NEW Game

[frost]

773 - now we are making progress. :)

[Dubbya]

774 - Attaboy, spiderbait!

[Martinscholes]

775. Glad it is still alive! :D

[ctabuk]

776 Global Meltdown - Wow, what a roller coaster ride.

[Dubbya]

I win, I win!!!

[frost]

778 - haha, very nice.

[spiderbait]

779 - All will be fine

[Dubbya]

780 - Arrrrgh, matey!

[jabo]

781 happy wednesday

[ctabuk]

782 Half a percent down on base rate and a day early. Well, we are off to London the the London School of Economics for a pow wow with he powers that be.

[frost]

783- I could have sworn it was Friday already.

[ctabuk]

784 It's nearly friday in Japan, but by the time this is read, it may not be. Hope this makes sense:shock:

[TrafficProducer]

785 It's nearly friday in Japan; It's nearly

tomorrow
elsewhere :)

[ctabuk]

786, Funnily enough Kevin Riley just skyped me from Osaka, but he didn't know what day it was, or where he was. He blamed it on a guy named Bushmills - never heard of him :D

[TrafficProducer]

787



but he didn't know what day it was, or where he was


Now, who am I again? O-Yes that's right I'm me, aren't I? :)

[ctabuk]

788 No, you were you yesterday, now you are me. I was me this morning but now its over to you.

[kgun]

David you are prepared for a new "cod war" with Iceland?

To you uninformed, I did not spell the word cod wrong.

I have thought of a competing thread:

Let us count from 1 000 000 to ZERO.

789

[TrafficProducer]

79o

But I thought I was me, so how can you be me when you are you not me, ( you are you), and who is that over there? Is that them..
If you are me, who does that make me, or should I say you.. and what about them? They will become me and I will become you..
Help you/me/them is going madJ

[kgun]

Funny 790.

[kgun]

If I start this new thread counting from 1 000 0000 to zero, may be we can have a party at 500 000?

791

[ctabuk]

792 Cod War, does that mean wearing a codpiece?? Dubbya's borrowed mine. :D

[TrafficProducer]

793

Funny 79o That wasn't me who did that, it was them.. (see above) :)

[kgun]

794.


David more seriously. Our news yesterday told that Grodon Blair would sue Iclandic Banks because so many Englishmen may have lost their deposits in Iclandic banks.
Isn't he very fast?
Since the three banks are nationalized, today that mean suing the Icelandic State.
The State is not bankrupt, because the Icelandic state has a low dept, so it may borrow itself out of the crisis.
Did the English depositors check the bank's terms?

[kgun]

This is 796.

Correct or not? (see above)

Replies to the thread: 773 (http://www.webproworld.com/search.php?searchid=58787#) Hm

so is it really 774?

[kgun]

Then this is 775.

[kgun]

This is 776.

[kgun]

And this is 777

[ctabuk]

Arggggggggggggggggggg KGun - you naughty Norwegian :D

797
you may now do this
798
799


next one breaks into the next batch - Kgun, we eat tadpoles out of the 40 foot Drain here in Lincs,so we are too busy filleting them to bother with COD - we used to have a fishmonger that delivered fish Cash On Delivery

[kgun]

Arggggggggggggggggggg KGun - you naughty Norwegian :D


Yes, as opposed to Google, I admit that I don't control my sub conciousness, so I may be evil. You know, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. (http://www.samueljohnson.com/road.html)

I can not guarantee that I do not hire a hacker to place a counter in this thread. CD without O (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation) is a candidate.

Note: This article may require cleanup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cleanup) to meet Wikipedia's quality standards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style).


... we used to have a fishmonger that delivered fish Cash On Delivery

Yes that may be better than FOB or CIF.

So this is 779 unless there is an error in WPW's counting algorithm.

[jabo]

errr, so what number are we at now?

