Its a bit taller (131×80 vs 131×64), contrast is improved and glare reduced. The screen is noticeably better than the one in the 49g.

Last time I checked the 50g was their top of the line calculator. Well built, powerful enough and with a good, clear, easy to read BW lcd. Software wise... it has not changed much. The 50g uses its "powerful" 200mhz processor to emulate the old 4-8mhz saturn one, the software in gneneral is just a minor evolution from the one found in an older 49g, it runs faster but thats about it. The one gripe I have with the 50g is its battery life, probably related to the fact that it its running everything emulated.

Do I hope HP will do something about its aging calculator lineup? No.
Am I happy with the current calculators? Yes.
Will I be tempted to buy a Casio or a TI? Hell no, once you go RPN you never go back.

There is an xkcd for that too http://xkcd.com/1060/

The original palm pre was poorly engineered, the slider was a mess and flex cables were a prominent point of failure (had some issues with power managment too). further revisions improved the design but early adopter certainly got sub-par hardware. The pre plus addressed some of the most notable quality issues. The pre 2 improved further and the pre 3 was a completely new and much more solid design. Pixi phones were simple and tough. The touchpad had some problems with the housing (brittle plastic, hairline cracks). Thats the state of Palm/HP hardware. TL,DR: not great.

Sorry it seemed like an insult, it wasnt intended in that way, I also apologize for my spelling and overall english, the previous message was written on a touchscreen and in a language other than my own.

I saddens me that your post had no relation to the article, what is happening on NY is wrong and sad, a complete lack of common sence a propper judgement, I wrote the above reply in a hurry and it seems that the points I was trying to make did not came out as clear as I desired, I had more than a couple of problem with your post, lest start with what you said here:

The texts you cited (- James 1:2-3, - Galatians 3:10-11, 23-25, - James 1:2-3) make reference to the source of righteous behavior and the law of Mosses, they state that righteous behavior comes from faith and that the laws of Moses are deprecated(Its important to note that the ten commandments are not part of Moses law's) That doesnt mean that morality is not important anymore, not at all, morality is not following rules, a moral act is a good human act made with will and with full use of human freedom. Doing something good just because is law is not a proper moral act. Morality is ever so important in the life of a christian as evindenced in the following passage

Don't know if serious or really extrapolating things too far. I am no bible expert but I'm fairly sure that the galatians passage was about the old law of Moses. Things like feast, food laws, offerings and sacrifices. The James passage talks about religious persecution. Same thing with Luke. I see nothing wrong philipians either.

You have to take in consideration that texts like Romans, Galatians and Philippians were letters, addressed to specific communities which might have been unde persecution at the time. Its not nice to cherry pick passages and bend their meaning to appeal hive mentallity, that stuff I expect from fox news or /r/circlejerk, not a slashdot commen (I .am new here). While not all christians seem to think so, faith has nothing to do with the practice of science and its discoveries, after all, doesn't science seek truth?

Now lets focus on the topic and discuss this stupid ban

Indeed, no nuclear, wind, or hydro energy sourced energy is mentioned. I did like the idea of calories as currency (not a new idea) and the whiteshirt girl (kanya?) subplot was fantastic. I enjoyed the book.

"could result in the extinction of sites that are based on user-generated content like YouTube, Reddit, and StumbleUpon."

What about /.?

Even gas powered, non hybrids can get very decent millage without disregarding safety. The chevrolet cruze eco gets 43 mpg highway while scoring 5 stars on the euro ncap, it also very roomy and the interior is very nice. This is without start and stop, direct injection, and individual, computer operated valve timing (ala fiat's multiair).

We have the technology, we need a commercial reason
