(...) And if you stop and think about it for a second or two, you'll realize your special case really does deserve special consideration. The average is no wind at all, so the direction would be undefined. (21 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Don't you get the same problem at 180, now? 170 + 190 = 170 +(-170) = 0 I think there are several readings that can give you more than one result. For example, if you take two readings of 90 and 270, what should the answer be? 0? 180? never (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Joe, The line certainly does have some cool stuff in it. I have two of each set just for me. I will add parts from the other sets as those sets go on clearance. Parting out full retail sets just is not feasible. I suspect it will be real soon (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, FTX)

(...) Thanks, Tim — I confess that I thought BrickWiki was just about the history of LEGO. I didn't know it was a repository for building techniques as well. I agree, that could be quite useful. In some ways, not quite as nice as a glossy book on my (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

(...) If I remember right, the way we resolved this for real-world surveying problems and the like was to convert the degrees 180 < x < 360 into negative values relative to 0/north. 350 is -10, 270 is -90, etc. If x1 > 180 then x2 = 360 - x1 This (...)

I know Jake recently got an excellent book on LEGO trains published. I'd love to see something similar, but all about building minifig-scale LEGO towns. I imagine that major sections of the book might include: vehicles buildings landscaping & (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-05, to lugnet.publish, FTX)
