Watch paint dry Count the popcorn on the ceiling Contemplate the meaning of life Could we detect life on exoplanets by looking near atmosphere for space junk... hmmmm? One persons junk is another persons treasure. LyX/MikTex still spinning. Could coronal mass ejections (CME) (millions of tons of matter) be redirected towards earth or moon using magneto hydrodynamics and a series of satellites to create the largest 3D Universal (as in solar system) Printer in the universe? Possibly even separate the matter stream for various matter types? Say space mining on steroids? Hmm lets submit that question to GSFC public portal.... done. Hey LyX is done installing Finally Check Launch LyX Open my test.lyx Check for document creation using eyes icon to generate pdf. Works Check Document -> Settings Document Class reads: Unavailable: Article (Standard Class) Wait... what ... How can it generate a pdf if the cls file cannot be found by LyX. At least now it is generating the pdf file, but how? What da h#!!? I even switched the document class to another unavailable Article class the one with Extra Font Sizes and received an error about not being able to compile the document t yada... yada ...yada and IT STILL COMPILES AND GENERATES A PDF... What is going on? Do I need to post a YouTube vid on this bizarro experience? I am thoroughly confused.
