Echoing ztrumpet's request on IRC, could someone translate that facebook comment in the image on the previous page?

"Beware of the fact that the 2.1 version of the Nspire OS prevents downgrading to a version inferior or equal to 1.6, even though "everything you may try..." - You'd better stay on the 2.0 version of the OS."

Thanks :)
And of course TI doesn't want others to know this...

Btw I think that Nelson Sousa guy on the TI-Nspire Google group is not any better than the people who commented on Slashdot. He bashes TI-BANK claiming the forums is useless (quite ironic considering it's listed in his website links section http://www.nelsonsousa.pt/index.php?lang=en&cat=4&subcat=0&article=0 ). To me, though, he seems like a troll, so he should probably be ignored. I think the way he replied to TI-BANK admin speaks by itself: http://tibank.forumactif.com/blabla-f18/crachons-sur-ti-bank-t5814.htm

It kinda reminds me someone with the initials KK, who always seemed against Nspire dev. As the guys on TI-BANK said, I think the guy is just jealous TI-BANK is successful. I could not find his forum, though, if he has one.


Yeah, I have seen him before, he looks like a real @$$% Troll.

wth? THEY DELETEED HIS FB? God, they really killed them selfs in my eyes

I am very sure I saw other comments by Nelson before on TI websites. I even think there might have been some in ticalc comments, but I'm not sure. IIRC, all of them were troll/flamebait. Basically, he can't be taken seriously (although, sadly, he main brainwash a few people)

On an off-topic note, proof that this OS issue drew a lot of attention (and maybe that Critor is awesome :P), even before the shashdotting (we only got one new member posting in here after the news), this news is close to the record of 202 comments on a news article on Omnimaga. The most commented news ever on Omnimaga is the 2009 Omnimaga programming contest, followed by this Critor news, then in 3rd place Doors CS 6 (on the old board with 140+ comments). It tells that a lot of people care about their freedom when it comes to 3rd party dev

Because they find it fun :P

It's like school bullies, but on the Internet. The only difference is that on the internet, they're at least easier to avoid or ignore due to lack of physical contact

Ndless 2 is on hold right now AFAIK. I don't now what's been accomplished, but the developers can answer that.

Yes, Nelson Sousa is active on ticalc.org (or was last year, anyway).

He claims to have programmed in Basic for every calculator (with a few exceptions like the 80 and the 81) but only owns two, an 84+ and an Nspire. He has, however, authored 13 Nspire Basic programs.

I started writing this post when the record was not even tied, but the time it took to search ticalc.org and check out some of this guy's programs slowed me down...

The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

Heh, it is funny how he bashes ticalc and ti-bank, but says that they are wonderful in his website.


Also, isnt he the one being useless? Just bashing asm?

Its odd that he only has Nspire BASIC programs.

Maybe he assumes that BASIC is the exact same thing for all TI calcs?

Also, he lists an 84+ SE in his profile, but that could just be the 84 emulator with the Nspire.
