So i'm the only one who thinks that looks like a can of mush?
I thought they were little fish. |

The artist pre-rendered 48 different images, representing the entire day at 15 minute increments. The images are stored on the server with filenames corresponding to GMT+12, which seems like an oddly arbitrary choice. (For instance the image which corresponds to 03:15 GMT / 10:15pm EST is named "15h15m.png") When you access the web site, the server checks to see what the current time is, rounds to the nearest 15 minute increment, and loads the appropriate image based on that time. Examining the underlying HTML code behind the page reveals the following, which gives a clue as to the author's sense of humor: <img src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/now.png" title="This image stays roughly in sync with the day (assuming the Earth continues spinning). Shortcut: xkcd.com/now" alt="Now" id="comic_now"/>

Is say, a stock '99 really slower around a track than a stock '90 or '94?

The NA is not a fast car. It simply happens to be very loud and dramatic. I think we can all agree that going 60 MPH in an NA subjectively feels much more exciting than going 110 MPH in a 7-series BMW. This is what I expect that a lot of people mean when the compare an NA to a go-kart. Not that it's necessarily the fastest thing around a track, merely that your kidneys take more of a beating. |
Yes, I misread your sentence. Maybe I should start drinking coffee.
When I think "go-kart" I agree about the kidney's, but I also take it to mean "nothing has the same precision, direction change, etc." I've always thought it was people taking a relatively minor difference and making an authoritative statement so as to seem better at discerning the trivial. |
It's not working in Chrome. It's showing Noon for me, showed Noon when I first viewed it around 7am as well.

Brain-yak, look at the position of the map. It should show you in the right place.
Also if you keep watching, the image moves without requiring a reload. So it's not just checking time at load... |
Ah, the problem is I'm retarded. Nothing new.

First shakedown test of our new endurance car tomorrow. I'm very excite :yippee:
|
The new Butterfinger Peanut Butter cups are good, in case anyone was curious.
I already lost all muscle mass after eating 1 last night. |

Anyone have any idea when the kit will show up on their websight? I would think soon if some people have already per-ordered it.

I looked for it before I left. I looked for it when I got back. I never saw it for sale.

The '91 is a go cart, the 2010 is plush but very fun on the back roads chasing one of the fastest drivers I know and keeping right with him in his NB.
Re:trackspeedturbo. You have to be in the know to know. I would email sav and ask to beta test. Be persistent, that's how he knows who is serious. |
