Every single one of my projects is on hold indefinitely. You all have my parents to thank.
I can't be here long, I apologize that I can't elaborate more. They took my calc and told me I can never have it back. I'll buy my own eventually.That's not good at all. Well, instead of counting the days till kos, let's count the days till SirCmpwn leaves the house. Good luck!
Every single one of my projects is on hold indefinitely. You all have my parents to thank.
Okay, here's the basic idea:
While testing KOS on hardware, my calculator was incapable of doing math. Duh.
My parent's didn't like this, and have told me that I cannot do anything on my calculator that I couldn't do when I first pulled it out of the box, and I'm not allowed to connect it to a computer.
No KOS!
I'm really sorry. Maybe you can use WabbitDS or something similar? Also, do you have computer backups of your projects? D:
I hope you can get a calc soon.
AAAAH! Congratulations, you and I are in the same crappy boat! :( :( :(Okay, here's the basic idea:This is even more terrible!

Wow, that really sucks D:
Hope you still have all your projects, though.
Would they return it to you if you promised to use the TI-OS?
My parents hold my calc all days, i only get it for using at school and at home for maths D:
haha. so, most of us have parents that:
-dont like their children program their calc
-warn their children that they get their calc from them if they dont stop programming (but they cant)
wow you have a nice uncle
be happy with him!!!!

He encourages me to program Java, but I hate Java :(
haha. so, most of us have parents that:I must be lucky--the only restriction on programming anything (calcs, computers, etc.) that my parents have ever given me is "Don't do anything illegal, and leave all government agencies alone."

Here's a video for you, Scout:
Java 4-ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl1f1-Da0OI&feature=related)
Well, I'm sure he also told them that he could revert in like 1 Minute. I'm sure they didn't listen. And I'm sure if KOS supported math, they still wouldn't allow it.
Nope. From what I know of SirCmpwn's parents, AFAIK they won't let him program anything calculator related. Not sure why.Well, I'm sure he also told them that he could revert in like 1 Minute. I'm sure they didn't listen. And I'm sure if KOS supported math, they still wouldn't allow it.
Which is very bad. He can work on tiDE for now, though. Look on the bright side??

Also, your parents are really jerks. It's a good thing they don't have any popular site/blog/forum or even Facebook that we know of, because I think they would often be the target of trolling, if not less legal things involving 4chan, sometimes...
I don't have a wifi adapter. But trust me, I will not be abandoning the community during these tough times. I will figure it out, you'll just have to bear with me as my updates will be slow, and I won't be able to help out the tiDE team as much. But I can access Codeplex SVN from school, so that is helpful.
O.O I LOL'D at their quote XD. But at least I'm glad some people have parents that don't mind unless they got bad grades. In my case, they only minded if I spent like 10h a day on calc programming for too long and did not vary my activities enough. I got my calc taken away twice for that, during about 4 days. That time where my internet was taken down because I spent too much time online was a bit uncalled for, though. My mom cancelled my internet plan completely until I move out. This meant 5 months with no internet at home.haha. so, most of us have parents that:I must be lucky--the only restriction on programming anything (calcs, computers, etc.) that my parents have ever given me is "Don't do anything illegal, and leave all government agencies alone."

I'm lucky in that my parents still are mostly unaware of how proficient i am in calculator programming, as i lead a quite secretive life in it :P Well i'm glad you took every precaution good Sir and im glad you can still visit Omnimaga and that you haven't lost your projects :)
Can anybody please try to visit this:see if my strategy worked...Spoiler For Spoiler:
I'll back it off immediately if requestedSpoiler For Spoiler:
Woah!To be honest, today at work, Matthias1992's idea came into my head for a while. I didn't do it, though, because it's illegal. Plus, that barely do anything, because it only works when several people are doing it at once, anyway. Simple trolling would do, but even then, I think Sir's parents would do the connection and I am certain they may even accuse Sir of having started something if there was a suddent increase in spam or trolls in their comments.
I thought that spamming a couple comments would be one thing, but this is illegal *and* connected to me.
Whatever you do, I would really rather you not connect yourself to me in any way on their websites.

