[insert sbtechno here]

I knew that there had to be a rational explaination.
Now we know!

The system is down.

the system...is down...the system...is down...the system system sys sys sys sys...I love that song :)

Maybe I'm just weird, but has anybody gotten together some of their friends together and tried to do "The System is Down" sbtechno thing by themselves?

Yes. And every time we do, it turns out to be a disaster. no one can ever get their queues. But it is always fun to try.

-W-

I should try to record my friends and I doing "System Is Down". If nothing else, it'd be funny.

Oooh... And for those of you who care, check my website. Newly updated.(link)

I was wondering why the earth seems to stand still whenever ticalc.org is down... :P

Yesterday, I was freaking out because I couldn't access ticalc.org... anyway, what was the real reason? I'm going out on a limb here and saying this is fake ;-) So... what really happened?

Oh, the truth is right there in the article.

But Magnus, you know that they don't read them. Only if he had gotten to that second paragraph :-)

QUOTE: "The staff member, who wished to remain anonymous...".
I'm going to guess that it was you. ^_^

<JOKE> I just figured it was morgan. It sounds like something he would try to do. I mean, come on morgan, why'd you have to do it? </JOKE>

-W-

Yes.. Why? I though my internet connection was messed up seeing as how I couldn't connect to this site or TI's yesterday. Ah well, I got happy again once I started programming for my calc again.

OMG just checked TI's site. INTRODUCING THE TI-84!!

Good times indeed... :)

TI-84 Plus (silver edition), not TI-84
TI-84!!=(about) TI-3.331420134e134!

Oh, I don't know...they always but *red* borders around true news items...

"Yesterday, I was freaking out because I couldn't access ticalc.org... anyway, what was the real reason? I'm going out on a limb here and saying this is fake ;-) So... what really happened? "

Somebody tried to upload another "OMG! OMG! Teh Formulas!!1!" program for the TI-83, and the system just couldn't handle it. ;)

Or a quadratic solver.... ;-)

Well, what it is, is a massive government conspiracy. In addition to keeping gravity machines, the U.S. government also keeps spinning machines in the earth's center. ticalc.org is directly linked to this mainframe, which is an AS/400 system. The mainframe, however, requires libraries and status updates from the surface -- partially provided by ticalc.org. However, due to an error in the libglobe-gtk library (partially caused by SCO's negligence) the unexpected downtime at ticalc.org caused the earth-spinning machine, which runs a solid-state Windows operating system, to temporarily display a BSOD on all monitors. Only after the successful restart of ticalc.org's servers and a quick power cycle of the earth-spinning machines did the earth start to rotate again.
Significant weather changes are expected in the Northeast US (cold temperatures) as the US government attempts to gradually adjust rotation to match with the schedules set by the ISO.

could this also account for the erratic weather patterns (39 degrees celcius, 90 percent humidity) ?

for us its more like -2 or -3 degrees celsius (washingtin state, USA)

TiWeather_Forcast? New program?:) (by the way T=+-15ºC were)

I also live there, but it's in the 30s currently.

Yeah, but it's starting to warm up around Puget Sound.

What...I got to check this out! So where do you and Konrad Meyer live in WA? I'm in Olympia at the moment.

I live a couple miles east of seattle :) It's been snowing heavily for the last couple days.

No Crap...it was my first time driving in snow and it actually went really well. Didn't get stuck or anything. I even went out when they were telling everyone else to stay in their homes.

That's cool that you live in WA too. Seattle has been a mess...good luck!

Cool! I live in Kirkland. Interesting how many locals you meet on an international website! :-)

Finally the snow is melting around here. I guess Mason County is last for everything...but we did get 10 inches of snow

hehe, 10 inches of snow.... Here in Louisville, it was 67 degres F on sunday. It rained like none other, and had it been that cold, we would have been measuring snow in feet.

-W-

hmm locals... i live in sexy lexy, kentucky (see how nice that flows? try doing that with louisville, you pitino fan. pfft.)

39°C? 90% humidity? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that how it usually is on a Borg ship? Maybe ticalc was assimilated...

We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your uniqueness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

That's right. The Borg live in Australia (queensland to be exact)!!!

I am Locutus of Borg. We will proceed to sector 0-0-1. Resistance is futile ... Number one.

I liked those two episodes. Glad they were able to get Patrick Stewart back for the third season. :)
