Re: ANN and OT: Calling All SETI Enthusiasts
Tom, Please forgive me (especially Tim) for apparently sounding argumentative. Not my intent at all. I was merely trying to say that given the vastness of our universe and the number of stars contained in it, many argue that it is logical to assume a multitude of intelligent species populating our entire galaxy. And given the vast time scale involved, it is also logical to assume these alien civilizations will not have evolved simultaneously (criterion #1) The second criterion is that the radio active stages of technology of these civilizations will be short relative to these same vast time scales. I'm sure that I am not the first to define this criterion, but I have not seen it discussed before. The validity of this is discussed very briefly in the simulation notes. Further to this point, I would argue that ALL technologies have limited durations, and the simulation allows you to adjust it over a very long range (albeit short relative to the vast time scales of our galaxy) to your heart's content. I would be happy to discuss this at length, but it might be best to do so off-list?? My simulation starts with these assumptions and explores the outcome. These criteria are simply derived from the statistics of the numbers involved. There are many more qualified than I to explain the statistics involved, and a few references are included in the notes of the simulation. For those interested I would would start with the SETI project itself at. http://www.seti.org/ And, the Drake equation says it all . . . statically: http://www.activemind.com/Mysterious/Topics/seti/drake_equation.html Thanks and cheers, Roger Guay On Mar 25, 2012, at 7:56 AM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: Message: 6 Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:54:05 -0400 From: Thomas McGrath III mcgra...@mac.com To: How to use LiveCode use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Subject: Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 102, Issue 49 Message-ID: 02634a04-296a-4fbe-a626-3e7587ff9...@mac.com Content-Type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII I didn't take either comment as overly argumentative but more like a challenge (which we tend to do on this list from time to time).

Re: ANN and OT: Calling All SETI Enthusiasts
No flames, Bob. I wouldn't argue with any one of your points except to say that we do in fact have a SETI project looking for other civilizations, and it makes extremely numerous assumptions, as you say. But, the bottom line is that it's a numbers game based on the vast numbers of stars and scale of our galaxy. Better minds than mine have felt it worthwhile to look/listen for alien technologies that may be a very small subset of the spectrum you speak of. If we come to believe that this is a fool's errand which I gather is your position, then any technologies like ours will soon come to the same conclusion, thereby shortening the radio active phase of their technologies, and thus dramatically decreasing chance encounters of civilization as my simulation dramatizes! Thanks for your help!

Why for instance, should we suppose that any alien life form is similar to us? What if an intelligent life form was aquatic, and lived on a planet where the atmosphere was deadly to them? What possible motive could they have to develop radio technology in the first place, and who can assume that our radio technology would even work in their atmosphere? What if the magnetic flux field of their planet was so strong, or the chemical makeup so different that radio transmissions of our kind would never even penetrate it, never mind be something they would deploy? What if their great superior reasoning led them to conclude that the time, efforts and resources to even attempt to travel at or near light speeds, or else attempt to bend space-time was so vast, and the probability of failure to find a race like enough to themselves so great, and the time dilation that would occur so devastating to any hope of communicating or traveling back to where they came from, that it became a common child's joke amongst the great races of the universe without them even knowing it between them? So many what if's, so little time-space. Our minds are so small that they cannot comprehend how many factors go into making our planet exactly the planet it is. There are so many balances, both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial, which if unbalanced by so much as 5% or less would render human life on this planet absolutely impossible. And we hope to find a planet so like ours, and then hope that life on that planet has evolved (the greatest begging of a question that ever there was) so like us as to allow any communication at all? This discussion can happen at all because of the human mind's inability to focus on and balance very many things at one time and measure a thesis against all other things that could weigh upon it. We simply do not possess the wisdom and mental faculty to treat such a subject. No, my friends, I think all conversation along these lines is so incredibly presumptuous, it is staggering when you really begin to think of everything we take as a given or gloss over when discussing such things. Sorry all you Star Trek fans, and anyone else I have likely offended. I love science fiction as much as the next person, but I think any race of beings wise enough to comprehend the real logistics of space travel or communication across such great distances would conclude right away that it was a total waste of their limited resources, better spent on improving their own state of affairs.

Re: [ANN] Revision to TimeMachine
Thanks for your interest, Alejandro. Unfortunately, I no longer have easy access to a Windows machine, and so have not tested TimeMachine for that OS. But, I agree with Bob Sneidar in a subsequent post to Try changing it to is or is not. I always use words instead of operators because it makes the code easy to read, and I don't run into these kinds of problems. I seem to recall that was my experience as well when I used to test for Windows. Thanks for refreshing my memory, Bob. I'll try to remember this in the future. Anybody know where I put my car keys??

