I'm willing to be longhorn will never exist.. at least not in the way M$ wants it to. Microsoft is trying to make a provably secure OS... by provably secure, that means basically proving that the kernel is secure, then only allowing applications that are verified as secure to run. For starters... M...

I would have to agree with Lax on this one. Linux is basically good as a server, or maybe as an office desktop. IMO Windows 9x was rather shit, because of all the crap and the memory leaks and bullshit, but XP is significantly improved over 9x, and I am willing to bet Longhorn will be damn nice too....

Does anyone know MaxScript? I think it would be possible to dump the z locs into text file in a format we could use to out put an image elevation map. i.e. MaxScript does this: Gets the X and Y and then gets the Z for each individual X and Y. X Y Z 1 2 3 2 3 4 (So at loc 2, 3 (XY) the elevation is 4...

Nah I think we could just use the maps from say, ShowEQ or something. That would make the project a lot easier. I think the elevation map would be a good idea, and it would eliminate the need to plot all the trees (they would just show up as really high elevations). We could just make a utility to c...

Sounds like a definitely cool plan. I would like to help some of the minor programming on this. Very cool idea. Just thought of a couple of things. I think we should put in a z loc scale to measure our z loc so that we don't get messed up in buildings in such. Something like this: | | 10 | | | | | |...
