umm...amidst of all these no-doubt informative discussion, I found no one here appreciated how cool Hardware Hacking can be. And when it is done with something as minimalist as a Calculator(while these have more power than the first PDPs at MIT labs),there is just one word for it MIND BLOWING. I mean...look at them, they are making fcking GAMES for these. DUDE even FPS?A FPS on a calculator,in your face X-Box.

- rick_2047 17y agoOk the mentioning that they are cool can be a bad post but not that bad dude.Cool your heels
- rick_2047 17y agoOkeyyy...If I getting down voted these many times,hardware hacking may not be cool.Or did something else ticked someone off?Please any comment might help me understand what is so offensive about this post.
- pmjordan 17y agoI'd guess that your tone, combined with the borderline off-topic-ness and the fact that you haven't really added anything to the conversation ticked people off. I wouldn't and didn't downvote you based on that comment, but certainly wouldn't upvote. I suspect if you'd phrased it differently and maybe made it a little more useful, people would have responded differently, e.g. "I really admire these calculator hackers, it's amazing what can be done on these simple machines, e.g. these cool games: [link], [link] and [link]." The HN userbase appreciates a high signal/noise ratio. Merely calling something "cool" is considered noise. Hope that helps.
