At first I thought it was just another pipe game...nice, but I've seen before. Then, I saw you changing the pipes while the spider was moving. Awesome! Did builderboy's do that too, or did you add it in the port?

Yeah, graphmastur, I see what you mean now. Subtracting by 10 with several computers actually isn't a bad idea, although according to this pdf, incrementing by 6 would be more efficient. More primes, less non-primes. http://www.dozenalsociety.org.uk/pdfs/primeforms.pdfWith enough optimizations and enough pcs, perhaps this would be possible. you never know! Server-wise, not much has to be done.....send numbers to computers, receive negatives for a set length, and send again. If a positive response is found, it immediately sends the factors to every computer doing the program, spreading the key before ti has a chance to squelch it. Do you think TI could change the keys with an OS update? Scary thought.

Well, my name has a dark and mysterious past......well, ok, not really  When I was 6, I signed up for a yahoo account. I saw this textbox that said username and i thought "hmm, my name doesn't fit! It's probably broken..." so I shortened it to the allowable amount. The hilarious thing is that the only times I ever have problems with it is when I have already signed up for the site. If I need a new account, I make it willrandship1. @tsukasaZX I always thought your name referred to the zx spectrum  Edit: broken Smiley. Why doesn't  do anything?  WHY?

True....I'd forgotten that. Curse TI.

Don't forget, we don't really need to check all the possible numbers from 2 to the public key. The only truly likely ones will be in a certain bit range, and that is a much smaller amount than totally brute-forcing the entire number.
2.1? TI started the war by not adding an asm( command in future OS releases, or integrating ndless. 2.1 is just going a little farther.

I wonder how long it would take the program to finish this, factoring the entire possible range, doing just 3. I found this site, and prime numbers ending with 3 are as common as 1 or 9. That means it's as likely to be 3 as any other number. http://korn19.ch/coding/primes/ending.php

I had an idea for simplifying the key decryption that doesn't involve algorithms. Right now, it decrements by 2 every time. That makes the ending numbers look like this 9 7 5 3 1 9 7 5 will never be the last number in a factor. what if, instead of subtracting by 2, we had 4 computers (or more, obviously) subtracting by 10? The program is no more complicated than before, it should run just as fast. Therefore, we should get a 1/5 decrease in time. Yeah, it's farfetched, but it's worth it if it works, right? I'll check out tribal's C program. It should be a bit more readable than the perl script for me, and it works faster anyways. Edit: Tribals already only checks primes. Never mind....my optimization only works for the perl script

Hey, calc84maniac, when you say you can't figure out how to write to the nspire's link port, what do you mean? is it a problem with the addressing, or is it more complex? Hackspire has the memory location of the 84 link port listed.

I think it's funny that you went on and won $2000 and a laptop with a dead project. Good job!

I had a really cool idea for getting the CAS os on the old blue nspire. However, it requires a few things that I'm not sure of. For it to work, the new CAS nspire's pad (which is removable now) must fit into the regular nspire. My idea was, use the blue clickpad to uninstall the nspire os, insert the CAS pad, then install the CAS os 2.0, since hopefully the nspire will see the CAS pad and assume you have a CAS, instead of an original nspire.
Anyone happen to have both of these? I'm quite curious myself, but I don't have a cas touchpad.

no, the original cas has no swappable pads. Sorry!
The second gen cas does i think, but it's not compatible with the 84 either, just with itself.

It'll work, but only if you buy a clickpad from ti. The touchpad doesn't work, but a touchpad calc with a clickpad will. Luckily, TI recently reduced their price for keypads to $10. They used to be $40

Nice! I never got a good look at lemonade tycoon. It looks like fun. What was your concept, or was it just "game on a calculator"? Enjoy that $2000! Considering that amount of cash, it's probably a pretty decent laptop. If it was a really cheap one, they probably would've either just had the laptop, or just the cash.

Hence why I said it doesn't apply to the nspire. Too bad though. That emulator idea sounded cool! I still like the idea of replacing the public key, by using an arm asm program. It might be possible, I'm not sure. Plus, you invalidate the Standard OS in the process. Who cares about that one, anyways, as long as we get a z80 emu? It's only good for math anyways. I'd love to see an 89-style GUI on it, personally.
