The drop down menus are so weird. You have to click, hold on, move the mouse over the thing you want, then release the mouse.
In fact, you can still do that. And the first versions of Mac OS required one to do the same thing. There's nothing wrong with it. :)

I was saying that they weren't violating the rules with their phones, only the single person who showed the video.
I can't make a call on the detention though; school policy may vary concerning that point.

I told them that and they said if I keep talking, I will get additional punishment
Among the few things that really piss me off.

will: No reason to take others' phones, though, I would think.
I agree. Get your parents involved; they have more currency than you do. Though they might be unhappy that you watched it (if you did), detention etc. are still uncalled for.

I saw this on ticalc.org this morning at school, and would have posted about it if Omnimaga weren't blocked there. :/
However, it's not very useful for most of us, who don't have a ROM :P
A great achievement nonetheless! :D

Also, it's "nit-picky", not "knit-picky" ;D

The only way to be entirely accurate is to ask you for each of the ~300,000 words in the OED.
I did this a while ago, and have forgotten what I got. Newest result is 23,600.
That places me at ~20 years on the graph here. I fall short of this by 25%. * calcdude grumbles and decides he ought to read more anyway.
DJ, apparently it helps to read, so if you care about your command of English and you have the time, you know what to do :)

Correct. Now go start the programming project you know you've been wanting to do ;D
Edit: @DJ, delete the Spam subforum! :P

ASM / Re: Duplicating Bits in Register A

Nice catch. And a more efficient way to order it, too. I shall have to remember that. Perhaps I thought I had seen "inc hl" instead of "inc h". * calcdude shrugs.

calc84's is broken as far as I can tell because it neglects that when "duplicated" A is two bytes. (You also need to 256-byte align the table.)
A fixed version (which destroys A):
Code: [Select]
ld h,LUT>>8
add a,a
jr nc,$+3
inc h
ld e,(hl)
inc hl
ld d,(hl)
Edit: In general, except for the simplest of processes, look-up tables tend to be the fastest method. (They are also the most space-consuming.)

I'd recommend XChat-WDK over the build that Netham linked. (For one thing, it's much more up to date, the other having been last updated in 2009.)
I tend to use a real IRC client anyway, so this doesn't really affect me.
Good luck with the re-write, Netham.

There seemed to be a problem with Firefox and OmnomIRC involving freezes of Firefox today for me. Disabling OmnomIRC quickly was a work-around for me.