[ctabuk]

:D 808 - KGun makes me laugh enough without you joing in:mrgreen:

[Dubbya]

792 Cod War, does that mean wearing a codpiece?? Dubbya's borrowed mine. :D

809 - It's a little on the small side!:twisted:

[kgun]

I count by replies.

[kgun]

Let me see.

[kgun]

785 + 1 = 786.

[kgun]

Next time I enter this thread, it is

Number of posts so long + 1 = 787.

[kgun]

788

or cut and paste from Exel

789, ... ,1 000 000 (Note that is a valid mathematical way of listing numbers)

I won. Q.E.D.

[kgun]

809 - It's a little on the small side!:twisted:

Or assuming that is the last valid count:

810, ... , 1 000 000.

Game over.

New game, please.

[dharrison]

kgun you missed out 795 way back there

But more to the point: 811

[ctabuk]

812. New rules KGun, my thread, my rules.;)

I accept that under doubt:roll:

Binary: 1101000000 (most important in the digital age.)

Ternary: 1010211

Qintal: 11312

Decimal: 832

Hexadecimal: 340

http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/converters/hex-to-bin-to-dec.php

So there is a potential for many games. Let ust count binary, ternaty, octal etc. to ...

[ctabuk]

833, Can you imagine the dreams KGun has?? It would make HG Wells head spin :D

[kgun]

834 Who is HG Wells?

Note: I don't live so far away from the North Pole where polar bears are walking in the streests.

How does that Russian and Norwegian bailout of English depositors develope?:rolleyes::cool:;):cry::roll:

This :oops: is for English depositors in Icelandic banks :p:p:p

[TrafficProducer]

835, wait I have to take my shoes of to count on my toes :0

Bubble Burst... Credit Crunch... next Debt Disaster

[ctabuk]

836 Be Happy - What's money anyway?

[kgun]

I understand that you work in real estate, David.


Money
A claim on the central bank.
Legal means of payment.
Bank deposit.
A sheet of paper.
A metal slice.In prisons, cigarettes have functioned as money. Then it is related to trust. It has to be accepted as a means of payment, even if you don't smoke.

In periods of hyperinflation like

Zimbabwe: Inflation Rate Spirals Higher Still (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/world/africa/10briefs-INFLATIONRAT_BRF.html?ref=world)

"Zimbabwe (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/zimbabwe/index.html?inline=nyt-geo)’s inflation rate, already one of the highest in world history, rose from an annual rate of 11 million percent in June to 231 million percent in July, according to official statistics reported by the state media".

money stop to function as a means of payment and a barter economy is introduced until the confidence to the country's monetary system is restored. For those of you that follow Cnn's incide Africa (http://edition.cnn.com/CNNI/Programs/insideafrica/) a barter economy has already taken place there. Foreign currency like USD are accepted as a means of payment though. It is a question of time before Robert Mugabe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mugabe) fall. The question is how bad the economy can get before it happens.

By the way this is post #801 where I am dictated by the rules to count to 837:rolleyes:

[ctabuk]

837 - We used to.

But we've been chewing it over. And I'm writing full time now.

844

And England has the best bailout solution so long.

[TrafficProducer]

845 Plane and simple

[dharrison]

844

And England has the best bailout solution so long.

For once our country has got something right

8 4 6 ;)

[TrafficProducer]

847
Yes and for once our country has got something right . Yes, the USA are now following this idea.

but what about the Taxes to pay for it all.

[kgun]

848

And as far as I know you have taxed short term capital gains before this crisis began.

Now there will be a meeting / seminar regarding the financial industry between Gordon Brown and Jens Stoltenberg (our prime minister from the social democratic pary. He is an economist).

There are some comments in your news, that Brown may go from a super hero to super zero once the real effects / the recession is a fact.

Money are now coming from taxpayers and people that want to buy debt.

Hopefully, they will contribute to overcome the credit crisis. There is no easy road in my view.

Time will show.

