Will anyone slashdot this?  I don't know how, but the "Submit story" button at the top right looks promising.  Actually, I think Critor should do it, since he was the one who found the 'bug'.

I have an account on Slashdot, but I don't think I'm that good at writing news submissions :)
(and I won't have time tonight, too)
I wrote one for the improper DMCA letters against several of us publishing the keys, but the one which was up-voted enough to reach news status was "Nyall" Samuel Stearley's.

Geez, ti used to be cool, there isnt even BASIC programming for the nspire :/

Hell, it is supposed to be alike to a computer, but DCS does a better job of that

Nspire has BASIC, actually, albeit in a limited form, w/o getkey and such. Not good for making games without getkey, though. (TI probably did this on purpose)

TI-Nspire BASIC is getting better, but I doubt we will ever get getkey.  At least we have input methods now!  I doubt we will see an update to Nspire basic anytime soon, unless TI wants to tempt us to upgrade our OS by adding these features. :(

What input? I only have disp and the variables you define at the begining, or did I miss something?

In OS 2.0 or higher, you can use "Request" or "RequestStr" for input from a program.

O_o thanks man, didnt know that.

Feh, dont want to bother to locate a 2.0 because DCS is not friendly with it


EDIT: Guys THIS TOPIC JUST SAVED ME!!! In my graphing calc course next year The teacher got her hands on the docking port, I was going to bring my own nspire, but have now decided to use the teacher's supplied one

I'm not sure I'm the right person to do it.
I don't speak english natively.
There is much to say, and the story has to be short too...


As this is very important, someone else should do it.

But you may quote me if you want, and use my picture (1st post) of course.

I don't have an account on slashdot, but I am willing to contribute to posting about this.  Maybe we should mention that by blocking programming on the Nspire, TI is preventing a generation of calculator users from understanding a fairly complicated computer programming language that can help in learning more things about computers.  I know that I have learned a ton about programming/computers in general by learning C.  Eventually, if the Nspire becomes TI's only calc (or others like the Nspire that block ASM programs) they will be preventing a generation of students from important computer knowledge.  Many "Coders of Tomorrow" get their start by programming TI calcs.

Like MEEEEEEE, because of these calcs, one thing lead to another, and now I am learning C# and continuing TI-BASIC

I will try and think of something and post it here later for opinions.

Has anyone confirmed that it is possible to downgrade to 2.0 from 2.1 on the touchpad nspire?  Assuming the block is caused by the hardware, it might block all OS downgrades.
