Thats why drones are so popular nowadays. All the benefits of killing people, without all the personal risk. Its a win-win all round. Makes sense doesn't it?

It does, way too much for my own taste. That why it should be banned: it does make it too safe to kill...

Some laws are worth less than friend, even shady friends...
ex: Let's assume that a friend confess to me that he raped a girl last weekend, I would denounce him without a hint of hesitation. Now imagine that he confessed that last weekend he was snorting cocaine on some prostitutes ass; I would not call the cops, would you ?

I am really, really, really bad at organization and business.
The entire math curriculum was design around the limitation of that calculator. Also it helped that most problems that the calculator was unable to solve by itself had a methodical solution taught in the textbook.
So for the problems where the calculator was able to compute the correct answer, I would compute and pretty print the intermediary step backward from there. For the few problems that were beyond the calculator reach I would compute a lot of discriminants, keep the one that matched a known solutions family then I would extract the meaningful coefficient and pretty print the solution with the test used.Since that software was written on the ti-92 keyboard procrastinating instead of drilling myself with math problems in the directed exercise portion of the math classes.
