Archaeopteryx are extinct. YUP! BUT- the cool news is, as I read on MSNBC, the T-Rex Tissues they recovered (a miracle itself) allowed the Paleontologists to discover that Dinosaurs ARE related to birds!! SO COOOOOOLL!!! *yea, I'm a closet Paleontologist worshipping the ground Bob Bakker walks on! _____________________

My first programming class in college was FORTRAN and we used punch cards. Plus when you enrolled in classes each year you would go to the line that had that class and they would give you a punch card, then you would take them to someone that would run them through the card reader and give you a printout of what classes you were enrolled in. If a card had a dogear... well you were pretty much screwed that semester unless you could talk the prof. into allowing you in to the class. |

lol that would be more Damien's style, just because I am dead does not make me an evil person - does it? Oh btw I hope that pie has blood in it someplace. being dead does not in and of itself make you evil...it's that eating people part that others tend to frown upon for some reason. btw, I like the glass coffin, very shiney.  _____________________

I was rather pelased with it too.Mmmm even though I eat people, I never kill so perhaps eat is in the loosest sense. Its never a good thing to destroy a food source - so again it probably comes down to other deeds. Yes though our kind has been frowned up for centuries whilst the Neko population continues with its extermination of the rodent population unabated. Of course that does not matter - they are cute!!! _____________________

I'll take sexy over cute any day. Plus that no life-expectancy thing kinda trumps over coughing up hairballs in my book. _____________________

Yeah that eating people comment was kind of a turn off in the literal sense.
Well guys, have a great evening. See you tomorrow. |

being dead does not in and of itself make you evil... I think all of you...keepers of the night...are quite yummy. For those in need, there are plenty of us warm-blooded types here in the forum who are willing to keep you...satiated...Anyway...good morning everyone! Hope everyone got at least a *few* hours of sleep. However, since it is a rainy, chllly day, all I want to do is hop back in bed, pull up the covers and snuggle in for the day...  |

camera controls- bouncy feel in the RC
05-20-2008 05:03
...I just saw this on another thread about camera controls, in case you are not surfing the other threads...
I just checked this with my viewer and here's what I can see happening. Check to see that your camera smoothing under the input and camera tab is set at 0 - Mine was and I bumped it up to 2 just to see what the effect was...I got bouncy mouse. Turned it back to 0 and now it's all right again. Mine had been set to 1.0; when I moved it to 0.0, smooth motion. |

I did the required upgrade last night and everything seems brighter and almost washed out. I haven't tried anything fancy with camera controls.
