Pretty Print for TI-83+
Posted by Eric on 15 January 2002, 09:41 GMT

Pretty PrintSebastian Theiss sent me word of a nifty little program he wrote that brings the ever-useful pretty print function to the TI-83+. With this function, you can now visualize and edit complex mathematical expressions in the way a TI-89 or TI-92+ does. Go download it. Pretty Print is also integrated into the Symbolic v1.6 by Brandon Sterner.

I have Rom 1.14, and It wont let me delete the finance App. Is there anyway to get rid of it?

You can't delete that app because it's not an app.

it's just a built in feature accessed from the APPS menu

Cut the memory out of your calc. There, it's gone.

What happened here? Weren't there almost 150 posts? Why are there less than 60 now? Is TIcalc filtering out stuff without the usual "this has been removed" message? Why?

I agree? What's with deleting all these comments? Many of them did not violate the acceptable use policy!

Usual? You're thinking about posts which have redeeming content or comments underneath them before I can get to them. That didn't happen here, unfortunately.

Oh, and of course that's a very new feature, added at my request. But if you look hard, you'll find at least one message that was blocked and not deleted....

But with so much junk messages that had *nothing* to do with the topic and many which were quite inane (thankfully limited to only a couple of users), it was time for drastic action.

I'm glad that they deleted some. Most didn't aply to the topic.
Anyways, I think that PrettyPrint is a great step forward in the history of the 83+!
Nice Job!!!

But why just start now? I mean, this has been going on for some time, and there has been little censorship of this sort until now.

Unfortunately, this "drastic action" also succeded in deleting a few comments that were not breaking any rules, and were either relevant and/or part of a serious conversation. And you still could not get everything, could you?

Oh yes, and what "new feature" are you referring to?

The peculiar thing about beginning an agressive enforcement of anything is that you must, in the end, pick an arbitrary point in time to begin. I thought January 1st would be a good time. What's been up with last week? First week of my classes.

Sometimes, yes, relevant comments do get deleted. But one must weigh the positives and negatives of comment content. If you don't want your comment deleted, follow the terms of use, and don't reply to other comments which are in violation. If you do one of these things, then do it with the knowledge that your comment may be moderated.

Did I get everything? No. I never will, because it's impossible to completely moderate a comment board while still maintaining a good sense of free speech (which does not exist on this site, which is a privately operated entity based in the Kingdom of Sweden and where US laws do not apply at all, whatsoever, thank you). Why don't I delete everything in the world that's off-topic? Because honestly if something is interesting or looks like it might be, I usually leave it up, since I know these comment boards serve as more than just that.

What it comes down to is simply this--I'm the news editor, that's me. I make the decisions and the answer for "why was this done" is always because "I did it." Do you have to like it? No. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. But I'm the one moderating. I know that's harsh, but it's life. If you ever see a comment you think should go or have another concern, email me (preferably at news@ticalc.org) and I'll have a look or I'll answer your question.

New feature? The ability to delete a post's content so that all of its child posts are not lost. This is useful, for instance, when we don't get to a post in time and it spawns interesting or useful or relevant content. Once again, as decided by me.
