[color=sky blue] I'm new...do I have to join stories to get avatar tags or can I just have a regular avatar?[/color] :confused:

Post by: vadar_1 on July 06, 2002, 11:21:13 pm

stories?

you have to be part of a campaign to get one, to be part of a campaign you have to have a special modding skill and work hard to help them out.

The admins have a little program that track what we say, if we say admin in any post, it appears on a viewscreen in the Admin's Domain of Hell :)

Welcome to the HLPBB!! The place where Space Crack is free !

Some important rules:

1. Always follow Styxx his Plan™ ( know one knows what the Plan is but we follow it ):p atleast some of us:p

2. Don't use the dusty Shotguns under your seat, they are defective. Trade it in for a shiny new flametrower.

3. Allways disturb Jeevez when he is pollishing scanning aray's.

4. Be afraid of the Freak of Justice ( FOJ ):D P1mp mode:D

5. Have fun !

And about the art thing we can learn you;)

Welcome to the HLPBB, Borealis. And pay no mind to the others (well, except for Shrike ;) ). Once you get used to them they don't seem near as bad as they want you to believe. :D Although it looks like you're settling in nicely already.

If you have works of art you want to put up and let everyone enjoy, then by all means check out the Art forum. And if you're feeling bold, you can take a stab at Node Wars...kinda a Freespace take on Dungeons & Dragons. NW is looking for a few good men *and women* as players and as concept artists, since one of our resident renderers is making a little movie based on our antics in-game. :D Although we haven't heard anything from him recently...

Most of the campaigns are looking for people with experience with modeling/texturing and mission creation. If you think you can help out, drop a line and see what happens. Although don't get like some and start collecting avatars...:rolleyes::p

Oh, and something else (as you may have noticed by now), topics here go from zero to off-topic in 4.3 seconds. :D

Almost definitely B. She used the little asterix thingies to denote an action in the thread title, she can used the image, color and bold tags and she has a friendly manner about her which causes people to like her (ie acclimate with the board peeps). The only thing even remotely newbie-ish is that her first post was to start a new thread but she could just be such a vet that she quickly saw that starting a thread for yer first post wouldn't be fiercly frowned upon as it is on some boards and so didn't need to be as precautious as to build her post count before starting one.

[color=sky blue]thank you, Anon!...I am so glad that someone offers something besides criticism for my use of colored text. It seems that two of the gents I already know here are trying in vain to make me a colorless conformist. One of them is even trying to pimp me out. ;7 Since they're both so cute I'll forgive them. :p

to answer your questions:

a. this one answers itself...ha!
b. I'll prove this is true by saying I'm not surprised that I'm getting more replies since I used the word 'libido' ;)

If you have works of art you want to put up and let everyone enjoy, then by all means check out the Art forum. And if you're feeling bold, you can take a stab at Node Wars...kinda a Freespace take on Dungeons & Dragons. NW is looking for a few good men *and women* as players and as concept artists, since one of our resident renderers is making a little movie based on our antics in-game. :D Although we haven't heard anything from him recently...

that's because wEvil is moving and working and generally has less time to work on it :(

Title: Minimum Distance Using Lagrange Multipliers
Post by: TheCelestialOne on July 09, 2002, 02:47:32 am

phi(x,y,z) = f(x,y,z) - kg(x,y,z)

Then f(x,y,z) will have a stationary point subject to constraint
g(x,y,z) = 0 when part(d(phi)/dx) = 0, part(d(phi)/dy) = 0,
part(d(phi)/dz) = 0 and g(x,y,z) = 0.

This gives four equations to find x, y, z and k.

k is the Lagrange multiplier and phi is the auxiliary function.

Applying these ideas to our problem, we have

f(x,y,z)= x^2 + y^2 +(z-c)^2

and

g(x,y,z) = x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 -z^2

The auxiliary function is

phi(x,y,z) = f(x,y,z) - kg(x,y,z)
= x^2+y^2+(z-c)^2 - k(x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 - z^2)

Then:

part(d(phi)/dx) = 2x -k(2x/a^2) = 0 ......................(1)

part(d(phi)/dy) = 2y -k(2y/b^2) = 0 ......................(2)

part(d(phi)/dz) = 2(z-c) -k(-2z) = 0 ......................(3)

g(x,y,z) = x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 - z^2 = 0 ............(4)

Now we must solve (1), (2), (3) and (4) for k, x, y and z.

From (1) and (2) x and y can take any values and we could have:

From (1) 1 - k/a^2 = 0, so k = a^2

then from (2) y = 0

From (3) z-c + kz = 0, so z(1+k) = c, z = c/(1+k)

z = c/(1+a^2)

From (4) x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 - c^2/(1+k)^2 = 0

x^2/a^2 + 0 - c^2/(1+a^2)^2 = 0

x^2/a^2 = c^2/(1+a^2)^2
and taking square roots
x/a = c/(1+a^2)

x = ac/(1+a^2)

So a point on the cone nearest to (0,0,c) is

x = ac/(1+a^2)
y = 0
z = c/(1+a^2).

And this was simple...

Shouldn't there be a internal Compact Meson Bomb (CMB) inside a Shivan plushie?

Just to be sure nobody will steal it... :D

Actually, mine would have a remote jumpdrive that would activate if someone broke into my car. :D

ROFL !!....We all are nerds here:D

And everything here has a weapons, even beds have a beam cannon and a subspace drive ! But the most important thing is the fridge !:D

And we like :headz: :p

Beware ! of the FOJ ( freak of justice™ ) :thepimp:

hehe, what you are witnessing here is fallout from Nodewars. :D

Somehow the Shivan Plushie became an icon of everything that is yet to happen.
Not to mention how cute it actually is when it's not trying to chew one's head off. :p

Aaaaaaw. I can just imagine it now! :D

And I'm not a nerd! Its just that my Shivan Plushie is more important to me than my car... :D

Minimum Distance Using Lagrange Multipliers

Oh this stuff is pretty neat; I remember doing these optimization problems some time ago. As you might know, this topic gets really, really interesting when it is extended to funtionals in the calculus of variations; the Lagrange multiplier identity ( ÑF(v1,v2...) = l Ñg1(v1,v2...) + l Ñg2(v1,v2...)+ ... ) is just a special case of the generalized Euler-Lagrange equation for functionals ( ¶f/¶u - ¶/¶v1 ( ¶f/¶( ¶u/¶x ) ) = 0 ) when the independent function variables are constants. Some interesting problems in differential geometry and topology can be solved by applying an appropriate form of that equation: finding a geodesic given two points and a surface, finding minimal surfaces, finding the surface of minimal surface area and/or volume between two curves, etc. Really cool stuff. :)
