Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Ron, don't! Splinter groups ... holy war ... crusades ... inquisitions ... Hmm, but then, we already have all that here ... -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
NJ, just when we're discussing a stable view for quiet, dignified people you praise CJ and those pests jumping about all over the screen. I fear the next step is rhymed poetry using only those things. Brock and I are considering a public nuisance suit. |>:(| |^| |:x| |=)| -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
CJ, spot on! Gathered you could "see" things, but how did you know this? Only, that's in regard to intention. Also, a few problems: (1) Optics den. Funding (for structure and contents) - how to set about it - try Goethe-Institut? (2) Printout. Thought of switching Pompadour before Holger - going... -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Holger, you may well know all this, the result of a quick googling by me. The Goethe-Institut funds translations from German. So does the organisation/s at: http://www.new-books-in-german.com/english/201/130/129002/liste9.html. The latter does this for humanities subjects - there's no mention of... -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Holger, thanks! Wouldn't have expected such things in this paper, published in that journal, and suggested by Ed. The other flaw, which you point out, I had missed - didn't go that far without trying to clear up more basic problems. All the more reason for my next question (/demand!) - where's... -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Holger, thanks. Could you, further, kindly explain, if it's not too much bother: "This equation provides additional support for the statement that there is a useful upper limit for the magnification of a hand-held binocular, and that this upper limit is about 10." Russ, bad news... -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
David, thanks for complicating that further. But seriously, you've shown another factor, and explained it really well; thanks. My problem is: where does one see a stated value, or formula, or graph... which shows or implies a max. or min. at or near 10x? Again sorry if I'm missing something... -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
First I quoted here three responses but deleting as that makes this post quite a bit longer. Holger, David, Ed, thanks. Ed, please excuse my ignorance and/or lapses of reasoning, but could you kindly explain the foll. point if not too much trouble, or direct me where that'll be done. Went... -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
In many it's an effect. In Brock it's gone beyond and is also an affect. The cause is the grand crusader instinct (and possibly another factor or two). |=)| -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Brock, seems my deletion |:x| and your response "crossed in cyberspace". Gave Reason for deleting as "Inappropriate." |:$| Well, now it's there on record, and I hope seen by all to be harmless fun - but not without a point! |;| Actually, there are no deniers! Not now. Their frivolity is now... -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
This page in Swaro.'s website includes a video of that trip. http://www.swarovskioptik.us/en_us/press-releases/pr-us_el-50-swarovision. Again my nagging - and maybe unrealistic - wish for statistics (very approx. will do!): wonder what % of adults, say, till their mid-sixties, can hand-hold a... -

Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Also at least one other tester at the site. I always look for this in the reviews there. -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Brock, sorry lost track, or rather never quite kept, but what are the models which show RB to you, and, as you recall, those you haven't tried which show it to others? Just a list is welcome, in order of seriousness if poss. Any Zeisses? Gathered, likely from BF, that since long ago Z. have... -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
CJ, I was going to say pretty much the same thing as Sancho. Usually I rein myself in when I get "caught". But yesterday two random pedestrians caught me at it within minutes. Now, that condition might be perilous. PS. No, it wasn't threats at you. -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Brock, with my brief manner of writing it might difficult enough to get my own ideas let alone others' - there's been a bit more confusion there than you seem to have seen! But all's well... -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Brock, thanks. As I said, am sometimes asked basic things regarding bins, so like to know the approx. likelihood of r. ball, also r. bowl if that high: how many see it, how many cannot adapt... say, 10% see it, 5% don't get over it... Mark, Lee, Pileatus, CJ (in short, Dear All), there's... -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Brock, thanks. If not a precise count even a "r-b-park" figure will do. Actually, it should be useful for yourself to have that info at hand! Or how about reckoning the % of people affected - again, very roughly. You can copy this in your reply, or stress the words "very roughly", if you're... -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
You got that a bit wrong - that's something else. Loco-tech is what we sometimes talk on BF. Okay, at least I (just remembered I was told off today - on another thread - about my "we".) -
P
Rolling Ball: what do I do?!
Brock, sorry if you've clearly stated this, but it's difficult to go back a lot through your mostly pretty long posts! How many people you know of (incl. you) regulalry experience RB - i.e. feel and don't adapt to it? (If you vaguely remember me in this connection, what I said is that once I...
