Some of you probably noticed that the website sometimes loaded slightly slower as of late and that #omnimaga IRC bots seemed to be less stable. With the help of Netham45 and gCn (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5754), an unscheduled experiment was done with OmnomIRC and the post notifier bot, in an attempt to take fewer resources on his server: running them directly from two calculators.
Unfortunately, the experiment proved to be unsuccessful, as when a new post was made, the TI-84 Plus that hosted the post notifier bot responded with a denial of service attack on our web host.
Fortunately, the calculator power was not enough to cause site downtimes, so people simply had slower loading times. Hopefully in the future such experiments will generate more success, especially with the possible addition of USB support through Kerm's software. We hope that KermMartian eventually adds gCn compatibility for the TI-85, however, as these calcs are much more resistant than newer ones.

That's actually kinda funny. A DoS attack by a calc. I don't think even most people in the Ti community could have though of that.
Still, it's good that the IRC is back up.
-
If only we had tens of thousands of calculators connected to gcn ... so ... much ... power...
-
We could make a supercomputer out of thousands of TI-83+s lol. Why not cracking some Nspire keys with them?

Because that wouldn't be effective with 10s of thousands of normal computers.
DDos from a calc would be interesting, though.

Wut? I thought Omnimaga still ran off a TI-81? :D

Really, it should be 32,768 times as awesome. (Prizm - 65536 colors divided by 8x - 2 colors

meh, details. Luckily the prizm fully supports the IPv6 protocols as well as IPv4.

Actually, it doesn't support flash. Some kinda licensing detail. Oh well, I mean who uses flash? :thumbsup:

The new staff has the same color name as false news O.O What can it mean!!??

Lol I just realized that. Well... actually they're darker, but they're close to fake news color on the original HTML site (which is a bit more red than now).

But if there's no flash, we can emulate the 83+/84+ flash apps :P

He meant Flash as in Macromedia/Adobe Flash, not the calculator Flash ROM. :P
-
Yeah, I know :P
That's why I used a :P. :P

On a off-topic note, where did you get Ndless 2.1 Silver Shadow? I though the current source was 2.0? O.O
-
I just like to call it that since it works on OS 2.1...
PS: Don't forget the :P

Lol ok. :P
