for those not fluent in machine code swarfrat said it makes him salivate and his jaw hit the floor at rapid speeds assuming his jaw is normally 5'6 from the ground. sounds about right.

Thank you. my wife spends an obsessive amount of energy trying to convince me that nobody understands me and my jokes aren't funny. that was quite possibly the nerdiest joke I've ever told and someone not only got it, but laughed. vindication!

I got it, too. Apparently, you missed my earlier post in response to you about negative Z. Or, maybe I was too obscure in my reference.

In the Star Trek movie "The Wrath of Khan", they end up chasing each other around in a nebula, which renders their navigational instruments (among other things) essentially useless. Spock suggests to Kirk that while Khan is undoubtedly very intelligent, his lack of experience in their current situation seems to indicate an inability (or lack of consideration) to think in three dimensions. Kirk gets the hint, and rather than chase Khan, he orders the helm to change their Z axis, which drops them below Khan's path. We're to understand that Khan is moving around in X, Y space and ignoring Z, so he passes right over the Enterprise. Kirk pops back up, now behind Khan, and blows his shite away.

It's an old trick, really. Aerial dogfighters have been doing it since forever, but Hollywood keeps dragging it out as some sort of "deus ex machina" magic that probably works on much of the audience.

Hollywood, ah OK

yeah but the joke is funnier when yu know G00 is rapid movement G20 is inches and M08 is flood coolant. it all adds to the visual you get when you read it.

Hehe! No doubt. It's been a long time since I had to deal with them. The one time I did the first order of business was to write a translation program to get a listing in English that was originally in German. Pretty big 12 axis gantry robot with a Bosch CNC controller on it. Lotta fun, that one. Nice hardware, lotta capability, but the documentation I had to work with left a lot to be desired.

it always amazes me, the wealth of experience people here have. its like warmoth is a magnet for the engineering type. its kinda interesting.
