fafalone Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Highly technical, but interesting. Post questions or comments. Alot of people like to argue about the theories based on this stuff, but hopefully this will elucidate how very unlikely it is they know what they're talking about Note: In PS format, get GSView here if you don't already have a program to read this filetype. general relativity.zip
aman Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Thanks, Faf, I put it on the pile for reading tonight after supper. Just aman

Is there any chance you could convert them to a more familiar format? kind regards
fafalone Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 Postscript is a major format among technical institutions. You need a program such as GSView.

Installing GSView would take up far less of your time than converting them would take of mine. (5 minutes vs 10 minutes )
Giles Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 There's a link in the original post ffs. takes about two minutes to do everything.

(5 minutes vs 10 minutes ) Hang on, I'm lazy because you expect everyone else to download programs to view something you are offering? Now add in all the other 5 minutes that other people without these programs would have to take. 10 minutes of your time v. 5x people's time. kind regards
fafalone Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 I took the time to find, zip, and post these lectures. If you can't view the format, too bad. Don't read them. Alot of people can view the PS format, especially because of its prominence in science. The PDF conversion makes the quality take a huge hit and there's nothing I can do about that. What about people who are too lazy to DL Acrobat and view PDFs? Should I convert it to DOC format? Those are both Windows formats, than I have to convert it to Linux. Then the people on BeOS will start complaining. If you want to read the lectures, download the program. Otherwise, f' off.

I made simple request and you immediately call me lazy and now I should f' off. I can see why you're not in public relations. kind regards
Giles Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 I suspect it's more the total lack of gratitude, esp. considering you were one of the people who remarked they needed to brush up on general relativity.
blike Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Uncalled for. don't be dick. He ends his post with "kind regards", and you end yours with "f' off." I'll convert when I figure out how. Give me till tonight, gotta do some studying first.

Given that he's been complaining about a resource given freely, and is refusing to download a 1 megabyte program, I don't think the problem is with faf.

"I'd love to view these but I'm not installing two programs I don't want just to do so. Is there any chance you could convert them to a more familiar format?" I don't think he was really complaining, just asking a favor. Given the politeness of his statement, I don't understand why it couldn't have been a friendly exchange.

More familiar format = ?
fafalone Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 The funniest thing is I actually did convert them to PDF and when I tried to upload them a server error froze my browser, so rather than try again I just ranted about how people should install programs I link to to view it
fafalone Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 silence before i restrict your posting to pseudoscience
fafalone Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 Like you could even begin to comprehend relativity
§lîñk€¥™ Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Fafalone, I feel I owe you an apology. I took the time to download the programs and view what you had offered. Had I know how much information was there (200 pages +) I probably would'nt have asked for the format change. Anyways, it was only a small thing. No hard feelings I hope? There's none here (hey, I might need to pick your brains in the future. I don't need to make an enemy of you and certainly don't desire it). As to some of the other comments here. Grow up people. That's the worst kind of bandwaggoning and supposedly intelligent people should have more pride in their behaviour than to think a couple of misplaced words describes someones whole character. If I find a way to convert them and keep their quality I will let you know. kind regards
fafalone Posted January 26, 2003 Author Posted January 26, 2003 I apologize also, I was just pissed off because I converted all of it then internet explorer froze when I tried to upload it.. it actually only took 10 minutes to convert
blike Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 I apologize also, I was just pissed off because I converted all of it then internet explorer froze when I tried to upload it.. it actually only took 10 minutes to convert Well, if it makes you feel any better, it froze my computer too. Every time the server has an SQL error, it sends the error report to me in ascii format to my email. So basically when I opened the email, I got a display of the full file in ascii format, which my beast of a machine (800mhz, 128mb ram) didn't like Needless to say, I ended up rebooting. BOO.