849 More good news £100m to retrain axed workers (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20081014/tuk-100m-to-retrain-axed-workers-6323e80.html)

An extra £100 million is to be made available to retrain workers who lose their jobs in the forthcoming economic downturn, the Government has announced.

[ctabuk]

850 - cor, are we allowed to hit wokers with an Axe???

[dharrison]

855 - whatever it is, its made your glasses go purple Dubbya :lol:

[Dubbya]

856 - I see the world like Jimmie Hendrix.

[WickedGoddess]

587-- Just stopped reading vampire books.

[TrafficProducer]

588 I see the world like Jimmie Hendrix.

Jimi Hendrix... So you see in a Purple Haze!!!

[Dubbya]

589 - Though the world looks purple, why whine to the masses, just because I don't have rose coloured glasses?

[dharrison]

860 - You guys get distracted by the slightest typo :lol:

[WickedGoddess]

861--hey it's Friday already!! yadda yadda!!:D

[ctabuk]

862 A weekend break - arm or leg? Cannot decide

[Dubbya]

863 - Ctabuk, What are you thinking??? The leg, man, go for the leg!!! You need your arms to write novels and, more importantly, to play guitar!! ;)

[kgun]

This post is #829, but I have to count to 864 and not to 468.

1881 is ... read backwards. It is an important telephone number here. Don't call from abroad. It will cost you at least NOK 10.

[Dubbya]

865 - Kgun, with all the thinking you do, the temperature inside your cranium must be higher than that of most men alive.

[kgun]

866 and post #831, but I have one brain cell and now it is on a short term holiday.

Today McCain fired all his advisors and employed Joe The Plummer(s) :-)

[Dubbya]

867 - How many brain cells does one person really need anyway? I have two and that's one too many to keep track of.

[ctabuk]

868 Wots a brain cell?

[Dubbya]

869 - I'd lend you one but I need mine.

[ctabuk]

870 - I have found a simply splendiferous brain cell. I can now write in terms so reminiscent to the classics such as The Beano or Topper or even as Dan Dare in the Eagle. I am so bleedin' 'appy:D

[dharrison]

871 - My one remaining brain cell is close to expiring so I thought i'd get my counting in while I can still function.

[TrafficProducer]

872 Wots a brain cell?... well mine is just under my big toe :)

[WickedGoddess]

873--Well, speaking of brain.. I think I forgot to bring mine today.

[ctabuk]

874 - I have the brain of a famous scientist - bids begin at $4

[TrafficProducer]

875--Well, speaking of brain.. I think I forgot to bring mine today.

Hu:) I've just lost mine when I cut my toe nails:0

I need some more so my bid $4.001 (bids begin at $4)

[ctabuk]

876 - You have won - to collect your prize travel to Grantham and visit the Cemetry ask for Issac Newtons grave and tell them 'David sent me' and wink alot. They will hand you a sack and in it you will find a pretty gory mess. Place in your ear (either one will do) and push in.

[dharrison]

874 - I have the brain of a famous scientist - bids begin at $4

877 can we not Barter? Your brain in exchange for mine? Mines younger with minimal damage. ;)

[ctabuk]

878 That particular brain has been sold - but I have a spare. Meet me in Lovers Lane tonight at 11.33pm - I won't be there, I'll be fast asleep. But the excercise will do you no harm.

[Dubbya]

879 - Lover's Lane? Which way to the end of the line?

[ctabuk]

880 You take a left at interstate33 then cross over the main line at junction 47 - No, hold on, that's at 49, No, that will bring you out 300 miles short. Sorry, you can't get there from where you are.

Issac Newton, was skiving under a tree when he thought of Gravity.

Archimedes of Syracuse: The Discovery of Archimedes' Principle (http://www.juliantrubin.com/bigten/archimedesprinciple.html), while skiving in the bath..

We all should take a break...

[Dubbya]

882 - Maybe I'll just watch with Google Earth..

