Title: Howdy
Post by: Dark_Sunrise on October 29, 2012, 10:20:46 am: Hello everyone!

I am a home schooled senior in high school. I live in Pennsylvania, the most beautiful part of the most beautiful country (USA). I own the TI-89T and TI-84+ calcs (and love them to an unhealthy level)

Most people get confused about my handle, so I guess I should explain it... It comes from the Dr.Who poem 'When a good man goes to war' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Good_Man_Goes_to_War)

My hobbies besides calcs and math are: Armored vehicles (WW2/Cold War), Science, Computers, and PC Gaming. My favorite TV shows are Dr.Who and Looney Tunes XD

No matter how good I get at anything I will always be the one to ask the stupid and random question, but once you answer it. I have the whole topic down. ;)

I can't wait to get to know you all! Live long and code! :w00t:

Post by: Dark_Sunrise on October 29, 2012, 10:34:24 am: Sure peanuts are like cheese right? Better the older and moldier?

Post by: Rhombicuboctahedron on October 29, 2012, 10:34:52 am: Hallo!
I don’t want to be nit picky, but you made a little typo. You accidentally misspelled the most beautiful part of the USA as “Pennsylvania,” when you meant to write Texas, or Alaska. :)

Post by: willrandship on October 29, 2012, 10:39:57 am: Anyway, back to OT...

When asking for help, it's generally fastest to go via IRC, but Forums are better when you have a bigger question, or no one on IRC knows. It's also faster than either to search for someone else having the same problem, but we're not like other forums that hate on people repeating questions. We easily have over 200,000 posts here, so searching through them could take a while.

Wait... Right it's not in the USA. Still a province full of beautiful places.

Anyway welcome in here ^_^

Post by: Rhombicuboctahedron on October 29, 2012, 01:59:11 pm: Well, now that I think of it, Texas isn’t actually beautiful. Really, it’s too flat, so you can never see more than 100 ft in any direction, unless you get on a skyscraper, and you see 100 miles in any direction, but all you see is highways and houses.
But it never gets much below 40 degrees (heh, and never much above 110 either)
Alaska is beautiful, with glaciers and mountains, but it is really cold

Post by: Yeong on October 29, 2012, 02:00:15 pm: I think we should stop right here. No more "This place sucks" anymore.
btw, I think DJ_O needs to order more peanuts.

Post by: Rhombicuboctahedron on October 29, 2012, 02:06:02 pm: I didn’t mean to be rude to anyone, and i didn’t really say that any place was bad, but that every place has some undesirable qualities

Title: Re: Howdy
Post by: Rhombicuboctahedron on October 29, 2012, 02:13:53 pm: Well, flat is boring, but hills are annoying, so you can’t get the best of both

You seem a bit confused with your states. I believe you are thinking of Maryland, Pennsylvania is the state just north of Maryland. Marginally beautiful, due to its proximity with the most beautiful state, MD. :P

That said, welcome to Omni!
