Premium Member Keith Walters Posted October 8, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted October 8, 2010 Actually, I mainly wanted to see what changes happen when you write a post as a sustaining member :rolleyes: The Australian dollar came within a whisker of hitting parity with the greenback this morning so if anybody here wants to buy anything in the US, (or just about anywhere but here for that matter) now is the time to do it! I have a credit card (with a $17,500 limit) which for the last 9 months has had a minus $54 balance (ie $54 credit) because I accidentally overpaid my last statement. Apparently that sort of thing drives the billing computers to distraction because every now and again I'd get a call on a very bad line from someone with a very strong Indian accent, asking me "This account has a $54 credit. What are your requirements, please?" Well at the moment A$54 is exactly the right amount to secure a lifetime sustaining membership on this forum! The whole thing only took a couple of minutes from start to sustaining membership. Now my card has a credit of about 30 cents. Let's see how that affects them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Bah, as of this writing CDN $ is .5 above the Auzzie dollar. In Nov 2007 the CDN $ was worth $1.10 USD. That was the time I was able to wallpaper an entire room in US one dollar bills. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, do I want the interior for my new Ferrari to be black or tan? R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted October 10, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted October 10, 2010 Richard, only the "mildly well off" go with the stock colors. I spoke with Damien Hirst to get just the right interior for my Telsa roadster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Keith Walters Posted October 11, 2010 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 11, 2010 Now AUZD and CDND are dead even Keith! How shall we celebrate our new found wealth? R, Well, we could buy RED MX's, but because our bad attitudes, they won't serve us. That would allow you to make another 5-6 films for a total of something under $900,000 and I'd have something concrete to test my resolution chart program. That's still well on it's way by the way. I spent a ridiculous amount of time tracking down a baffling bug in one small section of the program. A single change to a single line of code finally nailed it, but I only discovered this morning that that's now completely stuffed all the other sections, all you get is a lot of white rectangles! I've also just noticed that on the printouts I made the resolution graticule (ie the numeric scale along the bottom of the sweep charts) doesn't exactly match the charts. Reason: In some places I used a declared Constant called Pi with the value pasted in from Wikipedia, in others I just typed in Pi to 6 places by hand, in others I used the much more accurate Pi = 4 * ATN(1). You wouldn't think that would make enough difference to matter, but it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
