Description Mike Urbanski 2006-10-14 05:12:18 UTC
Desired Results:  Each 24-hour Earth day could optionally encapsulate an 8-12 hour period existing outside of the "normal" space-time continuum.

To what end:  The doing of things and stuff, but mostly things.  

Affected modules:  libgrandunifiedtheory, libgrandunifiedtheory-sharp, gnuchess.

Note:  This could probably be implemented as a plugin.

I look forward to seeing this feature in future releases.  Thank you for reading the interweb!

P.S.  I would also like a pony and a girlfriend if possible.  
P.P.S.  Not necessarily in that order.

Thanks for your input! We'll get right on this! Remember to se the priority and severity levels on your bugs please.
Comment 2 Mike Urbanski 2006-10-14 20:32:08 UTC
Might have to wait until the new MVC code is in to fully address this, but we could start on the back-end "relatively" quickly.
Comment 3 Ruben Vermeersch 2006-10-14 21:48:09 UTC
Hypothetically this could be resolved by moving faster than the speed of light...
Comment 4 Aaron Bockover 2006-10-14 22:37:06 UTC
Mike: that's true, this probably should have the target milestone for post model. Setting that now. I'd like to see development of the back-end start soon however - it can parallel regular development that's not blocking on the new model.

Ruben: in theory, that'd be excellent, but I think there's currently another bug (I'll have to find it) open that's blocking the resolve of this using faster-than-light development techniques.
Comment 5 Mike Urbanski 2006-10-14 23:06:24 UTC
Ruben:  The libgrandunifiedtheory maintainers are averse to this.  Whenever it is suggested their only response is: "modifying libgeneralrelativity is a bitch."  

Personally, I question their competence as libgrandunifiedtheory suffers from many  such defects.  Take for example the concurrency issues found in its libuniverse sugar wrappers (especially concerning electromagnetism and gravitation.)  Just try it for yourself, deadlocks every time. Jeesh.

P.S. Don't even bother asking the libstringtheory guys about this.  Unless you want to spend your time reading paper after paper about theory.  Seriously, 35 years and they're produced 18 lines of code.

Mike, I am not sure how to help you with all this unified theory business, but hopefully this will make you feel a bit better.
Comment 7 Mike Urbanski 2006-10-14 23:53:40 UTC
Huzzah!  Thanks Brandon, now I'm going to have to go out and buy that damn thing.
Comment 8 Mike Urbanski 2006-10-15 00:02:14 UTC
SERIOUSLY NOT COOL!

You could help libgrandunifiedtheory upstream implement teleparallelism to fix those pesky bugs.

$25.24!  I think my love only extends to $10.59 USD.  How about this one?
Comment 13 Aaron Bockover 2006-11-21 20:52:07 UTC
Upon further investigation, this actually seems to be a serious flaw in Cowbell's design. Reassigning to brad.
Comment 14 Brad Taylor 2006-11-27 00:56:48 UTC
We might be able to rectify this by initializing libquantum-cil with entangled quantum Ponytons and distoring space time with resultant Qubits.

In fact, this might speed up the song guessing algorithm, since the track name is guaranteed to be correct in at least one universe.  The one downer is that we'll have to link into QT libraries, since Gnome scientists have yet to invent Gubits.

However, I think we need to do a bit more research into the particular details.  Mike, I recommend intesive study of the canonical space-time texts: "Star Trek IV" and the "Back to the Future" series.
Comment 15 André Klapper 2008-06-09 18:25:51 UTC
any process here, guys? this has also become a blocker for me as my private real-life implementation finally compiles flawlessly.

btw, why is this NEEDINFO? please only NEEDINFO against the reporter. tia.
Comment 16 Brad Taylor 2008-06-09 18:38:48 UTC
Why is this still in Cowbell's tracker?  And why am I wearing pants?  It must be the ponies!
