That's supposed to be PI (3.14159265). Pie is a dessert.

Perhaps they have heard the complaints about the decimals and are playing a joke?

However the pi came about, we have only "2" more "reasons" to go.

unless we see a 1.125 or something.

Since the XP isn't scheduled for release until Monday, 3/22/03, I presume there will be 3 more reasons added to the list this week... Rolling Eyes

3/22?

Nah. They said the middle of the month. Assuming that they keep that, and they are more likely to as it is not specific. it won't be released until 3/30.

Why 3/30? Easy. It's that last part of the middle of the month.

If the 1st & the 31st are the beginning & end, everything else left over is (by definition) the middle, as it is between them.

Just frustrated.

Thanks, Mystlander, for the linky and the update.

I rarely get back over to the Uru forums anymore. I got so tired of all the whiners pitching a fit over stuff. Even still, in the 4 pages I read of the thread announcing the date of the X-Pak, there were too many folks complaining that they had to wait and questioning the ability of the game coders.

It bugs the stuffing out of me that there are so many selfish people making demands of something that is ultimately coming at no cost to them.

So yeah... I hardly ever get back over there. Whiners make me cranky. No whiners here tho... just a bunch of cool froods who really know where their towels are at! Laughing

Reason 1.75: Uru "To D'ni" will be the pinnacle of civilization, with amaz...

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy wrote:

It was a long time before anyone spoke.
Out of the corner of his eye Phouchg could see the sea of tense expectant faces down in the square outside.
"We're going to get lynched, aren't we?" he whispered.
"It was a tough assignment," said Deep Thought midly.
"Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"
"I checked it thoroughly," said the computer, "and that is quite definately the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."

"But it was the Great Question! The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything," howled Loonquawl.

"Yes," said Deep Thought with the air of one whosuffers fools gladly, "but what actually is it?"

A slow stupefied silence crept over the men as they stared at the computer and then at each other.

"Well, you know, it's just Everything...everything..." offered Phouchg weakly.

"Exactly!" said Deep Thought. "So once you do know what the question actually is, you'll know what the answer means."

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another which states that this has already happened

anyway...about the 3/22. How long will that be official before it's pushed back again?
