(I posted this at the other board thinking it was this one...)
But.... Hello Acmlmboard users, I'm a newly registered user here...kinda. You see, I had an account here quite a few years ago (I'm thinking back to 2002) and was a regular here for awhile until about the end of 2004. I can see there's been quite a few changes. Anyway, I thought I'd introduce myself.. My name's Matt. I'm from Illinois, and I work as a fast food shift manager. I am 21 and i live in a nice little apartment in a city called Pekin. I really enjoy meaningful discussions about pretty much anything.... television, philosophy, you name it. Oh by the way I guess I should share that I'm going to audition to be a contestant on Deal or No Deal next month... wish me luck. So, yeah I registered a new account tonight... looking forward to getting to know some people around here. |

Eh oh well. |

That's me! Back in my high school days! Wow and oddly enough some people remember the dreaded Naughtin... I took care of her.  |

One can only imagine how crazy this is going to make security in educational institutions... I mean, think about how it was fifteen years ago as compared to now. With all that's happening, like Columbine, and this... what's next with security?
I'm worried about the safety of my future children. |

I love the concept of time travel. I have even thought about what a time machine would do if I were able to invent one. One that would eliminate the problem of the paradox.... I guess I'll briefly explain it, you might find it interesting. Bear with me this is the first written documentation of my thoughts.
Oh, but with this time machine you could only travel to the past. So let's see. I have a time machine. Now I would have it secured with a "login" feature that would hold information about yourself such as your birth-date, etc. Instead of simply entering the time that you want to go back to, you would have to create "time trips" to save to the, um, hard drive, I guess. So you create a time trip by entering in the day, year, and time that you wish to travel to, then you enter the "mode" that you will be traveling in. You'd also enter in the amount of time that the time trip will last before you return to the present. Here's the interesting part. The three "modes" of time travel: 1. Observation Mode- This would allow the traveler to travel back to any time in the past, including before his date of birth. This will allow him to walk around and view any set of events without any interaction of any kind. It would be the safest form of travel, and would be used solely for entertainment, research, etc. 2. Re-live Mode- This would set the traveler back to any time after his birth date, but with no knowledge of the time trip or the future. It is simply letting the traveler re-live a part of his/her life, although he will not be aware that he is on a time trip. Once the traveler returns to the present, he will remember living the time twice. 3. Past-Alteration Mode- This allows the traveler to re-live a part of his life just like re-live mode only WITH knowledge of the time trip and the future, thus allowing the traveler to modify past events. Upon returning to the present, the traveler would be presented with a "video clip" of the effects that the changes had on the traveler's life and he would be presented with a question like "Save changes? Yes or no?" So anyway, that's what happens when you take a three hour nap in the afternoon and you can't sleep. But I'm glad I explained it somewhere... |

Posted by HyperHacker I thought of that, and that's how I came up with the "Save Changes?" thing. It would warn the traveler that the modified events would destroy the time machine.... That way it wouldn't be able to be done unless someone is stupid enough to choose to save the changes. |

Yeah, I'd love to take a trip back to August of 2000 and redo my high school years.... |

It's my first name and last initial combined in one. I was actually given the nickname "MattL" (pronounced one word) from a few at work. Now everyone there calls me that. |

Okay... 5 actually has no importance to me and those numbers seem to work best with people. If I were to go that direction, I'd go with 11 (Month of my birth) or 18 (day of my birth and my lucky number!) |

Rain and thunderstorms are great, but it seems that they only happen in the middle of the night! It's snow that I hate. December and February we had two mega-blizzards that buried our state in snow... Other states too. One was on Dec. 1st, anyone remember that? I absolutely HATE being stranded in the driveway. |

The road is a scary place sometimes. On August 1st, 2002 I think I cheated death when my friend was stupidly driving 100mph down a gravel road and flipped his Mom's Malibu. The car was totaled. We came out with minor scratches, and the cops said we should be dead. Very scary. I still have the occasional flashback. I've been in about four accidents, none of which were my fault!
That's why I'm a huge stickler for seat belts. I don't let anyone ride with me unless they have it on. |
