The thing that I don't understand about how planes on a treadmill works is this... What makes a plane take off? Is it the simple fact that the wheels are moving? No. Is it the simple fact that the engines/propellers are running. No. What makes a plane take off is the amount of air running over the w...

...which is why I asked what the function accepts and what it returns. That would be most helpful. Otherwise, I'm guessing.

It appears that we're all slapping each other in the face for absolutely no reason. It also appears that we haven't formed a common ground for what the term \"evolution\" means within this discussion? Are we all aware that there are many different theories and beliefs within the \"evo...

This bold part is the confusing part: return rotator(X + RandY * CurrentSpread * Y + RandZ * CurrentSpread * Z); I can't tell where the X, Y, and Z values separate, or specifically, what separates them? By my logic it is simply multiplying it all into one big number. It depends on what type the rot...

And rightly so, since Moses grew up in Egypt into a high position, and saw and learned about it.

Both are screwed?

Might I add that using cross references in the bible to figure out scripture (in this case, to see what was meant by a \"day\") is not watering it down. If it is, then Jesus was guilty of watering it down when he quoted from it and used it as reference (ironically to refute the truth) agai...

No, it will never be here to stay, only in little bursts now and then. Why? Marriage is for heterosexuals. It is the foundation of a family, which homosexuals can't have and shouldn't be able to raise families. Homosexual couples that adopt children sicken me just as much as heterosexual people tha...

Oh, so we're going back on topic now? :) It matters because some of (read, not all) hard-core Christian creationists will tell you that the entire physical universe (or at least, the earth and its creation) was created in a literal 6 human (24 hour) days. In some instances, going against or even thi...

I see. And, in your opinion, the pope should be recognized as a religious authority figure for a Christian?

Recognize?

Double whammy

I think we've strayed from the topic. Instead of trying to fling scriptures back and forth on five different things, can we maybe stick to one thing? I know it's hard when it comes to religion and scripture, as multiple scriptures and doctrine need to be explained, but I don't see the point of the d...

I think it should be noted that Jesus' name is also unknown as to its original pronunciation yet many people don't have any problems using Jesus to identity their savior by name. The same holds true for many modern-day names among different languages (i.e. The name John may be interpreted or spoken ...

For what it's worth, Moses was also the author of Psalm 90:1-4 which states \"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.\" KJV It appears that God inspired Moses to speak of the seven-thousand-year-long creative period as \"day...

Seems like a newer 285gtx (or even a 275gtx) would be much better price wise, and give you more graphics power....

Why do you think this would be?

Sniper

I think the case I bought is probably on the border of \"pushing\" it with lights, for me. I don't mind a few here and there...and those with a ton of lights to showcase the hardware have their place too.

Ok. I did it. I pulled the trigger. ;D I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Sniper

Ok. I updated the wishlist with that new mobo. I also upped the 9800 GTX+ count to 3 (heheheh). I just noticed now that I'll need a different case since that fragbox case would only hold two 9800's.

I'd really like a case I can easily transport, as this is a lan box.

I am not claiming that this is the best rig config in the world. I'd just like some feedback about this it to help me see if there are any red flags that I may be missing.

I vote Steve Jablonksy. His score for \"The Island\" was amazing. You'll also recognize his work from \"Transformers.\" But I think his score from \"The Island\" sounds more \"Descent\" than his Transformer pieces.
