    Quote from RD

    the choppers rotors go behind the skyscraper and the chopper goes in front, the airplane text is unreadable Bigger font for all textplz and the scrollbar is a bit difficult

    Hmm, it seems that way, but its just the low contrast which make it look like it disappeared... I'll look into it

    Are you talking about the fonts on the nav or in the content areas? or both?

    Thanks

    Hey guys!

    Almost done with my new site...

    http://www.jonmdesign.net/design/newcity/

    no preloader yet and no content, working on that stuff now

    Please give me some feed back so I can improve on it before I go public with it.

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    Quote from Kosmo

    If the universe expands too large how can it collapse? Where do these theories come from, the clown school?

    It comes from physics

    the ...No was in response to the pudding and other stupid stuff that was said.

    There is empirical evidence to suggest the expanding universe and the Big Bang theory.... String Theory not so much though

    An intresting idea is that the universe will expand so large that it will not have enough energy to hold itself together anymore and will collapse in what is called "The Big Crunch"

    ....No

    Space in the universe is expanding at a accelerating rate, no new energy or mass is being generated as far as we know. Right now it is at something like 80 billions light years in diameter if it is a sphere. It is creating its own space. If we were to generate a universe in a laboratory (which might actually be possible) it would create its own space and not have any affect on our space time continuum.

    Why is it doing this? Good question…

    Like people have mentioned string theory and its more recent counter part M theory provide some of the best answers the most brilliant minds in science can give… here is a brief outline, of the theory, many of this cannot be proven for a while until the technology provides a method…

    Quarks and all other subatomic particles can be broken down into strings… these strings are super super super tiny strings of energy. There are different types, some string are half loops with both ends tied to our universe, some with just one end tied down and some that are closed strings and flow freely through our universe. They are tied down into a 2 dimensional membrane called a p-brane in the 11th dimension. How many of these membranes are there? Perhaps infinite, all contain universes with different, perhaps random, sets of physical laws (many probably don’t even have space)

    The vibrations of these strings denote the characteristics of the sub-atomic particles they create, and particles like the higgs boson and and many other particles are kind of responsible for space (theres a lot of stuff we don't know about this yet).

    That’s a rough abstract… there so much too it and so many different theories…

    So how can we prove this?

    Well in 2008 or so the Large Hadron Collider will be completed at CERN in Europe… It will be the most powerful to date and they hope that it can detect some of necessary components for string theory, like the graviton…

    If they see the graviton for a second, then see it a vanish, the theory is that is left our universe and floats freely through all the other parallel universes that are micrometers away from us at all times…

    Here are some links… I suggest you look into them as they are very interesting…

    or how about 300gb of game data...

    the possibilities are endless

    it will also provide useful for game development, as in backing up data and transferring large amounts of it.

    or how about for movies, super super high quality dvds (porn)

    stupid comp graphics course, such a waste of my time and money..

    but I made this best of it:

    [Blocked Image: http://jonmdesign.net/art/angeldevil/wip06-coloring.jpg]

    I used photoshop...

    images of models and stuff for references, but no direct painting on images...

    Still not done yet… I also have to work on the caption, because it doesn’t read well apparently (do you guys get the dirty joke?)

    let me know what you think...

    Is the shark Korean or something?

    hahah sorry I had too

    But anyways, dogs brains are more developed than a fishes, Im pretty sure they even feel emotions, although not nearly advanced as ours. More over the dog seems to be alive, which is terrible...

    Dogs are like animals friends over here in America, so it horrifying to see that...
