I must say, this is one of the most amazing feats of our time. If I could only code as well as this "Nicky Disabato" can I'd be set for life already. It's truly amazing.

The next time you call me "Nicky," I will bonk you on the head with an oversized rubber mallet so that you go crashing through the floor.

Heh, ok Nickie, there, I changed it, now it's not only original, but also exempt from any rupper malleting going on in here. Oh, and btw Nick, I'm sure your program is the best ever written, and will win the POTM just because you wrote it, I would give everyone a first-hand synopsis of the program but didn't feel like wasting, umm, err, hoarding the bandwidth required to download a 1k file, that way other poor saps, err, programmers, can experience the joys of The Great Almighty BlueCalx's programming abilities.

Thanks Nick for brightening my day,
Ron!

It isn't Nickie, it is Nicky.

It's Nickie when you're avoiding being stricken by a ferocious Disabato. But thanks for not reading the post.

Your friend,
Stuart Bergstrom

What about Nicko, or Nicole? :)

Let's hit the brakes on this harassment and give The Great Nick Disabato a break (figuratively, of course)

But harrassment is fun!!!!

When used sparingly and in context, yes, Patty. Alex, or should I say Aley, was a bit excessive in suggesting Nicole as another name for Nick. I just didn't want to see a bunch of people, including myself, waste time and energy in a flame war that would just be deleted, if it made it to the board in the first place.

Well, what's a more appropriate context for harassment than a message board like this one?

The Anarchy Trial message board.

OK, you've thought of one. But posting there is a very bad idea because it would make it take longer for this board to overtake it in number of comments (though we are very very close now).

Incredibly bad idea since this one just passed it by one or two, i think

Much better one: any board that has to do with Napster:] vs. RIAA:P
My guess is flame wars there went nuclear about a week ago.

Maybe someone should just launch a tricobalt device at the riaa website. On a related note, click the link above to support Napster, Scour, and other file-sharing utilities.

Oh yeah, this board kicks butt!

Hopefully they won't get me for inflating the board's numbers ;)

I think i deserve to be able to post as much as i want, it took forever to load this bad boy

And now it'll take a few seconds longer....

I wonder if there is a maximum amount that the ticalc.org message board can handle?

Maybe when it hits 500 the thing will just explode into world wide web nothingness!

Or the board could become so dense that the structure collapses violently in upon itself and creates a cyber black hole and sucks in every page in existence on the web!!!!

Except NickD.org of course, that place has WAY too much pull of its own...

Extrapolated from nickd.org 's history page: It used to be all images and javascripts with little pull of its own, but has slowly shifted to almost pure text, ideas, and gravity.

Thats easy:
Phily, Ronny, Benny, Stuy, and Alex. ;)

Whoops!
Aley ;)

Whatever, Ryey

allright. stop. it's "lexy" and (noting another post in the area here) "rynee" (phonetically spelled so you don't say RYE-N-I. that's RYE-N-E....

I happen to like "Nicky" though. =)

"Xandy" would also work if the guy's name is Alexander.

Actually, Stuie is the more generally accepted obnoxious nickname for Stuart

You talkin' bout me?

hey! Disco Stu don't advertise!

Somehow I'm afraid to listen to that.

Aren't we all...

I would hope so. Unfortunately, there may be a few crazy people who actually would want to hear it.

If I did hear it, I would be in the corner of an anonymous public network, such as my school.

I just remembered that my school's network isn't exactly anonymous, but at least we don't use our id#s to logon. They can still track us down by who checked out the use of the computer though.

Yes. Yes, I was talking about you, rather than myself, since I've never seen you before in my life.

Yeah, isn't that obvious?

I know of noone who refers to themself in a condescending manner.

I do sometimes.

I do also, but only at times such as this when i've been online for hours and have tunnel vision aimed directly at my monitor. Its also the only time that I would consciously admit it.

therefore:
you know someone who does.

unless you are unknown to self.

I don't know myself very well.

Who am I?

I don't know.

Nor do I. It might have something to do with the fact that I woke up about ten minutes ago...

At least you know when you woke up. I don't know that. In fact, I'm not even sure if I ever did.

Huh??? Where am I...?

It doesn't matter. With RANDOM NUMBAR GENERATOR trivial details such as location no longer matter.

That's right! Its able to directly traverse the space-time continuum, eliminating that whole theory about it requiring faster-than-light travel to do that. Now all that we need is for it to generate an unrestricted amount of negative energy to create wormholes:)

Just checked the wormhole hypothesis. It works! I wound up on USS Voyager(NCC-74656) and narrowly avoided a plasma relay next to a Jeffries tube. I guess I made it back okay after that detour through the Borg home sector...

I think this sets a new record for how far over a comment is! It will probably have to cut a long word and put it on two lines, if I could think of any long enough.

People!! Move Over!! You're squishing me!!!

hehe

--Ben

No! I'm more squished than you are!

Wow! On my screen, this comment board actually has to SCROLL, it's so wide!

Comment #497....

Look how skinny mine is!

Mine is worse. i love reading old boards.

What about Stew or Stewie?

Those would be fine nicknames for Stewart perhaps, but that is not, in fact, my name. Mine is Stuart. Thanks though.

I realize that yours is Stuart, not Stewart. I was comparing two shortened versions of your name to homophones of them. It made a lot more sense to me 9.5 hours ago when I posted that. If this explanation seems discombobulated, its 3am and the only things keeping me awake are caffeine, altoids, and my mp3s.

You should try turkey or tuna :)

What is this? Did someone mess up while posting the news? And who is Stewie?

Of course not! Nobody on ticalc.org would ever mess up anything!!!!!

If you haven't realized yet, this is a FAKE NEWS BULLETIN. Dir!

Alf

FAKE?!?? No way, this is the ultimate program !!!!!!!!!!

Was that a FAKE comment?

I certainly hope so, for the sake of its "author".

Nerd Saying: File not found. Should I fake it?(Y/N)

Altoids?!?!? I think RANDOM NUMBAR GENERATOR works better.

HEY!!!!! What the @#$%)(*&^%$#$%^&*^%$#@$%^&*%$ is wrong with Altoids?!?!?!?!
