Thanks Cuomo, you just made me have to cough up double the price for a shitty hotel.
I still remember trying to find all the VRML sites I could find, in all of it's few polygon glory.
It also doesn't make sense to geosync the telescope behind the "dark side" of the earth for the same reason. Long exposures wouldn't be easy since the earth does move around the sun, so the sky moves with it. Eventually you will have to face the sun to get the same shot of the sky.
So, the only way would to be to have the orbit around the sun so the telescope can always face away from the sun. that way you can at least create the long exposures they need.
In the conversation, pydanny did mention that nearly everything in Two Scoops 1.5 should apply to 1.6, and it does (as I went through the book with a fresh 1.6 install). So for those of you contemplating the books for current use, I'd say, go ahead!
You can definitely count me out for this new version of Two Scoops, I have no need for a print copy of any programming book. I just recycled some old PHP and Javascript books I had laying around for years unused. It seems useless to me that in 2014 we'd forgo printing this kind of book when the coding and reading/learning are happening on the same screen.
So thanks pydanny for Two Scoops, but I've unsubscribed from your mailing lists and will be opting out of this release.
Here you guys go!
The map not rotating is great!
I think the biggest problem with Amazon is it's hands-off approach to selling products. The reason why there hasn't been any innovation in this sector is because of the interconnected relationships between managers of firms needing products and the salesmen that sell the product. More often than not, the firms have no idea what they actually need, and the sales people have the knowledge to deliver exactly the part they require.
I think that unless Amazon has a very large, and more importantly knowledgeable staff, what you will find here is a lost leader. The only thing that I see amazon bringing to the table is their warehousing.
The more I use it the more I like it. Sometimes I have files that still open in N++ and I quickly switch out of it into sublime. Oh, did I mention at the command line (in OSX) you can open files using the subl command (Very awesome).
