Free, Open Source OS For TI Calculators

nicklaszlo writes "TICalc.org announced yesterday that Patrick Pelisier has released a new beta OS, called PedroM, for the TI-89 and TI-92+ under the General Public License. Here is the source and binary. This is the first time a TI calculator has been free of proprietary software. The OS has 32 commands and backward compatibility for assembly programs. You can get a Windows/PC emulator of both calculators, for those who don't have either calculator, or don't want to risk their real system."

    there is not point. since programming the TI is easier than doing real work or making software that makes you money or doing work in a fashion which would, say, be accepted for committing in FreeBSD.

    You see, anyone who does this is a loser that wants to look big.

    And speaking of losers looking big, this is perfect for Slashdot - simplistic programmers fronting for other simplistic programmers.

    Alegbra? If you are still in Algebra class you probably arent smart enough to know what zshell is you fucking PFY.

    And thats such a gentoo-ism plug. You like zsh so you have to plug for it. What a fag.

    WiFi is a gay acronym used by fucking losers. Its wireless, or 802.11x, not WiFi. Market fag.

    And Doom will never be ported to something with as little memory as the TI92 or TI89.

    15-18 years old? You don't even know your own age?

    I don't know if I'd want to be in the shoes of a paint-chip munching fucktard as yourself, to be honest.
