In my comp-sci intro classes, I never saw any girl
Who's to say that there wasn't any? I've seen girls that could be mistaken for guys (and that apparently includes myself, despite my well-endowed chest area).

Srysly though, this topic is a good read. lots of interesting responses!  ;D
It certainly is.

due to nasty rumors, my chances with girls are -9000 until college
Same here, but it's until the USS Enterprise self-destructs.

Feel free to interpret that as you want...

How many of y'all have ever used your knowledge of technology and programming as an ice-breaker with a hot girl? Or hot guy, if you're not into girls? It doesn't have to be for romantic reasons, either. I have used my knowledge of technology and programming as a conversation topic numerous times, none of which were romantically driven.
I'm asking mostly out of curiosity, but also because I have been offered a "job" of sorts to tutor a woman old enough to be my grandmother (at least, she claims to be a certain age, which, if true, would make her about as old as my grandmother) how to use a computer for her classes.

I really want to know where 'Axe Parser' comes from.
Me too...I wonder if it's the same way I came up with "Axe Files"...

Yeah but I doubt they would make a new calc so soon.
Considering how faulty TI's logic seems to be, I wouldn't put it past them to do that....

Multitab 83+ = Multiplication Tables for the TI 83+
Chemitab 83+ = The Periodic Table of the Elements for the TI 83+, for anyone who wants to memorize the atomic numbers, names, and symbols for all elements used by chemists.
QFIBCODE = Q23 Fibonacci Encode/Decode Program for the TI 83+

Any other programs I've come up with thus far aren't worth explaining their names, since I can't remember their names (excluding the RPG I'm "working" on, of course).

1284: Your calc can beat WATSON in a game of Jeopardy.
1285: Your calc is actually Watson.
1287: Your calc is actually Watson's best friend, Holmes.

They must be keeping "Holmes" in reserve for when they manage to successfully emulate a Vulcan...

1281: You don't get a headache from all that.
1282: You were able to follow all of that as well.
