    This guy, damn. 140mph in the oncoming lane? That's insane.
    It'd be terrifying to be a cop in that. If he hit and injured/killed innocent people, the blood would partially be on your hands. I'm not a religious person, but that would have driven me to pray.

    In the UK the data protection act states that all data stored about a person has to be accurate. Which is why we have to provide accurate data, but that doesnt mean people do since it is often benefitial in terms of security not too supply completely accurate data.

    Why? What's the point? If it's about the wheels, then just hit the FUKIN' wheels! No need to destroy the rest of it. Also, I think that all non-hubcap (non-steel wheels) get hit with a hammer like that and suffer no damage.

    Been working on "332" Mesh compression. 332 being the number of bytes vertices, normals, and uvs use respectively. Standard vertices use 12 bytes (3xfloating point numbers), as well as normals. Standard uvs use 8 bytes (2x floating point numbers).This is lossy but I find these results interesting.

    Absolutely massive storm moving just south of here. Looks like it's building to the north and it might hit me, though. Watching the radar very closely to decide whether or not I need to move the crown vic into the vacant house's garage, which I realized is unlocked and I have devoted to emergency storm parking.
    Not gonna get my damn freshly washed and polished car dirty. >:|
    Crown vic is getting wet but the main part of the storm missed me. No need to enact the emergency storm shelter system.
    Crisis averted.

    Tarps don't protect the car against trees falling on it or hail. I don't really care too much about it getting wet, I just don't want it to get hit with debris and shit in high winds. The driveway where it's parked is also lined with really weak, large trees that are usually the first to go down during a storm. I don't want half of a bradford pear landing on the roof of my car. :|
    It never spends more than a couple hours in the garage, just long enough for the storm to pass and I get it back out. The house in question is also pretty much abandoned. Foreclosed on 3 years ago and its sat empty since. Hasn't been for sale since early 2013 and it looked like it had pretty much been left to rot, but it's being auctioned, which is a bummer.

    Just got home from Florida. grandpa's 95th, etc. He gave me his old iPhone 4 as a gift to replace my crappy prepaid phone, I like it, even though I'm a darksider to the Apple side.

    First thing I'd do with it is find an IOS instruction manual and read it :p

    First thing I'd do is jailbreak it. I can't stand stock IOS.

    That's what I'd do after I've read the manual.
    Actually, after I read the manual I'd look on Google some way to get android running on it.

    If it was actually possible I'd buy an IPhone immediatly, since there not bad phones on paper, but IOS completly ruins them for me.
    Actually, I'd rather have a Nokia Brick than anything with IOS on it, I just absolutely hate the UI and I will NEVER like it even the slightest.

    --edit--
    Okay, so I'll go sleeping soon-ish.
    One thing I thought I'd talk about is this

    So my mom will make them tomorrow.
    Umm, yeah, I've heard they're really delicous, and, I mean, what could go wrong with Nutella Brownies?
    Just thiking about that makes me hungry actually. :p

    Not true at all, their specs are actually pretty bad compared to other phones (in that price-range). The reason they perform so well is that the software can utilize 100% of the hardware, because the software is made specifically for the hardware. Android is made to work* on everything, so they can't utilize 100% of the hardware because they don't just have one phone/tablet/other-Android-based-thing/TV/whatever to focus on. Apple can get away using crappy specs becuase the reasons stated above.

    *It's just made to work on everything, not take advantage of everything it can (they try to do that but it's pretty difficult, considering how much hardware is out there)

    For the record: I'm a Android person.

    I thought their mobile CPUs are among the fastest out there?
