We're not comparing the game the sims directly to real life. we're just imagining the concepts that are present within the sims in real life. quite fun.And the person who posted about no respawning points... that really cracked me up

Heh, I've actually thought about something quite similar to what you seem to have been thinking about.Actually it's a bit different.. The way you seem to be picturing it someone, something, or some people (or some things, I suppose =p) are actually controlling you. I sort of changed it, as the thing that I used to think about is us being a part of another person's dream. So we're being controlled by a person's subconcious. He/she/it has some sort of choice as to what happens, in a general fashion, but it's also out of control of the person controlling.And then, if the idea I have is true, that would mean that the person dreaming us probably lives in another society and/or population. What about that? Is he living in someone else's dream as well? The subconcious of someone who is the sobconcious of someone else... Weird. Yet, in a way, quite cool. I'm loving this.And then what happens when the person wakes up? I always imaged, as a kid, that when the person is awake we are asleep. But then, what about the person he's being dreamed by? And what about us, compared to that person?Kind of a scary thought, isn't it? I <3 infinite possibilities... Hehe.

So, the middle school that I went to has been having its field/blacktop redone for like a kazillion years, and it's finally done!! Well, not technically, so we were actually trespassing... but everything is basically done. So we went to the baseball field and played some baseball yesterday. It's cool, because the middle school is like in between all of my friends' and my houses, so it's really easy to get to.So we got our first "big boy" pick-up game in the park. Just like all those movies and stuff. And I broke my bat. He he, everyone always asks if I broke it swinging at the ball, or like hitting someone. Yes, it was while I was at bat, and if the bat didn't break that would have been a game-changing hit... oh well.So my team lost, but we had a lot of fun anyway. It was my first real pickup game, and we're probably going to have many many more. Have any of you ever played pickup games like these in a park or something near you? Do you do them regularly?We had to modify the rules of baseball a bit, as it was only a 4 vs. 4. Which makes left field a very hard position to play. Anyone have any tips for 4 vs. 4 baseball rules?I'm so exited about playing again...

We should get bicept implants, too.

It depends on what your site needs. If you don't need PHP, don't use it. IF you do, however, you have to use it. But don't use PHP where you don't need it, as it can slow things down unnecessarily. And other stuff. <_<I usually use XHTML/CSS/someJavascript/PHP/MySQL as necessary.

That's quite a big number. I thought you were talking about the animal-mole as well, but I think that I have heard of this kind of mole as well. Quite a big number, as I just said....

Yeah, I learned about this earlier in the school year in my Marine Science class. Quite interesting. I wouldn't say that... In fact, I'd say quite the opposite! We know hardly anything at all about Outer Space, we just have unproven theories that should be true if so and so is true, which is only true if so and so is true. There's no way we can actually find out, which is not the case for Oceans as they are close to being in our grasp.

As long as cooling is not a problem, I believe it actually uses a lot less energy than rebooting constantly.

Pennies are worthless. It should be illegal to charge anything that isn't on the dollar, the fifty, or the seventy five. No $0.99 stuff. Then no more pennies will be needed :)But yeah, I say be gone with pennies. Nickles are necessary, though. As are dimes. Why don't they just change them all into smaller coins, and make them all more profiteable than the cost to make.

Canada's hellllla cool, dude!!! I'm an American, and I love Canada. What's up with people saying that Canda sucks and stuff like that, it's so untrue. Plus, I love Canadian accents/ways_of_talking. I wish that I could talk that way... It's so cool. haha. =p

Sadly, not the 49'ers. =(

I've read 2 of the books. Quite good. Very funny stuff

I have glasses, but I REALLY want contacts for sports and stuff.

I noticed that you said you didn't know what video card you were going to choose. I'd highly recommend Nvidia for a gaming video card. They're quite good and powerful.

I think that the liklihood of there NOT being living organisms SOMEWHERE in our virtually infinite amount of mass all plunked around throughout space is almost as big as a number approaching infinitely small. Think about it. There's 1 planet out of 9 in our solar system that we know supports life. What about the millions, billions, trillians, etc etc solar systems in this galaxy alone? I'd be surprised if there was no life other than us in the Milky Way. But then look at the thousands, millions, etc etc of galaxies, each with as large an amount of solar systems within it as the milky way. Wow. Think about it. How could there NOT be any more organisms than that which lives on Earth? That wouldn't get you very far at all. The suns rays aren't even visable far past Jupiter, or something like that. If you're talking about universe exploration, solar isn't really a good way to go...

Heh. Some War on Terror. It's all BS...

I used to use pandora all the time. But it makes FF take up like 100 megs of memory, and started slowing down my computer, so now I use iTunes. =PI DL'd all the songs that I listened to on pandora, though

See http://blog.dictionary.com/ So the longest ENGLISH word is either supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, or if you are counting the names of diseases, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. If you count places in the world, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is in Wales. There is a 1,913 letter long chemical compound. It all depends on your perspective...

The one when you hit the thing with the hammer, then the lights go up and ring the bell. The person running it RIGS it, and I'm not even joking. A small 7th grade girl was able to hit the bell when this huge 40 year old couldn't get it half way up.

Tension is growing between the United States and EVERYBODY!!! WWIII is definitely coming, if not already started in Iraq =p

What kind of fishing are you doing? Ocean/bay fishing (big ocean fish like bass), or river fishing (trout and such)?I've done some river fishing on the American river in CA and other rivers around Tahoe and elsewhere. It's fun. I'm not very experienced, but I go with my dad once and a while when we get to good rivers.

I didn't have any AP classes last year, but hopefully I will next year =P But, back on topic, I haven't recieved any test results back from last year yet, so it is unlikely that the AP test results have come in, if I would have taken an AP class.

I'd have to agree. It's impossible to measure the price of progress until you've already made the progress, and the price is evident! Which, actually, is a bit different than what harad said. It's possible to measure the price of progress, but only possible once the progress has already been achieved, which means that finding the price of progress is useless except in studying past experiences where we've had to pay a price for progress, and we noticed that the price was not really worth it after (learning from history). Hope that makes sense.

How will you find it if you lose it? You won't be able to call it and listen for a ring if it simply says into your ear in a non-deafening way "Incoming call from..."Interersting Idea though. Not very feasable, however.The software to do that would not be able to be run on such a small device, most likely. Assuming we are even able to make the software, that is... We surely wouldn't be able to make it very WELL in today's world.Not to mention that it would be hard to add phone numbers and people's names into it without being able to see it. The human race is quite visual =p
