Believe it or not, The 84 is still fairly good all around. Nothing beats a dedicated hardware keypad (read: not a keyboard) for mathematics entry. I too delve into using the computer for mathematics. The calculator was way faster, entrywise. As for the 4-5 second delay in graphing, adjust xres, or get a faster calculator, or look into overclocking (not kidding). I also used an 89 for years, and 8 years later the 89 is still my go-to calculator.
To summarize : Computer for general homework == pain in the ass. Dedicated hardware is still the way to go.
Don't provide the end result, only the resources to create it. Print out all of the work. Printing is important because: a) it gives you a physical representation of the work, signed by the student. b) it allows you to thumb through them quickly and spot the duplicates (read: cheaters) c) allows you to prove this cheating relatively easily to administration, and give examples of non-cheating to compare to. Even though the students are all working towards a common goal, every image will come out different. Colors won't be exact, positions different, cut-lines different. Every image has a "signature", which makes duplicates and highly similar images (read: cheating with obfuscation) stand out when you physically look at each set of images individually.
Picking out the cheaters is much easier than it seems. Don't overthink this.
The explanation you seek was in the my original submission:
Given that the users of Slashdot are by far some of the best-qualified most discerning opinion-givers I've ever seen, what do YOU think is the best set of head-mounted loudspeakers for the money, with a cost of less than $50?
I asked Slashdot, because Slashdot is one of the few places I've found that has an active community that obviously understands my particular...eccentricities.
I don't want consistent comparisons, nor do I need a forum full of buzzwords and fanboys to sort through. I wanted the opinions of THIS diversified and experienced community, and that's precisely what I got.
At risk of my tiny bit of karma, thank you for completely avoiding my original question./Sarcasm
Here is how: you scan a person at atomic resolution.
I foresee problems with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Unfortunately, I cannot simultaneously explore both the possibility of the problem and the implications it may have with respect to the outcome of said scan.

On topic 3 I recommend the "remesh" or "decimate" modifiers.
Unfortunately, there is no -1 Just Plain Wrong.
The downside is you may get sudden mental crashes.

My computer stores bits as arbitrary analog charges inside the floating gate of a floating gate transistor, you insensitive clod!

And with this...we're one step closer to the zombie apocalypse.
As a general rule....yes.
This is my shocked face...

The Comcast 300MB data cap is good for maybe 60-70 hours of HD video.
That's an incredible codec!

Hows that for counterfeiting? We now have fake random numbers that are indistinguishable from REAL random numbers
