So blinking the led without any access blocking will be an early task for the subversive TI hacker.
- jacquesm 17y agoCue the next round of profits for TI, after all, now everybody will have to buy a new and more secure model.
- icefox 17y agoCrazy what they have these days. Back when I was in high school (first year they required the 83) our teachers simply required we showed every step. So we could get the answer with a few key presses, but unless we showed how to get the answer we wouldn't get credit. Of course I wrote programs to solve the problems step by step and print out the answer, but I guess the system works because in the process of being clever and writing the programs I of course learned how to solve the problems step by step.
- euroclydon 17y agoI had a nice and crazy little Chinese professor for numbers theory in college. I never knew what he was saying, but he would tell us the questions for the exam the day before. I asked him if I could use my ti-92+ and he said yes, so I just programmed in brute force algorithms, entered in the data, then sat back while the 10MHz processor crunched.

- duskwuff 17y agoOr, at least, it would if anyone used the Nspire. I've never heard of a school using them - everyone has standardized on the 83 / 84.
