Release date (merged)

[cybrpnk]

hmmm...i'm starting to get a little discourage by how quite it is on the PSN about anything related to WipEout HD...wonder what's going on...

[RJ O'Connell]

Probably the testers just having another multi-race tournament to see who the best player is before releasing HD to the public.

[mangaroo]

the more days that pass, the closer it becomes! thats a fact! right?

[eLhabib]

kind of
on the other hand - the more days that pass without a release date being announced, the longer the wait...

[Norfolk'n'Clue]

Ha! Let's not get into 'release date psycology' - that will truly mess our heads up!

"Paging mr. Brown, paging Mr. Brown. There is a mind emergency in thread 2. Please attend immediately."

[loxy]

that they release it when it will seem perfect to them ...after such delays,worst which could arrive it is that it 's not as high as our requirements/waits...

[Wip3ou7]

Bah. I've just decided to expect it for around christmas time... keep my hopes realistic.

[cybrpnk]

i'm prepared for whatever...got to finish writing up my thesis by this friday which is keeping me busy...joy *note sarcasm*

going off topic for a little bit if you may permit me *looks towards lances way*

[ random question

anyone know anything about materials with variable densities???

if so, how do you change the densities??? electric current???

read something about eutectic mixtures in materials...kinda intriguing...please pm me ]

back to the topic...I have a feeling there will be a mention after MGS 4 is released...after all, it is a Sony only product too, and they would want to stagger their releases I reckon, to capture maximum exposure to the market...

[Nadia Elenova]

Snake will make this wait a bit more bearable, but if they are going to hold the WoHD release much longer I will appreciate a demo for day 12 or something.

[KIGO1987]

Hmmm.

Materials with variable densities could possibly include an item with the added factor of humidity. If the humdity percentage of the material changes it could possible effect the density of the material over time. You probaly should think about that a little cause i was just thinking about the effect of wood how it expanses and contracts during the sessions due to the effect of exterior events like temperature and humdity.

maybe I didn't make it clear enough...I was thinking more materials that could change densities like super-quick...like maybe send an electric charge through the sucker and 'voila'...new density...

*runs from lance*

[Wip3ou7]

Hmmm you may want to be a little more specific... technically what you are asking for from what I can tell is a material that can change density while retaining its volume... there is no such material as it would have to be able to alter its total mass to become more dense while keeping it's volumetric measure constant. A sponge is a good example of something with variable density, you can squeeze it and make it more dense, but will reduce its dimensions. Other than that there are gasses, you can compress them to increase density, but you would have to add more gas to keep the over all volume the same. What is this for?

[Sugar_from_OTW]

wouldn't a sponge decrease in density when you squeese it, as water has a higher density than the sponge material?

I wonder if the question is about 'current density' (which changes with the magnetic field), rather than 'density'.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Conservation of mass - The mass of a closed system will remain constant.

It is impossible to change the density of a system without altering its mass or volume. The act of wetting a sponge may increase the density of the system, but you are adding the mass of the water to it.

The only time this does not apply is when special relativity is taken into account when looking at bound systems in nuclear physics, where the mass of a bound nucleon system will be less than the sum of the masses of its individual parts if they were separate.

[eLhabib]

You guys are freaking me out with this! Here's me hoping for some new release info, jumping in and getting lost in a discussion I don't understand a word of! I hope the density of the PSN Store changes rather soon, producing a certain object which I will then use to change the density of my wallet!

[Asayyeah]

Lmao Martin

[Mano]

well.. water is really close to what you guys are describing, however i doesnt change density fast, its very slow, when it freezes its very hard but less dense (the reason why it floats), when ice melts water is denser

[KIGO1987]

Oh dear, has'nt the topic tangent off really bad. lol lowering the density of my wallet Hopefully it might appear on the PSN at weeks end.

[taqili]

if it really is July 15th then I will be sad. burnout update comes out then, and one of the two should hold me over until the other comes out, not both coming out the same time !

[Wip3ou7]

taqili how dare you put burnout anywhere near WipEout on the priorities list
