Yes, it starts playing right away, but it does start downloading into a temp file and plays from there. It doesn't just throw the bits away as it plays them. Loads them into your cache directory so that the second time it does not have to download them again.
Most of the browsers are storing more stuff than I care to think about on my hard drive.
peace and love, don
ps. not a problem for me. Big hard drive and a DSL internet connection.

| Posted 3/22/2002 7:02 PM (GMT -6) | | This is actually Semeia.
I logged on as Iconoclast because I noticed that everyone on this page had a Doc quote as their signature - and I wanted to add Iconoclast's. I'm not sure if the quotes paint a portrait of Doc or simply reveal how weird we all are...
I didn't really have anything else to say, except that I knew Electra was a star - and now there's proof. 
Thanks,
Semeia

Have I overloaded this thread with nebula?
I noticed the first couple of pictures on page one disappeared. We lost the squid. Not good. Should I reduce a couple pics to links?

Sounds like a cool class! Nice link.
I have to learn to do that next.
What do you mean put the mouse over it?
You're last picture was jiggy on my screen.
All these nebulae are sending this thread into oblivian.

| Posted 3/29/2002 3:12 AM (GMT -6) | | Yo. Got a thought. Take a look at all these celestial bodies in their brilliance and immensity. Things like these are ALL OVER the universe. There are "billions and billions" (whatup, Mr. Sagan) of galaxies, some of which may be just like ours.
In the midst of all this expansive beauty, wonder, and possibly LIFE that has been created and witnessed...
God chooses to have dealings with the descendents of a wandering human nomad, making covenant with him...which ultimate culminates in an "incarnation"...
on one patch of land
on one contintent
on one planet
in one solar system
in one galaxy
in one star cluster...
to reconcile the ENTIRE UNIVERSE to Himself.
It's an almost insane idea, isn't it?
Just a thought.

But we only know about our little patch of land. God could be involved elsewhere. Personally, my assumption is that he is. What will be very interesting is if we someday discover life elsewhere - and we discover that they have their own book - and it starts out, "In the beginning God created..."
But my guess is that God likes to try different things. Their book might look quite different from ours.
Thanks,
Semeia

Hmmm..do we "KNOW" what's happened on our little patch of land, eh  For real thought, that could very well could be the case. Do you think God may have incarnated Himself in one of these OTHER possible beings...or SOLELY in the human being, Jesus? If the latter, then are we still in the realm of the insane?
Interested,
PS: Actually, I would not at all be surprised if we were to locate other life out there and discovered that they had some type of religious schema. I think one of the hallmarks of intelligent sentience is asking the fundamental questions of one's origin and place in the world...and ultimate destination. In this, I'd wager other intelligent, sentient life would be no different from us. Why did earliest man seek to bury their dead in elaborate ways again? hmmm...

| Posted 4/1/2002 2:13 PM (GMT -6) | | Hey! Some of the intellectual showed up on the fun thread! Welcome Wings, Meph, and Semeia! In 2001 a Space Odyssey, besides Tapirs, Pleiades, and interstellar medium, there is also the moon Europa.
Irion, R. (2002). Discover. Does life exist elsewhere in our solar system? V. 23, N.5
“Someone at NASA must think so. A great deal of the money the U.S. space agency has spent on sending probes to Mars – starting with the two Viking landers in 1976 – has gone toward trying to figure out if life ever tool hold there. So far, scientists have found no proof there ever was, is now, or eve will be life on the Red Planet.”
“In 1997 NASA launched Cassini, one of the largest and most complex probes ever built, to study Saturn and it’s moons. It will arrive in 26 months. Aboard is a secondary probe, called Huygens, which will parachute through the dense atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan. Although astronomers agree there’s virtually no gaseous oxygen on Titan (the atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and methane) and it probably has lakes of ethane, serious scientists theorize that precursors of life could have arisen there.”
“Titan isn’t the only moon that life seekers are panting over. Based on studies in Antarctica and the Arctic, scientists have begun to speculate that life may exist on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. At – 260 degrees Fahrenheit, Europa’s surface is colder than some people’s version of hell. But al least it seems to have plenty of ice, which astrobiologists believe may be covering up a vast ocean of much warmer water. Water, of course, really gets the astrobiology crowd worked up.”
“Does any of this speculation make sense? …life on earth does not always have all the fussy requirements we think it needs. Discover has previously reported on creatures that thrive in the depths of the ocean in the presence of temperature in excess of 700 degrees Fahrenheit. And geologists are constantly finding new life in bizarre places, such as deep under the surface of Earth’s crust. The resiliency of microbes seems to be far greater than we ever guessed.”
“So if there’s a change that life may exist elsewhere in our own solar system, the obvious next question: What does that suggest about the likelihood of life on other planets in other solar systems?”
“Consider this: A dozen years ago there was no conclusive evidence that any planets existed anywhere outside our solar system. Now we know of more than 70 of them. And in a few years, NASA will begin an extensive search for Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone, and there are billions of galaxies. Imagine how unlikely it is that life does not exist elsewhere. Perhaps the more important question is whether any life exists elsewhere that could be characterized as intelligent” (p 33).
Since the scientists have peered into the universe and not seen God than perhaps when they come across some other life forms they won’t recognize them either. How big a play ground do you think you’d need if you could fly?

| Posted 4/4/2002 4:34 AM (GMT -6) | | Dear Catechumen. While we all know that this website is a Theology website, you can also learn a host of other things. For example, your question about Marquee scrolling. I went to the library and got HTML for Dummies. I found out that I was too dumb for this book. So I went to my computer Keyword Box and typed in "HTML Marquee Codes" and I got a host of things. I printed off the one entitled Marquee Tag Examples. You will see the 2nd item is scrolling. My library PC Guru said to follow the example to the last iota. Good luck and happy scrolling.
