srsly wtf r u doin*
FTFY.
I thought about fixing it, but I had already uploaded the screenshot.
Oh the joys of Google’s AppEngine, where [icode]Thread.sleep(1)[/icode] sleeps for 800-3000ms, grinding a small fleet of servers to a halt. I want my time back Google, srsly, wot r u doin.
:o Holy hell that’s scary…
You forgot to update your code compliance to the proper time-zone:
delay equ -1000
top: mov ax, delay
loopa: mov bx, delay
loopb: dec bx
jnc loopb
dec ax
jnc loopa
mov ah,2
mov dl,'A'
int 21
jmp top
I’m was just here looking through my unread posts when I find this…
MIND… BLOWN
If you’re time traveling, be careful, your phone and computer may turn into these:
I know a simple way to time travel. I lie down and close my eyes and when I open them again it’s suddenly later.
hey where did you find a pic of my home phone :3
would actually be cool to have one of those HUGE cell phones and be like “HELLO I AM ON A TELEPHONE”
well travelling into the future is super easy. Just orbit around earth fast for long and its years later (not doing math here)
but you can never go back
Michio Kaku is always super optimistic about the future, and with many things I actually agree, however time travel…
He was like well time travel seems like the most unlikely but give it 1000 years.
Since the past doesnt exist anymore, you would need more energy than this universe contains to bring it back into reverse to that old state. Also this would revert you as well so you wouldnt even notice, unless you can leave the universe… ?
And on that note there is only 2 options for doing this: Either, as per extension of the String theory maybe instances of the past do exist somewhere somehow so you dont have to force this universe back, you just go there. Or it’s doable from outside the universe, because like maybe comparatively this universe is tiny from the outside, you know…
Of course there is also the thought experiment: since there are no time travelers it’s never going to happen.
However 1) could have different reasons, 2) since we have the Fermi paradox, who knows, the thought might be flawed to begin with (not related just saying out thought process might forget something here)
I kept a lottery number from 2007 for 30 million euro. its a file on my computer. Unless I ever lose it, I will use that in the past. But it hasn’t happened
On that note I do love Back to the Future and as a child I modified my bicycle to go back in time. I guess I never reached 88mph
Uhmmmm… :persecutioncomplex: I don’t think I should answer that, kthxbai
Sudden realization that E.T. was a metaphor for a naive user installing unknown software whose only purpose is to PHONE HOME. :o
Also, according to science, if you teleport 10 lightyears away from earth and look back with a super microscope you should see 10 years into the past…
Time dilation makes sci-fi space battles interesting, since if you’re far away enough (say, trying to shoot a ship on Earth’s orbit from Saturn) you’re actually aiming at where that ship was in the past, even if it is just a few minutes.
It’s like playing a shooter with massive lag.
And it’s also why, in a realistic environment, you’d resort to self-guiding missiles.
… or lasers and target prediction.
Cas
so to put that in code:
Light l = new Light();
Point pos = l.getPosition();
Thread.sleep(1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365);
double dist = pos.distanceTo(l.getPosition());
pos = Human.getPosition();
Human.teleport(pos + new Point(0, dist));
Human.look(pos);
Well if you look into the mirror, that’s the past as well to some degree
