i suppose you are just poking fun, because despite the excellent job on the quoting, the content is somewhat flawed

Again, I'm NOT a Young Earth Creationist, but I do agree that the general lack of gradual change in the fossil evidence is a difficulty in evolutionary theory. Not an insurmountable one, but I find Punctuated Equilibrium a bit weak. evolution: fossil evidence (albeit far from complete on the time s...

Also I'm a little skeptical about their 3D reconstruction. Knowing a little bit about 3D, I know you can't just derive something 3D from something that seems, essentially, to be 2D. There just isn't enough information, which means there is probably some guessing going on. do a few CTs, Xrays and wh...

by my experience of supporting people with D3 for nearly 10 years, yes.

Floyd

change the mouse sensitivity ingame: hit f2, configure controller, adjust settings OR from main menu options controller setup etc.
custom resolution: add this to the command line: -width 1440 -height 900 -aspect 1.6

see the readme.txt from descent 3 for more settings.

if the fps still drop to no good with the \"-nosound\" command line option, seperate vga and sound card ressources (IRQ!) or get a better sound card (which is still no guarantee for more speed). hercules cards performed very well last time i checked.

you think turning an asteroid into a cluster bomb makes it better?

i work with lasers. from experience, random people who \"just try things out by ripping a dvd burner apart\" don't know of the dangers. sorry for warning you then. though i wonder what there is to accomplish, it's not like you'd conduct scientific research, heh. but that's another story. i...

i advise to NOT do such experimenting. once your eyesight is lost, it cannot be restored. it's not just direct exposure, but also reflections that can damage your retina. in the worst case, you hit your visual nerve and you're blind.

edit: or other people.

as luck would have it, look what i've found: http://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=336

i'll give it a try some time. let's just hope that it supports xp.

i have the space navigator. Grendel is right, the driver doesn't let you freely configure what you want (at least the version from 2006 i got). the control is some kind of CAD standard interface. i haven't tried to use it for descent yet, though. but for the versatile enthusiast, this might come in ...

Floyd

you could try looking for 3D CAD/presentation controllers. prepare for prices higher than your average game controller.

if you just want to talk, you may be able to only know the most necessary words and describe everything else with these. but that won't help you if you want to read a text or listen to someone, unless it's always kept simple at your level. while this may work for a person you talk to, i doubt it wou...

Energy is never lost - it can be readily converted (or transferred) from one form into another. The problem with energy transfer though is entropy. Entropy is the process where part of the energy transfer is lost into an energy form that cannot be utilised. Petrol engines turn chemical energy into ...

I recommend you take a thermodynamics basic course or read a book about it. That's how science explains it, and it works.

you might start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodyna ... modynamics
especially this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy

if you plan an update, do it without target indicators (or new features at all for that matter) for D1 & D2. otherwise, nice work.

that raises the question: why a new bike if the old one was too good to sell? then it must be also too good not to use. sorry, you wasted money on your new bike. sell the new bike, keep the old one.
did i get that right, you don't even know what kind of new bike you have?

Floyd

sorry, never heard of.

if you use Logitech MouseWare (works with non-Logitech mouses too) or anything else that can emulate a keyboard key, assign any unused key to a mousebutton and configure that key in D3 keyboard setup.
problem solved
