqrt(3)
<1> Which is bad form. You should have gotten sqrt(3) out of the denominator, resulting in 2sqrt(3)/3
<2> I gave sqrt(2/3) and sqrt(2)/sqrt(3) at various times, I think. :)
<1> Which is anal of me.
<2> I like sqrt(2/3) best. least typing.
<2> I only gave sqrt(2)/sqrt(3) because it made how it was gotten much clearer. :)
<1> I have learned something important over the last year about why teachers insist on simplist form.
<2> it makes the TA's job easier.
<1> Answers not in simplist form are not the ones given in the back of the book, which means actual effort needs to be performed to check the work.
<2> ok... sqrt(6)/3. happy? :)
<8> im wondering; what linux distro is the best updated? both security and user interface?
<6> ok now new question. Can I restart my GPM server wthout restarting x or my computer?
<6> anyone, anyone at all?
<9> express2: don't msg me
<9> just ask here
<6> and my mouse wheel still dont work...
<6> ****in a
<2> why are you using gpm and X at once?
