12am is midnight. We go from 11:59pm to 12:00am. "am" means "ante-meridian", or "before noon". "pm" means "post-meridian", or "after noon".

You can read "pm" as meaning "afternoon, evening, and night", while "am" is "morning" (including the pre-dawn hours).

Actually, that's not entirely accurate. AM is before noon, PM is after noon. 12:00 is noon. In actuality, it is neither PM nor AM, just like midnight since midnight could either be considered to be 12 hours after noon or 12 hours before. However, since the 59mins following midnight are in AM, midnight is commonly considered AM as well.

In a calculus class we dedetermined 1200 is noon 2400 is midnight. Since this only exists for a breif moment in time

12:00.00000000000000000000...1 is PM.

Using limits on both 12:00 and 24:00 Noon becomes PM and Midnight Becomes AM.

Meh, you could use limits from below just as easily...

11:59.99999999999999999999999999999999999... is AM.

The trouble is, you're dealing with a discontinuous/step function. If it's not defined AT the point you're approaching, you can easily get into trouble trying to apply limits.

...

That said, I agree... 1200 is PM, 0000 is AM.

How about this...just drive around EB, Gamestop, or wherever you preordered 3 or 4 days before the release (since some people live in a time warp). If you see a mass of people dressed up for halloween with about 10 Statesman and 25 Arachnos with the occasional Sister Psyche (we all hope for more )Then odds are you are at the pre release.

If it's a no show, then go the next night and look for said congregation, and so forth until you realize "HEY!! IT's Oct. 31...Noon ... Midnight ... whatever ... I HAVE THE GAME!!!"

Actually approaching Noon which is is neither AM or PM. This is why the limit was approached from both sides ..think of noon as dividing by zero so it is excluded. It gets messy I know. <removed irrelevant time clock issues that only muddy the waters>

Um... yeah, that's exactly what I just said. You're looking at a step function y = f(x) that's undefined at x, and trying to decide what the value of y 'should' be at x by looking at the limits from both directions. You can't *do* that in this case.

Statedman says "Yes". I say it will be launched on time. Will it be playable at launch? NO! Based on unavailability, lag, and Map server disconnects on CoH servers caused by CoV beta being switched to live servers, it will unequivacally not be ready. Released? Yes. This evenning alone I can not log into CoV or CoH. That's the reason I have time to look through the forums. If I should be able to get on later, I know I will not be able to play without significant lag or multiple map server disconnects.

Last Saturday, I was at the local electronics retailer looking for the Pre-Sell disk which was sold out on the floor. They checked the back and said they were out of Pre-Sells but had the COV game itself ready to hit the shelves whenever the vendor said go.

Dammit, nothing beats all three.

But, since the paper's already chewed up... I'll go with Gun. Targets Rock, and shoots Wolf.

HAHAHA!

I've got a skirt and thigh high boots and guess what. Stealth + skirt = lots of guys staring at my undies. I never thought that having the bikini bottom under the skirt was so... distracting...

I hear ya...American Lass wears the plaid mini and thigh highs...when I first log in, her skirt is gone for a sec...and the blurry look of her black undies (while they are "rezzing-in") tends to look like...um...a merkin.
