300: Thanks to a few minutes of programming at the beginning of the period, you finish tests in half the time that everyone else takes.

Applies to me :P That's (one of the reasons) why I always have to write down everything :D
Lol I remember math classes days for me. I usually finished my work/tests before most people (including homework) and ended up coding. I repeated the process in every class except gym and french classes (the later because I always went close to failing and needed to do more effort in reading comprehension).

Thanks!  Good to be back.  The real influencer in my taking the risk of cracking the passwords was that DJ mentioned I would be demoted if I had <20 posts per month x.x
It's 10 actually (in a 30 day interval, meaning a staff wouldn't be able to post 10 times on September 1st then wait until October 31st to post 10 more times). Posts in intro/randomness aren't counted. During July until Mid-August it's 5, though. You appear to get online at least twice in 30 days, though, so I have serious doubts you would have troubles with this given how active you are when you come online. Most of the staff I got usually met this except Nitacku in Early 2009 (who only posted on UTI for some reasons, despite being Omni staff. He claimed we didn't have any interesting discussion :P) and Cooliojazz last Fall. Miotatsu and {AP} always were rigth at the limit :P

On the old board, it was 1 post per month and one visit per two months minimum, at first, but with the 25 staff it became hard to monitor activity and then I decided to be more lax after some complaints about being too strict (at this time, MaxCoderz and UTI were both still very active. They had yet to see what would happen to those site once their staff would almost all become inactive) and made it so they have to show signs of life (including programming-wise_ at least every 6 months. This was a huge mistake, because we ended up always having about 3-4 active staff at a time and in September/Oct 2007, despite still having 20 staff, everytime I checked the online list, there were never more than one connected, besides me. The only time I saw more was when Lost Legends was announced.

330: You are always in #omnimaga channel
331: You got frustrated when your IP was banned by the irc server (not necessarily because of you)
332: If 331 happens you go on crazy frenzy to connect by through a bot in assembly for your calculator (and you remember some time after that you can connect by other hub, proxy, OmnomIRC or as last resource wait for the ban end)
333: You visit and update regularly WikiTI

333 is true about me.
yay halfway for the wanted 666 sign...

334 (referring to #303): You can do the same with Axe tokens.
335: You watch both the σmπσmIRC and Cemetech SAX channels.
336: Simultaneously.
337: You emulate your calculator on your computer, and vice versa.
338: You constantly watch for the 666th and 1337th posts.
339 (referring to #54): When people start getting tired of 25, you switch to 4.
340: When people start getting tired of that, you switch to 3.
341: You have made complaints to Texas Instruments.
342: TI listened.
343: You know that we have already reached our goal six times since 343 is 1000 in heptal.

344. When you need a break from doing homework, you just program
345. You are more worried about fixing a bug in you program than getting your AP scores
346. You hack the code of a calculator game if you can't win
347. You own at least two of every calculator made by Texas Instruments
348. Same as 347, but with HP and Casio
349. You would actually by a Texas Instruments computer because you are addicted to TI
350. You would do 349 in order to drive them crazy by hacking everything they make
351. You use your calculator more during the summer than you do during the school year
352. If TI doesn't answer a simple question that you e-mail them, you keep sending the questoin until they answer it.
353. You delibratly send TI questions you know that the TI reps. can't answer just to laugh at their response (I do this a lot :))
354. TI has ignored several of your legitimate questions because of all of your random questions (This happens to me a lot :)).

I have done this so many times.  I am happy my teacher does not even touch my calculator before or after tests.  She had made me use my TI-Nspire instead of my TI-89 on my final because she knew it could do more math wise, but thanks to a few minutes of programming the night before (radical simplifer, facotring trinomials) I was able to do about 90% of the problems completly on my calc. :)

355: you stick around on the forums and post like crazy even during Summer time when there's no school and weather is nice outside.
356: if you get told to go out, you go hide somewhere and code calc stuff

Despite the geek/nerd I am, I still like to go outside sometimes, though. Some summers, there are a lot of rainy days and we don't see a lot of light during Winter. When I stay inside for too long, I start feeling more down it seems. I generally don't do much stuff outside (I may just go buy stuff or go at a movie), but I still somewhat go out.

Otherwise I am usually on Omni or on my calc, while checking Youtube, Cemetech, other TI sites, ROTJ and LNHQUEBEC forums. :P

358: When you go at a hockey, baseball, football or soccer game to watch your favorite team, you bring your calc with you to code between periods/innings.

(I go to hockey/baseball games sometimes, but I do NOT bring my calc there :P)

I used to do that a lot. I kinda slacked down lately due to activity having dropped considerably, though.
