    The plane knows when it's getting close to the ground. It'll sound warnings when it gets too close.
    But then again, the mountain is so steep uphill that the planes sensors or whatnot didn't know how close it was until it was too late.

    Is that based of ground level or sea level?

    Either way its a pretty crappy thing to happen for everyone involved.

    Yeah, today in class we talked about how the planes automatically unlock the door when it starts descending at a certain rate, etc.

    Flight simulatorX is 5 bucks on steam. Installing now :3

    And modern planes (specifically airliners) have a *lot* of systems on board related to location, height, altitude, proximity to things etc. It certainly knows when its close to the ground, when something (like a mountain) is in front of it, and any other information relevant to the subject at hand.

    ~edit~ 6 hours later...still downloading! :D slow internet ftw!

    Anyone here know a good HD texture mod for New Vegas? ENB looks great, but the standard textures look like crap.

    Edit: Found one, but 3 GB of textures :|
    Still downloading the largest size though. Because all the HD.

    Shit.
    Time to sell all the crap

    I wonder how well the tech demo would run on my school computer (programming workstation, Core i7 and a Radeon HD 7450)...

    I should really be programming right now.

    EDIT: Shitty, is the answer. Clearly a graphics bottleneck, as it's an i7-3770 (non-K, obviously).

    for i=1,100,1 do
        print(name .. ", get back to programming!")
    end

    If this program would compile and download to my NXT, that would be great.

    Be happy you're not doing small scale experiments on Rigs of Rods. That takes me 10 minutes to compile on RelWithDebugInfo, and even more on Release config.

    Emailed the dealer that probably would have sold my car to its orginal owner in 1991. Now to wait.

    So far today.
    Leave uni, randomly bump into close friend, always nice. Arrive at a mates house, discover that his flatmate is someone I went to school with, hi long time no see etc. Go from there to another mates house, awkward introduction to one of his housemates as she comes out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel too small for her. Hmm, what does the remainder of the evening hold, who knows, I wont remember it by the morning as I can't handle my booze.

    Do you really think that someone at the dealership is gonna dig around his files for some kid to figured out who bought a shitty car back in 1991?
    God, do you not understand that people just don't want to be bothered with shit like this?
    Also, I argued with a feminist at school today. When I completely debunked her already terrible argument she kicked me.
    And they say that men are the violent animals. :|

    I think you should check your privilege...

    Even saying that in a non serious way seems wrong :p , what many of them dont realize is that the only person oppressing them is themselves. For example if you dont think that there are enough females in computer science why dont you take a course in computer science, there is nothing stopping you. Instead they just sit and moan on tumbler about how everything is unfair. [/rant]

    Yeah.
    I figured she looked like the type to be a feminist, so I loudly said to one of my friends "ya know feminism is pretty useless". I just wanted to see her go off. It worked. I've always wanted to argue with a feminist face to face where they can't hide behind their tumblr username and do bullshit research to argue points.
    She said something about how women are pregnant and that's men's fault for some reason. Then I told her that no one is forcing her to get pregnant and she refuted that by mentioning guys that refuse to wear condoms, which aren't very prevalent at all. My answer to that was to not fuck guys that don't wear condoms.
    After that I guess she had run out of dumb things to say so she just kicked my ankle and walked away.
    So dense.