Have you test it in Windows? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3834621/TimeMachine_screenshot.PNG When I open the stack on Windows, I receive many warnings: compiling at 7:17:22 PM Type if: missing 'then' Objectplay Line if gTP eval then send mouseUp to btn strtOvr Hint (Probably, you used a Mac Only character instead of ) Cant find handler clearFlds Line: send clearFlds to stack eventControl How could I fix these warnings?

Re: [ANN] TimeMachine
I apologize if my TimeMachine stack provokes controversy. Since I am a scientist and a humanist, TimeMachine reflects the current scientific understanding of our universe and events. I welcome anyone to tailor TimeMachine for their own views and perspectives. And to that end, I am revising TimeMachine to allow easy inclusion of new events and editing of all events. But, for the love of god, don't show dinosaurs and humans palling around together!

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 88, Issue 55
Thanks for your feedback, David (and Klaus). I'm certain that you could pull it apart and add to it, but I thought it might be fun to add the ability for users to add events to it without pulling it apart. I'll certainly give that some thought. And a play function sounds interesting too. Hmmm As to size, I felt that the bigger problem for something like this was to keep the byte size down, what with all of the images needed for it. Hence, the images were kept to a minimum size, which led to the size of the TimeScope etc. My wife, wants me to convert this to an iPad app, but I haven't gotten very far with that whole arena . . . yet.

I got a good impression of the overall scope of time playing with this. I wish I could pull it apart and add to it! Some feedback: first on the size of the app, I think it is both too small and too big. I certainly wanted it larger - the design was too small to get a good feel for the subject (on my laptop), but at the same time the design is too big for an iPhone (NB - I think it would make a great liitle iPhone / iPOD app). Secondly I think a play function would be nice to sit back and watch?

Uploading to RevOnline Problems
I know there has been a lot of discussion in the past about the unreliablity of uploading to RevOnline, but does anyone know if there is a size limit?

Vent!
Hi Folks, The most annoying thing I experience with LiveCode is when stack properties get inadvertently changed after switching from the Pointer tool to the Browse tool and vice versa, whilst the Property Inspector is open. Can anyone suggest a way around this without locking or manually closing the inspector? I would prefer that the inspector automatically close when selecting the Browse tool instead of it reverting to the stack properties. Better yet, I would prefer it to not change and remain focussed on the last control! TIA.

You were always impressed with that ;-) Seeing it was in SC, I would have thought somebody that still has SC and is a lot brighter than the two of us put together, could extract and clone the appropriate script. BTW, what's all of this Howdy ? Methinks you've been spending too much time in Montana !! best, Bob... You're right of course. You saw right through my transparent attempt to get one of the many geniuses on this list to build this tool in LiveCode. After all, LiveCode is ten times the tool that SuperCard ever was/is, even w/o the multi-platform feature. Heck, I could do it myself if I could figure out how to get the color of a pixel by location programmatically. And, thanks to Richard Gaskin who, in the next post, summarized the history of SuperCard, much of which I had forgotten. He's right of course, the Trace tool was a SuperEdit tool. There are no verbal salutations in Montana since one doesn't encounter another person often enough to warrant one. A tip of your cowboy hat is all that's needed.

[ANN] ZoneMatic - A Food Diary to Monitor Zone Diet
Howdy, I just uploaded my latest work to RevOnline, a food diary called ZoneMatic . It is focussed on the Zone Diet popularized by biochemist Dr. Barry Sears, hence its name. Using this tool has helped me loose 8 to 10 pounds in about 6 weeks (how practical is that?), and have fun doing it. It uses totally editable pick lists from which you click and drag items into your Morning, Afternoon and Evening food consumed fields. Total calories, carbs, protein and fat are automatically tallied, plus the Carb:Protein:Fat ratio is calculated, which for Zone, should be 40:30:30. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed developing it.

Re: How to make a square topped, round rect bottomed graphic?
Howdy, One of the things I remember most fondly about SuperCard was its incredible shrinker/expander polygon tool. With this tool it was a snap to surround a group of objects, for example, and the tool would then automatically generate a new polygon that fit tightly around the original group. As an option, this tool could also expand to fill a void. I have tried to build such tool in Rev but to no avail. I guess I am too much of an amateur! Oh, to have such a tool in Rev/LiveCode!!
