You forgot my Pi Memorization Aid...

What about mine and the updated one that Jrock did?

Did you like that one No_one???

Yes, I did :)

I think the options you added look better in the dialog box, the way you did it :) I was too lazy to make it look good or anything LOL

Hm...i'm a little skeptical about KerNo getting 15k downloads...could you guys check out the validity of that?

I would like to say that nobody should be skeptical of download ststs. We recently reset the download count of Megacar 83+ onlt fin out that there wasa link to download the file on the front page of ti's website. It downloaded the file from the ticalc.org surver, this massing huge downloads. Once we realized they were actually getting this many downloads we reset it back to its former glory.

It's possible... look at VTI. Just about every calcualtor owner needs that program, so they all download it. Then, they make a new version, so they all download it again... that's how I assume the downloads for it get so high, though I think it's amazing how every single week, it always gets over 100 downloads...

Well, ironically, today is also Albert Einstein's birthday. He was born on 3/14/1879. He died on 4/18/1955, but he actually got really ill on 4/13... 413 + 314 = mirror images of each other.

Just for the fun of it, do the following calculation and tell me what you get:

1 divided by the square root of one atmosphere (standard atmospheric pressure at sea level) measured in megapascals.

1/(.101325)^2 = 3.141533... That's only off by about .000059... not bad!

The equation should have been 1/(.101325)^(1/2). Sorry!

I thought he died on the 17th...

Mmmmm...ğR Yummy.

That weird symbol WAS a pi symbol when I pasted it into the comment space. WTF happened?!?

It probably is a two-byte character and your browser uses a two-byte font for the edit box but the server (or your browser) converted it to one-byte characters.

The only thing that I can think of is... uh... what Andy said ;-)

So why bother pointing that out :p

ƒÎ Formulas!

ƒÎ/2 = (2*2*4*4*6*6*8....) / (1*3*3*5*5*7*7...)

ƒÎ = 2�ã(3) * (1-(1/3^2) + (1/(3^2*5)) - (1/(3^3*7))+...)

ƒÎ/4 = 5arctan(1/7) + 2arctan(3/79)

ƒÎ/4 = 2arctan(1/3) + arctan(1/7)

(ƒÎ^4)/90 = 1/(1^4) + 1/(2^4) + 1/(3^4)...

(ƒÎ^2)/6 = 1/(1^2) + 1/(2^2) + 1/(3^2)...

ƒÎ = 24arctan(1/8) + 8arctan(1/57) + 4arctan(1/239)

ƒÎ = -i(ln -1)

What the...? I typed in a pi character, not fi!

Also, that weird box-shape was a radical symbol before I posted that comment. WHY DID IT NOT POST CORRECTLY?!?

Most likely the symbols are not know to the text prog that is dysplaying all of this...or it is not in the windows charset or something.

If you want to be understood, stick to 7-bit ASCII.

From 0-127? Oh... n/m duh... ;-)

I didn't think that two-byte characters could be written in a text box like that.

Yeah, I've done non-ASCII (ASCII is only 7 bits, BTW) text in a text box in the Konquerer web browser (it comes with KDE) and I had it translated at that Babelfish translator.

OTOH, I don't know if IE even supports it.

€�‚ƒ„…†‡ˆ‰Š‹....
aren't those all >=128?

Yeah, but they're displayed however the browser wishes to render them, depending on how you have it set (like "View->Character Coding" in Mozilla or "View->Encoding" in IE). Whatever the case, codes above 127 are not ASCII characters. They're part of some other standard character set (like DOS or Windows "ASCII").

&#960; <-- This should be a pi symbol, copied from Word.

Wow, that's weird! It should be "&#960;" in the HTML source, and that instructs web browsers to render a pi symbol regardless of the character encoding (I suppose this feature of HTML hides the messy details of character sets and stuff). It looked like the actual symbol as I was typing, but it changed to "&#960;" in the post.

Anyway, Happy 4 days + &#960; Day!

(I'm aware of all the HTML encoding and the translations ticalc.org does to posts. All of this post should be exactly as I intend it)

That's weird -- the pi symbol didn't display properly in my browser (just a box); but the radical symbol DID display in my browser! What fonts did you paste from? What font is this page displaying in?

Microsoft-style "symbol fonts" are a really dumb way to display non-ASCII, because they're in no way standardized. What would be best is if the whole site switched to Unicode.

I copied them from a Word Document in Times New Roman. What is really creepy is that the symbol changed from my first pi post to the second pi post *runs away* *scared*

Did you use a different font?

Oh, probably a two-byte character. I think some word processors use those, but they aren't compatible with regular text, I don't think.

No, I used Word default, which is Times New Roman *even more scared*

Oh wait... are you looking at the old ASCII set?

That's pretty cool... where did you get all of those? Was it joyofpi.com?

I got it from the Joy of Pi book, by David Blatner

Ooohhhhhhhh... the book :) If it has 1e6 digits of pi, then it must be pretty thick, right? I wonder if the library has it... mmm... probably (how come I always have to fix typos on that word!?).

Actually, it is pamphlet sized. The digits are spread out in small nodules across the book (i.e. between text, diagrams, tables, blank areas, etc) in 1-point (I think) type size, so they are very, very small numbers.
