Time Travel? possible?
All the energy in the universe would not get you past the speed of light. You can approach the speed of light; however the closer to the speed of light you get, the greater the percentage of energy you put into accelerating yourself would be converted directly into mass. Correct, which is why the "Warp" project is still under planning (up to 250+ distinctive theories, all waiting for technology to catch up to them). With "warp" you essentially warp space and time around the spacecraft (some with bubbles, some claiming to go cross-dimensional...glad I won't be piloting that thing!). It's basic purpose is to remove all mass and add countermass (aka antigravity) to the spacecraft to allow it to break Relativity. The only trouble with the theory is that we: A: Do not have a fast enough sub-light engine. That engine has to be able to cross the lowest threshhold of the light barrier. B: Do not have a suitable power source as of yet to power a warp-field generator. Antimatter is theoretically possible, but we have made little progress in the past 70 years in it's developement. C: We don't yet have the facilities to effectively and cheaply test the hundreds of theories on FTL travel. Maybe it will be 60 years from now like in Star Trek, maybe 500 years. Eventually, I believe FTL will happen. From there, time travel is child's play.

Those Who Own Cats . . .
Nothing really stopping you now is there. I know... maybe next year. I dont want it clawing at my nice leather sofa tho lol. Get their front paws de-clawed. People say it's inhuman, but it's for yours and their own good. Keep the back paws, because they like to jump, and those claws make good brakes. Our other cat is an orange tabby named Gabby, and she is like Jabba the Hut sizewise (yet is still the fastest cat I have ever seen). She is also so docile. She licks everyone, and never bites.

American Rex, and his name is Lucifer (Rex is the common American housecat). Lazy as all else, cute as the [bleep]ens, and starting to get old.

VICTORIAS SECRET FASHION SHOW!!!!!!
And so is the one in the middle if I got her right. The flipside of those underwears is that they only look good on nearly anorectic models, as they are made for them. If any "normal" woman would put those on, it wouldn't look even nearly as nice. Trust me sir, VC looks good on pretty much any girl out there :P. It's like even if you don't like chocolate, Ghirardelli is still good :).

Time Travel? possible?
Except to combine it with matter through a medium (such as crystalline lithium or some other crystalline element) with electromagnets controlling the flow. Now, if someone were to throw that pound of antimatter on the ground, it would be like 10 nuclear bombs.

New Cutscene - Video
835 megabytes? How huge is this file?! I made a super-high quality .avi with music that was 38 minutes long and it was only 630 megs! And Marlin, Youtube would come to his house and beat him if he tried to host a file that big.

Time Travel? possible?
Nuclear Fusion is too weak Thats the most funny thing ive heard in a long time. The whole UNIVERSE is powered by nuclear fusion, and its weak!? If you say that, i can hardly believe the rest of the stuff you say in your post. Id be interested to hear about the plans for faster than the speed of light travel if you have them Forgive me, I meant to say Nuclear Fission. I'm not an astrophysicist, I just read an article from NASA. And Bluelancer, that estimate was from 1939. $1 billion is the cost based on a proposed machine that could produce an ounce, but it has not been tested (as it's cost would probably be the half the budge of the Congress of the US, with $1 billion per ounce made with it).

Time Travel? possible?
Faster than light travel is possible, the theories are there, and the equipment is planned. The only thing lacking is a suitable power source. Nuclear Fusion is too weak, and powerful Matter/Anti-Matter reactions are implausible due to the sheer cost of creating anti-matter ($1 Billion US per ounce!). Until we can tame antimatter (1 pound of the stuff could power the entire world for 1 hour), we can't generate the electromagnetic fields that "warp" the time/space coefficient. NASA has all the theories regarding "warp speed", but technology has not caught up. And before you start flaming me as a Trekki (which I am guilty of), Warp Travel has been theorized since the 50's, and the first anti-matter was created in 1939.

Who here is agnostic?
I am fundamentalist. If someone is not Christian, I just refer to them as a person. I think this is the 14th time I have had to post to warn people from making generalized statements about Fundamentalists.

Technology, is there a point which it is bad for a society?
When will technology go to far? A man in England is inventing technology that implants computers in your brain, so you can use your thoughts to navigate the internet and communicate with others. It's a giant step forward to our destruction. How far are we away from hearing "We will add your biological and technological constructiveness to our own. Resistance is Futile." line that SciFi loves to throw around?

