I'm staggered.
This has to be one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever seen - it must surely be a troll, but I'll give it the benefit of any doubt.. And yes, this post contains several insults, and I'll *happily* wear any penalty for same - my defence being that sometimes insults are simply accurate descriptions...
I don't want to post the patent number because my real name is on it..
Well then, effectively you don't have a patent, as far as this forum is concerned. Don't claim it if you can't back it up.
and I don't want people searching on it to end up on this forum where I'm just messing around on my off time.
That's an extra hint to your trolling, is it?
But you're right - you would be insane to have your real name attached to the embarrassing gaffes you have posted so far (and that continue in this post). No one with half a brain would employ you after reading the tripe you've posted here - even MacDonalds wants employees who have the ability to apply basic logic..
Furthermore, regarding the AULIS photos, I can't defend them as I could my own work.
Then WHY in the name of all that is even vaguely sensible, did you bring that excrement here? That entire site is garbage, and even those with a cursory engineering background, let alone those with other specialist skills like photography (many of whom reside here) - can see that. But not
you...
They look reasonable at a glance.
How bloody ridiculous. So you admit your research was 'a glance'? Gee, it doesn't show at all {/sarcasm}
If I get a chance to do my own analysis
Golly, do you think maybe you should have done that BEFORE making these unbelievably ignorant proclamations?
.. and they don't hold up, I'll say so.
Well, you haven't said so, so far. I guess we need to give you some latitude while your posts are checked by a grown up.. but frankly, if you don't get back soon and start saying so, I think it is safe to assume that you haven't got a single clue.
I just tried downloading the GIMP editor to analyze the photos
So, you've been researching this sort of stuff, but didn't have a basic image editor? It justs gets worse, if that's possible. Learn as you go, huh?
but it hung up this macbook I'm using.
Oh, what a terrible shame. It *is* so difficult to download and install software, isn't it. perhaps you should seek some professional help from people who know what they are doing.. perhaps you could apply this principle to a wider extent, also..
I expect some of the claims may very well not hold up.
Well, that's the closest to being right you have managed.. Pretty much all of it doesn't hold up. If you had any knowledge of photography and the basics of perspective, parallax and photogrammetry,
you would have been able to spot that AT A GLANCE... (See what i did there?)
If somebody can do an overlay of these two photos
Many here can, including me..
(which normally I could do in 15 seconds, until my laptop got stolen out of my car)
Oh you poor darling. There there, never mind. Would you like some cheese to go with your whine?
then that particular claim will certainly be shot down.
Oh look - an escape clause!! What a surprise - gee, who didn't see that bit of Gish Galloping coming... Anyway, others seem to have already done some overlays for you - I'd prefer not to waste my time
until you commit to your very best piece of 'evidence'.
All the rest of this ignorant ranting by you is just meaningless handwaving - and you have given away the game you are planning to play by showing right there how you want to wriggle out of this one before it's too late.. Thank heavens that laptop was stolen, right, Alex? Have you got the dog ready for the next excuse?
it only takes one bogus photo to be found to indicate fakery by NASA
So
WHICH ONE IS THAT BOGUS PHOTO, ALEX?Surely you picked the smokin' gun BEFORE you came here so confidently?
although it wouldn't prove going to the moon or not.
The burden of proof is YOURS, Alex. History records we went. You say we didn't, so show the BEST EVIDENCE YOU HAVE. Go on, be BRAVE - COMMIT. Your game is up - no more changing the subject, no more stolen laptops, no more galloping, no more escape clauses for every claim so you can simply jump from one bit of stupidity to the next.
Just grow some cojones and
SHOW YOUR BEST EVIDENCE.Consider that a direct request - I would ask the moderator to hold you to the rules of discussion.
And Alex, if you feel that request is unfair, please, do tell us exactly why.
