Lemmy, is my IRL friend. For some reason, he treated Neretic as his little club and hated when I went to it  Eventually, he stopped caring. A lot of people hated me there for a while though, mainly because when I found it, I was in 8th grade and was annoying as hell, nor could use correct English  We were going to meet Geno IRL, since he lives close to us (Only a state away), but I couldn't, he did though.

I also knew a lot of people from neretic (Although, rarely went there)
I loved my 84+SE, no matter how much I love the nspire, the 84 was just too damn awesome in its own way.
It's also a good thing I'm not allergic to peanuts ^.^

As for battery issues, I myself do not find the iPod touch battery lasts much time. I'm not sure how long does it last on Android devices, but on my iPod it usually doesn't even last a day if I use it regularly
My Galaxy S2 will last about that, or less, but it does have a cell signal which will drain a ton of battery vs. not having one.

Hey guys, a while back over april break. To kill time, I started working on a text based RPG engine, I feel like turning it into a full-blown text based RPG. The engine/system still needs some work Suggestions would be excellent! V: A.55 http://pastebin.com/8pe9HDZcReadme: http://pastebin.com/zcREcwjY

From the experience I've had with Android devices, I've been greatly disappointed.
Whatever the devices, the UI seemed slow, laggy/ not smooth, and not intuitive at all.
I also dislike the "hardcoded" buttons on most devices.
By putting some quad-core etc. they're progressively trying to hide these weird-feel, but at what cost ? One-day only battery ? It's ridiculous...
But yes, it's cheaper etc. Probably because Google wants to have more and more devs.
The open-ness is subject to some harms, though : viruses / trojans / bad stuff are in the Android Market.
There aren't present in iOS' App Store.
The device fragmentation also seems to be one of the biggest problem.
I think Android is to smartphones and tablets what Windows is to PCs nowadays.
People here know how Linux or even mac (if you don't like Apple) is >>> Windows.
It's my opinion but having a "universal" OS makes it less powerful than one OS for one specific type of machine. Or at least what Apple does : builds software AND hardware ... bviously it's made for each other so it works well...
BTW : I am a paying iOS dev. It's indeed 80€ or so per year.
Edit : oh yeah : Obj-C is quite "weird" and verbose as you said, sure. But it's pretty powerful and really cool once you understood some stuff.
Also, Apple's IDE (XCode) really is awesome 
To rebutal >Laggy UI Yes, pre 3.0/4.0 it was a bit laggy, that was because all the rendering was done via the CPU instead of GPU, they added hardware acceleration in ICS and the UI is smooth everywhere, even on 1ghz phones >Quadcore Okay, do you not want innovation? Also, quadcores won't necessarily drain battery life, CPUs get more power efficent every generation, so it should be about the same. Intel CPUs show this. Also, I find eclipse > xcode

Fuck yes!
I found it on my facebook:
Area of any regular polygon is (1/D)(P^2)√3
Where D is double the amount of sides, and P is the perimeter.
It only works for regular polygons.

I remember last year for freshman Honors Geometry, to save time on any formula equations for polygons >4 sides in length, I created an equation that my teacher couldn't disprove.
Alas, I hated geometry and have forgotten the equation since.

Hello, I'm piexil!
I used to have a Ti-84 SE and would come here a lot for games and such for it.
I taught my self Ti-Basic and AXE with it.
Recently, I lost it and replaced it with a Nspire-CX
I then just decided to join here after years of lurking and talking to juju.
I hope to learn C for the nspire.

Now I hate that I cannot run portal 2 
(and that I forgot my steam username and pass)
You can't run portal 2? What are the specs of your computer? IIRC, The source engine is supposed to be very un-demanding.

Oh man, imagine if you could modify that to browse the internet, pretty sweet.
Nothing like using a calculator for

Damn, that is too expensive.
I love collecting games and that would be a wonderful addition, but just too much money.
You could get almost three nsspire cx's for that price!
