Quote fromI have a GREAT idea.
Make gold worth something NOW.
Lets get this thing on the right track for diablo 3.
Maybe start putting uniques and set items up for sale from rare vendors.
Make them VERY expensive. For hell level uniques make them worth like....5 million gold or so? Maybe more..I think that would be REALLLY cool. Think about it, you would approach the game COMPLETELY different.
That's a hefty order...but it might just pull me out of retirement

Ha, I wish there were bases in Canada I could go to!

I think things may have changed. Fr'instance my dad (who was in active duty years ago) was surprised that I even had a choice of what job I wanted.
I've always liked the idea of living in the pacific northwest. I'm more of a mountain/forest person than ocean (too many things that can kill and devour me).
All I know is I wanna get far, far away from Indiana.

So I'm wondering what states you guys have been to (or live in) that you really like, and why. Any input on the overseas locations would be appreciated too.
Here are my options.

Washington and Germany are my top choices for each as of now.

Sure there are issues for dueling and trading games, but 4 is a good number for actually playing the game.

The speed of light in a vacuum is what we mean by the speed of light, c. It's just understood. Interestingly, scientists have managed to make light slow to the speed of a bicycle by passing it through a substance at temperatures just above 0 Kelvin.
Anyways, of course we can't be sure that the theory is absolutely correct, but just remember that all it takes for a scientific theory to require revision is one piece of experimental evidence suggesting it's wrong. Since general relativity's inception in the 1910s, it has predicted experimental outcomes to remarkable accuracy consistently. The first confirmation of the theory came when it accurately predicted the degree that distant starlight bent around the sun due to gravity.

"When sitting at rest in the laboratory, muons disintegrate by a process akin to radioactive decay, in an average of about two millionths of a second. This disintegration is an experimental fact supported by an enormous amount of evidence. It's as if the muon lives its life with a gun to its head; when it reaches two millionths of a second in age, it pulls the trigger and explodes apart into electrons and neutrinos. But if these muons are not sitting at rest in the lab and instead are traveling through a particle accelerator that boosts them to just shy of light-speed, their average life expectancy as measured by scientists in the lab increases dramatically. This really happens. At 667 million miles per hour (about 99.5 percent of light speed), the muon lifetime is seen to increase by a factor of about ten. The explanation, according to special relativity, is that "wristwatches" worn by the muons tick much more slowly than the clocks in the lab, so long after the lab clocks say that the muons should have pulled their triggers and exploded, the watches on the fast-moving muons have yet to reach doom time."

It's time dilation. With relativity, Einstein discovered that there is no absolute time. Every observer has their own clock that applies only to them.
It has been experimentally verified that clocks running in a gravity field or traveling quickly run more slowly relative to non-moving clocks/ clocks further from the gravity. Yes, clocks on planes run slowly relative to clocks on the ground. It's just by such a tiny amount that we don't really notice it.
Einstein said that all objects move through spacetime (three spatial dimensions + time) at the speed of light. Therefore, most of our motion through spacetime is always dedicated to time. The more quickly you travel through space, the less you can travel through time since you're limited to the speed of light for all four dimensions. If you travel at 99% the speed of light, you're barely dedicating anything to travel through time. People on earth would view your clock as running very, very slowly.
I hope I managed to make that mess^ make sense lol...
Edit: In other words this

Good point. I must have been out of the Diablo loop for longer than I thought.

Say you travel to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our solar system at about 4 light years away. You take a little over 8 years to go there and back, traveling at 99% the speed of light. The Earth you would come back to wouldn't be Earth 8 years after you left it. It would be decades in the future, thanks to relativity.

2. Read books.
3. Spend seven minutes deciding which char to try.
4. Spend twelve minutes coming up with a name.
5. Get to level ~15.
6. Realize I screwed up something.
7. Spend four minutes debating whether to restart.
8. Decide to try different character.
9. Repeat from step 3 until all chars have been tried.
10. ????
11. PROFIT!

I was just quoting Vader lol....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p4T7_XI7WM
The problem with physics now is that they're studying things so ridiculously complex that us non-geniuses have to take it on faith that they know what they're doing. Newtonian physics could be understood for the most part by a high school student. Even relativity isn't that hard to grasp. But quantum mechanics and string theory are just....ridiculous!
Have you heard of the double slit experiment? It's nuts.

The ending is a bit disingenuous. Observation fundamentally changes the experiment, because you have to "hit" the electrons with something else to observe them, much the way that we only see things because they are being struck with photons which are gathered by our eyes.

I find your lack of faith disturbing...Though actually, you're right. Godel proved that we can't prove all true statements, even when dealing with mathematics. Craziness.

That is kind of interesting. Why do we think we're even capable of understanding life, the universe, and everything? We don't even have women figured out yet.
I don't even find the idea of immortality attractive. I think our relatively short-lived lives are what give us ambition. Can you imagine how different society and culture would be if we lived to 1000 instead of 75ish? Think of all the implications.
