1/31: Space junk map

These maps of the locations of various items in space are not to scale.



But it's interesting to know that someone is keeping track of at least some of the stuff we've left out there.



Because they do make for a serious collision problem for spacecraft that expect to find nothing but vacuum in their way.

And all that stuff is in slightly different orbits. Here's a screenshot from th etool I use to track satellites I can talk to from my ham radio station:

Please learn to resize images maggie! You're a repeat offender!
Yea i saw those on ZZZ, i'm supprisedthere hasne't been more serious accidents/commercial sats knocked out.

Looks too small at work (probably all the work-related crap clogging up the screen ), but should look really good on my new 1280 x 1024 APPLE 17" STUDIO DISPLAY!

Wide enough to completely stuff the width of the thread, its happened a few times, i'm quite sure you're capable of doing it, you're just too frigging lazy. It stuffs the width here at 1024, which is pretty damn stupid. I know its an images forum, and shock horror, you're the only person i've noticed who posts pics without bothering to resize them, being the time consuming operationit is and all.

1024x768, as i said. GF2GTS64Mb on a Sony E220....try reading.
The point is that i *shouldn't* have to scroll horizonatally, its bloody annoying. Ever been to fark? They delete images that screw the layout of the forums, there is a good reason for that.

Yes, it is very annoying to have to scroll horizontally.

Hm. *Grin* I'm running at 800x600 resolution. When I installed Win2k, it gave me a default resolution of 800x600, and when I changed it back to my normal 1024x768 the tiny little text hurt my eyes. So I left it at 800x600 =]

Torrere? You on a 15in or something?
Graphics stuff, switch from 1024x768@100hz to 1600*1200@72 gaaaak! Painful.

edit- 1600*1200 instad of the other way round.

I run an ICQ bar down the side of the screen.
Apart from that, i'm nto going to respond to uncalled for, petty insults.

In other news, i'm outa here anyway, schoolwork this year is crazy, and i don't have time to burn on cellar anymore, ill stop by every now and then, a bit like syc, but I won't be regualry posting.

Word, word. What system you running, if you don't mind my asking?

You *will* like that new display - I play with them over at the Apple store, and they're definitely quite nice. Unfortunately, my desire for something larger (both resolution-wise and viewable-space-wise) keeps me from any of Apple's LCD's, but some day, when they put out a 19" (or 20" or 22") that's capable of doing 1600x1200 and only costs $500 or $600, I'll be all over it.

I agree with you, and I don't generally get bent out of shape about page lengthening posts and the like. But the reason people do is simple - it's one guy pissing in their collective lemonade. He's just doing it to be an asshole. Not saying this was the case with Maggie - I had no problem with her image (1280x1024 @ work and 1600x1200 @ home so I can see most anything), but I can understand how people would get irritated with some idiot that intentionally makes this just a little more miserable for the regular users.
