Beaming vs Time Travel

Also, there were like 22 minutes between your posts. Your dola skills suck.

Ah, you could've set a good example by dola-ing since your edit was only 2 minutes later. Then again if you had time travel, you could dola before you post your first post.

No, because you would already have the money now and you don't. Traveling into the past changes nothing because it has already happened.

If it was widespread technology, then I'd go with Beaming.

If it was just something for me, then I want Time Travel.

Then I travel ahead in time and record every sporting event result. Then back to present and get ready to bet. After I accumulate my wealth from being the luckiest man alive *wink*. I travel ahead and buy a beaming device and travel back. Now I can do it all.
And how come no one told me we could be invisible? That would be better then beaming.

Dolaing wouldn't have fixed the typo.

Personally I already believe there are wormholes, so the beaming choice lost most of its appeal. I would like to time travel to the old west and meet some of the most interesting outlaws, including Pumpy Villa.

Unlike Pancho, Pumpy Villa didn’t need any of his men to satisfy a saloon full of girls. Although many of you haven’t heard of him or of his desire to make all people happy as long as they were women, after his life many scientific studies where conducted. The results showed Pumpy Villa went blind from Glaucoma, a build up of pressure of bodily fluids, above the waist, specifically located in the eye and damages the optic nerve. Pumpy Villa’s long life after becoming blind is why the rumor "there is a link between masturbating and blindness" is so wide spread today. He was very creative and didn’t need a blind sensing stick to navigate through the halls in the bordello.

It would have been awesome to be around him before he went blind, afterwards there is a high likelihood it would have been painful.

But then you'd have Samuel L. Jackson hunting your sorry ass!

Yes, they deserved to die, and he hopes they burn in hell!

No thanks.

Invisibility is not better than beaming. Transportation issues aside, ever try and have sex while invisible? Ain't happenin, sally.

[MikeVic]

According to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, you can have sex while invisible.

[Desnudo]

I need a better movie than that for confirmation

[MikeVic]

The graphic novel, not movie. I haven't seen the movie.

Minus that part that would be a great power to have. Imagine the mischief I could get in before I settled down to raise to families on the other side of the world from each other.

[Coffee Warlord]

Like it's been said...time travel to the far future where all the other spiffy techs exist, take them with you, go back in time and make some money, and live your life as the Doctor. Win win.

[gkb]

Definitely time travel. Maybe go back in time, study some martial arts with Bruce Lee, check out if Helen of Troy really is that hot, catch up on some sleep, etc. Jump forward to see how my kids are turning out, find out where I fucked up and hopefully rectify the situation...

[Passacaglia]

Yeah, but what form does the gas come in?

Wait, wrong thread.

Perfect.

[Autumn]

Not quite perfect, I don't think. You would eventually draw suspicion by being overly successful in the gambling world, or even the business world. I think it would be best to go back and buy the property where you know there's going to be a gold rush, oil find, etc. Then simply wait. "oh my goodness, who knew."

Errr....it's a time machine, not a miracle worker.

Hello, this is DanGarion posting from the future! Hope all is well.

If you were posting from the future we would not be able to read it yet, would we?

[Autumn]

My question is, wouldn't he know whether all is well already?

Aha! It's an imposter.

Why not? You'd see it once you caught up to the time that the future me posted would you not?

This is easily time travel.

You go back to a week that had a major amount of powerball rollover. You look the numbers up(before leaving) and you go play those numbers. You are then ridiculously rich whenever you come back to the present.

The rest of the time you spend trying to pork hairy cavewomen.

[Marc Vaughan]

Time travel hands down - especially if it means I get to drive a DeLorean (sp?)

[EagleFan]

dola: Forget what I said, time travel is definitely the way to go.

[EagleFan]

Beaming is the way to go. I would love to be able to get anywhere immediately.

[fantom1979]

Time travel. I would travel into the future when everyone has beaming technology. Steal me one and then travel back. Then I would have both

Or you get back to the present and discover you're horrible at managing money, and have already spent it all investing in flying cars and the music business. Now you owe Uncle Sam millions in back taxes and spend the days hiding in old train cars with Willie Nelson.
