We're all crawling with disease in the New World.

So who wants me to cough in a handkerchief and send it to our friends overseas ala pox blankets?

Me please me please me please...

I love the use of the word swine. When was the last time you could use that word in serious conversation?

Swine.

Awesome.

You mean other than when talking about five-oh?

Haha. Good call.

I've had a sinus infection for like a week and a half.  Should I self-quarantine?

The viruses contain genetic pieces from four different virus sources...

North American swine influenza
North American avian influenza
human influenza
Asia and Europe swine influenza

I found that interesting.

Pigs who have been eating bird shit...then live exported..breeding or pig to pig transfer...then to human ? hmm. Thats my first guess.

Nah, gov't conspiracy.

The gov owns the meds  ? .. Follow the money.

Pigs are a common host for generating mixed-lineage viruses such as the current one, as they have a sugar combination that allows them to play host to both avian and mammalian viral strains.

Virology is honestly fascinating. The more biology a person learns the more bullshit like creationism falls away. I encourage all interest in biology.

So, If I can't thank god for eitje.... I guess I have to thank the chicken.

Had it not been for "Drug Wars" on the TI-82, I would have gone into virology.  I was specifically interested in bacteriophages.

(The BASIC language on the TI-82 was slightly different from the BASIC used by the TI-85.  So, when a friend copied the game onto my calculator, it didn't work.  I decided to try to fix it, however, which showed me that programming computers was pretty easy.)

Ah the TI-82. I think I may be the only person to have ever completed The TI-82 Legend of Zelda. It was a truly horrible game. I certainly wouldn't have been plying it if I didn't have Orgo to study.

I started using a TI-82 in the 5th grade and have been ever since (TI-83 now) and I'm 24 now.  I can still program on it very well.  Whenever I take math/science courses or work with numbers I always write programs to do the busy work for me so I can just plug and chug faster.

I think the TI-83 is basically the love-child of the 82 (usability) and the 85 (power).

Here's an app you guys will like:

I'll post it in the "free downloads" section as well.
It needs a ROM, but you can find those everywhere, these days.

Nerds.

my husband kinda looks like robert carradine when he doesn't have a goatee.

i had a TI-85. i thought it was NEATO.

Did we really need a third thread on this subject?

OMG SWINE FLU IS GONNA GET US ALL!!!! PANIC PANIC PANIC!!!! THE ONLY VACCINE IS LOTS OF DXM!!!!

the meds suply outstrips the demand in a true pandemic.... so yeah, you might want to panic next week.

This thread is plainly about calculators, danzig.

Plainly? You mean "clearly"? I am teh eitja cannot no speak clean england.

Shut up hip.

What's wrong with "plainly"?

What's wrong with "plainly"?

Google says "nothing".

Although, let me say I enjoyed the fact that Danzig was able to get so close to the edge of incomprehensibility there. Good show in a way.

Now back to the main topic: I had a TI-82 dongle for a while that could be used to dl games. I actually don't know where my TI-82 is at the moment. Good summer project for me.

Fuck the dictionary.