[ctabuk]

883 - do you think if I ask my wife very nicely that she will agree to trying the Archimedes’ screw. in the bath?

[TrafficProducer]

884 - do you think if I ask my wife very nicely that she will agree to trying the Archimedes’ screw. in the bath?

Don't know about that... but she may play with your Newtons Balls (http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~scdiroff/lds/NewtonianMechanics/NewtonsCradle/NewtonsCradle.html)

Keep it clean :)

[ctabuk]

885 - That thing got me into a whole heap of trouble at school. We tried to experiment using first year 'volunteers' - swinging by their feet banging heads. Waste of time. Teachers called it 'unsporting' it was when I cut the rope and said 'Did someone say unsupporting'. that the trouble began. Science projects!!!

[Dubbya]

886 - Ctabuk's still up to his ol' trix.

[TrafficProducer]

887... Wupee it's a new Forum page.

[Dubbya]

888 - Still payin' the freight.

[dharrison]

885 - behave yourself you two. ;)

[Dubbya]

891 - Naughty, Naughty!


Bedroom eyes, they undress me, take me, cut me to the bone
Lace and satin pressed against me, should we call a chaperone

Don't tell me "I don't wanna be a girl like that"
Do you wanna see a grown man cry
You don't wanna be a girl like that
Baby this could be the first time (this could be the first time)

892-- lol @ David.. you really humor me:cool:

[lspence]

893 - Let's Party

[TrafficProducer]

894, even numbers

[ctabuk]

895 - I sometimes feel I have a tarnished image. I self edited because my Granny did actually have a cold remedy that worked. And I was going to offer her it, yes it does involve some body contact, but purely platonic. You simply get a fur and silk double sleeping bag. And go to remote spot in the polar circle. My granny used to wrestle polar bears and that's how it came about. And Guys, you know me! I would never make anything untrue up. You roll around in the snow, climb into the sleeping bag, undo the bag with the caviar and the Moet Chandon and before you know it the cold has gone. There has been no charge for this remedy.

[Dubbya]

896 - A farmer I used to work for once told me of an old family cold remedy that purportedly worked every time.

The patient was to lie down in bed under a wool comforter with their feet sticking out from under the covers, whereupon a cowboy hat would be placed on them.

The patient was given a bottle of whiskey and told to drink until the hat turned "fuzzy". This having occurred, the blankets would be pulled up under the patient's chin and they would be left to sleep until morning.

While this didn't cure the cold, the resulting hangover would usually cause the patient forget all about it.

[ctabuk]

897 I think I jest tried itand I'm not feelin' too well

The rooms all gone funny, an' I can't type straightHIC

[TrafficProducer]

898,
You roll around in the snow, climb into the sleeping bag

I seem to remember hearing this cure somewhere before... (well that is to roll in the snow)

I've beein told if you'r going camping and you are cold to put your feet in cold water for a while.... this keeps you warm all night, (all by yourself, arr).

P.S. I've never tried it so cannot say if it works or not :)

[Dubbya]

899 - But then again, even if soaking your feet in cold water doesn't work, you're sure to enjoy the most delightful hallucinations, resplendent with warm cast iron stoves, snow white tablecloths, delicious roast goose with apple and plum stuffing, a magnificent Christmas tree, Shooting stars and if you're lucky, maybe even a dead grandma!

Yay, hypothermia!!:lol:

[TrafficProducer]

900 (What already 900)

delightful hallucinations... I was tripping listening to Jimi Hendrix yesterday... Yes I'm a fan.

[ctabuk]

901 - Tripping out - we did that alot at school. Whipsenade Zoo, London Museums All innocent fun. Until Teacher said, 'Now David, I have cooked you some very special mushrooms'. I was only eight, and I had not meant to have poured sugar in his petrol tank. So I went along with it and duly ate the mushrooms. And have been a .....





Wait for it..........................

