Umm... that's basically what the "allfiles.zip" one is for.

all files that come out, not all at once... I'll have to do it after summer vacation, though

---
Cd_Slayer

I download the allfiles.zip file then download every interesting or even somewhat interesting or might be needed files i see on the new files list, which i check .5 to 5 times a day.

Also TICALC.ORG----YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE FILES IN THE ARCHIVES ALPHABETICALY OR BY DATE SO I CAN SEE EVERYTHING I HAVENT GOTTEN IF I WAS AWAY!

ACTUALLY ORGINAZABLE BY DATE, SIZE, POPULARITY, AND ALPHABETICALY

amen

Just thought of that... isn't that possible with a good ftp program???

Cd_Slayer

You will be happy to know that at least parts of this has (finally) been implemented. It is now possible to sort by date.
We're going to look into the possibility of the other sorting keys you suggested.

This is not a joke


It is my sad duty to tell you that Laura Thompson was killed yesterday. She was setting off artillery shells when one didn't light. She bent over to see what was wrong and the shell ignited. This may sound like a joke, but I assure you it is not. Laura Thompson is dead! Just don't let what happened to her, happen to you. It wasn't pretty, seeing my girlfriends crumpled body in my arms, her head all but a little stub. She had so much promise, please be carefull with fireworks.

Laura Thompson
7/12/80 -- 7/1/2000

This is not a joke

You're kidding, right?

As much as I'd like to be, I'm not kidding. Laura Thompson is dead.

LIONHEARTED

What kind of artillery shells was she using?! Military grade?!

I DON'T KNOW!!!!! SHE JUST SAID HEY I GOT THESE LET'S SHOOT EM OFF, AND THEY WERE PRETTY KICK ASS, BUT ONE DIDN'T GO OFF AND...

LIONHEART
Sorry if I yelled, but I'm still sensitive.

I, for one, believe you. Please accept my condolences (sp.?) and...*thinks* I guess that's all I can do from here.

Life is change, and they aren't always good ones.
I'm sorry.

If this makes anyone else doubtful, realize that the time zones for both the girl and the guy are the same.

So is mine. But that doesn't prove anything. New Mexico and Colorado are in the same time zone, so what are you trying to prove?

Well, at least it doesn't show that the guy's lying... I mean he still could be but I don't see the purpose.

What does that prove? I live in the same time zone as Nick.

EWW! Get away from me you sick bitch! :)

Uhh..the explosive at the bottom of commercial grade shells is not enough to knock someone's head off. At most, it would knock her out, but not kill her. Even the explosive that shoots the balls of chemicals out won't even do that much damage, unless she was holding it in her mouth.

I happen to have seen many people killed by fireworks here in Louisville, KY! ( By commercial grade explosives) In fact, it happened on my street once.

I meant commercial, like the kind YOU can buy without a degree in chemical explosives and a permit.

a roman candle can kill you and they are sold almost anywhere

Let's see...

I've seen people shot in the head with roman candles, and escape with a burn mark
I've seen people shot in the chest with artillery shells and survive with a burnt shirt.

I know fireworks CAN kill people and have, but sorry, artillery shells don't rip people's heads off.

You mean you've heard other people talk about how they have seen other people do that. That could be false for all you know, your sourse isn't exactly trustworthy.

LIONHEART

Alex, shut up and tell them Laura never existed. In fact, the only reason you "killed" her is beacuse of me.

I posted that last comment because I think it's wrong that one person can make all of you believe that Laura was a real person, and then because he doesn't want to use the name anymore, he makes most people here believe she died. That's kinda heartless, dude.

That comment was out of line. I won't gratify that post with an answer.

LIONHEART

This whole damn thread is out of line. Someone delete it, please.

aww, ain't that cute. I chased him off of ticalc. That was fun.

Boy don't you sound like a wonderful person, I'd love to meet you in some back alley, I'll whoop your ass!

Joe

I don't care if she's real or not, i just wonna argue about the dangers of fireworkz :~)

you may have seen SOME people have that happen but most would be injured severely

If explosives didn't kill people, why would we use them in wars?

In case you're joking, you're sick!
In case you're not... so sorry, she was a nice lassie... and for those sho didn't know, he is/was her boyfriend.

---
Cd_Slayer

Well, I'm not joking. She's dead. Let us look back on the positive things in her life. Like the time I told you[Paulo] that I was her boyfriend and you asked Amalfi if he was availible and he came back with, "Amalfi is, and always will be A MAN!" Yes, Laura touched many in her short existance, and I for one will dearly miss her.

LIONHEART

You had to bring THAT up!
Happens... anyway, I'm better with girls, mind you!

---
Cd_Slayer

Probably better than me.

Eh?... Shaddup! You got no proof, and plus it sounds made up.

Once and for all people

Try and find something else to do with your time.
IF he made it up to get attention then he surely got it.
IF it's true no one is being very supportive of the guy. No one here seems capable of empathy anymore, anywhere. Existentialism (or however its spelled) gains more and more credibility to me almost daily.

I'd strongly recommend that, if you believe him, support him. If you don't, shut up and stop debating him.

