It was a hard decision, but I finally chose playing games, because I love video games, and I plan on getting a couple new ones for Christmas (can't wait!).

I've been averaging 4 hours of sleep for the last couple dozen weeks, I'll be glad to finally sleep in and go to bed at a decent hour.

Tell me about it. Go to sleep at 1:30am maybe 2:00am wake up at 6:00am. Although I usually get a nap in around 4:00pm it sucks! Glad to finally go to sleep at 1:00am and wake up at 11:00am.

How come there isnt a voteing choice on shooting people??

How come there isnt a voting choice on shooting people??

why the f*** did it appear twice? anyways this is off subject but whos seen my call of duty program in the ti-83 plus basic animations?

Oooh, oooh, not me.

Man, I really need to break out my 83+ again.

-W-

It appeared twice because you clicked the submit button twice...note the second to last paragraph on the posting screen:
>> When you're done, please hit the Post button once
>> and be patient! It may take a moment to process.

I realize now what you did...you spelled "voting" as "voteing" (in the first post), clicked "Post", saw that you spelled it wrong, corrected it to "voting" (in the second post), then clicked "Post" again...anther mystery solved... :)

That really worries me.

Yes.

LOL Finally somebody replies to that comment. I was beginning to think that everybody else found it perfectly normal to go around shooting people for the fun of it. :)

Duh, that is what video games like GTA3 and Vice City teach us.

-W-

Again, very true.

<MWAHAHA> It's not normal? </MWAHAHA>

Ha...I haven't been sleeping at all during the last few weeks.

If any it comes during the day around 10:00 AM and lasts for up to 3 hours, had finals, ticalc.org stuff, and had to move back home for the break and still this guy has the urge to send me hate mail at filearchive@ticalc.org becasue I didn't tell him where he could find the exact trig program he was looking for...geesh...give a man a break! Sorry...so I voted sleeping, cuz I NEED TOO!

Send that guy a mail bomb back :)

or a link to a webpage that just keeps opening itself in a new window...
angelboy didnt make one of those, or was just for shults calc?

1) That's very easy to do
2) That's very easy to get out of, and really pointless as a way of revenge... (Ctrl Alt Del? No, not the comic)

What about having a loop in java that continuously runs "javascript: alert('Revenge is sweet')"? Are there loops in java? Sorry if that's a stupid question...anyone know of any good online java tutorials? I really would like to learn...Note: If you don't know java (like me), paste that line (not including the double (")'s only the two (')'s) in your web page address bar and press enter to see what it does...

Yes, Java definitely has loops. I started learning it when I was 12 or 13, then decided it was too hard. Now I'm taking AP Computer Science, and their language is Java, and I'm definitely at the top of the class, so that works out nicely.

An easy way to loop the alert like that would just be do so something like this:

while(true){
alert("Revenge is sweet");
}

Of course, they could still easily Ctrl+Alt+Del out of it, but ah well.

Although, I have managed to make JS programs that can lock up the computers at school. Since there's no Ctrl+Alt+Del, I just pop up millions of windows, and have them constantly moving around the screen so that you can't close them out, and it will have all these functions running, like changing the background colors of the windows and stuff... since you can't close them out (it bogs down the computer too much to close them) and it just keeps on making more, it eventually locks up the computer. It's great.

Ah, so you go to a school that knows a thing or two about computers.... My school does not care weather we screw the computers up or not, I guess they figure none of us will know how/want to. But seriously though, I probally know more than my computer teacher about computers. She tried to uninstall a program by deleting the folder. And when she could not delete it, she was confused, because -- atleast on OS 8.6 -- the programs folder is locked by default. It is insane.

-W-

That's pretty bad for a computer teacher....It's like getting some surgery and finding that the surgeon doesn't know what a "liver" is....

Hahaha! Well, maybe she had more experience with Windows than with Macs. I do... I don't know too much about Macs, but I wouldn't just delete a folder to uninstall something. :-D That's pretty funny.

Also, our school isn't really THAT smart with computers. I mean... there are a few that know what they're doing, but otherwise, people are helpless ;-) We have Windows XP, so most people know how to use that better, since, I've found, overall, people work better with Windows than with Macs because it's what they're used to.

XP!!!! That is great. They think they have you with that limited user crap, but no, no they don't. It is so easy to get around it. How ever, it requires a techie to be shightly absent minded.

Boot into safe mode. If you don't know how on their computers, just abort the boot process at the windows loading screen. Then there will be an account called "Admin." (only spelled out). Then you can creat a new account called whatever, boot into regular mode, delete the old limited account, excersize a little rename action on the "whatever account", and you are larg and in charge. No one knows, except no_one.

At my school we have Novell, & with Novell you have practically no privileges. Well I misspelled that word... Anyways... The admins. have blocked all command prompts, all control panels and all changes to a comp.'s state get wiped after a reboot. At least on win 98SE and XP, the only 2 OSes we have.
In a moment of stupidity, they blocked all e-mail sites to prevent virii, but didn't block secure login. Oh yeah.

Dang this post is long...

Yeah. Who was the moron who was e-mailing u hate mail, Morgan? I'll send him a code-scrambler virus and tell him that it is the instructions on how to find his program :)

Hahahaha! That's a good idea! :-D Maybe you could try to trace him and then hack him...

Get him to chat with you on AIM, then Direct Connect with him, then snatch his IP (you can usually do this with netstat, or some firewalls record this stuff for you). Then, once you have his IP, have fun. :) Just have to make sure he stays on, in case it's dynamic.

Except for the fact that both people on IM have to approve a direct connection. :-(

Well, when they're typing, send the DC option to them. If they hit space (which they most likely will), they'll automatically Direct Connect. That sounds like a good idea to me. Hehehehe *evil ideas*
I wonder if the angry person is reading all of this right now ;-)
