Thank you Noah!
I'm goin' up to watch whose line is it anyway. see ya tomorrow (day off! YAY!)

I have friday off too, would you happen to live in maryland?

Nope. East TN. It wouldn't happen to be a "Faculty Retreat" for your school, would it?

Hah! It actually is, this is quite interesting. Also, note that before my comment, there were 69 comments on the message board. Yeah baby, yeah!

This is weird. Anyone else have the day off today (Friday, Oct 22)?

Thanks for the games Sam and Ahmed!

<songquote>Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands?</songquote>

note: If you get my noah joke, you know too much american history for your own good. Forget it now while you still can (or wait for the semester exams :)

Hey, noah was cool. He parted the red Sea :)


P.S. Noah Wenster Spent 35 years his dictionary. He favored the colonist pronuciation of words over the British, giving rise to the way we speak today :)

That would be the Noah Webster I am referring to.

I guess i fail

Um, no, that was Moses that parted the red sea.

Just a little history lesson.

You got that right ripped out of Merriam-Webster dictionary, didn't you? :)
Anyway, alliteration is not an easy thing, and I really appreciate your work!

GO NICK!!! :)

Heh... actually, www.m-w.com. The word "perspicacity" is a reference to the Simpsons episode where the teachers go on strike. Ironically, this is also the episode where the phrase "purple monkey dishwasher" originated.

Lisa: "...Nor can I yield, nor relent, nor.. uh.... ONLY TWO SYNONYMS?! I'M LOSING MY PERSPICACITY!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

Hey... what are you doing here in the middle of the morning (8:10 your time)? Wait... I should ask myself the same question too... (9:23 my time right now).

study hall, man. study hall

First period I work in the school newspaper room. In said room, there are three apple macintosh G3's. These said G3's happen to have a T1 connection. :)

--BlueCalx

What a waste, unless it's running Linux :)

hey... it's a t1 connection! no matter how crummy the platform, it's still fast.

The mac platform is not a crummy platform.

Anyone who says this
(X)Sucks
( )Has windows
( )Has linux
(X)Must not have an open mind
(X)Never Tried to full os
(X)Hates how schools limit what you can do on them
(X)Does not own a G3 or G4

Try
(X)the full capibilitys before making theses types of statements.
(X)The actual OS not At Ease
( )Windows
( )Linux
(X)Saying things non offenceive to owners of all three of those mentioned platforms.
(X)The new Mac OS 9 with voice print
(X)Saying sorry
(X)Buying the newest G3
( )Being stupid (This was added for another non checked item)

I would like to say
*This is a return flame
*This was flame bait and a defence for my faviorite platform, 2nd linux, 3rd Windows
*I hope you will no longer flame mac fans.

P.S. Don't say to try windows or Linux. I have them all.
P.S.S. ANY FLAMES GO TO BILL GATES AT bill_gates@microsoftsupport.com
P.S.S.S. Sorry for ripping off of others. Be flattered that I like your Ideas.

lol

Up to this point, I thought no one had made a comment about the words you chose for the article title. It's 7:30 am, and all I see is a bunch of words beginning with the letter 'P', a couple of which appear to be about.. ohh.. 60 or 70 letters long. :)

Dude... you're up way too early on a Friday.

school, man. school...

You got it.

I don't live at college, and don't always have the car, so sometimes I catch rides. It just so happens that the only one I could get this morning put me in school at 6:45 am. :P

man... u posted your definition 8 minutes before me!
well i have to comment again on why the 83+ isn't a bad system.... the 83+ is pretty much what the people who just started using graphing calculators get... it is only a few dollars more than the 83+ and is pretty much the only calculator the average high schooler needs... so for that reason, the 83+ is a pretty good calculator to get, and people who get 83+'s, some of them will end up programming for it and that is why more people are starting to program for it, plus the other calculators are more expensive, so there are less people who have it, hence less programmers... so don't go out ther just getting mad at people for not programming on your calc... if u don't think there are enough games for ur calculator... go and start programming for it urself... there are plenty resource...
man... i didn't think i could write all this :)
i hope people pay attention!

kind of of the subject, but i felt like answering the question
