The Death of Brian

The Death of Brian

Plane Loses Power Cockpit Footage

CreamK says...

That is what training is about. If you listen black box recordings of planes that are few seconds from certain crash and most likely death of the pilots, they are like the receptionist from a hotel lobby. "here's you room key and complementary..." "check the flaps, turn the fuel injection off.. " silence. It's the most precious physical quality in the cockpit as the more calm you are, the better judgements you make. Also when you are following that kind of routine, the desperation doesn't incapacitate you. The downside is that they rarely get to send their farewells to family, that's not in the checklist.

Have to send congrats to this pilot, he acts exactly like one should. It's really admirable.

Octopus Project - I Saw the Bright Shinies

oritteropo says...

Vimeo description:

Animated by Austin illustrator Divya Srinivasan, this animated video depicts three sleepy ghost kids following a heterochromic fox through a snowy twilight. When the group discovers an impromptu critter disco in a forest clearing, the spirits and strays dance in harmony until a cranky babushka bemoans the noise and breaks up the party. Thus, the spectral youths return to the astral plane... but not without a final farewell to their new found animal friends.

Divya Srinivasan has previously created animated videos for Spoon ("Everything Hits at Once"), They Might Be Giants, The Sundance Channel and Wonder Showzen, and worked on Richard Linklater's "Waking Life" feature film. Divya's illustration portfolio includes numerous pieces for the New Yorker magazine, as well as the album artwork for Sufjan Stevens' Illinois and This American Life's "Stories of Hope and Fear" collection.

"I Saw The Bright Shinies" is from The Octopus Project's album "Hello, Avalanche," released in 2007 on Peek-A-Boo Records. The "Bright Shinies" video appears on the "Golden Beds" enhanced CD EP released in 2009 on Peek-A-Boo Records.

>> ^MonkeySpank:

Hey buttass!
My computer is so fast it can run an infinite loop in 2 seconds, so I don't need your damn optimized O(n) sorting algorithm!
>> ^luxury_pie:
Well I use the chance to promote one of the newer sorting algorithms, which kind of use the "Quantum Suicide" principle. So here it is:
1. Shuffle your list randomly
2. If it's sorted now, stop.
3. If not, destroy the entire universe.
Reason: "Since the only survivors of this rather apocalyptic approach to computing will be in universes where the list was sorted after the first shuffle, it is quite efficient. Checking if a list is sorted requires n-1 comparisons, and I'm going to assume an entire universe can be destroyed in O(1), as it only ever has to happen once. Thus, bogosort becomes an O(n) sort algorithm."

You failed sir and must now handle your running computer alone. Farewell.

Shaking The Twins

deathcow says...

press 5 repeatedly until laughter occurs, if you include her last laugh she is doing a hell of a parrot imitation, the more you press it, the more she devolves into a parrot

Her statement at the end is my standard farewell.
