anyone downloaded this screen saver yet? it's awesome. i have it set as my desktop.

however...

i have one big problem with it that bugs the sh*t outta me everytime i look at it. the earth at any given time is either 50% in the sunlight (or close to it) or 50% in darkness...

this screen saver has it as 3/4 dark and 1/4 in the sun. looks kinda goofy.

I'm going to make an assumption:

http://www.djbradanderson.com/global/

is what this person is referring to. It's actually global consciousness, which would make it a bit hard to find. I'm trying it out now, seems pretty cool actually.
I have no credentials whatsoever to post here.

Yeah. It's like the idiocy of talk radio combined with the irrelevance of an Internet forum.

Ahhh, sweet irony.

Yeah, the messages are inane.
