lol, a cas indication on the screen >.<yes we can :)
But they can't prevent that stuff on the old nspires that are already sold :D
Lol install linux, attach a wifi dongle and ask someone to do the exam for you :)whooo :o i'll try that idea xD
Just like DJ_O said, I think it somehow is a good move. Making a CX a CX CAS just doesn't seem quite right to me without paying for it anyway...I don't know how you feel about it but paying €150 for a calc doesn't sound right to me when you see things like a Raspberry Pi that is infinitely more powerful and yet only costs $35. ;)
Yeah, but when buying a calculator, you don't only buy the hardware, you also buy all the work that engineers put to prevent you from doing what you want on your calc. So yeah, a Raspberry Pi is an even better choice seen from that point of vue... but it is not allowed in any exam so you actually have to pay a lot to get that overpriced calculator.Just like DJ_O said, I think it somehow is a good move.

Indeed, although we can't use a Rasberri Pi as calculator in math exams here :PJust like DJ_O said, I think it somehow is a good move.

Also Linux is about 20% more awesome than the Nspire and it's totally free. :DThey don't have the same goals at all, so you can't compare.
Plus TI are lazy guys since they reused the whole CAS engine from the 68k series.I'm sorry, but I see you are using your Omnimaga account over and over again to post messages. Shouldn't you be creating a new one for each post ? What a lazy behaviour.
So you effectively only pay for crap HW and lockdowns. :PBut as far as I can see you own some TI calcs (and even an Nspire). If you dislike the HW and SW as you say, you should donate it to people who actually need to use the calc for what it can provide.
Something we can be annoyed by, however, is the presence of some bugs that weren't there beforeBugs that weren't there before and also 18 years old bugs. (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11430&p=136995) :P
And maybe I'll get a new calc every time I do 2+2. That's probably a good idea./me runsPlus TI are lazy guys since they reused the whole CAS engine from the 68k series.I'm sorry, but I see you are using your Omnimaga account over and over again to post messages.
In short, I find your post quite useless and it look like you are simply be copying other people's ideas without any added value ...So if you notice a downrate on your post, this time it is probably me. I know that the other parts were sarcastic, but I couldn't see any sarcasm in this one. He has contributed quite a bit in the past here, even if his signal-to-noise ratio isn't among the best (he did troll or flood before, but that is nothing compared to certain other members when they originally joined the forums), and he is simply stating his opinion and if we can't joke anymore on Omni then it will get boring fast.
question Streetwalker's posting quality and treat him like if he was a n00b who contributes nothing to the communityand

But after all, it was nothing more than my thought about this specific post. i wasn't even talking about any of his other posts. My post did not depend on the author of the post I was criticizing, it could have been anyone.

My post did not depend on the author of the post I was criticizingElse you would have criticised pimathbrainiac, Sorunome, Augs and Blue_bear_94 many times before too.
Well Adriweb the 2nd part of your sentence was misworded, then. It seems to imply that every single post ever made by Streetwalker on Omni since he joined are useless and have nothing of value. You should probably have said:Sure, if it is an English problem, case closed then.QuoteIn short, I find your post quite useless and in it it look like you are simply be copying other people's ideas without any added value ...
As for the sarcasm I did notice it. Hence why I didn't complain about the sentences involved. My previous post also state that I did notice sarcasm in certain of your sentences.Right, just wanted to make sure.
As for the anypony thing I agree that there are some people here who are a bit obsessed with My Little Pony and brings it up at places where it is unnecessary, but I think at this point you should maybe lay out from Streetwalker, because it made me skeptical about the veracity of the following statement:As you can see, I added my remark about that later, as an edit, I obviously wasn't going to make a new post about that.My post did not depend on the author of the post I was criticizingElse you would have criticised pimathbrainiac, Sorunome, Augs and Blue_bear_94 many times before too.
Regarding free speech, free speech doesn't exist on any calculator forum because they are not ran by government. Each admin run the site as they see fit. (...)Sure, I was just quoting the term. But still, I don't know if stuff like that applies to only certain things or are to be considerd widely global (because you still can't do things that are against the law)
However, there is still a certain form of freedom. For example politely reprimanding someone with the truth (which can hurt, yes) is allowed, but outright libel and harrassment are not.Well... you and I both know you don't have to remind us of that, having been in much worse situations before in the TI community ... ;)
Also I think it's wrong to dislike someone only because he dislikes TI. I know that you are affiliated with TI, but if someone bashes TI here it doesn't necessarily make them better or worse persons.Again, this has nothing to do with his opinion about TI and judging if he's a good or bad person : I believe I explained why for me his specific post was "useless" (my thought, again), because seriously, "Plus TI are lazy guys since they reused the whole CAS engine from the 68k series." didn't really look like a joke to me and can you even try to actually defend this statement ... ? If you were the target of such a sentence, you would seriously despise its author because they probably have no clue of what's hapening in reality, and it's more this that bothers me : people stating direct and false things, let's actually say libel.
I think it is great that TI is helping to find cheating. I would love if they let linux run and left their calculators open, but I don't complain too much I can still use 3.1 with nlaunch if I want. Other than the new anti-cheating and boot2 are there any new features that you know of or could disclose?
Other than the new anti-cheating and boot2 are there any new features that you know of or could disclose?There are new and changed things obviously (it's been quite a while since 3.2.0 :P) but it's not to be disclosed, sorry :(

As for the anypony thing I agree that there are some people here who are a bit obsessed with My Little PonyErr I just said "anypony" in place of "anybody". That's not an MLP obsession but more to remove some seriousness from the discussion.
I think so. I think TI's concern is just to ensure that people won't cheat in exams and they are out to do everything possible to prevent it.^Pretty much this, and I actually agree with them on trying to prevent people from cheating. Unfortunately for us it ends up blocking ndless as well. :/
When they do something for developers it's usually not see how slow Lua is compared to ASM/C. If TI really cared about us, Lua would at least be proportional to Grammer speed compared to 84+ ASM.You are comparing a scripting langage with a compiled one.
In case you didn't know, Grammer is not a compiled languageWhere have I said that ?
Granted, Grammer uses tokens rather than individual characters for its commandsIt's exactly what I said.
You said that I was comparing a scripted language with a compiled one, so since I was only talking about Lua and Grammer, it seemed to me that you thought that Grammer is compiled.I took your sentence in the way you said it : "Lua" then "C" then "Grammer" then "Lua"
