My math teacher has learned over time that questioning my methods when I get the right answer is not a good idea. Many of my proofs just serve to confuse him and go far above his level of teaching and knowledge. He knows I don't cheat by the fact I can prove everything I do(well 90+% of the time)
He got confused when I tried to explain why you use e^rt in population growth.

Its a summation operator I believe.
I might be wrong here but I believe that is when you sum up all of the numbers in a series up to a certain point. The starting value is defined on the bottom and the ending value is on top.
I'm not sure what all that other stuff is though

I thought I heard that someone had connected to #cemetech with a calc before. shouldn't be much different to connect to #omnimaga instead should it

That was a good read critor. I'll probably follow that just to see how thick-headed people can be.
We can't just have people resetting our calcs that would be very problematic. The one thing I like about the Nspire PTT mode is that it leaves you documents intact. On other calcs teachers just run RAM clears before letting you use them.

The programming abilities help students learn. You can slightly regulate it but don't bring it to the level of Nspire-Basic please. we should not have to make our own programs for programming.

You could type "0.7734" and turn it upside down 
Cheapest trick in the boob book.
Well now we know what Deep Thought thinking of right now...

The character Chuck Norris was originally considered fo the game civ IV but then they realized he would conquer the globe in <0 turns

If the community tried I'm sure we would make an OS that did all the same functions as the official OS, but did them faster and was a good amount smaller.

Our biggest problem is that we have a few people in the clc community that know more and do more for calc's then TI has. TI doesn't check its software enough and leaves that to their customers to figure out how good it is

Yeah schools teach the accepted methods only. My teachers complain whenever I use my own methods if i don't write out my entire proof which is sometimes only in my mind and is usually long
EDIT: changed excepted to accepted

accident probably.
Might have been a cruel joke by TI. we never know how sadistic they are going to be

Kind of. I sit around in class all the time bored after I finish my books and usually I'll think about life, philosophy or math/science(same thing really in my opinion). I have found numerous ways to have easier solving of problems in class. Its just that most of what I figure out is proofs of what I already know or simplification of simple subjects(multiplication/algebra 1/etc). I'll post some of what I figured out later. most of it is published in one form or another and I come across them after I already came up with how to do it.
I'd kind of like to see your method for doing that
EDIT: some of what I did was prove parts of the Vedic Mathematics(Indian methods for efficient math solution) before I knew they existed.
I figured out their multiplication formula
(ax^2+bx+c)*(dx^2+ex+f)=x^4*a*d+x^3(a*e+d*b)+x^2*(b*e+a*f+d*c)+x(c*e+b*f)+c*f
This seems more complicated till you replace x with 10 and see how it is just place value if you flip the left side of the equation so that you go from least to greatest in powers you can do this quickly and accurately in your head.
This also proves that it will work with any base

there should be "4.5. Don't bring yourself into conversations, unless you're 100% certain that you can be rational and impartial". It's hard to do, but often times just staying out of other people's fights will keep the fight from getting too huge.
I agree completely with this. I have done this before on the mint IRC channel. I got into an argument on Irag war and almost got banned. It is almost impossible to stay neutral in arguments.

I think someone might want to lock this
We had problems in the last topic about bin Laden.
I'd love to discuss it but it will just cause arguments and more unneeded problems

Wow this is actually a really fun game.
