lol!

Very nice critor!

Maybe that is the same thing making it take so many times for me to install Ndless!

Thank you squalyl for this quick server reinstallation.

Hackspire has been updated from the latest snapshot of Google cache. We shouldn't have lost anything.
If any of you have backups of some articles, please check whether your backup is more recent that Hackspire.

not quite.

and solar flares are not cosmic rays:
-cosmic rays are ultra high energy particles coming from the deep space (supernovas, black holes, etc)
-solar flares are energetic protons and/or electrons IIRC.

most cosmic rays are filtered by the atmosphere.

that's why the Alpha magnetic spectrometer [1] is sent to the space station, and why satellite computers have to be radiation-hardened, but not ours

that was a kernel bug, not a hardware issue.

oh, btw, is ti a linux contributor? Maybe they targeted my server using GnuStuxnet

Btw by cosmic rays, do you mean solar flares in particular? I do not know much about astronomy but I heard those can cause problems with electronics if they are very intense.

I'm not good at astronomy either... But I mean any kind of energetic particles that would come from space and cause small bugs by interfering with the hardware. I don't know much about that, but I know it happens, even though it's quite rare... And as I said, the guy that got these errors really knew his field. But I'm not saying this must have been what happened to your database...
I've been following nspire hacking for about two years now, and I was glad to read about the first ndless. I do need my CAS for other things than playing though, so I can't stick to v1.1... Ndless 1.7 is going to be great :-)

Ah right, thanks for the clarification . Also welcome on the forums

I'm stuck with  the reworked version which doesn't depend on the hot reboot anymore to make the installation more stable.
It works on nspire_emu (crashing sometimes for unknown reasons), but always hang on real hardware (an exception is triggered, probably for other reasons).

Debugging this is really tough. And my RS232 adapter is once again broken, it doesn't help.

This sucks, I hope you can manage to find a solution soon. X.x

Yay, progress!!!
Hope you manage to get your adapter fixed, and find the bug that doesn't let it work on real hardware.

All have a look here : http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9491&view=findpost&p=142596

So on : good night ^^

Nice!
