Anyways...why bother with the LED when you can just attach a wifi-USB dongle? :P Access the internetz in class :P

If you bought it from alienware I bet it would cost you ~$2000 :P

Wow. That is pricey :P It'll be really cool though!

Base price or total? I saw that $37 but it had $11 shipping :P

Also, then you could just move it afterwards. :P Most big stuff will have an install path, and the smaller stuff probably won't care if you move it.

So, it doesn't just work like in TI-Basic? That's weird.

You don't need them JBODed together to access them all. Quick question though: are you using Windows, linux or Mac? If you're using windows, simply point a specific Game's install path to F: instead of C:, or similar.

I'm not sure for macs, but for linux, if you have /bin mounted to a different Partition and /home mounted to a different partition, etc. you can have, say, one drive running your home folder, one that holds the /bin area, where all the executable progs you've installed have a shortcut to, probably also /usr on that one, but so on. It's worth noting that the only one that'll really get huge in Linux is your /home, since the other areas only hold programs that are actually "installed" onto your system, and config files. During the installation on most Linux installations you can set those mount points up during the same time you're setting up your swap space.

Just leave it out of all the arrays. Otherwise, everything will be treated as one disk, and controlling booting will be harder.

I fail to see the point of JBODing either, unless you mean simply using them all independently. JBODing is about on par with RAID0, with the pros and cons. You get pretty much all of its advantages by simply using the drives as separate volumes, and you have fewer recovery issues if one fails, since all the others keep on functioning.

Other Calculators / Re: Let's overclock Nspire to x2 or x4
« on: December 31, 2010, 01:54:43 pm »
SNES Emulation is more likely than GBA. GBA has a snes emu :P GBA would be much harder, even with the similar hardware (which, by the way, really kind of cancels out with later nintendo handhelds. The GBA, DS, and I think the GBC  too, all had two processors. They had theirs and their predecessors, for backwards compatibility. This makes them harder to emulate, since the nspire only has 1 CPU, even though it is faster than the DS's two (ARM7 at 33 mhz and ARM9 at 66 mhz, not counting the DSi) combined.

However, yay for overclock! :P so 300 mhz (yes I know it's 150 really for the CPU) is as high as you can go, or can it go higher?

I never really saw the point of Raid at all. A new hard drive should last you about 6-8 years with semi-heavy use, and they aren't really super failure-prone.

Also, you will never need to use Raid 0. All it does is make 2 drives act like one, and you have double the chance of getting them corrupted. Why not simply use them as separate drives? you don't really gain anything but a little convienience.

A RAID5 setup will act like 1 disk, period. It also does some mirroring which makes it like Raid 1 somewhat, but you need more hard drives in the setup.

Never Raid larger disks to smaller ones. It will make them all the same size as the smaller if you do.

Why make a 51 array? You will lose a TON of space! Raid 51 means Raiding several RAID 5 arrays into a raid1 array.

If an SDK is released, I hope it at least supports true assembly. TI's ti-83+ SDK for making apps sucks compared to real ASM. It's actually worse than Axe, and still needs to be compiled on the computer :P

If it doesn't support sprites, what's at the top of that screenshot, right below the bar? It looks like fighter from FF1. It looks like it might be as powerful a language as BBC basic, which would rock.

« on: December 31, 2010, 01:26:46 pm »
Yep, I've been using Ndless 1.4 for about a month now. Works great, but you still need it connected to something over USB to work properly. Even though I have a non-cas, I use 1.4 because the 84+ mode is more stable. :)

TI Z80 / Re: PartesOS (or YATPOS :P)

Sounds cool! So, this sounds like it's basically a super bare-bones setup, where you could change literally anything, am I right?

Right now I'm making it so it works standalone, with well-commented sections for where to remove stuff at the beginning.

I think I've got the Return thing worked out now, but it's giving me an error: Argument at this:
Pt-Off(Var*5+1,60)
and a few other of the pt-offs. These are for drawing the time bars.