[TrafficProducer]

902... (Whipsenade Zoo, London Museums)

So from summy England are you... So am I....


I thought everone on the Internet was from the good old USA!!! Seems like it sometimes....

It's not a bad thing as such but I''d like to see more UK sites.

[Dubbya]

903 - I'm not from the UK, I just spell like it. Same horse, different colour.

[Martinscholes]

Aha! 904!
Porche or an area ccde? ;)

[TrafficProducer]

905, I was talking about the UK to ctabuk, where it is often summy but not very sunny

[ctabuk]

906 We art in deepest Winter. Gordon Brown intends to spend his way out of recession. I asked him how?

David ' Prime Minister, it is widely announced that you intend using £500 Billion of tax payers money to 'buy your way out of recession, how do you intend to do this?'

GB 'Well, actually David, we have already hit a snag'.

David 'May I enquire what the snag is Prime Minister?'

GB. 'Ladbrokes would not take the bet in the 3.30 at Kempston. At 12 to 1 all our problems would be solved'.

[Dubbya]

907 - I'd have placed those odds at, not 12, but 11.

[ctabuk]

908. Hmmm, methinks Dubbya's been at the meths once more. Still it keeps his spirits up.:D

Imagine being wealthy enough to put a One million dollar or pound bet on, and not worrying if you lost.

[TrafficProducer]

909 take the bet in the 3.30 at Kempston. I'm not a gambler, so I don't know this but I thought you had a choice of paying tax on the bet or paying on the winnings.

If the Gov paid on the bet and then fiddled the figures as they do with all figures we would all be quid’s in.

Maybe they should cash in all the Lottery winning emails we get... that would sort it out :)

[ctabuk]

910 That's the most intellegent post you have ever made:D:D:D:D (Sorry, could not resist it)

[Dubbya]

914 Yes - but we are happy;) Looney perhaps, but happy:D

[Dubbya]

915 - Shhhhh!!!! Nature study in progress! I'm searching for the illusive Norwegian Algebraeus Expoundicus.



Why I like the number fifteen:
Fifteen is a triangular number and a hexagonal number, a pentatope number, and the 4th Bell number.

Fifteen is the double factorial of 5. It is a composite number; its proper divisors being 1, 3 and 5. With only two exceptions, all prime quadruplets enclose a multiple of 15, with 15 itself being enclosed by the quadruplet (11, 13, 17, 19).

15 is also the number of supersingular primes.

Source: 15 (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15th)

916 Your search - Norwegian Algebraeus Expoundicus. - did not match any documents

Oh Great Dubbya, where shall we start searching Master?

Do you think McCain's had his chips? McCain - It's all good (http://www.mccain.co.uk/) :)

941 and delivered with aplomb! ;)

[Dubbya]

941 - Has CNN declared a winner yet?

I've been harassing my wife all morning. With all the US television she's been watching, she knows more about Obama and McCain than she does about our own Prime Minister. I have to keep reminding her that we're Canadian and don't get to vote in US elections.

It's been a long arduous campaign for me. It'll be nice to turn on the morning news and hear about something else for a change.

943 As the Bachelors once sang 'I believe for every drop of rain that falls - someone gets wet'

I think J McCain will be nursing a very bad headache for the next week or two.

[Dubbya]

944 - Just a few more days of election coverage before we return to regularly scheduled programming.

[ctabuk]

945 We interupt this thread as our roving reporter Dubbya is with President Bush 'Nayna, nayna, nanya'.

We will of course campaign for his early release.

[Martinscholes]

946:

A statement from John McCain: "Thank God! Oh, thank God!! Sarah Palin isn't going to be my vice president! Oops. did I say that out loud?":D

[Dubbya]

947 - Bush? Bush who? Isn't he vacationing in an Afgani cave with his notorious pen-pal Bin Laden?

[frost]

948 - Rock on everyone.

[Martinscholes]

949. Oh! This is SO exciting! This'll keep us busy for YEARS! :D

[Dubbya]

950 - Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...

