TOS offline? Message #1 Posted by Meindert Kuipers on 19 Mar 2012, 7:53 a.m. I cannot get on TOS from 2 different locations and computers since yesterday. Can anyone confirm?

Re: TOS offline? Message #2 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 19 Mar 2012, 8:19 a.m., in response to message #1 by Meindert Kuipers It appears to be down, according to http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/#

Re: TOS offline? Message #3 Posted by Luiz C. Vieira (Brazil) on 19 Mar 2012, 8:52 a.m., in response to message #1 by Meindert Kuipers Me neither.

Re: TOS offline? Message #4 Posted by Walter B on 19 Mar 2012, 12:01 p.m., in response to message #1 by Meindert Kuipers Confirm :-/

Re: TOS offline? Message #5 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 19 Mar 2012, 9:24 a.m., in response to message #1 by Meindert Kuipers It looks very much like the domain is run from a dynamic IP address. Maybe the DNS update has failed.

Re: TOS offline? Message #6 Posted by Paul Berger (Canada) on 19 Mar 2012, 12:40 p.m., in response to message #1 by Meindert Kuipers It appears to be back online again now.

Re: TOS offline? Message #7 Posted by Walter B on 19 Mar 2012, 12:51 p.m., in response to message #6 by Paul Berger (Canada) Confirm :-)

Re: TOS offline? Message #8 Posted by John Robinson on 19 Mar 2012, 7:40 p.m., in response to message #1 by Meindert Kuipers What is TOS ?

Re: TOS offline? Message #9 Posted by Ethan Conner on 19 Mar 2012, 8:50 p.m., in response to message #8 by John Robinson That Other Site

Re: TOS offline? Message #10 Posted by Howard Owen on 20 Mar 2012, 1:18 a.m., in response to message #8 by John Robinson Google "hp41" and look for a domain similar to that.

Re: TOS offline? Message #11 Posted by Garth Wilson on 20 Mar 2012, 1:44 a.m., in response to message #10 by Howard Owen or use a different search engine. ixquick.com works the same way but does not record what you searched for so the feds can't label you a terrorist for having looked up "water balloons" for your kid's birthday party. (I'm exaggerating to make a point.) The first line on the website in question says, "From its introduction in 1979 until final production in 1990, the Hewlett Packard 41 Series Programmable Calculator reigned supreme as the trusted companion of professionals and students worldwide."

Re: TOS offline? Message #13 Posted by Peter Murphy (Livermore) on 20 Mar 2012, 12:00 p.m., in response to message #12 by Luiz C. Vieira (Brazil) Here is a recent version of the story: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv020.cgi?read=193137 Given the admonition at the top of this page (Please do not publish copyrighted material or links to sites containing unauthorized materials), our obligation is clear: do not link to The Other Site. But naming The Other Site does not constitute linking to it, so I see no reason for calling it The Other Site, or TOS for short. Unless we're just being superstitious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scottish_Play

Re: TOS offline? Message #14 Posted by Garth Wilson on 20 Mar 2012, 3:42 p.m., in response to message #13 by Peter Murphy (Livermore) IIRC, Warren Furlow sent me the permissions he obtained years ago, and my conclusion at the time was that he had gone even further than he needed to to avoid violating any copyrights. I know the owner of this website doesn't want to believe it though.

Re: TOS offline? Message #15 Posted by Walter B on 20 Mar 2012, 3:43 p.m., in response to message #13 by Peter Murphy (Livermore) I'd vote for the full name TOSTMNBNH (that other site that must not be named here) for obvious reasons ;-)

Re: TOS offline? Message #16 Posted by Harald on 20 Mar 2012, 4:09 p.m., in response to message #15 by Walter B Anywho. It is back up again now.

Re: TOS offline? Message #17 Posted by Ángel Martin on 21 Mar 2012, 5:05 a.m., in response to message #15 by Walter B Nah, too short and easy to remember ;-)

Re: TOS offline? Message #19 Posted by Walter B on 21 Mar 2012, 6:59 a.m., in response to message #18 by Howard Owen Hey, you are able to discriminate between a parenthesis and an emoticon, aren't you? ;-)

Re: TOS offline? Message #21 Posted by Luiz C. Vieira (Brazil) on 20 Mar 2012, 4:45 p.m., in response to message #13 by Peter Murphy (Livermore) HI. I meant no pun with 'Thatīs an Old Story', i.e. T.O.S., too..

Re: TOS offline? Message #22 Posted by Dave Hicks on 20 Mar 2012, 6:42 p.m., in response to message #13 by Peter Murphy (Livermore) No one has asked me to stop people from typing TOS so lets leave it at that. Back to calculators, please. More info if you really want it.
