The rule of thumb...

...is 1"/1'.  For me, anyway.  Basically, it's the parallax between your eyes, using the thumb as a focal point.  How much the object jumps between closing my right eye to my left eye translates to how far away an object is.  It's actually kinda accurate.  I've tested it at 10ft, 30ft, and 100ft.  It's quick and easy, too.

Hot shit.

 

Cortex A9, Stuxnet, HBGary & AnonOps, MOO I/II Etc.

Sup fuckers.  When I'm not getting wasted or selling overpriced garbage (read: AT&T), I'm on mah lappy.  Now, you'd figure that I'd stop to communicate all these interesting ideas I have with you, but you're wrong.

I recently found Master of Orion 1 and 2 again.  And boy, howdy.  I had to call in sick just to play the entire damn day.  I, in fact, did not use the internet at all that day.  Just me, DOSBox, and a bottle of vodka.  I even forgot to masturbate.  Or get cigarettes.  Or smoke the cigarettes I would've gotten, had I gotten them.


Yes sir, I should've been downloading my TV episodes like a good little robot, but I was too busy doing the time warp and actually enjoying myself and my time as a living being.  And now, fun times are over.  Back to the mundane diarrhea that is day-to-day.  Mind you, I have fun things to watch, and lots of awesome news to read (I lol'd hard at HBGary getting deepdick assfucked by anon after they came up with some bullshit garbage saying they "found the leader of anon".  I know, right?  lolwut.)  And man, that dual-core Cortex is fucking hot shit.


Ah, I never have enough time for the fun, while I have too much time for the suck.  FML, FYL, and thank science for booze.

Non-nightmare dream. Awesome.

The main point in the dream was how thing were remembered. I overheard that a big event was 40 campfires ago. A really big event was 48 pretty flowers ago.  As this was told to me, I visually (in my dream) had a faded overlay of time running backwards, as we walked on the arid land (think New Mexico) past brush and... oh a pretty flower on a cactus.  48 of those ago?   Boggles the mind.  And then both the alarms went off and I was up.  Ok I gotta go catch mah ride.