New items destroy economy.
The economy is run by 13 year olds. Inflation hits when their girlfriends dump them. Besides, in any normal economy an influx of new items is a good shot in the arm.

Trust me, I've been waiting for a cleric set for a very long time now.

05-Dec-2006-Treasure Trails, spiders and sheep
Ugh, of all these items, these are the only ones I really really want: Saradomin or Guthix Crozier, Vestments, stoles, hood, and mitre. I can't even imagine the prayer boost from that thing. And to go along with that, a new glory amulet. The Third Age ranger armor looks pretty sweet as well.

The best music piece in Runescape?
Waterfall. Always has been my favorite.

Dark Matter
Every major historical event of the Bible is proven correct. I am talking about empires, borders, and wars. For many of these wars, the Bible is the most detailed and historically correct recantation of the events.

Need help Christma-tizing a sig
It's Christmastime at the Star Trek forums, and everyone seems to be Santa-tizing their signatures! (Yes I am a nerd). Can someone christmasify this sig? Like add santa and his sleigh, or have the ship pulling the sleigh (or heck, have the reindeer pulling the ship!) I stink at graphical design, so any help would be lovely! If you hate that image, please feel free to find another picture of the "Excelsior Class" starship and make it into a spiffy sig. Christmas designs are appreciated!

Dark Matter
Hi. I am a Christian. I still walk around with a sword on my belt. If you blaspheme God or look at a woman the wrong way, I will kill you in the name of Christ. I dump my excrement out the window, and it causes plagues. Science is a curse word. I laugh at any fellow who claims that the Earth is anything but a disc surrounded by monsters at the center of the Universe. Gravity? Hah, God pushed it. Lol. Seriously, I am getting sick of these topics that claim that Christians are backwards Middle Age relics. We believe in science, too.

Worst Game You Ever Played
I bet it does, i read all 15 books (Original 12 + 3 Prequels) I donno, sometimes games are screwy like that. Im sure we will figure it out. And i havent read the book where Carpathia dies in like over a year, i though that Rayford wanted to kill him but he didnt go through with it and i thought Dr. Chaim Rosenzweig killedhim. Thank you for ruining it. Ha well ya uhh sorry about that BUT! the book is like 4years old, if one little thing slips it wont be the worst thing i could say, and if Barihawk is right he spoiled it anyway :wall: Rayford hit him. The bullet completely shattered the podium and blew away Nicolai's stomach and kidney. It just wasn't what killed him, though. And rocket, you should have known that the Antichrist was going to eat it at some point in the series :P.

My friend might kill himself.. what do I do?
That's not even funny. Ever.

My friend might kill himself.. what do I do?
Amen to that. Many people are afraid to deal with a suicidal friend for that reason. But the thing is that you need to get the knife out of their hands as quickly as possible, even if it means jeapordizing your friendship. Hopefully, in time, they will come around and realize that you did them a favor.
-
My friend might kill himself.. what do I do?
Tell his parents. Now, now, now, now, NOW! If he really objects to that, tell your school's counsellor. They can talk with him and refer him COMPLETELY ANONYMOUSLY! Trust me, don't keep it a secret! Tell his parents, or a counselor now! Don't talk with his girl! You are not a professional! Please, oh please get this information to a higher authority! *I have dealt with attempted suicides several times in the past, and I get paid to deal with it now...trust me.*

Request for hosting a very large file (650 MB)
Well, about 30 people. But nevermind. Filefront is doing a pretty decent job (although I could have gotten double the download speed out of an ftp).

Request for hosting a very large file (650 MB)
Hello everyone. I have been trying to upload a movie for some Tip.Iters here of a King Dag trip, but after waiting 1.5 hours for the thing to upload, the server craps out and I have to start all over again. Does anyone here have a website with enormous amounts of free space I can host this file on for about a week? I will need a private password for the file. Like I said, it can be removed after a week or two. The reason the file is so large is because I used maximum quality and sound. If anyone can help me out in this regard (or tell me how to compress the thing down to 300 or so without losing quality), please PM me. Thanks in advance! Barihawk.

what's a cool way to die?
Peacefully, while I sleep. Or what Sanday said...although your partner might be a little disturbed. Or, of course, dying for my country.
