Don't want to read all the posts, here's what we have so far: 1. Video games don't make me violent, and if you say otherwise, I'LL KILL YOU! See? I'm using irony! Ha ha ha! It's fun to have fun! 2. This study is stupid. I play violent games all the time and I've never hurt anyone. Therefore, everything that applies to me must apply to the other 6 billion people on this planet! 3. Doom? Wolfenstein? No wonder they turned violent! Because they're old games! Get it? I'm clever! 4. Well, of COURSE violent games will make people violent for a short period of time. How OBSERVANT of the psychologists to figure that out. And LOOK, they figured out that video games make your grades slip. WOW! Look, I'm being sarcastic! Everyone loves sarcasm! 5. 195th post! 6. Look at me! I did a "summary of all the other posts" post! Aren't I novel?
How long will it take before someone hacks a boot loader onto this thing? If I can't dual-boot into Linux on this thing, it's really not worth my money.
Before Sony really begins enforcing this rule: Character for Sale! High-level Ranger, character name is "Aradune". Comes with some weird-looking green armor, but I could probably get you some banded if you prefer that look. Character also has a cool flaming sword, which more than makes up for the tacky armor. Also, tonight only, I will throw in a free BONUS CHARACTER with the winning bid. This is a Priest I started a few weeks ago, but I tired of him after a few levels. Name is Wally of Discord; but I usually go by his surname when RP'ing. He has a few decent items, including a PUNCH CARD redeemable for 5 FREE TRIPS on the boat. Act now, this auction will be hot! Bidding starts at $1.

Wormholes? Maybe.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as Slashdot and as timeless as Natalie Portman. It is the middle ground between hot grits and first post, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of Hemos's fears and the summit of his Linux knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination, where an abstract concept like k-space can post replies. It is an area which we call... The Brillouin Zone. ...My god, I should be shot for that. The nick distracted me.
Your clock question is very similar to the "twins paradox", a famous thought experiment. If the train stops and you two compare times, both clocks will be running at the same speed now, but yours will show that more time has passed. This is valid because the train changes inertial reference frames during the trip (accelerating, stopping, turning around and heading back to you to compare clocks). Because the train changes frames, your situations are not symmetric or interchangeable. It's a little confusing but, in a nutshell, his clock will be ahead. To answer your spacecraft question: relativistically, velocities do not simply "add up", i.e..75c +.75c != 1.5c. This approximation works at slower speeds, but falls apart near the speed of light. What does add is the rapidity, the inverse hyperbolic tangent of v/c. Using this math, one ship will see the other one going at.96c.

Hahahahaha Stupid ICQ bot.
Beer I agree.

Especially the bearded variety.

They begin flooding Pinkerton with calls, clamoring for "First Snitch!" Or, when they report Natalie Portman for antisocial grits-pouring behavior.
"Ha Ha" -- Nelson Muntz I've seen that one 4 times so far.