Also, I still have my calc, but I can't connect it to the computer. All of my major projects are assembly at the moment, and can't be worked on. tiDE is on my flash drive, along with SharpDevelop 4.0 Beta and an SVN tool, so I can still work on that slowly. I also keep backups *everywhere.* When I eventually become ungrounded, I will still have projects, even if they delete the local versions. I updated all my backups today, and distrubuted copies of all my projects throughout friends at school. I'm also having a friend of mine build me an Ubuntu flash drive with TiLP, Wine, and Mono so I can try to work on KnightOS.
I managed to get usb8x+msd8x back on my calculator before they grounded me, so I can still transfer stuff if it's emailed to me. So please email me anything you think I'd like :) Also, I'm getting my proxy stuff fired up again so that I can still access Omnimaga and Cemetech if I'm blocked from those. Geekboy's proxies are still up, I think, and I have other resources as well.
This is not my first go around with my parents. I'm prepared for this kind of thing.
In the US, you can't call the cops on your parents [while you're underage] unless they've done something to physically harm you. Basically, most of the prevailing law here takes the position that if there are no permanent marks, there's not much that needs to be done. Even clear cases of emotional abuse are very difficult to prosecute here.
Except in the case of sexual abuse, where it is altogether too easy to prosecute people. I remember hearing a story* of a couple getting a divorce where they both wanted to take their daughter. The mother had the bright idea of accusing the father of sexually abusing the daughter. The ONLY reason the man didn't immediately go to jail was because he had documentation that he had been on a business trip for the entire period during which the sexual abuse was supposed to have occurred and couldn't possibly have abused the daughter. She still got the girl, though.

Since Sir is carefully documenting his paychecks, they could prove in a court of law that his parents have no claim to possession of the calculator.

Maybe ask your parents for a 2nd chance of computer usage?
Most parents will accept it if you ask them sincerely.
I'm not saying that he should do that, Scout. I'm just saying that if he does buy a new calc between now and when he moves out in May, and his parents take it away from him, he does have the option of calling the police on them for taking that particular calc away from him--particularly if they refuse to return it to him when he moves out in May.If Sir's parents were to take away a calculator bought entirely with his own, legitimately earned money, that's petty larceny (presuming the price of the calc was under whatever the specified amount for grand larceny in his state's criminal codes), and Sir could press charges against his parents for stealing the calculator.

If he did that, his parents would be even stricter to him!
Maybe we kidnap Sir?You do realize that kidnapping is a crime, right?

It is in Korea XD
One of the student in Korea went to jail for hacking School Server and spreading PrOn around O.O
I'm from South Korea, and it happened there,too(Unfortunately, I was in same school)
/me puts this topic back on topic since SirCmpwn isn't here to do it.
my plan should work :P
okee.
Some parents doesn't care about good grades, though. IDK about Sir's parents.
I believe that SirCmpwn gets good grades./me puts this topic back on topic since SirCmpwn isn't here to do it.
Yes. I have an idea... Maybe SirCmpwn can get very good grades?

Sir should try apologizing to his parents?
Let the spirit of Christmas bless Sir.
Why it is good to anticipate KOS getting more progress soon, I would rather see Sir happy first.
I get mediocre grades, for the record. I just don't care enough to do homework. I ace all my tests, though.
Ace as in usually 95% and above. And no, I don't think I'll have it back by Christmas unless I order a new one soon.
some parents hate it when their children are not enough time busy with their homework, maybe its because of this that his parents won't give his calc back. btw, it sucks, they bought you a calc and they take it, so you cant use it any more, but they paid for it. understand?

ScoutDavid has been banned for one week for being a jerk to another forum member, being extremly closed-minded (assuming everyone will get jokes as easily as him and who doesn't is apparently inferior or stupid), being bigot towards americans and that despite being warned several times before for similar things. In the past, there were often episodes of bashing people hard work in the community, episodes of complaining about negative post ratings and episodes of lack of respect towards certain forum members. He was warned about 4 times for it and it still continues, so we will not see him around for a while.Okay.

