  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) Not quite. There's a good comparison here (URL) talking about speed radar versus laser. Basically the laser is more accurate, but requires more accurate aiming by the operator. ROSCO (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) Would there be any difference in the accuracy of laser vs. radar? I'm not enough of an EE geek to know, but thought "no" because they're just different wavelengths of the same thing, right? Or does the wavelength difference (it IS many orders (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Hip Deep in Evil
 
(...) <rant> Oh, I'm sure it is...I would REALLY like to...but for some reason, even with the newest RealPlayer freshly installed on the system, no go. Of course, I've NEVER, not even ONCE, EVER gotten Real media to work on any computer system. I (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) How sweet. ;.) Love, unfortunately, has eluded me for every moment of my life. :.( Jesse Long (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I think they met once or something... (URL) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I would say yeah, he has, after looking at this (URL) =) ~Nathan (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Have you met Shiri before in your life? Jesse Long (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Gallery speed
 
I've also noticed on occasion when I click the "random folder" (great feature!!) a folder will display with the dreaded red "x" (no image available), and I can't click on it. Maybe this is related? ROSCO (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Gallery speed
 
Both myself and the original poster were mystified as to why this link didn't work for me - have you any idea as to why not? (URL) ... Geoffrey Hyde "Kevin Loch" <kloch@opnsys.com> wrote in message news:GG0H6J.ALE@lugnet.com... (...) LIMIT 24 (...) (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
Hi, Long time no see, John! Have you just been lurking about? (I'm finally back from Europe myself.) Coming to Brickfest? How's JHU? (...) Weren't there other methods used recently as well? I'm not sure that any would be as accurate as a laser, (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Evolution of Earth and moon (was: Couldn't resist)
 
(...) Actually, you have this backwards. The friction of Earth's oceans against its solid parts is slowing the Earth's rotation down. This translates into a loss of angular momentum for the Earth. But angular momentum must be conserved. The angular (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) Whoa, that's something I never thought of before! It kind of raises an interesting idea, too. If this is always a trend for the satellite (i.e., "moon") of any planet with large amounts of liquid on the surface, then maybe over time there is a (...)

  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I think that unless we can find a specific point at which Shiri is not a man, then we cannot demonstrate conclusively that she is a woman. Either Shiri occupies a spectrum of man-ness and woman-ness with no distinction, or a distinction (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I assure you, my boy, Shiri *is* a woman. I should know. ;-) <snipped the forecast> (...) Math is confoozing. In my mind. :-) -Chris (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) The reason I asked was because the way that you read can influence how you reply. With the web interface, following a thread is easy. With mail it's still easy, but not quite so easy. With a newsreader, I unfortunately don't have any (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I like the LEGO Castle set but I do not have the time (today) to speak with her. Maybe I can later? Please tell Shiri I said hello, is that acceptable, Larry? Thank you, Larry. Jesse Long (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I read them in an electronic mail account but not necessarily the messages. I simply type on Lugnet, then they send me a copy of the letter and I post the letter, then I take the Yahoo copy of the letter and I delete that copy of the letter (...)

  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I think it is safe to say that Shiri (she's of the female persuasion) does not hate you. I doubt that she hates anybody, actually. Since this seems to be the "isn't Shiri great" subsection of the thread, let me add my kudos, she does a lot of (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) Shiri is a woman who hangs out in the Castle sub-theme more than Space. You can check over there to see what she's made. I haven't made a castle in years.... (...) Sounds like severe weather indeed. However, you need to pay closer attention to (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Couldn't resist
 
(...) I am simply wondering why Shiri hates me. I was joking in part of the letter, which also means I also probably watch too much wrestling. I also have never seen any of the work that Shiri has made and simply wanted to know if Shiri (not sure (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
