Ideas:
On your file author page, tell which of your files is the most popular
Delete the frauds' accounts (at least _no_one_2000_`)


Do those sound good? ;) They're just ideas.

Hey guys! Good news! Apparently, my computer turned itself on (God only knows how), so all the sites hosted on it are up and running as we speak. Woohoo!

YES! *thanks God*

Nice pictures, lord_nightrose. When did you graduate?

June 6, 2001. Don't know when I'll be graduating from college.

Maybe the power button was depressed (i.e. pressed in), so when the power cane on, the comp came up.

No; my PC has the kind of power button that doesn't depress. I think it was the Wake on LAN feature in my BIOS... which I had turned on, apparently.

Do you still check your mail? I need help with ftping to ccoderz.org!

Must-get-to-300-posts...

There we go.

I wondered how it was exactly 300... :)

OMG, an offer for "Philip Shirey to sign up for American Girl Magazine" just came in the mail! WHAT THE HE... HECK?

Weird. It is probably spam mail.

LOL but it was funny ;) Kinda freaky though.

Yup.

strange things happen to me

Yay, let's sing the Toy Story song!

Oh gosh, no. *rolls eyes*

Do you still have all the spoken lyrics memorized?

The shocking history of the greatest word has been unvealed! After hours (or minutes) of research on Google, I have discoverd this about the almighty w00t!:
(This is copied from someone's comment in a forum from a while back)

I had to be enlightened just a little bit ago. I've heard that w00t (w,<zero>, <zero>, t) is a combination of "wow" and "cool". That's my $0.02.

I think it also has something to do with the word "woot", which stemmed from "whoot", which came from the spoken exclamation. It also has some roots in so-called "1337 sp34k" ("leet speak", or the rampant substitution of numbers for similarly-shaped letters.) After all, the 1337 treatment, applied to "woot" yields "w00t". In short, the word's origins are disputable, but it is pretty much the equivalent to "COOL!!!". W00t also has quite a few variations, like "w00table" and "the w00t". (The latter of which I've seen used often in the phrase "omg teh w00t!!". Yeah.)

That's worth noticing...w00t!

Cool! Maybe I found the same site you did... I found a t-shirt for sale on the internet that said "w00t!" on it in big letters...

i found that one, too.

w00t!

http://www.thinkgeek.com/

Yup :)

That's where I got two of my shirts: one that says "YOU ARE DUMB" in binary, and another that says "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US." on the front and "SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB."

That's amazing!!!!!! *amazed*

...and "SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB." on the back.

Thanx, ac. That cleared up a lot of questions I had about the almighty w00t!

Too bad that 99.99999999999999999% hasn't even heard w00t! before

oops, I mean 99.999999999% of the world

I wonder how many of us are there that can readily define "w00t?"

(to above comment)

That was supposed to be "'w00t!'?"

I don't know, but in the old days, people didn't care about the exclamation mark. It wasn't needed. Then new people came in and said it had to be on or it was incorrect. I don't think it needs it, unless it's used as an interjection.

OK. 8-)

Yeah, the n00b w00ters were bad to me. *cry* j/k

>>That's my $0.02.

If you are refering to the statement "That's my two bits", then you are incorrect in assuming that $0.02 is two bits.

A bit, in US currency, was equal to $0.125. So if you were to express two bits as cents, it would be $0.25.

no, in the US, we have an expression:
"That's my two cents"

"That's my 10b cents."

Funny...I live in the United States and I've always heard "two bits" instead of "two cents". Actually, it has been a while since I have heared either.

Two bits? Well, 2d=10b=2 bits... I guess...

I shouldn't have brought this up...
