Insomnia

[RESiNATE]

never mind that last question...

Damn, and I typed out all that stuff just now!

RESiNATE Reviewed by RESiNATE on 01-04-2005. Insomnia I've got insomnia :( I wonder how many people have actually walked this Earth, since time began... If there are 6.5Billion people on this planet now, and a person is born every 2 seconds, and someone dies at the same time, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out...should it? How long has this planet been habitable? Multiply that by 6.5Billion, and the answer should be something around that figure, yeah? But, of course there hasn't always been 6.5Billion people alive at any one time, Rating: 5

does the glass have an opening where you can feel the etching? can lasers be reflected to do the etching.

[RESiNATE]

No, Poorman, the block of glass is solid.
I suppose that they can focus the laser to any given point.
They say: "New laser technology is used to etch very fine dots inside a cube of glass to create visually stunning images. A light source can be added to increase the effect."
(might save up for one of them there light boxes )

I guess that they use some kind of CNC programming (CNC:ComputerisedNumericControl), like they do for punching out holes in a sheet of steel.
Where I used to work, they had a CNC Punch machine that was capable of punching 600 holes per minute - sounded like a machine gun going off lol.
It could handle a piece of steel that measured 2Mtrs sq (8ftx8ft(approx)), and punch out holes of differing sizes in a matter of seconds!
There was a turret in the middle that housed all the punches, and that would spin to the correct punch-size, at the correct X-Y axis...all at terrific speed.
Was very impressive to watch...but very boring to work.
All the operator had to do was load up a piece of steel, press a button *bang bang bang*, unload the steel, then load another one...repeat 500times a day..grrr...

that's why I went back to truck driving lmaooo

"When you have insomina you are never really awake and you're never really asleep. Everything is just a copy of a copy of a copy. When deep space exploration cramps up, it will be the corporations that name everything. The Microsoft Galaxy, The IBM Stellasphere, Planet Starbucks......"

[RESiNATE]

lol, XTC..and the second rule of Fight Club is...

I first saw that film in the cinema, my mate and I were on allsorts of wierd and wonderful stuff (getting the tickets was an episode in itself lmao), and everything was fine, until the moment that he had that mid-air-collision...
I was like, WTF!!!

lol

Excellent film, that says alot that needs to be listened to

Interestingly, I found myself identifying myself with Marla, more than anyone

Except the part about insomnia is so true... I rememeber last winter....

[RESiNATE]

Yeah, I guess that this thread is proof that insomniacs should be banned from the internet lmaooo
I know I'm awake, and later...I'll know that I was awake...and when I do finally fall asleep, I'll not wake up....

..hey, now there's a plan lol

Sorry, bit of darkness creeping in there lol

[poorman3]

yes, i guess that steel job would be boring to do. but to watch it work would be cool. my brother and step brother have their own machine shop. they have a few lathes, one has that cnc on it. the other is older and its manual.lol.

[Buck268]

See, last year I'd not sleep for days then get maybe 8-12 hours and be up for the next few days... it was terribly boring...
