Will this PDA thingy be included or featured for the TI-89 too? If so, that'll be cool!

what the heck are you talking about?

beats me...

he is either or a moron or acting like one and "thinks" that a pda is a program or interface or something like that. he apparantly doesn't know the pda is personal digital assistant, ie Palm.

*WHACK*
Don't post unless you have a brain. Thank you.

Listen, let's face it:

NEITHER THE TI OR THE PALM/POCKETPC PLATFORM IS BETTER

The TIs is the least powerful and least flexible for high end multimedia, but it's cheap and it does its job.

Palms are quite flexible and have a large library of free software available, and can come with a variety of options to suit your needs.

PocketPCs are the kings as far as power but are expensive too. They have the most flexibility and can be easily programmed for. I've actually been working on a TI emulator for this platform.

As you can see, none are completely superior. TIs will probably stay in the classroom, but for more complex portably graphing solutions (such as physics), PDAs will no doubt lead the way.

no, in physics and stuff a good COMPUTER will no doubt lead the way, not some crappy Palm! I can see it now....
Deranged Physicist - "mwahahahah, now I just need to solve this equation and I can take over the world!"
Palm (text) - "Insert equation now."
Deranged Physicist (typing) "umm...go faster. Faster. FASTER! AHHHH, DAMN THIS CRAPPY 33mhz PROCESSOR!"

Especially, if the Deranged Physicist is Steven Hopkins who can not even speak without computer, but who is capable to solve Schrodinger's equations in the moment of universe creation.

Stephen Hawking, right?

notice i said PORTABLE graphing solution (well i misspelled it actually, but you get the point...)

can't...... live..... with..... 33..... must.... need..... INtel.... StrongARM..... 203MHz.....

Heh. I'll be laughing at your 203 MHz StrongARM while I'm on my 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 solving the Nobel Prize winning equation :)

and i'll be laughind at all of you becuase I use DUAL Pentium 4 2.7GHz!

and I'll be laughing when I send a spike through your connection and my commandos bust into your lab and.....umm, nevermind that.....

and I'll be laughing when I come back here in 10 years and see a puny almost 3 ghz (ill be at at least 10)

The one thing we can LAUGH about is the ol days when a 286-based computer was blazingly fast, and a 286 euqipped computer would equal to ~1-2 P4 high-end computers

You mean Newton's laws of gravitational interaction for 7 moving interstellar bodies.

BTW, did anyone notice downtime lastnight?

A true nerd does not need something called "YourDigitalBuddy" to tell him what that says.

Actually, I wrote a 41-line C program to translate binary data like that to readable ASCII. I got the same result as you, but mine doesn't try to sell me a Pentium 4 each time.

Is it in TIGCC?

No, I just used plain vanilla gcc in *nix.

Org lbh pna'g genafyngr *guvf*???

I did "rot13 | ascii2binary" for this one.

Suggestion: Either have no spaces at all, or spaces between every group of eight. Spaces like that confuse most (all?) binary translators.

how about spaces every 40 (max word length here)

Congrats to you who realized that my binary actually does mean something. To those of you who didn't, why are you at ticalc??? This is a site for nerds, and nerds should recognize binary when they see it. Especially being in groups of 8, with 8-bit numbers going up to 255, that being the number of standard ascii characters.... It should've been quite ovbious it was text.
No, I didn't use YourDigitalBuddy, I wrote a VB program to translate back and forth, either with spaces between letters or not. If you want it, IM or email me (info in my profile). I traditionally make my binary without spaces but ticalc has the 40-letter word limit, so I turned on spaces.

01110111 00110000 00110000 01110100 00100001

>I traditionally make my binary without spaces
Is this a family thing?

lol, no, I just meant that I *normally* do it without spaces, such as when I'm chatting w/ friends on AIM or putting things in my profile.

ummm, what kind of person takes the time to IM in binary?

also, I think it was you that said that the ticalc community, as nerds, should be able to read ascII or whatever binary. We are not nerds, we are (insert text editing here) calculator (end edit) nerds. The only thing we need to be able to do in binary is convert it to other number bases, not into english (or other alphabetical languages).

ps: is alphabetical a word?

I IM in binary because it's fun to see ppl's reactions, and it doesn't really take much time, only about 3 seconds longer to translate into binary. Also, I wasn't being completely serious when I said you all should be able to read binary...

I am (or was) more use to reading the code like this:
01110111
00110000
00110000
01110100
00100001
00001101
00001010

But that is the new finagled ASCII

I was more use to reading this:
00100110
00100000
00100000
00100011
00110001
10000000
(I don't recall a code for !, though I am sure there was one. So I used a / for !)
But it was reading punched paper tape.

I prefer my ASCII in HEX
