  Re: What's with Brickbay
 
(...) standardized, (...) Well, yes and no. This is a big topic, FUT to off-topic.geek. A few random points (spoken as a big XML fan who nevertheless has some reality awareness) XML itself is a standard, true, but most implementations that use it (...)

  Re: Here's looking at Euclid
 
(...) I'd say so :) Knowing that they're two verticies side by side helps! By my calculations I get: if length of a single side of the inscribed octagon is 10: Radius of the circle: 13.06562964876 Diameter of the circle: 26.13125929753 Circumference (...)

  Re: Here's looking at Euclid
 
(...) D'oh! I should have specified that the two points are vertices of a single side of the octagon; I'm sure of that much! Am I on the right track here? Assuming that the side of the inscribed octagon is 10 units long, I'm calculating the (...) (24 years ago, 2-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Here's looking at Euclid
 
(...) Nope... again, not unless you know something else (like how many verticies there are in between the two points). You could probably come up with a good guestimate, though, since there would only be 4 possible values for X, all of which you (...) (24 years ago, 2-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Here's looking at Euclid
 
(...) I have the coordinates of the points, so am I correct in thinking I can calculate X? In any case, thanks to everyone for the help; I have what I need to figure it out! Dave! (24 years ago, 2-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