You are so american. Cops in Portugal are the kind of cops that sleep 25hours a day. Excuse me if there is a portuguese cop reading this and is not like that (which I doubt).
I get mediocre grades, for the record. I just don't care enough to do homework. I ace all my tests, though.I'm like that too - I understand almost all of the material from the start, and don't want to do the homework as it is just extra work, rather than something that helps me. For the past month or so, I have gotten below 50% on my homework, and aced (100%) all my tests and quizzes.
Just if they decide to search in his closet and all his personal stuff thoroughly and find another calc. Otherwise I guess Sir could simply code while they're away, but if they installed hidden cameras inside the house (we never know with them), that won't work. In my case, I think it took months before my month discover I had a 89 Titanium in addition to my other two calcs.Ace as in usually 95% and above. And no, I don't think I'll have it back by Christmas unless I order a new one soon.
Wouldn't your parents find out?
I get mediocre grades, for the record. I just don't care enough to do homework. I ace all my tests, though.absolutely same here, except that my parents don't take away my calc. The worst they've done is an accidental RAM clear(they dropped it and the batteries flew out).
That's a long post O.Otruly it is.

Human variation is what I mean. You'd be hard pressed to find any two people whose psychology is identical.Even identical twins are different--it's a matter of nature and nurture.

the problem is that it will fail if a variable is misinterpreted.
Correct. NLP is providing structures and methods that work on 99% of the people. And if one method does not work on person A then changes are very slim a other method wont work either. NLP also wields the power of language. Both verbal and nonverbal language. NLP has some much tricks in it that it has a 100% succes rate because no one is completely immune to NLP (except for the dead xD)Human variation is what I mean.

My parents offered to pay for every cent of community college. I can't refuse.I see. Can't refuse as in "too good to be true" or can't refuse as in "I can't refuse. They won't let me."
My parents offered to pay for every cent of community college. I can't refuse.
The former.Okay. I see then. That's fine, I just figured it would be better if they didn't pay and couldn't hold that aspect over your head.
My parents offered to pay for every cent of community college. I can't refuse.Ah ok. I was worried because it seemed like you would not be able to code anything calc-related for a long while. X.x
Qwerty.55, yes. I feel like everyone is taking this out of proportion. It really isn't too bad. I'm here posting, aren't I? I just can't connect calc to computer, or program in asm on-calc (let's see how long it takes them to realize what Axe is ;)). My only major asm project is KnightOS, though, and I'm facing some 84+ compatibility issues that must be tested on hardware, and I don't want to move on too much until they are fixed.
My parents offered to pay for every cent of community college.Btw are there any conditions to this? Like, for example, you must stay at their home for the entire time you're into college and must not do any calc stuff and you still have all computer filters turned ON for the entire time? O.O
Umm, no. They will remove filters and give me administrator access to my laptop when I turn 18, or so they claim.When is your Birthday?
Umm, no. They will remove filters and give me administrator access to my laptop when I turn 18, or so they claim.What are the odds that they will stay true to their claim?

Hello,
The situation with my parents worsened. I am grounded until sometime in early 2011. My calculators and computer access have been taken away, and I cannot access another computer over break, which begins Friday. I will be unable to visit the forums during this time.
I would appreciate it if you were to relay these details on your respective forum.
Thanks, and see you next year.

To me it seems more like they're totally against calc programming. To me it's stupid because with calc programming you can get better at computer programming. With TI-BASIC you learn the programming concepts easily then learn to optimize like crazy due to limited language and platform, and with ASM you learn to code in low level where you have to mess with memory to do anything.sorry this is a little random but, what if your parents were made by TI, and then TI decided to restrict native asm?

I put calculator programming on my resume. During my first interview, the interviewer was very curious and asked a lot of questions about it. I believe it helped me land my job. :)That's awesome Ranman! :D
Dropping by on my phone - I'm not going on vacation, I just won't have access to a computer until the end of the year.Ah, that sux. :( At least the beging on the year isn't very far off though.

Okay, here's the basic idea:
While testing KOS on hardware, my calculator was incapable of doing math. Duh.
My parent's didn't like this, and have told me that I cannot do anything on my calculator that I couldn't do when I first pulled it out of the box, and I'm not allowed to connect it to a computer.
