That's something you would expect them to know.

I'm talking about stuff like "the merits of doing the doggy style over the missionary position" type of thing.

I doubt the teacher knows what the word "Programming" means though :P unless it's a comp. sci. teacher

Thing is, maybe the teacher confused it with something else or misheard it, like "New Color Nspire!" with "Your house is on Fire!"...

:) jk



taht is a little insulting. the techer knows a heck of alot basic and some, hint on SOME, asm

Please don't as we don't want to drive away younger members.

My teachers can surprise me with all the school gossip they know.
Also after i sucked up to a couple of my teachers (telling them how to avoid/strengthen parts of school internet/computer security)

Actually, it would be safe enough to explain...that was one of the weirdest discussions ever in biology class that semester...we were talking about the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction and the teacher used those terms as metaphors for those concepts. My class never allowed her to forget that day, either.

! You said the 6 word! Anywho, your teacher is obviously a spy bent on getting community hopes up in anticipation of a non programmable calc :P
No, I hope it is a good thing for us ^-^

Teachers always get excited about the wrong stuff. Last year my math teacher made a big deal when OS 2.53 came out, but knew nothing of the Axe Parser. Whatever TI planned, either we don't care or it will just make our lives worst.
Logged

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

I'm having a hard time to think that "something big" could be a good thing for the open development community...
For a start, further lockdown of the Nspire platform (unless one wishes to use the official tools - should they wish to release some after years of boo-hissing about ASM) is to be taken for granted.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Gues what?! Check this out!!!!
http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9649&pid=143381&st=0&#entry143381
So apparently a few weeks ago NETWizz over on UTI emailed TI-Cares and finally a letter was received... Check it out!

But it doesn't answer the question... It does however seem to have a more positive spin to the speculation!

That'll sure be interesting to watch, but keep cool everybody ;)
Herb Foster is the high-level manager at TI, on whose behalf the bogus DMCA takedown notices were sent to BrandonW, chronomex and several others. He may well have gotten a clue since then (for a start, about the fact that opening a calculator platform to decent programming does increase sales - for one, that's exactly why I bought a TI-89 instead of a Casio Graph 100 ten years and a half ago, and I know I'm far from being alone in that case), but we cannot hold our breath on it.

Five years after the initial release of the platform, it's bloody high time they opened the platform to programming :D
Decent BASIC programming is the very least we can expect from them.

Yeah, I'll try to keep my cool, but it is still nice to know that they are open to doing something that benefits the community (which of course--as you mentioned and I am sure they know--will benefit them).

I think that some people at TI do know that openness will benefit everyone :)
But I also know for a fact that 3 or 4 years ago (i.e. before the signing keys' factorization), Herb Foster did consider open development as a threat to TI's business, much more than as an opportunity to increase sales.
