With a .205-degree Earth longitude adjustment, we have lunar accuracy check
rating somewhere around perfect for:

solar eclip
2454679.92648
Aug 1 2008 10:14:07
at
3428 miles above equator

327.45 final longitude, where 327.65 = approx 20 minutes

Vernal alignment within .15 degrees which is likely a perigee/precession issue

As accurate as the information available

Last Wiki DM check is slower; 0.9856091

If your image is really what you say, I'd admit to be a gross assumption
considering source, it suggests a couple of things:

someone besides me can use megapov
someone besides me can make spirals

original release date of this Gnome would be also suggestive of,
if I helped or not in its creation


first appearance in the archive date 4/16/08 before colorization
(1st archive dated 3/20/08)

#macro _spiral()
//#local q = <-1,1,0>;
#local q2 = <1,1,0>;
//#local q3 = <-1,-1,0>;
#local q4 = <1,-1,0>;
   #local rate = 0.82; // decent rate
   #local n = 150;
   #local r = (PI2*1.25)/(-n);
   #local i = 0;
   //#local pnt = midpoint(p,p3)*1.8+<.2,-.4,0>;  // start distance    str
   #local pnt = midpoint(q2,q4);
   // -<.05,0,0>;
   #local len = vlength(pnt);
   #local lp = pnt;
   ball(lp,.033)
   #while (i<n)
      #local p = rotation(r*i,z,vnormalize(pnt)*(len-(len*rate/n)*i));
      #if (vlength(p-lp) > (i/500.0)+.033)
        ball(p,(i/500.0)+.035)
        #local lp = p;
      #end
      #declare i = i+1;

   #end
#end

triangulation.inc also mine with copies in 3 other languages which include
rotation() and midpoint()

after colorize!

#macro _spiral()
  //#local q = <-1,1,0>;
  #local q2 = <1,1,0>;
  //#local q3 = <-1,-1,0>;
  #local q4 = <1,-1,0>;
   #local rate = 0.82; // decent rate
   #local n = 150;
   #local r = (PI2*1.25)/(-n);
   #local i = 0;
   #local pnt = midpoint(q2,q4);
   #local len = vlength(pnt);
   #local lp = pnt;
   #local ty = array[5]{ "O","B","A","F","G" } //,"K","M","C"
   #local c = starcolor(ty[int(rand(S3)*4)])*.5;
   ball(lp,.033,c)
   #while (i<n)
      #local p = rotation(r*i,z,vnormalize(pnt)*(len-(len*rate/n)*i));
      #if (vlength(p-lp) > (i/500.0)+.033)
        ball(p,(i/500.0)+.035,c)
        #local lp = p;
      #end
      #declare i = i+1;

   #end
#end

too dense to see how bad your assumptions are, indicative of your complete
neglect for positive intent

people like you kill the world with black-hole hearts and brains

And so what if someone made money off my work.

Just shows I have value and worth to others around me unlike too many of YOU,
you trolls that only attempt a foul, a derail, not even real criticism but
slamming because you get some sick ego stroke for it.


It *was* my intent to make it a better world for everyone, that by example they
would learn, no matter how dense they might be, that there is more value in
working together than in any torture technique ever devised by these sick and
dark, foolish and ignorant MORONS that deserve only our backs, those with
spiritual capacity, turned to them as we conjure magical and wonderful events
to delight and amaze and generate laughter and contentment spiced with peace
and freedom.

America land of the free and home of the brave, just not brave enough to write
their reps and senators and not responsible enough to have freedom for the last
100 years or so. So huge a country that all little countries fall right in line
with America's corrupt profiteering laws, letting drug companies run
everything, making the same insane laws.

My world is as sick as it round, and it is people like YOU who make it that way.

And THAT my dear sick puppies is where you can get off.

Ah yes. Read your own words, then think again about lack of positive intent,
black-hole hearts and, the location thereof.

Amen.

But, clipka, you should realise that when AQ asks for opinions, anything 
that isn't "Oh my God, that's the most awesome work I've ever seen!!! I 
think I've died and gone to heaven!!!!  Thank you for sharing your utter 
brilliance and genius with us!!!!" is going to result in vitriolic 
attacks from him.

Yes you get what you put out. And you got it returned to you as it should be for
all foolish jerks.

I nailed it describing your true purpose here in my thread, same as John Dense
Rim(anagram for Jim Henderson). Working together for POV purposes was never
your intent. But working with ilk like your buddy Dense Rim, now that's your
style.

Allow me to put it into perspective for you. Telling you what is beyond your
ability can open the door for you.

The prerequisite to working together is that you must give up your lame-ass, BS
superiority trip, something clearly beyond you. So you suck at that and have
reason give it up. If you're so superior why can't you do that? Because you
aren't superior. Most superior-tripped robots heads should explode at this. If
only it were that easy.

Ah, okay... I'll remember for the next time.

Could this be a self-sustaining issue? I mean, if all people normally dare to
tell him is what a brilliant genius he is...?!

Oh well, never mind.

Not surprising that you have nothing more important to do than trying to be an
ass. Get a life foo
