I don't understand why people say we "age" faster or slower. This makes no sense at all. If we could possibly move from 1 point in space to light years away instantly to another point. we would only see things back at earth that many years in the past. If you managed to get 50 light years away instantly, you would see earth as it did 50 years ago, but earth wouldn't even be able to see you. You would have to be at your location for 50 years before earth would begin to see you, and it would be 50 years in the past!!
It's just a matter of how you perceive light, that is all. I don't understand why people equate light to time......... 2 completely different measurements, why does light = time???
That's like saying because i move faster then sound barrier, and things do not sound to me at the same instant it is produced at a further distance away, that i must be traveling through time faster since i hear sound after it is made?? what??!?
I'm an avid PC gamer myself, and have spent most of my life in front of the PC, and yet it still took me 2 nights after work to get GTAIV running fine on my computer. and i just built my computer recently! can play farcry2 maxed out, Grid maxed out, Crysis on fairly high settings. blah blah.
I had every bug that everyone else had in GTA IV. Sound muffled, graphics problems with not being able to see anything but lights. etc. But i finally got it all working after completely cleaning drivers out and installing the latest beta drivers, etc.
There is no way anyone in my family, the ones who are big console fans would have ever gotten this game working. and sad thing is.. a lot of games i buy lately are difficult to get working properly too.. Just ridiculous the amount of effort it takes, and normally by the time i do get in and running, I'm too frustrated to enjoy the game. And yet i live on the PC!!
These company's seriously need to step it up and start releasing games that you can actually play before adding more features, etc. Or else they will continue to loose pc gamers to the console crowd. and being a major pc guy myself it saddens me to see less and less pc guys at all anymore. I don't know hardly anyone in real life anymore that is into pc games like i am...
PS. Why is it when i "Preview" this post it combines my paragraphs into one mess??
Just because someone says that we can use snake venom to provide a cure for some disease doesn't mean that going out and getting bit by rattle snakes is good for you!

There was also Bill Gates himself that once said... "computers will never need more than 640K of RAM"
