"I can see you Kirk! Can you see me?"
I was hoping someone would come out of the woodwork, so you actually fell for my bait.
So, what'cha doin'?
Profiling font rasterizing code.
Well, projecting a spherical object on a flat plane is going to necessarily introduce distortions in shape. There are many different ways of doing that projecting, some better than others, but none perfectly.
Anyway, I took a look at several different ones, and while there is some difference, England is very obviously pretty much directly north of France no matter how you do it.
Cool. I like it when things rasterize. What? I'm serious.
Having breakfast and catching up a re-run al last night's Cold Case episode that I dozed off on. It's far from being my favourite show, but it's not bad although my sister (the one who lives in France. She's the real Cold Case fan.) pointed out it's too often about the murder of kids. I like the episodes where the case is at least 50 years od, and this one was.
You should know. Canada is big, but not that big.
That's what I'm saying. The difference can't be in longitude, what time zones are about.Anyway, I took a look at several different ones, and while there is some difference, England is very obviously pretty much directly north of France no matter how you do it.
I liked the one about a woman songwriter in the 20's. I still remember that song '300 roses'. That was a good job.
I wated to talk about something: I saw this James Bond movie again, The Living Daylights, and I loved Timothy Dalton of course, he's my favourite James Bond, I find him the hottest and he's one of the 2 most classy, but Maryam D'Abo's character, the only woman in the movie, makes a terrible James Bond Girl. She's useless and so needy with him. Not quite consistent with her being a sniper at the beginning. At least she's beautiful and classy too.
*edit* Ok, towards the end, she acts, but if you were piloting a plane, even if your partner was fighting off a villain in the back, would you fly into a mountain?

France runs on Central European Time which Germany and several other EU countries use.

Britain runs on GMT or Universal Time as it's now called.

You know, I've never actually seen it. I've always wanted to see it though because I've heard both good and bad things about Dalton Bond.
EDIT: Thanks. Wow, they had to call it Universal? Like all of the universe is calibrated to Britain?
Huh, and according to that article, Ria, Britain is right and France is wrong! You should be in their time zone, not the other way around.

Hi captcalhoun. I can never help reading your post in Hugh Jackman's voice.
I didn't mention GMT because of Daylight Savings time (it's called "summer time" and "winter time" in France".). But GMT never changes, does it ?
Pretty soon we'll switch to winter time and it should be GMT+1 instead of GMT+2, but almost everybody does the same thing so the differences remain the same.
And I'm not telling you about crossing state lines with different time zones in Mexico the day of the time change last spring... You kind of "lose your Latin", and the French expression goes.
Edit: Not that it matters at what time you order a garnished omelette or something in Mexico. Brunch is anywhere between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., even later. They don't give you any "morning menu is not served at this hour" crap.

They got the Greenwich meridian.
EDIT: When you stand upon that hill (Greenwich) , you sort of feel like you own the world.

Damn right it is.
I wish I owned a world
Nothing so grandiose from me, I just want a small place to be on my own.
Britain, the only country so good they named it Great.
Hey, aren't you that guy that fucked the pie?

Notice how it didn't become Great until Scotland joined up.
