if he turns his monitor sideways, does it go into scientific mode like the iphone? :p

Prof won't let us use our smartphones on the test
For what?

Go to eBay. Search for HP 28S or 48G/GX. Done.

All of my notes are for the TI-8*
Yep. Downloaded that and one called "Barcode Scanner" that had the best reviews. Cool apps.
Which one do you like better? I havnt tried the other

Bane's AT post of the day:

1) With regards to NFL kickoff - well, that was a fun show. Clay Mathews is a beast. The GB front defensive line is massive. That new kid Cobb is going to be on highlights all week. Ingram is pretty damn good, so is Sproles.

2) With regards to Peyton Manning - aw, what the fuck. I'm disappointed. I not like him, but I do respect him, and the league is better for having him around. Except when the Patriots are playing the Colts. :p But seriously, if this is the beginning of the end for him, the NFL loses for it. CLONE PEYTON MANNING!

3) I have returned to work. The bosses leave us alone more than usual, which is fine by me. I still remember most of the locations of things, methods of stuffs, and register operations - so it's all good. I should be back up to full speed by the end of next week. My coworker is still smoking hot, but she started hiding that more over the summer, which is disappointing.

4) Registered for all necessary classes. History is laughably easy, there's some paperback books that'll tell me a lot about the prof's politics. I have those books I think, but I need to get my circuit book and calculus book - unfortunately, the bookstore will charge bullshit prices for them, online will take a while to ship used. Damn. The physics recitation teacher is much better than the previous one. The calculus teacher speaks a little quietly, and I have zero fucking clue what is going on in that class so far, but he does speak clear English and seems like a decent dude. Still haven't seen circuit theory.

5) My chair is squeaking, this is annoying.

6) My car. Oh, my car. 130 miles on it in three days - school is only 18 miles round trip. It's been pouring the past two days, which tends to mean speed traps are less prevalent, so I've been having a blast. Rain driving has gone from a sucky worrisome necessity to pretty damn fun. I already had an Accord V6 think he could take my lane ahead of me, which was amusing. It's stupidly easy to speed in this, my cruising speed is an utterly effortless 40-45. I'm behaving... mostly. I'm not tailgating people much, even though the control of the G is sharper than the GP ever was, I'm just not comfortable with that yet, and I'm more worried about this car. The slap-shifter goes the wrong direction, something I'd heard, but never understood until now. The Yokohama 215/55R17 all seasons are fantastic so far. I've only made the tires squeak a little bit, and that involved a left turn accelerating, about 30 at the time I hit a small bump and heard the tires chirp. Honestly, I think the handling of this car will be as much limited by body roll (counterable with coilovers and sway bars) as it is by narrow A/S tires. Today is the first dry day though, so it's the first day I've gotten to play with that at all. I'm slower taking off in lefts, because I expect to break tires loose under the acceleration it has, when actually, I won't as quickly. Learning the shift points quickly so I can expect them. It's a dominant force on any road; small surface streets, big surface streets, multi-lane, stop lights, highway... oh, the highway. I remember taking about a mile to take my GP from 85 to 109, I haven't gone all the way with this, but it's not going to take anywhere near that long. I think I want to find a track, because it won't stop at 109 this time. Nearest one is probably Epping. Maintenance will go up, repair cost down, it's a wash. Seems to be inhaling fuel, partly me playing around. Brakes will need more frequent replacement, my desired high-end tires will need more frequent replacement, fluids are pricier, but it's okay. I don't expect major breakage, and that more than makes up for pricier maintenance. Oh, and zero regrets on the cost of it.

7) Added the second GTX 460, the squealing sound has gotten a little worse, and there's now an odd fan noise. I think it's the PSU that's protesting the load; but the load is about 50% of what it can take, so that means defective. Not interested in ripping the machine apart, but once the AC goes out for the fall, I'll be listening to the squeal continuously, and that will drive me completely insane. The boot takes forever, and I still can't get the damn thing to remember my server password, which is bothersome. On the plus side, I can hold 60 FPS in SCII, which was the goal of going SLI. Haven't run a Protoss test yet, but the only dip below 60 with Terrans was while looking at an MMM ball numbering about 80 units.

8) Speaking of finances, I couldn't pick up an extra day at work, so that's very disappointing. Good news is I can probably live with the Yoko A/S tires, helpful given limited funds, bad news is, they have 3-4 years, and my patience is not that long-lived, but after a year or so, they'll be too worn to be worth anything for trade. Scarred my right rear wheel, very pissed at myself for it, I'm going to try JB Weld and some silver paint to at least conceal it. First fucking day. Anyways, projectors would be nice, but I think I can live with these, we'll see when it gets darker for the winter. The upper light bay almost forms a projector, it even has a cutoff for the xenons, but it's nowhere near the brilliance of HID projection. Lower bay works wonderfully with its bihalogen, I'd much rather not have to ruin that for the projectors, but projectors just can't fit in the upper bay without going Morimoto. Tempted by Hakkapellitta winter tires (that is pretty much the most awesome tire name too), can't find Gislaved NF5, Blizzaks wear fast, so I'll still probably end up going with Conti's. These are not optional - I will have winter tires.

9) School parking has gotten worse. Not only did they cut off more spaces for teachers, they got rid of the overflow lot. Now there is only that one lot, and it is full by 9:00. Fucking idiots. $176 for a parking pass, yet they reduced parking by 40%. PAVE THE FIELDS, OR REFUND HALF THE PASS COST, YOU FUCKS.

10) And the city still hasn't finished the bridge construction. It's been ongoing for at least three years, probably more towards five. If they weren't government/contract workers/unionized, any company would have fired them for incompetence by now.

And.... I think that's it! Still gotta figure out a 50k post. :awe:
