    being able to create a field which nullified the effect of mass would violate conservation of mass/energy, either it would be used to eliminate energy (move something heavy off a ledge without doing work) or make energy (refill a hydroelectric plant using no energy input) thus any translocation technology will at least require the amount of energy required to move mass M distance D in Time T, otherwise a randomly bad placed natural wormhole/ translocation artifact wouls hafe either absorbed all energy in the universe or annhilated the universe in a spectacular explosion as it turned to pure energy/mass.

    One solution, btw, is not to abandon the better quality parts, but to create an open parts standard. The more cars that use a specific part, the more generic offerings there are and the cheaper those offerings become.
    How dare you suggest that our corporate overlords compete with each other, sedition to undermine corporate profits is a capital offense

    well seeing as some of the code has been shortened already using tricks like #define _f float it's not like the original code was meant to be readable, in any other case i wouls never remove white space and the variable names were already short, i didn't change them, only the places where #define was used on a variable that only existed once in the program

    funny thing is that without any knowledge of raytracing I was able to chop it down to 1,855 bytes, some of the variables that are #defined are only used once, (they are defining numbers to var names, good practice while coding, but bad if only used once or twice and you are going for small source, I also removed all the line breaks since the compiler only cares about ; except for preprocessor instructions.

    copyright infringement != theft
    copyright infringement is a violation of rights but is no more theft than vandalism is, except the opposite, vandalism takes property from it's owner illegally without gaining property for the vandal, infringement gains property for the infringer without depriving the owner of the property.
