Never heard this one before! Neat.

Seriously though, very very cool!

Random turn time.

What would a time lapse of one Earth orbit around the sun look like?

A picture taken looking east each day at 8am, ran at 30FPS shows the sun going up and down in it's seasonal drift.
When weather allows, unfortunately. Moscow is not exactly a land of clear skies.

Same footage at noon, spanning a couple of years it took to raise an apartment building.
It kept on going till recently, but later parts are way too boring.

And I thought MY day was rough...

And I thought MY day was rough...

Well, it is an exercise bomb and it will miss... sounds like a day that you can still complain after.

 

[Fabri91]

Yep, turned out to be a rough day all right.

I mean I understand the appeal of using a GPS, especially in cities you're new to.

But how the hell can you lose that much common sense that you end up on an airport, in rivers, on farms...

Common Sense doesn't come standard.

Common Sense doesn't come standard.

No but it's the first software you should install.

Or maybe after the antivirus software.

Something strange I noticed recently after looking at my Imgur page.

The Shuttle-D package on OHM has currently 867 downloads total.

The Shuttle-D development thread on OF has 6722 hits. Rather high, but not too bizarre if each visit is counted seperately.

The Shuttle-D development album on Imgur has 686 hits. This would not be strange except for that this number was reached in days after I first uploaded. My other albums there have 5-10 hits total on average.

Is it possible that electronic searches are somehow finding it repeatedly, maybe thanks to the similarity between the name & the space shuttle... ?

Common?

Common Sense doesn't come standard.

The most uncommon thing in the universe is common sense.

Software Development is a mad race between developers trying to build bigger and better, idiot proof programs and the Universe trying to build bigger and better idiots... The Universe has a 15 BILLION year head start.. and is winning.

SSDs: The best invention since Döner Kebab. :lol:

 

[Artlav]

SSD?
240Gb of size, up to 1500MB/s Sequential Read, up to 1300MB/s Sequential Write - nearly two orders of magnitude faster than typical HDD.
Costs like a very used soviet car, Windows boots in 3 seconds... BIOS boots in 2 minutes.

It really gets interactivity up, however.
I like computers that react to a command the moment the key is pressed, with no human-measurable delay.
These are so friggin rare these days.

That's absolutely brilliant. I love seeing the carpet-nano-bots' thoughts...
