Miscellaneous / Deciding a Name
« on: February 20, 2014, 12:23:08 am »
I've finally come around to changing the name "Futuristic" in futuristic.bplaced.net/de/network , namely due to the hunt for domain names.  AntKou and I have decided on using a .web extension and having all projects under .app (which link to a .web sub-domain).  However, after days of effort, no name has been decided upon.  What do you guys think it should be called?  Below are some of mine/his ideas, if any of them seem okay:

XENON
Moderic
Chroma
White
Iron
SkyNet (lol)

Seriously though, anything flies.

TI Z80 / Re: Snow Demo

That is actually pretty cool O.o  Almost looks like old TV snow...  If the pixels rotated on an 8x8 buffer with a grid instead of scrolling, it would be a pretty helpful snippet for a lot of Axe Parser games (although I'm sure someone has already done so) :/

Seems slightly strange that some of the snowflakes sort of just get stuck  in mid air. Is this a gif issue or is it meant to be there?

It doesn't seem to get stuck for me...  I think it is a gif issue :)  You might try reloading?  IDK

OmnomIRC Development / Omnom IRC added to blocklist
« on: February 15, 2014, 04:21:55 am »
OmnomIRC has just been added to the blocklist on my school laptop as being under the "anonymous proxy servers content category."  Have any recent changes or posts caused this?  Recently my profile page was blocked as well for being a "social site" (and was labeled to be a domain of Twitter, although this has not happened before)...

TI-Nspire / Re: KJV Bible for the NSpire???

What would be possible to do is use a compression method in ASM - for instance, common words could be translated into a code of some sort such as hex that would allow a lot less memory to be used (most words in the bible are repeated many times).  After that, it would probably go down to about 50-60% of its original size (which is still a lot, if it is possible).  This could be useful for many files, maybe an eBook reader series that uses AppVars?

Humour and Jokes / Re: My Complaint About Eeems
« on: February 14, 2014, 01:50:29 am »
I am going to use this thread as an opportunity to make my complaint about Mr. Rick Roll, who has mercilessly ruined my life and the lives of my children.  The nature and extent of our current national crisis, as well as its causes and cures, are the subject of intense political struggle. I offer this letter as a contribution to that struggle and debate in hopes of helping to show you, as dispassionately as possible, what kind of repulsive thoughts Mr. Rick Roll is thinking about these days. Without going into all the gory details, let's just say that Mr. Rick Roll wants us to emulate the White Queen from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, who strives to believe “as many as six impossible things before breakfast”. Then again, even the White Queen would have trouble believing that serfism is the catholicon for all the world's ills. I prefer to believe things that my experience tells me are true, such as that Mr. Rick Roll has never satisfactorily proved his assertion that divine ichor flows through his veins. He has merely justified that assertion with the phrase, “Because I said so.”

I deeply believe that it's within our grasp to discuss the programmatic foundations of Mr. Rick Roll's materialistic, catty politics in detail. Be grateful for this first and last tidbit of comforting news. The rest of this letter will center around the way that he wants to see a love of gangsterism inculcated in children from a very early age. I challenge him to move from his broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise. I, speaking as someone who is not a dangerous paranoiac, realize that some people may have trouble reading this letter. Granted, not everyone knows what “incomprehensibility” means, but it's nevertheless easy to understand that knowledge and wisdom are Mr. Rick Roll's enemies. He understands that by limiting education and enlightenment, he can fool more people into believing that he can ignore rules, laws, and protocol without repercussion. Sadly, those with the least education are those who would benefit most from the knowledge that it's best to ignore most of the quotes that Mr. Rick Roll so frequently cites. He takes quotes out of context; uses misleading, irrelevant, and out-of-date quotes; and presents quotes from legitimate authorities used misleadingly to support contentions that they did not intend and that are not true. In short, Mr. Rick Roll uses his influence to demonize my family and friends. That's clear. But his vituperations are destructive. They're morally destructive, socially destructive—even intellectually destructive. And, as if that weren't enough, he denies ever having tried to turn our country into a foul cesspool overrun with scum, disease, and crime. I assume he's merely trying to cover his posterior, as the truth is that whenever Mr. Rick Roll announces that his plane of understanding is beyond the realm of human imagining, his groupies applaud on cue and the accolades are long and ostentatious. What's funny is that they don't provide similar feedback whenever I tell them that I have hated every stubborn bucket of tendentious swill ever written by this contumacious, lamebrained moral weakling. So let Mr. Rick Roll call me infantile. I call him unprincipled.

