That is.... AMAZING! O_O The impossible is now done!  (Well, not impossible, just hard.) I guess this is a good time to revive the Z80 CAS topic? Also, I agree with the above suggestions of making the numbers easy to parse - we should use relatively simple syntax to make it work. Before a CAS could be made, the following needs to occur: 1) String -> FP number 2) FP number -> String 3) Display FP number on arbitrary display buffer at certain position (pref. #2) 4)  I might still have code to print FP numbers, but it's in BASIC and requires... FP functions?  (Specifically, log, int(), fPart(), and iPart().) If you would like to use it, tell me and I'll try to dig it out of a calc backup that is in a dead HDD backup...

No, this is not possible. You can change the color, change lines, etc. but NOT the font. (If there's such a thing, it's dependent on a specific terminal emulator.) However, if you're talking about printing underline/bold/(italics??) text, then yes it is possible!  For bold, you would do this: printf("\033[1mBold text is awesome!\033[0m");Those are escapes for the ANSI standard terminal formatting. Take a peek here for more options: http://pueblo.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/ansi_color_codes.htmlEDIT: You can also see the results live without compiling any C/C++! Simply type this into your terminal: echo -e "\033[1mBold text is awesome"'!'"\033[0m" # The -e enables escapes
# OR... yes, it IS printf you're seeing below!
printf "\033[0mBold text is awesome"'!'"\033[0m" # I'm not too sure if the shell's printf supports printf(); formatting, aka printf("number %i", var); check your local man pages for details.

Yeah, the rapid release schedule came in response to Chrome's auto-updating itself at an obscene rate. IMHO the competition forces all browsers involved to innovate, which is awesome
*shudders* The rapid release schedule is all but nice... Firefox 7.0 is a good example of this - it came out with a major bug that needed a .0.1 update to get it fixed. Not to mention all the other little bugs that have cropped up, like the window resizing bug (it's late, but I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow), and another one that I can't recall offhand. Yes, with 7.0.1. That's scary. It's a craze that needs to end. The rapid release schedule works for Chrome because there's a lot of people working on it, and paid to do so too, typically very well. Hundreds of people work on it everyday, as a day job. (And even still some bugs do slip through!) Mozilla et. al. (including one Canonical for Ubuntu) don't really have this magnitude of people and effort working on it. They can't catch bugs as fast, not mentioning be productive as fast. It just doesn't work. Sure, they are working faster and better, but is a rapid release schedule necessary? If they are getting motivated because of the scheduling, not because they are self-motivated... there's a more serious problem at hand than their bugs and release schedules. I'm hoping that this insanity will end.... hopefully. It's great that they are competing, but sometimes you gotta compete differently. And that's fine - because in the end, the final result matters, not how much time it takes! Note: I am a long time, and still proud Firefox user. I also speak as a FOSS project developer, with some minor experience in project management. My comments are mainly based on experiences, and maybe a little bit of speculation. I do not intend to insult anyone with my above comments. If you feel these are insulting, contact me and I will edit/remove them. Thanks!

Just curious - are the CX and non-color Nspires' RSA keys the same or different?

OmniNet already have a NickServ who helps combat impersonation: on connect, type /msg NickServ help register. The webchat we provide have a field to type your NickServ password (not to be confused with forum password). You can then /whois people, a "logged in as <user>" line will show up if they're logged in.
We could also provide a way to change your hostname to a personalized one when you login, much like some users actually have.

Ahh yes, this works very well too. I was referring to the EFNet side of things, however... which as we all know, is a "service-free" network (e.g. no NickServ/ChanServ).

Wow... are there really people who do that? There could be a way to verify users by identing into a bot. It should probably be limited to the necessary members unless someone can automate translating the SQL data to the bot...

Maybe the DLL was outside of the MSI? The only thing I'm sure about is that I found it in the temp folder.
I'll try "installing" it later - this computer doesn't let me have admin privileges, which is required for installation. * alberthrocks pokes Casio to make a TI-Connect, but 1000x better Note that I don't have a CASIO Prizm... but I can see if I can get those files out since you said that they are copied to the TEMP folder.

No we don't have any secret.
Ndless 3.0 does *not* exist at all for now, not even in an alpha version.
3.x OSes / Boot2 are full of watchdogs which will force the calculator into rebooting when something abnormal is detected for a certain period (when you manage to take control on the hardware over the OS for example).
Ndless 3.0 probably won't even be out this year, seeing how TI has protected the 3.x versions. You should better develop/use Lua programs, or move to Casio Prizm.
Sorry, but it will be useless for you to ask again for Ndless 3.0 tomorrow, next week, or even next month... The answer will probably be the same.
It's very hard and if you want it out sooner, you should join and help with its development if you are able to... There is no other way.
Even though that is depressing to hear, it at least clarifies the situation you guys are in. Thanks!

It seems CASIO isn't too open about how to update their OS.... their update process is encoded inside the MSI! O_O
The update process does not extract any useful files, and the updating is done inside the MSI.
(InstallShield self-extracting EXE -> InstallShield MSI -> OS Updater inside MSI)
I've dumped the MSI's contents for those who want to try to find a solution.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1016340/MSIDump.zip
In OS 1.02, I believe that the OS was contained within the OSupdateDLL.dll file, and a program was written to extract it. Is this DLL file still present? I haven't been able to look at the 1.03 MSI yet.
Nope, doesn't exist at all. It all kinda exists inside the MSI, oddly enough. Maybe I'm wrong, though... Here is the file list for the MSI: Directory of D:\Documents and Settings\albert\My Documents\Downloads\MSIDump\MSIDump

Obviously, I was right about those files being redistributables. This is something interesting to explore... though I'm not sure if we should be pissing Casio off or not... maybe they'll give us specs? (Sidenote: Seeing that other topic is the center for Casio hacking discussion, should I move the discussion to there?)

You cannot find it, and nobody can find it, because it doesn't exist.
I believe this is one of their "secret" works - it's not even on SVN!

Its kinda funny because just switching them fixed it. Both things work now. This is my third script for XChat. Its really fun doing this lol.
Oh actually... I might know why, but then I don't know why it occurs. A lovely programming term called race condition. If they are both being called, the first function returns xchat.EAT_ALL... which tells XChat to withhold any of the output from the user and any other plugins that might want to parse the data. So in a sense, your code still has some errors, it's just that the switch doesn't "EAT_ALL". (My code above fixes that!) It might do a stack like system - filters is first, greenText is last when added in the opposite way. When you switched it, greenText is first, filters is last in order of execution. Again, this is speculation, since XChat-WDK (Windows version) doesn't particularly do Python scripting unless you install some obscure version of it...
