maybe these will make people finally realize the truth that should have been apparant when the programmables first came out:  Calcs were NEVER meant for math.  ;D
Yeah, I have NEVER used my Nspire for math after installing Ndless.

Yeah, it gets the 250hr figure with alkalines.
I don't think it'll be banned on the tests, otherwise it would lower sales.

The Classpad 330 had 512kb of RAM, so the Prizm's should be at least that or more.

Apparently, they just calculated just the 2 quadrillionth digit, not everything up to it. Still, it would take a desktop computer 500 years to do that. Did anyone calculate the amount of time needed to do the nspire rsa factorization on just one computer?

I think this is the very first calc with a 16:9 widescreen :)

Undervolting doesn't decrease performance. It simply lowers the operating voltage, leaving the frequency alone. Some chips are better than others at undervolting so they are all set at a high voltage at the factory. (If it is too low processor errors may occur) Read this for the full explanation.

Hopefully the CPU on this will be decent-porting DOOM would be awesome

Something I'd highly reccomend once you finally get the laptop is to undervolt the CPU - it makes it run around 10 C cooler and increases the battery life.

Right now the best hope for keeping the 84 SE alive is to make an accurate emulator for the nspire.

Just remembered something else happening at my school - people are renaming desktop icons.
MS Word = MS Turd
Firefox = Fox humping the world
GIMP = PIMP (I started that one ;) )
MS Excel = MS SEXcel
Premier Tools = Premier Fools
The librarian always insists on doing a complete reimaging of the hard drive, and is threatening us with suspensions.

How'd they find the time to do that without getting caught? It takes time to unscrew those locks from the door.

Why'd you ask, though? The ROM isn't available for download now either, anyway, because it's illegal. Except for the OS, which TI will almost definitely take off their website.

The ROM includes the following things:
- OS pages
- archive pages (160Kb on the TI-83+, 128 to 192Kb on the TI-73, 480Kb on the TI-84+, 1.5Mb on the TI-83+SE/84+SE)
- certificate page (16Kb)
- boot code page (16Kb)

* We can easily rebuild the OS pages from a 73u/8xu update file, which are freely distributed.
* We don't need the archive pages and may let them blank. They'll just have to be remormatted by doing a reset.

So the only thing that is preventing us from distributing "working" ROMs, is a little 32Kb (certificate and boot).
Ridiculous, isn't it ? ;)
We could reverse engineer that part.

I was thinking of using Kon-Boot to to get the administrators password hashes, cracking them at home, then writing the password down and leaving it in the hallway for whomever to find it.
