Woohoo, I can sort alphabetically!


But, poo on TI. Meh.

That spambot post has a higher respect level than I do.

I wrote a 17k program that inverted the screen.

Still on ticalc, if anyone wants to find it.

#427: You wonder if this is going to increment to 4000 once we reach 1000

Should be completely fixed now.

Also, I have somewhat more free time now, on account of losing my job. :/

Holy Shit, it's JincS!

I remember you!

Welcome back

I like the idea of awards and such, perhaps we could implement a trophy system for it.

I do think we should find a new name for it, though.

Perhaps we could have a new box on the portal, 'This month's featured program is ...' or such.

TI-Nspire / Re: Virus to crack RSA for nspire? :P

Yea, and schools are very slowly adopting the 'Lets give every student a computer in the class' idea.

the 1024 bit key has a $100,000 prize. We should apply whatever we do here and win it.
That's been withdrawn.



I hate to be a party pooper, but the computer power required to do something like this is inconceivable.


at each bit increase, time taken to compute doubles.
768 took 2 years.
769 would take 4 years.
770 would take 8 years.
771 would take 16 years.

etc...



1024-bit, given current tech, would be completely infeasible. You'd have better luck with the power supply flickering techniques.

Edit: a little bit more of perspective

1024-bit RSA Signatures are what the Xbox 360 uses to prevent unsigned code from being ran. That's a multi-million, probably into the billion, design cost that selected RSA-1024 as the signature method of choice. They designed the system to be viable for 10 years as of 2005. Assuming that the computing power in 2015(and that we don't die in 2012) is powerful enough to crack one in 2 years(which is a big assumption), the nspire would likely be replaced or on the verge of replacement, going off of TI's previous release cycles.

Colorado's an at-will work state, they can fire/terminate you for anything.

I just got laid off because they hired too many people. `-`

I'd personally just get the hell out of there as soon as I possibly could. The government can give you grants and such for education and housing, they do it alot for students, and alot of them are fairly easy to apply for, to my understanding.

Also, you said you went to a technical school, that wouldn't happen to be Warren tech, would it?

I had a similar situation(I wasn't caught looking at porn, it was just on my computer too much for their tastes.)

My way around it was to pay for my own computer, but it sounds like that might not work for your parents. I got a job at King Soopers pretty much to buy myself a computer.