Mr. Rick Roll wants us to believe that “metanarratives” are the root of tyranny, lawlessness, overpopulation, racial hatred, world hunger, disease, and rank stupidity. How stupid does he think we are? That's the big question. If you knew the answer to that then you'd also know why people often get the impression that cheeky sideshow barkers and Mr. Rick Roll's eulogists are separate entities. Not so. When one catches cold, the other sneezes. As proof, note that Mr. Rick Roll exhibits an air of superiority. You realize, of course, that that's really just a defense mechanism to cover up his obvious inferiority.

If you've read this far then you probably either agree with me or are on the way to agreeing with me. Mr. Rick Roll has been doing “in-depth research” (whatever he thinks that means) to prove that he would never dream of insulting the intelligence, interests, and life plans of whole groups of people. I should mention that I've been doing some research of my own. So far, I've “discovered” that documents written by Mr. Rick Roll's yes-men typically include the line, “Mr. Rick Roll is morally obligated to lash out at everyone and everything in sight”, in large, 30-point type, as if the size of the font gives weight to the words. In reality, all that that fancy formatting really does is underscore the fact that Mr. Rick Roll should think about how his publications lead deluded, purblind ochlocrats to test another formula for silencing serious opposition. If Mr. Rick Roll doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps he should just keep quiet.

Mr. Rick Roll claims that it's inappropriate to teach children right from wrong. I respond that all of his hatchet jobs are paralogistic. He sometimes has trouble convincing people that cell-phone towers are in fact covert mind-control devices that use scalar waves to beam images into people's brains while they sleep. When he has such trouble, he usually trots out a few execrable, insufferable grobians to constate authoritatively that one hallmark of an advanced culture is the rejection of rationalism. Whether or not that trick of his works, it's still the case that Mr. Rick Roll's hijinks symbolize lawlessness, violence, and misguided rebellion—extreme liberty for a few, even if the rest of us lose more than a little freedom. So you see, there are a number of conceptual, logical, and methodological flaws in Mr. Rick Roll's stratagems.

Just to put it out there, the US was never, and likely will never, be a democracy. Our government is a representational republic. Now, this system on its own works so long you put the right people into these positions. Most problems with our government arise from the fact it is a very small amount of people representing millions each. But that's beyond the point.
Technically, the United States is a constitutional republic, although representation occurs.  :)  However, considering the current swing towards the far left by the US government and the news media (who might as well be controlled by the government, as it is so biased), you have nothing to worry about.  It's the conservative population that needs to look out.  :/  I think that action should be taken - if you don't stop this monster of a program now, it will grow out of control.  Tracking is done without a warrant (violation of the 4th amendment), and the bills were passed without the knowledge of the American people.  The NSA claimed before Edward Snowden not to have any program involved in data collection, in what I believe was 2010, in a Nixon-like scandal...  The only difference is that nobody cares.  If the 4th amendment means absolutely nothing to the vast majority of the population, and many other amendments that are in the way of the regime's agenda (such as the right to bear arms, the freedom of speech, etc.), then America is screwed - it has lost the very values it was founded upon.

Sorry if I was rude - sometimes I just need to rant lol

Those overseas can sign it too!  Please, do!  The system has been misused and abused. time and time again (such as when it was used by former member to spy on their girlfriends, or if the database is hacked).  Also, the United States government spies on people overseas.  I'm in (notice my avatar and signature).  ^^