[jawn_tech]

951

Happy b-day to dubbya... (ya son-of-a-gun!)

:p

[Dubbya]

952 - Thx Jawn_tech!

I got a lovely "Tender Thoughts" card from the gang here at the office. The amended caption on the front reads "Because You're Mean So Much"

If they think I'm mean at 42, just wait until I get to be Ctabuk's age! I'll be intolerable! :shock:

Getting to be ctabuk's age is like getting to the speed of light. It's relatively impossible...

932 Well you guys get to vote soon . I look forward to being President Castle

Why not the the web's forum posters president?

In some years digital castles will be stronger than any physical castle;)

[Martinscholes]

Oh, let's see... 957. Hurrah!

Happy birthday, Dubya. You are but a child. ;)

[ctabuk]

958 - Well I had my annual check up at the Doc's - they bury me on Thursday.

[Martinscholes]

Here we go with 961.. That's 961 :)

[WickedGoddess]

962= feeling sleepy and week like usual:)

[ctabuk]

963 I have a cure for that. Well, I can dream can I not;)

[jabo]

964
suddenly, I feel like drinking...

[ctabuk]

965 What at midnight?

[Dubbya]

966 - Better to start at midnight than at 8:00am...

[ctabuk]

967 How about starting at midnight and ending at 8 am?

[Dubbya]

968 - Been there, done that... Makes for a very miserable day...

[TrafficProducer]

969 ... It's getting closer...

It's getting closer...

It's getting closer...

It's getting closer...

It's getting closer...

[ctabuk]

971 then only 999,000 after that

[spiderbait]

972 - back to you

971 then only 999,000 after that, easy :)

[jawn_tech]

974

The highest I've counted in years.

[ctabuk]

975 I'm going to break the forum rules. You probably know that the mods have their own section here, but we cannot divulge any info from it! Well, I'm going to. Jawn_Tech is putting up a new pic. So get your enlargers and dartboards ready.

[jawn_tech]

976

uh oh... it takes being 'targeted' to a new level. Maybe I'll put a pic up of a thanksgiving turkey.

[ctabuk]

976 George Bush had a photo taken of him with a turkey. I added a quote 'I don't care who takes over, just protect this American Eagle'


http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/ctabuk/AMERICANEAGLE.jpg


I would never throw darts at the picture of my old friend Jawn.






Mud pies, perhaps:D:D:D

[Dubbya]

977 - Is that the state bird?

[jawn_tech]

978

I think it's the tradition of the annual presidential 'pardon' given to a turkey on thanksgiving.

But they never seem to say what crime the bird was charged with. Do they?

[Dubbya]

979 - That bird is on it's way to Disneyland to serve as the Grand Marshall in the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Seems only fitting that Bush would think this a great idea.

I'm sure that US citizens who can't afford a hot meal can see the humor in flying a turkey to Disneyland. Yet another shining example of US tax dollars hard at work.

President Bush Pardons A Real Turkey, White House Bird Will Serve As Parade Marshal, Not Thanksgiving Dinner - CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/22/thanksgiving/main2206303.shtml)

988 Hi from a cold cold cold Lincolnshire. Brrrrrrrr

[Dubbya]

989 - It's cold here too but I'll not whine.

[jawn_tech]

990

I try not to whine but today I have to. It is COOOOLD! We got way too much snow, and it's not stopping anytime soon (http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USPA0509?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared)...

[ctabuk]

991 Well I love cold wine

994- 6 posts to go yay!!!!:P

[jabo]

995
this thread is still alive and kicking eh.. how long has this been up

[TrafficProducer]

996 Sing "5,4,3,2,1" :)

[ctabuk]

997 There were three in the bed. Ooops

[dharrison]

998 Oo this bit is getting exciting ;)

[TrafficProducer]

999 two's company, three's a growd...

