<0> lemme do the same to the gold
<1> LordCrc: you still working on that 3D hobby project?
<0> http://lordcrc.no-ip.com/public/buddhagold2.jpg
<0> avgjoe-: well, its in my heart forever ;) not much time lately though
<0> Mithandir: not sure about the quality they used when measuring it though, so
<1> LordCrc: it only gets better
<1> and by better, I mean worse
<0> avgjoe-: hahaha :)
<0> avgjoe-: well i sorta hope to take some "advanced image sythesis (sp?)" type cl*** at univ
<2> ki9a - it'd be a 10 hour drive to NC. Probably too long.
<0> Mithandir: also, it might be because it only uses RGB. i plan to extend it to handle multiple wavelengths (8 or 10 bands i guess)
<3> Mjolnir: oh yeah :(
<2> Then again, we could ship you some spare rocket motors....
<2> I don't think the state troopers would be able to catch you at 800 hm/hr
<0> http://lordcrc.no-ip.com/public/copperandplatinum.jpg
<3> heh
<4> now make one out of segmented emerald
<0> reminds me of the discussion about the stealth bomber having the radar signature so small it was comparable of that of a duck
<2> Thought it was that of a sparrow hiding from a hawk.
<2> :)
<0> reply: "if i saw a duck doing 900km/h, id shoot it down just to be sure"
<0> Mithandir: ah... "polycrystalline Au"
<0> Mithandir: emerald is a dielectric no?
<2> LordCrc If I were doing it, I'd put a bit more polish on the balls. There's a certain roughness to them (that I ***ume is deliberate)
<0> Mjolnir: yes, i controll the roughness through a roughness parameter :)
<0> Mjolnir: though some of the roughness is due to the rendering technique
<0> which is high in noise
<0> the copper buddha rendering took 13 hours on my p3 733
<0> while the gold one took 3
<0> it requires exponentially more time to double the quality
<5> yikes
<2> What rendering proggy are you using?
<4> his own
<0> Mithandir: not for this one actually, i havent implemented proper fresnel for conductors yet
<4> ah
<0> i used the one that came with the book "physically based rendering" (www.pbrt.org)
<0> Mithandir: since this one was a simple compile away.... :D
<0> its actually one of the more painless "manual" compiles ive done for linux
<3> what is ?
<0> ki9a: pbrt, the rendering proggy
<3> ah
<3> ./configure; make; make instlal
<3> works all time.
<0> ki9a: no configure here though, just "make"
<0> :D
<3> :)
<0> ki9a: mind you, i guess it might be my "weird" sampling of applications though :)
<3> I must admit I did try to compile cyrus sasl once
<3> :)
<3> that was hel
<3> hell
<6> hello hello
<3> and didn't work in the end
<3> :)
<0> ki9a: heh yeah thats my usual experience
<6> does anyone know of a good virtual server hosting service
<0> of course it doesnt help that im not very good with linux (not much experience)
<0> hmm
<3> LordCrc: Heh everybody's gotta start somewhere :)
<3> In general it's easy
<7> Western Digital will provide free backup software to around 1 million customers as part of a cl*** action settlement relating to how the company marketed the size of its hard drives. Western Digital was sued last year for advertising a drive as 80GB when it only physically stored 74.4GB.
<7> again...too many lawyers.
<0> MrBtrieve: counting ****s :D
<3> about time they sued someone for that
<3> Who's next? :)
<7> pfft
<7> frivilous
<0> mrHellFir: as for web or ?
<7> it always says 'actual space' on teh boxes
<0> MrBtrieve: doesnt it say "80 billion bits" or something like that?
<3> no
<3> it says 80GB
<0> hmm
<3> but it's in fact 80.000.000.000 bytes
<7> no, it says 'actual available space = <whatever>
<4> yes
<3> something completely different
<0> im fairly sure i saw one which numbered the bits
<0> or bytes
<4> which IS in fact what according to the metric system a GB is
<7> stupid lawsuit
<0> Mithandir: but my bytes are 11 bits wide ;)
<3> Mithandir: but not according to accepted computer standards :)
<4> ki9a: shrug
<3> they lost
<4> it's not just WD who does it that way
<3> or settled
<4> all of them except IBM do it
<3> Mithandir: in a few months they all do it properly
<7> i do'nt see the point
<7> big ****in deal
<0> MrBtrieve: i imagine MS gets sued next for ****ing up space for the file system
<5> yeh
<5> cluster size
<5> :)
<4> might as well sue digital camera makers then, 8 MP cameras actually only have 2.66 million pixels
<5> and fragmentation
<7> we need to kill of 90% of the lawyers and life will be better
<3> stop lawyers, stop patents
<3> and the world will be a better place
<5> stop money
<5> install me as emperor
<5> :)
<3> gibibytes
<3> :)
<4> yah
<4> GiB's
<8> i hate that system
<8> it feels weird using it
<8> like changing to metric
<8> :)
<3> it's the only system that's actually used on computers...
<3> GiB = 2^nth
<3> 14 IIRC
<9> sweet.. just got a taker for my electric guitar..
<3> I know they are still using sticks, stones and elbows in the Uk
<9> been trying to sell that piece of crap for months..
<3> did you put that in the advertisement?
<9> :D
<8> ki9a: we are 10 times what your little nation is ;)
<3> 10 times what?
<3> Land?
<3> it can't be IQ
<8> heh
<8> no that's true
<8> Chav nation keeps us down
<4> 10 times more arrogant
<8> mith: definately :)
<8> mith: but then you live in belgium which is half french ;)
<3> and always 10 times more trouble
<3> especially when they're off the island.
<4> Blade: You know, england was ruled by the french longer than belgium ever was :)
<3> hah
<8> no we weren't
<8> Normandy != France
<8> ;)
<4> look up norman kings :)
<8> its french now
<8> but back then it wasn't
<8> so your argument is moot
<8> :P
<4> they spoke french :)
<8> they spoke latin
<8> your point?
<8> :)
<4> you must hav elived in a different history than the rest of the world :P
<3> heh
<4> it's like american "early history" cl***es starting in 1789 :P
<8> mith: i know my history, Normandy was completely seperate to France, might have been a v***al not sure or was that Brittany
<3> Blade^: "Rose of England" as a Queen, which one would that be?
