A revision of timekeepingHi there, Since I know how to read the time, I've been wondering why we divide the day into 24 hours of 60 minutes of 60 seconds (although americans and british may find this unusually convenient). Well, this is because our timekeeping system is several thousand years old and was inherited by the babylonians, who used a base 60 (sexagesimal) number system, although they didn't really use radix points or zeroes yet. Although the number 60 is highly divisible, in our decimal-thinking world it's a pain in the ass and having 24 instead of 60 hours makes this system even in base 60 inconvenient for...

What is Time?I'm reading an old science fiction book entitled "The girl in the golden Atom", and the author has a character define time as "what keeps everything from happening all at once". So what is time anyway? Please don't use time to define itself (e.g., "past", "present", "future", "sequence", "events", "duration", "velocity", and other concepts which themselves can only be defined in terms of time). _________________ ichbinsisyphos wrote: You know, personally I've never been the greatest fan of Negroes

X3(TC) Capped Shrike during Return Ship Mission - Advice pleaseHello. I've been training Marines for the past few weeks although I don't have any experience of using them. Most are up to 5 stars in everything but fighting. I've read on here somewhere that I can improve their fighting skills by "practicing" on this type of mission. Unfortunately I can't remember what to do after the ship has been capped. Anyway, I just took a Return Ship Mission only to find a Shrike sitting there with no shields and 56% hull. This Shrike is several sectors away from "home" and has absolutely NOTHING in the way of weaps or software - so probably no chance at all of either...

Recommend me a good Windows support site, pleaseTrying to get Mrs greyspoke's Acer Aspire 5735Z (with wonderful Windows Vista) to behave itself is doing my head in, and I just don't understand Windows at all. Where in the wonderful world wide web of wisdom might I find wit and expertise for Windows problems similar to what there is here for Gentoo and Linux. I'll take "why not install Linux on it" as read if that's OK. ETA don't know how this ended up here not OTW, many apologies for that.

Is there a zip-library that works on Windows and Linux... that has a static library for Windows and is easy to understand and/or has good documentation ("for dummies" step by step tutorials preferred ) Minizip gives me a headache. "Read the header file for documentation" and then you open the file and it's filled with cryptic C stuff I have never seen in my life ... Did I say "headache"? Sorry, I meant to say I want to puke and bash my monitor in. I am to dumb to compile libzip on Windows. So I am out of alternatives for now ... _________________ Please refer to "Austria" as "Republik Österreich" or "Republik Oesterreich" to avoid...

Gnome helpI didnt want to ask before I spent some time looking things up but its been 2 days of constant trying different things and I cannot seem to get a grasp on whats going on. I installed gnome by using the documents listed on the gentoo home page. I got gnome to install, it goes to the log on screen and I can log in. When I log in it only shows a white terminal window. I did some reading around and found out I can type gnome-panel and the panel pops up. I can type nautilus and ill get a different desktop back ground and I am able to use the right click function but the panel then goes away. I...

Rand Paul begins campaign to end TSARand Paul Launches Campaign to End the TSA Quote: New legislation would abolish government involvement in airport security Senator Rand Paul has issued a press release in which he vows to lead the charge to “end the TSA” and put a stop to the needless and humiliating groping of toddlers and grandmothers. Earlier this year, Paul was detained by the TSA after refusing to submit to an invasive pat down after already having passed through a body scanner. The incident prompted national headlines and caused the Senator to miss his flight. “It’s time to END the TSA and get the government’s hands back...

Thunderbird ver 11I just installed version 12.0.1 of Thunderbird and guess what? Over 500 emails that I read and deleted months ago automatically got dumped from my ISP onto my computer. I then had to spend over 2 hours looking at every one of these emails to decide whether I keep it or delete it once again. Most of them I deleted and I hope they stay deleted. But, hey, with computers you never know. If this is Mozilla's idea of progress, I think I'll go back to version 2. If anyone chooses to reply to this post, please use my alternate email: ** e-mail address removed by moderator **
