nickd t0t/\11y 0wn3|)
Posted by Michael on 25 August 2006, 22:11 GMT

Today nickd has been dethroned from his position as most prolific ticalc.org news editor. I have now posted my 256th article, thus going boldly into 9-bit territory while nickd languishes at 255 posts like a little assembler boy programmer who's afraid of the carry flag.

Upon learning of this achievement, Michael began to ramble in the third person and promptly lost the balance of his sanity. TAKE THAT NICKD - MY DISCO POLKA LP PWNS YOUR ENTIRE MUSIC COLLECTION. When prompted for comments, Michael rambled about glaciers and Voyage 400 calculators.

One thing is certain though: Now that I hold the all-time news article record, production of nickels is bound to drop as people everywhere refuse to touch the denomination. There will also be UFO sightings in Kansas, Ulaanbaatar, and Seattle.

Update: Someone has released Snakes on a Plane for the TI-89. This is sure to be the POTY.

As the BASIC program that everybody downloads and likes but despises all other BASIC programming, even though the aforementioned BASIC program took the author 3 minutes to create?

The actual origin comes from a 1958 article in the Washington Post by writer Thomas P. Shnickle. Shnickle was writing a satire piece about a social program where the consumer would pay a tax to receive a program that was not yet in existence. He compared the the program to Jack trading his family's cow for some magic beans. The example person in the article used the slang terminology of the day to describe these "cool beans". The article reached its level of fame when it was read on Washington's KCLW radio station and was subsequently picked up by other stations and newspaper articles.

Ease off on the sugar, man...

While we're posting random stuff, I might as well mention that when I saw the front page, there were 42 comments for this article - the 256th article, with 42 comments, 2 important numbers together.

256 is the first number that has to be represented with 9 bits, and 42 is Life, the Universe, and Everything.

w00t!

Actually, I really didn't like the movie. My brother loved the books though. I never read them.

The movie was ok, I guess, but the books were really, really good (they should be, considering they came first).
