How many people do you see at the library getting their rocks off to porn? Usually the library internet crowd can barely manage to check their hotmail and find something on yahoo...I think the humiliation of sitting in the middle of the library where everyone can see you looking at porn is deterance enough.
Well if this is like any other HP calculator or any HP product in general, I'm sure they will find someway to screw it up. Am I the only one that finds the HP-49G a pain to use, especially in a class or on a test? I use the TI-89 for anthing important, and the 49 to keep the papers from flying off my desk. The user interface is awful, and the key combos to do even simple functions are rediculous sometimes. Not only that, but I don't want to sit there forever while that little 4 MHz Saturn processor thinks and thinks and thinks, and don't even get me started on that so-called step-by-step differentiating and integrating and the fun of programming in RPN. I'll have to take a look at this new calculator when it comes out, but I sure hope HP will find some people capable of mixing powerful functions and user-friendliness.
Do yourself a favor and don't get the TI-86, get the TI-89. Not only does it have the flash ROM, but it also has enough built-in functions to get you comfortably through at least calc I. I have the TI-92 which I used for 3 years of high school, plus the TI-89 and the HP-49G. The HP-49G is a waste of money unless you like slow processors, and a horrible and confusing user interface. The 89 is the best and most user friendly calculator for the classroom available in my honest opinion, plus the massive availability of cool programs assures its usefulness in physics, chemistry, and other math classes beyond just calculus. I swear by it. (and oh ya it looks just like the 86 should your teacher not want you to have all that power in a little calculator for algebra 2:) )
Try dragging your SGI mainframe into your calc III class when you need to see something graphed in 3 dimensions. I carry 2 of these beasts with me to every math class (the TI-89 and the HP-49G [POS, don't get it]) and they never fail to be useful, especially having the 89 when the school tells everyone to get a slow, and painfully obsolete HP-48.
Thats not how it works at all. The string that he copied and pasted was taken from a head request. Connect to www.hotmail.com on port 80 and type "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" followed by 4 or so returns. You will see the version of the web server it is running and usually the OS it was compiled on (if its Apache) along with the mods. This works for most web servers unless the feature has been intentionally turned off.
I think a lot of people are missing the obvoius solution for this potential problem. First off nobody would even download the add ridden mp3s when they can get addless from a CD somebody ripped, and second the solution wouldn't be some kind of automated add stripper. Odds are that it would be too unreliable and companies would find ways around it. You don't need a whole mp3 file for it to play so the software solution would just be a small program that would remove the data from seconds 0-30 or wherever the add happened to be.
Come on now fellas. You can't be serious here. BeOS is cool, but its not in the same class as something like Mac OS X. At least use something before you attempt to belittle it.
If you think about it, all stars must be moving because everything in the universe has been moving since the supposed "big bang". If anything the star would be stationary relative to the observer, but it would still be moving since the universe is perpetually expanding until it either collapses back down on itself or breaks free and continues expanding indefinantly.

This is the oxy moron of the day. Spoken like Windows/Linux user trying to justify the complexity of their OS.
