Congrats to Rusty, VTI is great! I use it all of the time.

Now off topic; does anybody know what to do to binary numbers to mirror them? like:

from
00000001 (1)
to
10000000 (128)

from
00000010 (2)
to
01000000 (64)

from
00000011 (3)
to
11000000 (192)

Anyone?! I can't seem to find any logic in this... The numbers are familiar, but I don't know!

I don't have time to write the code, but I can give some hints on maniplating bits. To read the nth bit of a number, AND it with 2^n, and if the result is 2^n, the bit's a 1. To set the nth bit as a 1, OR it with 2^n. To set the nth bit as a 0, AND it with (255-2^n). The range of bits for those manipulations is 0 thru 7, with 0 being the smallest digit, 7 being the largest.

hey, thanks a lot, seriously!
I'm gonna try to work on that, when I eventually have a routine for that I think I'll upload the source or something.
Thanks :D

Hmm. This is the third time my TI89 programs have been LOST... I submitted my font editor more than a month ago, and all that pops up in 13 days is 3 TI89 programs. none of them mine. Confused??

Yeah, but you sent it to calcsoft, so people can get it there.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE LORD_NIGHTROSE'S FONT EDITOR PROGRAM GOTO CALCSOFT.TK

There you go :)

Thanks :-)
I'm also currently working on a program that reads through a tokenized program and ... detokenizes it into a list. Just a way for me to learn about how data is stored in variables, really. And it's helping.

That is definitely *not* a plug for your site, but it is a good site, just not looking, but lots of info, and easy to use.

>>> That is definitely *not* a plug for your site
What do you mean by that?

And yes, I do think it is a nice site LOL (I'm a programmer in it too :P) That's how I knew the font editor thingy was in there.

It was sarcasm. That was a plug for calcsoft, sort of, don't ask, I don't know what I was thinking.

Hehe... I've taken it upon myself to back up the ENTIRE TICalc.org file archive on my computer. I said to myself, "I have a spare 40GB... why not?"

not that that's how big it is. So far I only have the TI-85 section done, and thats only ~25MB. I get the feeling that the Windows, Linux, TI-89, and TI-83+ sections are going to be HUGE, though.

Ah, well. Wish me luck, all.

OK, done. It's 628 MB. Not NEARLY what I thought it would be. I'm eventually going to copy all the HTML, too... check it out at http://www.bugstew.net/ticalc/ or the link above.

People are stupid (I think).

501st post!!!

Way to go. You managed to annoy us in 2 ways at once.

Shut the hell up u stupid bitch.

Of course. But only you.

Y R SO RIGHT!

An interesting tale of woe:

augrad: I just woke up :-p I was up until about 6:30 AM fixing my comp
rctparrothead: lol
augrad: whenever I ran a 16-bit windows program (which included some of the linking software and a bunch of setup programs) I got an error telling me that the 16-bit Windows subsystem files were corrupted
rctparrothead: hm... rctparrothead: XP hates 16 bit
augrad: yeah. well. the thing is... I had to reinstall XP at one point
rctparrothead: yeah
augrad: and I copied the system files from Windows .NET to XP
augrad: and it didn't like that
augrad: even though it SHOULD work...
augrad: so last night I reinstalled XP... as a new install... after backing up my entire registry and user stuff
augrad: I reimported the registry again
rctparrothead: ok
augrad: and when I restarted it, Windows was in 8-bit color... and neither my USB mouse or keyboard worked
augrad: or anything else for that matter
augrad: so I had to reinstall AGAIN
rctparrothead: holy B'JESUS!
augrad: and that time I opened up my registry backup and cut & pasted chunks into separate files
rctparrothead: hm
augrad: like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software was in one...
rctparrothead: ok
augrad: so I just imported that, and EVERYTHING works.
augrad: which makes me a happy monkey
rctparrothead: yay
augrad: wiigii!
rctparrothead: w00t!

Interesting

In a totally unrelated matter...

is it me or did all of the recent uploads links on the main page disappear. some sorta upgrading or something going on?

P.S. Anyone know the link to the VTI site? They aren't at corusoft-solutions.com (i believe that was their name) anymore...it'd be nice also to know when the next version would be coming out...

chemoautotroph

Definition: An organism that uses inorganic chemicals to provide the energy they need to obtain carbon from carbon dioxide.
Examples: Bacteria such as Methanosomonas, Hydrogenomonas, Nitrosomonas, and Thiobacillus are examples of chemoautotrophs.

Related Terms:

autotroph

heterotroph

Related Topics:

Energy flow in ecosystems
Organisms fall into one of three groups--the photoautotrophs, chemoautotrophs, or heterotrophs--based on the method by which they obtain carbon from their ecosystem.

Ok, Why the hell did you state that? If it was intended for me, I already knew that (I've taken AP Biology), and if it wasn't, WTF!?

I asked you what it was before, and I never got an answer. So... there.

Um, I didn't see that before, but oh well. Word about your "Text" command dilemma, ask TI WTF is up, they might have some input on the problem.

I asked about three weeks ago, and haven't gotten a response. DAMN YOU TI, YOU DAMN DIRTY APES!

What's TI mail, I can't find it
