I'd be happy with a desktop bitboys part. Though tax cuts are always nice.

I'd be happy with a desktop bitboys part.

Now, that would be interesting. So would something with PowerVR written on it. This was so mysterious that it has me going. I'm just hoping the calculator is not for recomputing my mortgage to be able to afford whatever it is that is cool and coming...

Hmmm...... 2 Geforce 6800 Ultras $$$$$$$$, 1 dual pci-express 16x motherboard $$$$$$$, 650 watt pwersupply $$$$$$$, 1 server case..............

Guess I'm going to need a calculator

Oh how I'd love for it to be something PowerVR related, sadly it's most likely not. (Nappe1 apparently has contacts at BitBoys, that's why I made the conclusion I did).

Sadly once again I doubt we'll be that lucky. Seeing as BB is totally focused on the embedded space this is probably going to be an announcement of Ti or HP using their chips in some fancy super duper calculators. Which actually could be pretty damn cool.

It's obviously going to be the countdown code for 3DMark05

I wonder what the people over at halflife2.net would hope it was....

 

[Jodi]

Grasping at straws

Is it PowerVR Series 6?

 

[Hyp-X]

It's obviously going to be the countdown code for 3DMark05

Hmm. I'd bet on this one.

finally

Seriously..... :?

 

[Mendel]

well, I believe Nappe...

When he says He's got an Axe, He damn right walked to Assembly 2004 with an Axe and showed it to me, even though all sharp things and even some not so sharp tools were pretty much banned

Sooo... When he says it's time to pull out my pocket calculator for tomorrow... damn right! I will!
In fact, here is my Texas Instruments TI-85, I like to call her Jane, I'm feeding her some fresh batteries right now. With love. She'll be ready.

edit: mmmm os-85...mmmm...tetris...

finally

Seriously..... :?

Someone said.... SERIOUS??????

 

[Mendel]

Ok, now there are some quite good people with all the calculators so could we please keep this thread spoiler free please. So once someone has figured it out, just post "got what it is about" or "got it" (got what it is about and did the calculation) Maybe if you must spoil it then rot13 it

edited for stealthiness

 

[digitalwanderer]

Will I need any more than my shortcut to window's calculator or is this gonna involve funky calculus type stuff where you need one of them calculators with all them fancy-pants buttons? :|

Or did I disqualify myself with the question....

 

[Ailuros]

If it would be FutureMark related, it would most likely be something from them, yet not for the PC.

I know nothing about the crime of course.

I think the word "cool" is being used as in "cold" here and not "kewl"....just a hunch.
