[QUOTE=paul simon;43794612]We might never break it, but we will surely reach it at some point. Be it through science or the death and rebirth of the universe physically slinging our every atom at great speeds.[/QUOTE] it's theoretically impossible to reach light speed due to time dialation. pretty much, the faster you move the slower time flows for you. (you still perceive it as moving the same rate, but everything else is slowed significantly) once you are almost at the speed of light, time slows down to nearly stopped, the reason why you can't break light speed is that when you hit light speed, time completely stops. (which although sounding cool, causes a whole lot of problems. namely being where you started and where you ended up simultaneously, which breaks a few laws of physics.) there are a few other problems with reaching the speed of light (like becoming infinitely massive when you reach it.) but that's basically the gyst of it. i know way too much about this for my own good, and half of it might me wrong for all i know, seeing as we've never tested this stuff. as a reward for reading through that little lecture have a corrupted picture of some army dude.

if there's one thing that creeps me out, it's old plane wrecks [img]http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/185/cache/japanese-airplane-doubilet_18505_600x450.jpg[/img]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/U8Jloyr.jpg[/img] It's pretty sondering seeing them, cause it makes you wonder who flew them, what caused them to end up that way, and if they survived the whole ordeal.

It's an old pre-release screenshot of BF4, the corruption is most likely photoshopped over it because it isn't a user-made render.
Here's an actual corrupt pic, a while back I was on LMAO and this happened to a bunch of pics [t]http://puu.sh/4nTZq[/t] Turns out my gpu was burning :c

On the subject of planes: [QUOTE] As German Gen. Erwin Rommel chased British forces across the North African desert, a stray Royal Air Force fighter crashed in the blistering sands of the Egyptian Sahara on June 28, 1942. The pilot was never heard from again. The damaged Kittyhawk P-40 -- a couple of hundred miles from civilization -- was presumed lost forever...until now. In what experts consider nothing short of a miracle, a Polish oil company worker recently discovered the plane believed to have been flown by missing Flight Sgt. Dennis Copping. And almost 70 years after the accident, it's extraordinarily well-preserved.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/11/world/british-wwii-plane/"]Read the rest here[/URL] [IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120511054127-wwii-fighter-01-horizontal-gallery.jpg[/IMG] it even still had some ammo that was later confiscated [IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120511060019-wwii-fighter-11-horizontal-gallery.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120511054116-wwii-fighter-03-horizontal-gallery.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120511054123-wwii-fighter-02-horizontal-gallery.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120511054112-wwii-fighter-04-horizontal-gallery.jpg[/IMG]

He converted it into a flying yacht to take his family on vacation all over the world. He took his Wife, 4 Children, Secretary and her son, and a photographer from Life Magazine. One night they landed in a bay in the Strait of Tirana in Saudi Arabia. The next morning they came under machine gun fire from locals. The plane was completely perforated and the fuel tanks dumped it's entire load into the water, but somehow managed to not catch fire. The pilot and secretary were wounded when trying to start the aircraft and fly off, but they ran aground on a reef. Everyone on board swam ashore and was captured by the Saudi military. They were thought to be Israeli commandos and were eventually set free by the American Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The Ambassador tried to get the Saudi government to pay for the loss of the aircraft but they refused any responsibility for it. So to this day it lies abandoned in a dried up bed.

even if the new intro looks more refined and has more going on I'll never get used to it, it looks like a motion comic for fuck's sake
[QUOTE=Agent Fedora;43803659]even if the new intro looks more refined and has more going on I'll never get used to it, it looks like a motion comic for fuck's sake[/QUOTE] Aren't all cartoons basically moving comics?
how can a cartoon's animation actually get worse, like did they have to cut the budget?
[QUOTE=vagrant;43803869]how can a cartoon's animation actually get worse, like did they have to cut the budget?[/QUOTE] Efficiency. Easier and more cost effective to do something passable rather then something that's outstanding.
[QUOTE=vagrant;43803869]how can a cartoon's animation actually get worse, like did they have to cut the budget?[/QUOTE] I don't get why they wouldn't spend time, money and effort on it seeing as it is the intro which is at the start of most episodes.
[QUOTE=SeneorGoat;43804316]I don't get why they wouldn't spend time, money and effort on it seeing as it is the intro which is at the start of most episodes.[/QUOTE] Because doing it with computers is faster. The assumption is that nobody will care how ass the quality is when in reality we can all tell how bad it is.

[QUOTE=archival;43804555]I swear if I ever win the lottery there is going to be a ton of old plane/tank wrecks suddenly disappearing from around the world[/QUOTE] That'd be a pretty shitty thing to do. It would be like excavating bodies of historical figures you're fond of. Machines might be soulless but they do have memories. Let the dead ones rest.
but wouldn't it be better to preserve those memories?
Using that logic, every Dark Age burial should be left undisturbed. Turns out we learned a lot from Sutton Hoo, Gokstad, Oseberg, etc...
I'd rather we have detailed replicas of old wrecks (or replicas of the same thing except in a restored condition) as opposed to tampering with the real ones.
[QUOTE=StickyWicket;43806107]Using that logic, every Dark Age burial should be left undisturbed. Turns out we learned a lot from Sutton Hoo, Gokstad, Oseberg, etc...[/QUOTE] I'm talking about historical figures in past few hundred years. We don't need to dig up Rommel's corpse to make sure he wasn't a Neanderthal, and we probably don't need to disturb MLK's remains to check his teeth to find out what his favorite type of candy was. [editline]6th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Zukriuchen;43806067]but wouldn't it be better to preserve those memories?[/QUOTE] detailed photos and descriptions is all you need. It would be a shame to restore it and wipe away the history of it. Unless of course it's something incredibly rare, like a Panzer Panther; something along those lines.
