17th post!

PARADE! for TI!

You tell me not to add my signature to posts then go around posting worthless "PARADE" items? Hypocrite.

Your signature was annoying. The whole parade thing is tolerable.

my computer thinks the power button is shift, left mouse button acts like a middle one on a 3 button mouse that i not have, right button is left, sift on keyboard is click,
all the function keys move the mouse thingy, numpad acts as a mouse, and page up=ctrl page down=alt
that'a all

How did you do that? Change the wiring a LOT?

Nope, i duno how
:[
it's fixed now thoug, i rebooted
:]

PETITION! TO BAN CalcDrone FROM ticalc.org! w00t!

PARADE TO PETITION! TO BAN CalcDrone FROM ticalc.org! w00t!

it would be funny if CalcDrone posted that.
He doesn't even have an account! WTF???

Well this is interesting, I posted the same thing sort of...without knowing ticalc.org had it up already.

I think calculators will stay in the classroom despite graphing calculator software. They are easy to use and most teachers are trained to use them (83 series anyway) and the interface of calculators (buttons vs. touch screen) and their low price point put them (and will keep them) as the math tool of choice for students and educators for a long time (TI's held the market for a while already in math tools in the classroom).

I don't think this will expel calculators from the classroom, but it will open them to a few other possibilites for added functionality. PDAs are too prohibitively expensive for schools to standardize on them. My old high school, like many others, had bulk purchasing plans where they'd get hundreds of [insert model here] to distribute to students. That isn't feasible for any current model of PDA, as the lower-cost models sacrifice considerable functionality (and processing power, another important detail) to the point where it wouldn't be pragmatic.

Better idea: Virtual TI palm!!!

I also noticed that TI was down... i thought about recent calc site closing and hoped it didnt happen to ticalc.org

I've thought about that actually. I don't think that the person who wrote VTI released the code, or did he?

They (Rusty Wagner) most definitely did release the source code. You can get it at the (web page) link above this post.

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Even better- an optional Palm OS (or WindowsCE/XPEmbedded) on a TI...
w00t!

I was thinking about porting the TI-83 emulation portion to run on my 89. THat is, until I discovered that it is written in c++ and I only know C.
C is better than c++. That is why C is capitalized. Simpler is better. Live long and prosper.

HOLY MONKEY BALLS that's a lot of source!!!

Have you seen the source to the Linux kernel? The tar's compressed size is over 30 megabytes, and it contains more than 11,000 files. (This is the 2.5.21 kernel, though earlier versions are probably similar in size)

OMG Becky...

Who's Becky?

remember the "big butts" song? I know that there was a long lasting comercial that had the beggining of it.

I know what you're talking about now.

OMG Becky, look at her butt!

The size of the earliest version 0.01 was only 60 K, and the first useable version 1.0 was about 1 M.

Using book Linux Core Kernel Commentary I watched release 2.2 . There are 1,5 milions of lines while printed were about 40000 and detailed explained about 2000.

HOLY MONKEY FORX that's a lot of source!!!

BAD! NO! more like,
Palm Vs. TI-72, 82, 83, 83+, 83+ SE, 85, 86, 89, 92, and 92+!
