the flow of time is ALWAYS linear (going forward) just not constant (relativity) Also, time just changes noticably around large gravitational wells (balck holes) or at fast speeds...And for all practical purposes, time exists, as we are temporal creatures...not much you can do about that:P
well it is provable if not in a practical way...if it IS only matter that is expanding,, then you can send a lightwave back to yourself at a certain wavelength, it should be smaller when it comes back (shorter wavelength, smaller amplitude)...at least one would think so, and youd have to recieve the lightwave a years after you sent it for it to be noticeable in any way:P
i think you basically got it...say our pond constant was 1m/sec/cm (kinda fast, but bear with me here:P) the ant, ant2, that started next to your base reference ant is now a cm away so is moving at 1m/sec away from you, at that instant. ant3 that was on the other side of the dropped stone is now, say 5 cm away from your reference ant, is moving away from your ref ant at about 5m/sec at that instant
however your analogy is quite inadequate, tho i hope i could shed some light on this issue for you:)
that is entirely possible, but its a non-debatable issue and is basically all conjecture since we cant, by definition observe outside the universe as the universe is 'everything' (same with speculating over what it was like before the Big Bang, as time started at the Big Bang)
and you think they have any right to protest this even in a peaceful manner without fear of being clubbed, gassed or imprisoned? the only reason cencorship 'works' there is because they people have no choice and are basically mind-slaves to the government (not all, just most)
jeeeez... cant you tell sarcasm when its staring you in the face? (and no, i didnt post that msg, but its obvious that its sarcasm...most/. folks are smart, freethinking people and wouldnt honestly think that way)

i'd sit in physics and calc classes and write and play TI-85 games. I did a pixel by pixxel drawing of the cover of Type O Negative's album Bloody Kisses (the hot lesbian pic;] ) I remember playing Tetris w/ my friend Jay via the TI-Link and lotsa those cool asm games:) check out www.ticalc.org for like THE hugest ti calculator game repository:)
"...i can install linux too! even though it took me an hour and a half and that was WITH redhat support."
well theres one more journalist that has installed Linux...at least we're getting more supporters in the media, even if they seem kinda on the fence as to their enjoyment of it (do they get it why so many ppl like linux? prob not...oh well)
IS it slowly growing into that? Unlikely (tho ya never know;). But i really think of the Net less of a work tool and more as a communication tool. I talk to my parents thru it and keep in contact w/ my friends w/ it. Its also a GREAT way to join programming projects:)
is it just me ir did anyone else see STAR WARS WINDOWS when they 1st saw this story?:P i had to reread it to see STAR WARS WIDOWS...i think we're all too obsessed with Windows (or rather its downfall;) )
I LOVE AMERICA. U...S...A...ALL THE WAY. I TRUST THE NSA. I TRUST MY GOVERNMENT TO TELL ME WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT ISN'T. I TRUST THEM ENOUGH TO GIVE THEM ALL MY NUKES, RAILGUNS AND VARIOUS LASER-BASED DEFENCE SYSTEMS IN MY NEVADA COMPOUND. YAY CAPITALISM.
totally...they take away the right to keep firearms and then the gov't decides to become very corrupt (its on its way there), and the ppl cant defend themselves. And i dont care what you say, a well-placed shot from a.375 can take down a fighter plane. beware enslavement and protect yourselves!
looks like the 1st part of the review was generated by reading the packaging (what apps are bundled etc). The rest is a pretty bland and dry review...nothing new.
lucas has said often that he didnt like all this hype thats surrounded Episode I, but he couldnt really control it, cause it just got out of his hands and the media etc took over as the hype machine
