Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - Mark Skarr - 12-24-2013 That's the advantage of Reality/Lux. It does its own lighting. On the other hand, the fact that the lighting is only two mat zones is fairly annoying. (Lights in Lux are done by mat zones.) So, it's got the head lights as one zone, and the strips as another . . .. Though the texturing seems a bit off as well. Guess that's what I get for trying to give it one when it didn't come with any. - Ebony - 12-24-2013 Huh. I got the impression, from previous discussions, that it looked like Jay Leno's turbine bike.

Guess that's what I get for trying to give it one when it didn't come with any.Even so, that's very nice. Quote:Huh. I got the impression, from previous discussions, that it looked like Jay Leno's turbine bike.Well, we have described Leno's bike as a "real-world" version of Doug's, but mainly for the power system. The turbine on Doug's is more compact, though. And there have been multiple descriptions of Doug's bike as looking like a "missile on wheels". Remember, it's an earlier generation of the development line that led to the "modern" motorcycles of Bubblegum Crisis -- it's long, low, sleek and very streamlined. It's an Olympic swimmer to Leno's weightlifter. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Norgarth - 12-30-2013 ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin - Norgarth - 12-30-2013 ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin - robkelk - 12-31-2013 Timote Wrote:"Wabbits, Mister Wiko!

Incidentally, re: that "Canada" chart, is there any explanation of the color-coding, assuming it is coding and not just for contrast? And what about the regional boundaries shown? ----- Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING. - Ankhani - 02-01-2014 There's no description of the image beyond the caption, so all I can do is guess. I don't think there's any significance to the colors beyond four-color theorem: you can color any map using only four colors and have no two adjacent regions the same color. The regional boundaries outline a portion of land wherein the approximate population is equal to the population of Canada. This aptly demonstrates the population density of some portions of the US;e.g. there are two Canadas in new England, one in the San Francisco bay area, but it takes all the plains and Rockies to make a Canada. --- The Master said: "It is all in vain!
