Still need peanuts?

Enjoy your meal! Would you like a side of lobster?

on the topic of many many questions, what is the Jatol incident that made the 2007 Cemetech statistics inaccurate?

112: The signing key was cracked a few years ago (and led to a whole onslaught of pointless DMCA notices by TI), so if you have the numbers (which are available at Brandon Wilson's website, you can sign a personal third-party operating system for the calculator.
They were actually cracked last Summer. There is a thread on UTI somewhere and some ticalc.org news from shortly after Omnimaga 2009 contest got announced.

70: Okay, I don't really understand this, either (I received three bags of peanuts when I posted my introduction (this included a limited edition The Game bag (thanks for that, though I lost the Game as a result (I just lost the Game again (you probably did too))))). Is this some sort of Omni tradition?
THis is an old Omnimaga tradition started by Spellshaper in 2006. He said to a new member to not forget to grab peanuts at the entrance, then it somehow became a local meme. So much that later that year a peanut emoticon was created, later replaced by the old peanut bag. For some reasons, the tradition was transmitted to the new board in late 2008, despite a 8 months without Omnimaga existing. I guess it helped some members like Art Of Camelot and Speler were still around when we reopened :P

EDIT: Where are these from, anyway?
Those questions were grabbed from a new thread in Randomness called Signs that you are addicted to Omni and calcs :P. He was curious about some of them if they were possible or true and asked in another thread :P

20: DetachedSolutions made a spellchecker called DAWG. Don't know if there's a dictionary, though. It might not even be possible with just 160KB.
21: Similarly, DS made OurWorld, which is a (pretty impressive) world atlas.
112: The signing key was cracked a few years ago (and led to a whole onslaught of pointless DMCA notices by TI), so if you have the numbers (which are available at Brandon Wilson's website, you can sign a personal third-party operating system for the calculator.
135: The Blue Lines of Death trick is a moderately dangerous function where you overheat your calculator's LCD to spill its liquid crystals, which appear blue.
70: Okay, I don't really understand this, either (I received three bags of peanuts when I posted my introduction (this included a limited edition The Game bag (thanks for that, though I lost the Game as a result (I just lost the Game again (you probably did too))))). Is this some sort of Omni tradition?

Only the first two, and they just need to be lowercase.
Here: DAWG
OurWorld

Also you might need the www. at the beginning. Certain sites do that x.x. The worst thing is when the opposite happens. (like TIMGUL in its early days)