I guess now would probably be the time Lionheart steps up and says it's all a hoax, making a fool of me.
It would be better than the alternative....

I wish it were a hoax, I wish I was making this up. But the fact of the matter is I don't like attention, I like to lurk in the shadows. Its my way. And Laura Thompson is dead. I wish I could agree with akadajet or whatever, but sadly I'm not.

LIONHEART

Ok, for one, the story just SOUNDS fake. Plus, 2nd, you havnt brought fourth any proof whatsoever. Like, if you ARNT joking, link us up to the local newspaper's deaths section, I would honestly like to see it.

Send an e-mail to lthompson82@hotmail.com

Do you get a reply? If so, Alex is lying.

You are one sick bastard! Are you some sort of sadist! I don't need proof, she's no longer with us, and I thought that you were entitled to know.

Lionhearted

ALEX.

Listen:

No one believes it anymore. Laura Thompson NEVER existed, it was just your screeen name for a while.

I live in Socorro, New Mexico, where both Alex, and "Laura" live. In the most current edition of the newspaper, there is NO mention of and artillery shell-related deaths in it.
I hope that is all the proof you need.

Woah, after reading this debate I forgot what the survey was about.

Me Too.

In any case, I'm sick of this. Now that Laura (who dragged me into this place) is dead I don't care about this survey board. You guys are dumbasses, especially Akira of HLC. The internet's a big place, I can find a better place. See you bastards around!

LIONHEART

Don't bother responding to this cause I'm gone!

Maybe I should call him.....say I'm sorry for running him off the board.
HEY! Why don't I give you all his phone # so that YOU can call him too! oh wait. no.

besides, the only reason laura was here, was because of me.

How about we you give us YOUR phone number so that we can tell you why its not PC to run people off of survey boards.

Not really knowing what's going on, I'm not too sure about this, but to me you [Akira of HLC] sound a little obsessed to me. As if you've been trying to prove that Laura Thompson and Alexanderthelionhearted are the same people. So what if they are?

Like Akadajet said, it sound a little funny, the whole story, it's just fishy.

Alexanderthelionhearted sounded a little insinsere. If my girlfriend just died, I'd sound a whole lot sadder, and I wouldn't share my pain, my open wound to people in a place like this who can't distinguish the late "Laura" from a line of calculator.

Maybe they are the same people, maybe their not, who cares? "Laura" just kicked off, and Alexanderthelionhearted just said his goodbyes, I hope you guys feel real good yourselves right now.

> as if you've been trying to prove that Laura Thompson and Alexanderthelionhearted are the same people.

O.K. Here's a big one for you.. THEY ARE! I live in Socorro, and, well, I've known alex since he tried to stuff me in a refridgerator in kindergarten(yeah, laugh it out. :)

For whatever relevance that had. Even if he did stuff you in a toy fridge, why would that predispose him to creating fictictious characters in his mind?

JOe

You said that you live in Socorro, well I took the liberty of looking at your local paper's website. www.dchieftain.com and noticed a recent post by "Laura". In fact she must have just posted it by the looks of it. I have included a link to the page. For those of you who live in Socorro all I have to say is.....YOUR PAPER SUCKS FAT ASS!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA! That is incredibly ironic!

I can't agree more.

now we know for a definite fact that he is lying his ass off. on July 6, 2000 Laura Thompson posted a message on the message board at the Socorro News Paper's website about fireworks. whereas on July 2, 2000 Alexanderthelionhearted posted on this message board that she had died. now he has been exposed for what he is....

hmm, i guess it was a conspiracy to get a whole bunch of people all confused so they would post too many messages on a made up subject....

Yup, your lying. Be gone!

<snip>I guess now would probably be the time Lionheart steps up and says it's all a hoax,</snip>

It would be much more interesting if _Laura_ said it was a hoax. However, I doubt that that will happen :(

Actually Akira of HLC was right the whole time, Laura Thompson never existed so she couldn't die, nor could she be born. She never was. The joke's over.

LIONHEART

Ha! Good one. You didn't stop me from using fireworks on the 4th, though.

hmmm
*stands up and waves*
hi, I'm the ass!!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! LOOK AT ME!!

Now let's all debate about why this dude made up an imaginary girlfriend for himself...

-(bit relieved, not really embarassed) Anubis

Maybe because he knew he had no chance of making one in the REAL world!

Look at this e-mail I got from "Laura," five days after her "death."

From: "Laura Thompson" <lthompson82@hotmail.com>

No I won't respond, I am quite dead, and rather mad at Akira of HLC.

Laura
Yes, I'm really dead, will I go back to ticalc.org, no I'm dead.

One word: LOL (ok, it's not word, SUE ME!)

No I'm not dead, I'm simply returning to the nothingness from which I came. Joke's on you!

Laura

Some people. That's just heartless.

Joe

"But I don't want to go on the cart"

What do you mean by "the cart"?

Dude, it's a quote from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

"Listen! You can't expect to weild supreme excetutive power, just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

But I'm not dead yet!!! Yes you are, now get on the cart!
