Hi All,

I'm trying to find a sensor that I can implant in a device and have it detect how many degerees it's tilted. A mercury switch might work if there's a way of getting a degree angle out of it. Another idea was something gyroscopic...

Before I go off and invent this device, I'd like to know if anybody's ever heard of one. Help?

Heh. Today I had somebody call Lightwave 'bad software'. Their reasoning was pretty silly. Here's a link to the post:

Idiotic ramblings here...

What's really amusing is that my post was along the lines of "I did a cool hack to make animation faster." and this dumbshit tried to turn it into a "LW vs. Maya" debate. I got lightly suckered in, couldn't help it. When you spend so much time learning how to make effective use of a product, you can't help but make your time worthwhile.

Too bad he was an AC. I bet he never saw my response. Coward.

I'm looking forward to the day when I can stream television shows off of a website on demand. I'm happy to sit through commercials if it means that I can watch a series like Deep Space Nine or Farscape in the order they were presented.

I think the plus side to this delivery model is that shows can be more complex, thus retaining a more faithful audience.

I'm not sure how much it'd cost to set something up, but damn it sure makes me want to go out and create my own series.

I wish there was a place where I could challenge moderation sometimes. Part of me wonders what would happen if everybody could moderate. I wonder what kind of chaos that would ensue, heh.

One thing that really frosts me is I have no idea who modded me down. So I can't even approach them privately and say "why did you think I was trying to be a troll?". If that were the case, I might discover that the tone of my messages is being interpreted differently than the way I see it. In that case, I can change my tone and not sound so abrasive.

Nope, I can't do that, and the moderators NEVER reply to my post and tell me why. So what do I do?
