Hey Nick! Can I get on the beta tester list for your next version?

In one way or another, we're all gamma testers for everything.

"beta" is a meaningless word, just like "release", "stable", "working", etc.

I thought it was Latin for "still doesn't work".

Not to people that don't know Latin.

...nor to people who do know latin*.


*disclaimer: ß ('beta') is the second letter in the ancient greek alphabet

Bah!

hmm, someone is quite full of himself now ;P

Mike Knapp Releases a Report to the Public About How Egocentric Nick Disabato is -- Written by Mike Knapp

I wish I could write news articles about myself too ;)

You obviously fail to see the true meaning of this news item.

WOW. Fake news gets more comments than real news. What's next? TI releases a fake calculator and it becomes their best-selling product :)

It would at least have an SDK, unlike the 68k calcs!

but there is 68k sdk

I'd like to point out something that no one else has noticed: Nick is holding up a TI-89. I'm a detective this is how I know. I also used the Number Random Generator to solve this problem (so I killed the name -- who cares?)

Actually, other people have noticed that; read some of the above comments.

Sorry, I forgot the <SARCASM> tags. My bad.

It's always very important to use those!

Gah! I had my house number stored in B, and the program erased it! How will I find my way home now?

"Probably misses his old glasses."

Let Random Numbar Generator be your new home.

If you want cool news, what would you say if I told you that I'm secretly developing TI-Chef for the TI-86 in ASM!

The first version might possibly include three awesome recipies!

KEWL. MY T3 SITE HAS 80 GB OF PR0N AND WAREZ, I WILL GIVE YOU THE PASSWORD AS SOON AS YOU MAIL ME THE CHEAT.

the cheat it type in "B" as the number

I think this cheat is just a fake cheat, designed to trap you; instead of killing you instantly, though, it waits a while so it can identify all of your family and friends and kill them also.

I think you're a little confused. The program *already* knows who your family and friends are. It just waits in order to torture you, kind of like death row.

Yeah, I knew that. I just posted the above to try to fool everyone else into falsely hoping there was something they could do to avoid the program's destructive power.

Compman32386 beat me to divulging the cheat, but with the help of Nick's program, I got the pr0n and w4r3z by going to pad.calc.org and letting Nick's program do the rest. I have two conjectures for how it did it.
1. The WFRNG psychoanalyzed the html and came up with the password and then fetched the pr0n and w4r3z, then stored them on the single floppy disk I had in my computer.
2. Paddy's page is actually a compressed form of the pr0n and w4r3z. Paddy's copy of the WFRNG compressed the pr0n and w4r3z by 99.999988%, more efficiently than the previously-thought-optimal Huffman algorithm, and made it meaningful to boot. Then my copy decompressed the pr0n and w4r3z. I'm only surprised that the WFRNG didn't compress the pr0n and w4r3z to a single bit.

Actually, the true method is more complex than either of those. Unfortunately, it is too complex for me to understand it myself, so I can't explain it here,.\
