off topic: is fisch a real word?
It's not in the Webster or Oxford dictionary.  If you make a lot of people say it, it will eventually end up in the dictionary, though.  :P

What are your opinions of this commercial ;) ?
I'm personally rather surprised by hearing Dubstep in a commercial.

It's good advertising.  In which country do they sell this cereal?

What the!? 
EDIT: Ooh, I wonder how much it takes to cause the stack to overflow...

TI-BASIC is fast.
Wow.  I never thought I would hear that.

Yes, but in solid state electronics, only the electrons move.  Most of the current world relies on solid state electronics.  (I've seen silicon chips, but I've never seen a liquid computer.)

Other / Electron Flow vs Conventional Current
« on: September 28, 2011, 06:06:37 pm »
One of my biggest gripes of electronics is the implication that electricity flows from positive charge to negative charge.  This is of course incorrect, because electrons move from atom to atom. 
Positive charge can move in a liquid, but electricity is used more frequently in solid state electronics (as stated above).

Which convention do you think is the most practical. 
I personally think that someone should rewrite the books and make everything more consistent.

My teachers never say anything about calculator programs, so...

In the new screenshot, the ball animation looks a lot better.  I like how it move in the direction you are moving.  :)

Is it like SkyRoads?  Either way, it looks great!

zContest looks interesting!  There is a small sliver of hope that I might enter!  :)

I think you should have the OS on EEPROM or Flash and data on the SD card.  You can then copy the program from the SD card and then execute it from the SRAM.

I was pretty sure z80's were only a couple of cents...well maybe that's just how much it takes to produce them...
Yes.  I'm pretty sure you are correct.  I was quoting the retail price.  :)

Why do they charge $115 for the calc, though?  It was even more than the Prizm at my local Office Depot!

A z80 is only about $5.  You can get a better LCD screen for about $15.

My face is quite wide, thank you very much.  :P

Great idea!  Are there any ideas of somehow integrating the music with Timgul?
