That's the orrery.
This is the first prototype for the much larger version to be built in Nevada.

They have some even more interesting projects in mind, than the clock of the long now.

The library projects and software preservation should be much more meaningful.
You can even buy bits made for the clock.

I have made some foolish mistakes in my spelling right here on e-playa that I'm not proud of, but you Mr. Smartypants MDMF spelled the word TRESPASSING wrong. There are three "S" in that word and two of them are together.mdmf007 wrote:Yeah, it was funny like three days ago - but now its just dumb.... Stop posting here. STOP THE TRESPASING, and Get off my thread.
I am further embarassed by the fact that I have to correct you here. Your mistake caused me to make a needless post here.
I trust that this will never happen again!

I hate to have to step in here, kids, but, no bickering.......we're all on the same team.....except 007, who has shown his nose picking Napoleonic megalomaniacal ways, and so inclined to opine sacrosanct opinion..........Shambala wrote:What's the other word? ITS! IT'S!
Keep correcting him........
I can see a day, when, no matter where he posts, some one of "us" troops, posts right behind him, reminding him of his folly at denying our ability, nay, right, to post many times about absolutely nothing, just to say we can and did and, to preserve our station as the "post majority"...........
respectfully, submitted

Since you have the ability to correct your mistakes days later, could you be a good sport and add an apostrophe to the word "its" and if it's no trouble could you make the "G" in Get off my thread, a small "g"?mdmf007 wrote:Yeah, it was funny like three days ago - but now its just dumb....
