...and will not hesitate to bring the case in news on the portal if it turned out crispy.
Yay google translator!

But seriously, TI fails at life :/ I just wonder what all the teachers had to go through to enter the contest, and what will happen next/

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 19, 2009, 06:58:33 pm: Basiclaly, TI organized a contest for teachers in france a while back. URL was http://www.ti-sengage.com/ and results were due to be posted on Oct 7th. However, we're Nov 19th and no sign of life from the contest. Was it a scam? Did the french part of TI die? Did they cancelled the contest without warning anyone? Will we know what happened? No matter what, another TI epic fail occured X.X

Btw, on TI-BANK forum, there are a lot of math teachers, including the admin, who has been one for a while. (At least on TI-BANK teachers are open to calc games dev :D)

He also tried to figure out why on certain calcs the LCD gets distorted when running some ASM games. He figured out many things about various calc models, even if some stuff isn't that useful (like the TI-73/76 Self-Test key combination). Plus he's nice in overall, unlike some other ppl in the community

lol, I was about to disagree and say it happened on UTI through the efforts of... *looks up who it was* Critor. :P I helped too. (Not much, I just put like 14 calcs in his database.)
If he's a teacher, he's the awesomest teacher I know!

Post by: Galandros on November 22, 2009, 05:08:08 pm: TI fails again. And it is going to fail relatively soon with the Nspire. ;D

Well that was bad, leaving teachers hanging for results... I wonder where are their minds.

They actually have an excellent community that could be their best advantage... I just wonder what goes in their minds.
PS/EDIT: ok the repetition was totally unintentional but for luck happened.