Dare you post the 1,000

[dharrison]

I dare: 1,000

:razz:

I have no fireworks but pop, bang, whizz, fizzle, crackle, ... etc.

[ctabuk]

There were 1001 in the bed and the middle one said.............

[jabo]

1002

are we there yet?

[ctabuk]

1003 Very nearly - August 3rd 2067 is the closing date

[Dubbya]

1004 - Let's all post some more.

[TrafficProducer]

1005
I remember the advert;
1001, “One Thousand and One cleans a big, big carpet for less than half-a-crown”

Are we there yet? only 1,000,000-1000 to go

[ctabuk]

1006 Bloody heck,someone as old as me. Half a crown, real money.

[TrafficProducer]

1007 Half a crown, real money... it's all Down Hill from now.

Half a crown= 2 shillings and 6 Pence (Old money) That's... I think about 12 new pence

I think one pint of beer cost about 1'11" One shilling and eleven one pennys back then (The good old days)

[Dubbya]

1008 - I hate to wait and I'm seldom late.

[jawn_tech]

1009

By my figures it will actually take 1500 years, at our current rate, to count to 1 million.

Here's the formula (correct me if I'm wrong -- math never was my strong subject!) :

G = Goal (1 million)
C = Current count (rounded to 1,000)
E = Elapsed time to achieve current count (rounded to 1.5 years since first post)
T = Total time it will take to achieve G (in years)

(G / C) * E = T

I also estimate that if we pick up the pace and have 10 posts per day, we can shorten it to 274 years (from today).

[TrafficProducer]

1010

I hate to wait and I'm seldom late. or I'm seldom late because I hate to wait...

How long... 1500 years...
Your maths asumes the same speed of counting all the time :eek:

Will the Internet exist then?

[jawn_tech]

1011

I actually think we can pull it off much much sooner...

We can do it in 14 years if we have 200 counts per day.

R = Remaining posts to go (999,000 rounded)
D = Daily count rate (200)
T = Total years left

(R / D) / 365 = T

[Dubbya]

1012 - Into the fracas I shall delve.

[TrafficProducer]

1013 We can actually do it in 14 years if

Repeat, will the Internet still be here? :rolleyes:

[SIA]

1014 Yay

[TrafficProducer]

1015 the maths above dosn't take into account of Moore's law (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GEUA_en___GB296&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=moore%27s+law&spell=1)

What date will Burn-Out occur

[WickedGoddess]

1015... yikes are we counting for 100000???

[ctabuk]

1016, no, more than that. We've reached 113,000 over at my place.

[dharrison]

1017 yes David with a bit of cheating/typos :lol:

[Dubbya]

1018 - buy who's counting?

[ctabuk]

1019 ME cheat?? Oh the shame of it:rolleyes:

[SIA]

1020 Beginning to think you were right on the thirty year mark, lol

[jawn_tech]

1021

TrafficProducer -- if the 'net ain't around by the time of our estimated finish, I bet we'll still continue counting together on its replacement. Maybe face-to-face on the holodeck of the starship Enterprise.

ctabuk -- maybe we should have the newsbot resurrected to joint the fun!

[Dubbya]

1022 - Heerz lookin' a choo!!

[SIA]

1023 fingers cramping for anyone else yet?

[Martinscholes]

I think we went back one!

Is it 1023 or 1024, now? :D

[jabo]

1025 TGIF guys... what are you all up to this weekend?

[ctabuk]

1026 My wife has my weekend planned. But my tunnel is nearly finished. :D But it's cold out there, I'll hang on until spring.

[Dubbya]

1027 - Grey Cup weekend! Go Esks!

[ctabuk]

1028 I hope they win. Don't know what they do mind you, but if they are called Esks it must be something to do with eating Whalemeat sandwiches. Whalemeat again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know whalemeat again, some sunny day.

Did you know that Captain Ahab ate whatemeat and blubber? Frankly so would I.
