TI-BASIC / Re: String to List Glitch

(less useful tip)
You can also do it from the editor. Just select the header, and type your function in with quotation marks.

it actually doesn't cost a lot... though I'm still surprised that he bothered to pay.

TI Z80 / Re: Pythagorean Program

I'm not sure if you can use this, but the most efficient way (that at least I could think of) to find a third base given two bases (and the third value set to 0) is:
Code: [Select]
:Prompt A,B,C
:C²-B²-A²
:√(Ans-2Ansnot(C

I also made some minor optimizations to your code:

Code: [Select]
::"PYTHAGOREAN FINDER

:100→dim(L1

but do you still need a mac?

@Eeems_ I'm not familiar with iPhone development, but how can you do that without coughing up the money for the developer connection?  Anyways, sounds like a really interesting project.  Good luck!

@DJO Hell no.  Thank God.

...Oklahoma offers a full ride, travel stipends, and $1500 for a laptop...

@jsj795
Stupid MIT, they rejected me too :P  I would go to the Public school; did you feel that the private one was really all that much better than the public?

@DJO I was already accepted, thankfully.  I haven't heard of any US colleges capping the number of students who can accept; if you're in, you're in (assuming you don't do something idiotic).  The one thing is that the earlier your accept, the more options you have with housing ans such.

@Tizona Nice!  I actually have a good friend who's going to RIT... Carnegie Mellon and Ohio State.

Thanks guys... I've decided to visit CMU over break and just see what it's like, as well as beg for more financial aid.

Miscellaneous / College Decision Help
« on: March 29, 2010, 08:12:53 pm »
As a high school senior, my life is pretty much revolving around where I plan to go for college.  I've narrowed it down to two schools, and was wondering if you guys (and girl) could help.

Option 1) AMAZING computer science school, in a nice city, that's the perfect distance away from home (like a 3 hour drive).  They're offering a healthy amount of scholarship money, but it'll still cost me a hefty $40K a year... and I'm planning on being financially independent.

Option 2) Strong, local school in my hometown that's basically huge. They're giving me a full ride, but both my parents work there (in the same department in which I would be taking classes), and plus, I would really like to explore the world outside of Ohio.

For a computer science major, do you think it's worth taking up that much debt just to go to a (significantly) better school?

Bah, my parents use AOL Desktop :(  'Nuff said.

My thoughts;

1) merge "news" and "new posts".  Maybe even with "Forum"
2) move "projects" to "downloads"
3) potentially remove "logout"

TI-BASIC / Re: TI-83/84 Function Map
« on: March 18, 2010, 09:34:37 pm »
Sorry to hear that :/


Just one correction:
hmphh, i assumed omnicalc would protect my ram after the OS update

Omnicalc does not "protect" RAM; rather, it offers a way to quickly restore your RAM.  After a RAM-clear, double tap PRGM, go to "MISC", select "RestoreMem(", and then press enter. Tada, RAM restored.

@Gale
Might be that an app like xLib/CelticIII is conflicting; open the Omnicalc app, and reinstall it.  Ought to work.
