And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And in this moment..I will not run
It is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands
(bloodied hands)
And in our Dying, we're more alive-than we have ever been
I've lived for these few seconds
For I am Winter born

That's where a trace route impiles the server is located.

It all depends on where you buy your maps. Check out the link for a selection.arargh wrote:Dallas, Texas, USA is "down under"?Phantom wrote: Well you know how time is all screwed up down under...

I'm mad - at least I have an excuse for what I do.

I would find one of those maps almost completely unusable.
I am way too used to north at the top.

The history of maps shows a variety of approaches, including the medieval "Mappa Mundi" in Hereford Cathedral, which is as much a religious encyclopedia and history as a map, and shows the Centre of the world as Jerusalem.

There are also wonderful road maps from the 17th Century, which show roads as straight lines, but they show the sights and inns along the way.
Mariners maps would show profiles of the coast, as seen from a ship.
Each one is a valid approach and suitable for the use it is put to.

Space is three dimensional, so you would need an interesting design, possibly using vectors.
Projecting a spherical planet onto a flat sheet has different problems - the Mercantor projection is the most common, but others are also used -

VM host ran out of disk space, which resulted in the hypervisor pausing the VM.gnume wrote:the site was down till just around now.

Re: what going on ? [site / server problem]
Oh that is always my worst nightmare. Make sure that the Hosting company isn't keeping snapshots longer than 24 hrs. The delta file aspect on the VM hypervisors out there don't like long running snapshots. The files grow exponentially. I'd also ask them if you are in a shared datastore for your VM/VMs versus a Datastore of your own.Spec8472 wrote:VM host ran out of disk space, which resulted in the hypervisor pausing the VM.gnume wrote:the site was down till just around now.
