I was the first student in my high school to have a TI-92 in 1995 or 96 and I got a TI-89 in 1998 when they were first released. Symbolic manipulation with the CAS and "pretty print" were awesome at the time and was wonderful going through college math courses with trig, stats, linear algebra, and calculus.
When my oldest needed a calculator for his advanced math class in middle school, I picked it up and reminisced the memories of using one. I tried to remember how to do a few interesting thinks, and like you, I drew a blank.
TI-82 and TI-83 are discontinued. Period. Go look on TI's website and you won't find them under the current products. You may be able to find them "new" but that is just old stock that never sold. Amazon themselves does not sell either of those new, all listings that have a new link are from 3rd party sellers.
TI-83 Plus is available new, from Amazon, for 93.01 as of this posting.
If your school REQUIRES either a TI-82 or TI-83 and not any of the newer variants than that's your school's damn fault. Their is not a significant functional difference between any of the TI-83 and TI-84 product lines in their basic use.
The TI-83 Plus is still around because schools do have a very large investment over the years and it is easier if just one model is maintained by the school system. The same principal applies to computers for instance when a company standardizes on one particular model. They stick with that same base model for longer than what the consumer market might as it's cheaper to maintain, stock spare parts, certifying software and accessory hardware, etc.
Chevrolet Suburban was introduced in 1935. Eighty fucking year old tech and they have the gall to ask $50k list for those pieces of shit... Oh wait. The model has actually changed over the years and it's not the same thing that was introduced long ago despite it still having the same original purpose.
TI-82 and TI-83 was discontinued in 2004. They've been replaced with more modern successors with updated features. You can find new TI-83+ for less than half your stated MSRP or if you don't mind used, half again. I think I picked up a Ti-84 Plus C Silver Edition, Texas Instrument's most advanced model without stepping up to the TI-89 or Nspire lines, for about $80.
Sure you could get a mediocre tablet for that price. And TI is probably milking that product line design for a fortune by now. But they're built like a tank, most text books and school curriculum are written with them in mind, and they're usable on almost any standardized test a high school or college student will encounter. Plus they're built like tanks and aside from batteries, are close to indestructible unless you use them as a hammer or Frisbee.
The overall mood at the organization isn't fantastic, the've lost a lot of top talent, a significant percentage the IT department is contractors now, and some very large on-going IT infrastructure projects halted or failed outright.
Sounds like a great place to work with such an optimistic future outlook, although that same description probably applies to a lot of companies with a more traditional organization.
This is exactly what I thought too and wondered if I missed something. It'd be like picking your fantasy team solely based on average draft position. Yeah you get to see who's hot, but there little guarantee that it will matter much.
Maybe FanDuel and DraftKings needs to ban contestants from using fantasy game stat prediction sites too???
now many people are going with tablets and phone only internet connections and are cutting their local wi-fi/cable internet connection.
Do you have anything to support this claim? I know numerous people that have cut the cord regarding cable tv but kept internet, but no one that has dropped their traditional broadband for only wireless. The only two people I know that have cellular-only internet live out in the sticks where traditional broadband doesn't extend to and there is no other practical alternatives.
I actually feel bad for some lowly analyst job at the FCC that has to read each and every one of these complaints and issue some type of a response to the complaint. In between fits of laughter from what was submitted, and uncontrollable crying when you realize you're job is to read them.
It's not as if they have to print it all out; I'm sure there's many a web-designer who could whip up a site with the content of the treaty in less than a day.
They don't HAVE to, but they opted to. It's not their fault you didn't find the one unlinked web page on some random government server to request your hard copy with 30-day lead time requirement. But it was available to be requested.
You're right, it doesn't HAVE to. But what I wrote is likely the reason why there is a delay. On my Windows 7 laptop using Chrome, requesting a non-existent file on a port not open on localhost takes 1 second ± a few milliseconds before timing out.
I run a development server on localhost so I can't just reject any connection to port 80, and whatever delay I do encounter due to a 404 is minimal enough that I don't bother "fixing" the problem any better than what I've already have.
So because Amazon was originally a "general store" they must always be that first and foremost at the expense of developing their own brand's products?
Amazon made a business decision. They entered one market and made the ultimate decision not to continue to support direct competing products in that limited area. They aren't blocking all Google or Apple products and accessories. And both of those products are available at an abundant number of other online and brick & mortar retail outlets so it's not like it's crippling Google and Apple's retailing opportunities.
I am a Prime subscriber and own a Fire TV stick. But I also own multiple other Google and Apple products. I have zero problem with what Amazon did because it's their store and they are hardly a monopoly in the particular area of streaming devices. And while they are a behemoth in ecommerce, Amazon is still third fiddle next to Apple and Google.
It also seems to dramatically slow down a small handful of sites - I'm not sure why.
When you redirect an ad server to 127.0.0.1 the connection has to timeout trying to connect to a non-existent server. Depending on what's trying to be loaded, it may block subsequent requests until the timeout happens, or result in an error that breaks the page if it's trying to load a javascript resource. If you redirect it to a IP address that responds with a 404 or a dummy transparent image or javascript file, then any blocking is minimize and the page can load faster.
How is this Google's fault? Why aren't you having the EU tackle all the companies that would be sharing their data with Google in the first place? Seems like you're attacking the side affect and not the actual problem.
It should be noted, however, that the three credit record agencies cannot prevent someone from getting credit in your name.And apparently for 15m people, at least one of the three credit record agencies may be assisting others getting credit in your name...
Price depends on the reseller. Just google NBN satellite price and you'll get a variety of answers. Here's one for example.

I remember seeing my first flat screen TV in a high end electronics showroom back in 1997. I don't remember the exact size or price, but it was at least 50" and over $20k. I thought it was ridiculous that someone would pay that much for a TV and that I'd never be able to afford one. Walmart has a 50" LED TV that's probably has better technical specs in every way for $300 on their website.
New technology is always expensive for the early adopters. But after that new technology is a generation or two old, newer revised generations is often drastically cheaper.
I understand that if you upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 then your W7 license key is invalidated by the upgrade so you just can't go back even if you have a full backup.
Incorrect. Your old key continues to work and you can restore from backup or reinstall your old OS. Legally you're not allowed to upgrade to W10 and then use the W7 license for another computer, a VM, etc. But if you decide W10 isn't for you you can go back to your W7 license. It's the same thing as it's always been for commercial software upgrade licenses.
A separate 3x2 or 4x2 HDMI matrix switch and USB switch would be significantly cheaper than a all-in-one solution. It would be a few extra button presses, but for the money saved it wouldn't be that bad.
I really wish there was a way to make those URL thingies clickable. You could even just make microkernel and monolithic take you straight there so you wouldn't have to break the flow of the sentence with the URL in parenthesis.

Isn't a large portion of that double or triple price due to import duties/taxes/fees?
So what "insider" information would the employee have?

So when will Google and Apple be selling Fire products in their respective stores?
No.
Or just as likely, psychological problems NOT being treated by FDA approved big Pharma drugs.
And what did Apple think that they were going to do with it? Not tear it apart?
