this website has gone ballistic.

For me, it's still acting like and old fart that just ran 1/4 mile and is trying to talk to you. I get one word or two every now and then with a LOT of huffing in between.

 

Did I miss anything?

 

The server is trying to solve a math puzzle:

Let a = 1, b = 1

a = b

Therefore

a^2 = b^2

and

(a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab

Divide both sides by (a-b)^2, terms cancel on left

1 = (a^2 + b^2 - 2ab)/(a-b)^2

Now plug in a = 1, b = 1

1 = (1 + 1 - 2)/(1-1)^2

Therefore,

1 = 0 / 0

The server explodes, and has no more cookies.

THE END!

 

Yeah but it too is hanging by, uh, a thread:

2001, A Space Odyssey?

 

Et Tu bisco? So am I.

 

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't post that . . .

 

More audacious.

 

I think the "old fart" I mentioned in post #1321 above just caught his breath. I was just simultaneously awarded site trophies for Addicted X3 and Addicted X5 which are 500 posts apart. I can't type that fast. Must be some back end system routines running finally.

PS, it accused me of being a robot for doing it so quickly.

"1,500 posts! Just by you! Or maybe you wrote a script to have a robot post some of them for you."

The site drags it's own arse and then blames me for it. Typical.

 

This site has consulted with its team of experts and has decided to display an error message until it finishes its coffee. Try again later.

 

The website is revolting!

True in both contexts.

 

Yes. Dying slowly?

 

Thanks for the reminder. New car is only 3 months old. I'm making a note to self to [strike]check[/strike] replace the battery in 4.75 years. If this site still works (unlikely), could you remind me again if I forget? Thank You!

 

Just about to jump the rails again? Or no? Place your bets, lol.
