My Dad used a Slide Rule for years after calculators came in, borrow a colleagues Commodore job and went and bought his own in the lunch hour!

I still have a wood slide-rule I used in school once...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I still have my Pickett aluminum slide-rule from 12th grade.
The same model as used as the "backup computer" on the Lunar Excursion Module.
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

Yup just got the Google result with Windows Calc with the others you could have been missing a bracket 206^(1/3) = 5.9********** (lots), 436 /5.905**** = 73.823973307301006514411338188927
Check your brackets (and treat it like an old Casio!) They would give the right answers with a bit of fiddling)...

And I'm reposting it now, IMHO this is a bad idea.

I downvoted you last time. This time you're safe.

Can't lie, it's better to get one downvote then 18,000 of them.

You're just lucky that it's been disabled here.

There's nothing we like more than a repost.

Can you post it once more, I didn't read you well the first time.

You can say that again.

wiki/Johnny_Winter[^] His performance at Woodstock still gets me rockin. Any one who played with Muddy Waters is cool in my book.

As I read your post, look at the crazy targeted ad (for Motown music) which appeared at the top of CodeProject.
Wow!!!

They know everything!!!

Well a comment from some one, "he didn't look well at the best of times"...but I know what you mean (Tommy Shannon for me!)

I was looking for a desktop Whatsapp!
Lo and behold, there is one!
"Whatsapp Messenger for Windows 8."
And then.. it installed no less than 6 crapware!
I can't get rid of the last one "omega-plus"
When I go to control panel "uninstall" it... starts to install it! 
Arg...
Will have to go the good old registry way! 
|
|
|
|

The "uninstall" in the control panel is simply a registry entry that points to the installer/uninstaller executable. It's easy enough to lie to it.
