Should I start to read Gone with the Wind, or are you going to release G4 soon? Posts: 7 | Registered: Monday, June 27 2005 07:00 |

Well, I assume you mean that you are waiting for the Windows version. It has only been a few weeks, so be patient. It usually takes Jeff a little while to port the game because it apparently is not as easy as running it through a single automated program. :rolleyes: If you do read Gone with the Wind, tell me how it goes. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

It would take about 2 weeks just to run through the game for the beta testers to see if there were any mistakes in porting. At least all the plot and areas are finished which didn't happen with the Mac version. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

just calm down now, as much as we would love to have jeff as a slaved geek working in our basement chained to his PC - or mac if you swing that way - we must remember that he got him self a wife - or did she get him?- and they reproduced...so either have more Patience or build a time machine stop his courting and enslave him.... that or buy a mac...but the time machine would be cooler!

Thanks Guys, This is the nicest group of posters I have ever seen. A support group if you will. I was only kidding with Jeff, trust me I know he is working hard. Man, RPG Codex would have ripped my head off. Thanks again for the nice replies!!!! And Still hurry up Jeff!!!! :) Posts: 7 | Registered: Monday, June 27 2005 07:00 |

Am I mistaken, or does OS 10.5 not come with a program called Time Machine? -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

It didn't, until after it was developed late next year. (My time in the Cosa Bianca has not been entirely wasted.) -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

No, Spiderweb isn't a support group. It is, according to Robin, "a big, steaming pool of estrogen." —Alorael, who can now abuse his metaphor further by noting that Spiderweb seems to run low on steam whenever there aren't enough flames around to keep it going.

I am aware that 10.5 isn't out yet. I simply seem to recollect that, in the keynote presentation about Leopard, a program called Time Machine was introuduced. Having located it on Apple.com as well, I can only assume that you were merely mocking my choice to use present tense for its existance. Technically, a time machine would exist at all times... -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

Given sufficient time, a time machine will end up in every time. In fact, given infinite time a time machine has a reasonable probability of occupying all space and time in the universe. —Alorael, who has of course approximated the time machine as spherical, uniform in composition, uncharged, massless, and indestructible.

Theoretically using certain black holes you can access other times, however what's left of you won't be able to enjoy the experience. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Alorael, that still does not explain why it must be in every time at once. I am sure that the DeLorean from Back to the Future only went to specific times and places. At best it would only occupy all the time between dates, which is really no better than any other normal object. Randomizer, that is a pretty big "theoretically". I theorize that through black holes lie the sanity that we have all left at the door. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Yes, that was definately bad phrasing. The great majority of theories in this regard disagree with that. I meant, simply, that even if "Time Machine" hasn't been released yet, it has been developed, and thus, if it worked as an actual Space/Time transport, rather than simply a system to back up your files, it would be possible to deliver a copy to the past. I am sure some sort of restrictions would be put in place, though. Apple police roaming time... -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

Still not understanding. :confused: And Alorael, why would a time machine be an elementary particle? Or were you describing merely the "chronotons" that enabled time travel, and the machine itself was some other object? -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

The critical part is the time machine being indestructible. If it survives catastrophic locations and events, it will end up going through everyone's hands, and someone among everyone will eventually want to go everywhere and everywhen. That's a grotesque approximation, of course, which is why I added the standard excessive physics disclaimer. —Alorael, who wonders if Zxquez is, in fact, a time machine. Or perhaps Imban. That would explain why they're everyone. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Arghhh! The time machine paradigm you present is incoherent to me. If the time machine traveled through time by itself at random intervals, then it would make sense. However, if it must require an operator, then an absence of which would confound your prediction. Of course there are many ways to make it true, but nothing will necessarily happen. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.
