"The
major problem [with time travel] is simply one of grammar, and the main work to
consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook
of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe
something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by
time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed
differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of
your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the
further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting
conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the
intention of becoming your own mother or father."
From: cross-project-issues-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:cross-project-issues-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Smith, Randy D Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 12:56 PM To: Cross project issues Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] are we doing the "Callisto Time Warp"? Anyone else notice the top item in
the Eclipse News section of the main Eclipse.org web
page? “ECLIPSE COMMUNITY DELIVERS ON
SCHEDULE…” “The Eclipse Foundation today
announced the release of 10 Eclipse open source
projects.” At least there’s not a *link* to the download yet, but… isn’t this
jumping the gun a bit? The countdown timer still correctly shows the “In 4 Days”
proclamation of a *future*
release. This makes me a bit nervous… someone
tells me this is the correct way to advertise (in advance) Callisto if I’m being
overly cautious! --
