This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking. There could be a fixed update interval a few times a day to keep both internets up to date but real time interaction between internets would be impossible, unless we figure a way to transmit data faster than the speed of light. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- <cite>faramir77 posted [p:904486516] in will we be...
