    motorists are capable of driving along with their heads turned 90 degrees to face their passenger and can drive for endless miles through the traffic without looking where they're going.

    Not to mention turning the steering wheel in circles while going down a straight road.

    TB shots get revenue for someone, too lazy to check for who. We know smoking hurts people, but it brings the government money, and a very important part of our economy. They cant eliminate smoking, just like they cant eliminate the threat of TB.

    Not exactly, thats one person that spoke out. The others may have just seen the regular lawyer bills for a simple civil case. They were put in a position where they lose no matter what. Either they pay 3000 or they pay 50,000 for lawyers. There is no point in fighting if you dont have an infinite supply of money.

    You can write programs to solve those equations. I wrote programs to solve just about every problem in my DiffEq and Calc 3 in college, beats sleeping in class.

  14. Re:Great, more calculator dependence on TI-84 Plus Released · · Score: 1

    Different classes would require different camps. An honors/AP/High level college cource should require knowing more than just using calculators. But who cares about the lower classes. Those people are less likely to need anything more than a calculator for taxes in the future.

  15. Re:Great, more calculator dependence on TI-84 Plus Released · · Score: 1

    The Ti 89 would say 12/13. When I was in High School, 98-02, teachers didnt yet understand the power of the 89. They still required work on everything, but they rarely looked at it. During class I wrote programs to do the problems. And then just ran them on the exams. Put some mindless dribble and then the correct answer at the end. On a completely unrelated topic about showing work, when I was in High school I took a Russian class. I speak Russian fluently and so did most of the class. We did nothing in that class, and it was honors. When we turned in papers, we would write "Mrs. Shane are you reading this?" in random places in our essays. She never said anything...

  18. Compatible on TI-84 Plus Released · · Score: 1

    The new screen may make the sprites designed for the Ti 83 not work. Ti has a long history of offering useless updates, many of which disable old assembly programs and games. For example all the OS updates to the 89. There were practicly no differences between all the 2.0x versions. It seemed all they did was disable assembly programs I was already using. So I just stopped at 2.05 and haven't cared since. BTW a great site to get all your Ti stuff is TiCalc.org, although it is now somewhat censored.

    But what about the post example, selling Nazi propoganda on EBay? In that case, as long as you didnt sell them to German citizens you would be off the hook.

    Also what if you cracked into a bank in another country and transferred a bunch of funds for yourself. You have not been in that country, but you have commited a crime.

    The joke actually goes like this:

    Two guys were standing in line. Both noticed they had black eyes. One of them asked the other
    "How did you get yours?"
    "Well I was in the park and I made a Freudian slip. I saw a women with her kids and I meant to say 'You have lovely kiddies', but instead I said 'You have some lovely titties'. How did you get yours?"
    "Ironically I also had a Freudian slip. I was having breakfast with my wife of 30 years. I wanted to say 'Pass the cereal, please', but instead I said 'You ruined my life you stupid bitch'."

    I specifically mean can't. You can look up the case against the RIAA. Or the recent case where MS is still paying out millions. MS is 100% pure monopoly. Monopoly was originally defined as controlling 25% of the market. With MS controlling something like 94% of the PC market it is a monopoly. Because they have so much control, they can force companies out of business if they do not abide by their rules. This means not letting software companies design software for competing OS's. Or forcing hardware companies to not release their codes to the open source community.
