Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

Gun would be neat too, but I was hoping for something that I can keep.

Funnily enough, I live only about an hour's drive away from the city of Monterey . . .

For "bulk chemical composition", you still don't need to simulate every molecule/atom/particle. Just like when you define graphical elements on a computer, you can simply define a region and its approximate contents--e.g. "this space has a mix of 78% molecular nitrogen, 21% molecular oxygen, 0.4% carbon dioxide, and 44% relative humidity at 20 Celsius and 99.8 kPa". Each molecule does not need to be a separate discrete entity, and for macroscopic chemical reactions, the results can be computed statistically.
-
Oh, just that frames of reference don't have to be perfectly equivalent--there is such a thing as "close enough", even in quantum mechanics.

Given that Rhoda has said that she will try to shrink Catalina's clothes too, I think that something size-change-y is going to happen with her clothes, but given hijinks, they probably still won't fit Catalina very well, and may even be falling off anyway. As for spells cancelling each other, we know that transformations usually overwrite each other, but is sizechange enough of a transformation that it overrules the catgirl transformation?

You guys think you know all about cheese, but you don't know Monterey Jack.

Now I wish that Rhoda was my girlfriend. Of course, that would probably require me to be a girl, so can I have Elliot's "be-any-girl-I-can-envision" spell too? Or at least a spell catalyst with trickle-charging battery and a few nice girly forms in it?

He's come a long way from "inability to draw perspective well" back at the beginning of EGS. She doesn't need subatomic resolution. Without an electron microscope, details smaller than an optical microscope can resolve are meaningless beyond the bulk chemical composition of substances. If Sarah is limited to her own senses (i.e. no magnification at all, just what she can see with her eyes), then a resolution limit of dozens of microns (i.e. 100 times bigger than lightwaves, about the size of a dust speck) will be enough.
-
On the other hand, we don't need it to be zero to calculate accurately to at least eight or nine significant figures--GPS satellites for example, are accurate in the part-per-billion range because we can calculate how much the time and space dilation from Earth, Moon, and Sun affect the radio signal and onboard clocks.
-
The part that makes it more than just "a really cool toy" is that it is, at the moment of casting, a highly accurate snapshot which even includes information that the caster has no way of knowing before casting (e.g. what's inside hidden spaces or otherwise hidden from view). Sarah can pick up a document and read its contents, even if she did not know what the contents were, and what she reads would be an accurate reproduction of the original document. She can also bypass any locks or security measures within the snapshot that might keep her from reading the document. This is what makes it a valuable spying tool.

Yay new people! *hugz*

Yes, these machines (and their programmers) seem to have no comprehension of "no route to host" being a regular thing instead of an anomaly.
-
Apple's reality distortion field is so powerful that it has convinced Microsoft to adopt a similar version naming/numbering scheme, what with the "Windows 10 will be the name of all editions of Windows for the forseeable future" stuff.
-
If what Sarah is doing within the simulation is being reflected in her aura (e.g. Tedd can see something is happening every time she swaps bodies in her mindspace, even if he doesn't know what he's seeing), then it's no wonder that Tedd is confused.
-
Well yes, but it is a good way of dealing with something that you can neither touch nor break into small pieces safely . . .
-
You can always do the Terminator 2 solution and encase the whole thing in a big mass of concrete or whatever.

By American standards, the majority of France is "near Paris". Then again, by American standards, "near" means "anywhere that I can drive to and back in one day". This is the land of hundred-mile-each-way daily commutes, after all . . . They may need extra energy to become vampires for the first time (i.e. to reconfigure themselves to absorb life from people beyond simply digesting flesh and blood as normal food), but subsequently switching in and out of their monster forms may need much less, given that Vampires are generally Awakened before they become Vampires.

Ooh, Civilization. Only three more days until Steam finishes downloading it onto my computer. Yeah, I have a really slow connection--sometimes I am lucky to get one megabit from it.
-
I don't know if it's been established that Rhoda can have more than one thing shrunk at a time.
-
Two frames of reference don't both have to be inertial to be equivalent. Rather, they are equivalent if their accelerations are equal--the acceleration can be any value. For example, the interior of an enclosed capsule accelerating in free space directly away from the center of Earth at 9.8 m/s^2 is equivalent to the interior of an identical capsule sitting on Earth's surface feeling 9.8 m/s^2 of gravitational acceleration.

It sounds like a stereotypical bit of absolutist hyperbole to me. -

What I found the most disturbing was the insinuation that he will not accept a final vote total that goes against him in the election and instead will insist that his defeat could only come about via massive electoral fraud. -
Forgive my ignorance, but in a monospaced font such as most mechanical typewriters, arent all characters (and thus all spaces) spaces equal to the width of the "m"?
-
I thought that we could use a thread for discussing the pronunciation of various names and uncommon vocabulary in EGS. First off, how is "Moperville" supposed to be pronounced? Is it a long or a short "o"?

She'll have plenty of time to play with the spell later--Pandora did ask her to cast it multiple times per hour, after all.
