Title: /whoami
Post by: Ribose on March 25, 2008, 10:35:36 pm
I am Ribose, using Firefox 3 on Windows XP.

I've been around on Battle.net and places and I met Joe, and wondered what x86 was. So later I saw a link to this site (in his signature from StealthBot.net IIRC), and said, hey why not.

So I've been poking around here recently! Hi all!

Do you have something against 6-carbon sugars? Do you enjoy glucose? What are your thoughts on ATP? What's your PIN? Fermentation or aerobic respiration? Do you have something against deoxyribose? By extension, do you prefer RNA over DNA?

Microbiology makes normal people (what I used to be, by definition) crazy.

Hah, man, you own.  It's awesome to hear nerdy talk that isn't math/CS.  I hear it so much I'm starting to consider it drivel if it isn't especially entertaining.

I need to add a new question to the new user thing, "Carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore?" -- or, because that's totally inaccurate, "Normal, lacto-ovo-vegetarian, vegan?"

Interesting fact: 41% (12/29) of x86's members were at one time staff members and regulars at stealthbot.net. Six members were at one time administrators, with the remaining 6 at one time some form of moderator.

That's sad (:P), but not surprising, since part of this community started as a bot development one (ie, people using/testing JavaOp/JBBot). There are at least a couple people here (Ergot comes to mind) who I met that way.

6 carbon sugars are ugly and taste bad, so yes. Glucose is the devil. ATP? Is that some four-wheeler company? "All Terrain Pwnage"? My pin for my bank account is 10585. I don't like breathing, it's too energy consuming. Deoxyribose sucks, it lets people like me live. RNA and DNA are evil and God says they can't exist.

If you're talking about yourself, you were a moderator there for quite a while. I seem to remember "Eccentric's Slave" or something like that back on the Land Down Under boards of '02. :P

Heh, I used to really like LDU, but now I hate it.  Weird.  :)

So should we chalk Ribose up to yet another "scared off" user? We didn't try to! I swear! :)

Sweet! Did you go to New Hampshire a few weeks ago to compete? My team did. Messalonskee Highschool (Rhabacon) or something like that... I never actually memorized our team's name.. lol

I've returned from the Greater Toronto Regional! Although my team, Aces High, didn't win it like last year.

GTA was a great game, sure, but LIVING in it? A bit nerdy IMO.
