James Designs a Computer Virus
during the timeless serenity of staring at a muted movie with Charles, James stood up to give a presentation
"imagine clicking a link to a website that's supposed to 'enlarge your penis 10 inches guaranteed in 1 week' but it doesn't actually do that!"
Charles began scanning the room for the television remote
"using html5, the browser begins fucking itself so hard that the visitor can barely move their mouse. their computer is having a seizure from how much html5 shit they just got assblasted with. during this brief period of hysteria, the website uses one of many tools to ddos the visitor's connection while also trying to send a tiny virus that silently installs itself after the computer reboots. the visitor might just hard reset their computer if they don't think it's worth the trouble to figure out how to exit the website, or if they think the website is going to give them a virus... and that's when it happens -- bam -- the computer restarts, the virus installs, and for a few hours continues installing shit silently until we have full access. think about it, man, do we have the technology?"
Charles stared into James' eyes for a much longer period than normal
"you have beautiful eyes, james."
"thank you, charles."
"bog'?"
"bog'."
the pair went out into a beautiful and starry night, and Charles passed James a bogey
"do you think that, like... space... ends?"
James stared at a specific point in the sky for a few moments before answering
"light can only travel so far before it's no longer visible, i think. something about gravity or wavelengths makes it essetially disappear, right? that means space is technically only as wide as the light from each end can reach. i don't think it ends, but maybe outside of the visible universe, there's an endless emptiness with no light and who knows what else... and we'll never know. we won't even leave our solar system..."
"you make science sound so hot."
"you're the one that's hot."
