Time Machine: Are We Being Ripped Off?

For those who use the Time Machine feature on Leopard: don't you feel ripped off? I mean, the thing about a TIme Machine is to go back and forward in time. So far, Time Machine only looks back in time.

Maybe there will be a forward feature in 10.5.4? :confused:

rofl, :D

#502105

why would you need a forward feature.

you never created the document yet.

Oh, but then you wouldn't need to create it. Anytime you want something done, just use the time machine to restore to a time where the job's already done. Real timesaver, if you ask me. :P

KAW, you're missing the point!

Say I have an english paper due in tomorrow morning, I can go forward, put it on my USB, and do it at my leasure afterwards!

#502108

I see... interesting.

What if you move so forwards in time that you find the end of the universe itself?

HYPERCUBE!

cube2: Hypercube, good movie

#502112

A bit off-topic but has anyone seen Cube 3 aka Cube Zero? I still haven't been able to find a copy of it any where.

#502114

Go to your movies folder and scroll forward until you see it.

^^ roflmao...:D:D

Classsic.

You can go into the future and grab an assignment due tomorrow and won't have to actually do it for years.

#502130

kaw, You're Missing The Point!

Say I Have An English Paper Due In Tomorrow Morning, I Can Go Forward, Put It On My Usb, And Do It At My Leasure Afterwards!

Qft

Somebody has too much time on their hand. :P

Impossible . . . If you miss the deadline, then ur never gunna complete it? therefore its actually impossible to go forward in time and pick summit up that wouldn't have been completed in the first place. Cus if you aint gunna do it, and expect to go forward in time to grab it the day before . . . it just won't work.

My head hurts.

#502137

My head hurts.

Why? Because we're questioning Apple's ability to create a complete product?

Lol, no; because your thinking of ideas of how the going into the "future" will help you in the long term, and yet the ideas you a coming up with are inconceivable even if going into the future was possible.

#502172

No, no, you're not seeing it!

You have something due in tomorrow, right?

So you go into the future, grab it, and hand it in. That night, you start writing it at your leisure!

#502173

No, no, you're not seeing it!

Yeah, but if you start doing it and then go forward in time to grab it and use the finished product, then your not going to finish the product in the present time because you went forward in time to collect it. Therefore there isn't anything in the future to collect.

#502179

there is no way to go forward in time. it has not been created yet.

#502187

Lol, no; because your thinking of ideas of how the going into the "future" will help you in the long term, and yet the ideas you a coming up with are inconceivable even if going into the future was possible.

You're very pessimistic. :(

according to Einstein you can, you just have to fly really, really, far; really really really fast.

One consequence of Einstein's theory is that a clock in motion will always appear to run slowly compared with one at rest (and since all motion is relative the clock at rest will appear to go slowly from the vantage of the one moving).

This leads to the famous "twin paradox" in which one twin is rocketed at high speed across the galaxy and back home. Even at a velocity close to the speed of light, the journey would take tens of thousands of years from the vantage point of Earth, but because of his high relative motion the astronaut would age more slowly than he or she would than on Earth, and would return home only a few years older. His twin would be long dead.

Sorry, guys, I don't think this is gonna happen.

You see, I e-mailed apple, and they sent me the new beta.

I had a test today, so I made a mental note to write down the questions, and then saved it, got them this morning, and aced my test.

Pity then, the time police came down on apple R&D, shut down the project.

#502201
