9/12    Since when did they begin dummy proofing the TI-36 calculators to
        accept trig function arguments in degrees instead of radians?
        \_ so you compute temperature by Kelvin too, right?
           \_ Kelvin is the STANDARD.  Unit of temperature.
              \_ yeah, I took physics 7-series too, but who in the hell
                 save the biggest geeks would ever say, "it was pretty
                 damn hot today, it must have been 308.15 K!!!"?
                 \_ what kind of geek would ever say, "it was pretty
                    damn hot today, it must have been {35C,95F}" AND
                    then put the number into a calculator in {C,F} to
                    do something productive with it?
        \_ Isn't this just a mode setting? On the casio I have, you can
           enter in either deg or rad depending on the mode you set it
           to. I usually use deg for everyday stuff, but when I'm doing
           real math, I switch to rad. I would be surprised if the TI
           (much more expensive than my $20 casio) doesn't have the same
           feature. Yeah I have a non-RPN calculator, laugh all you want,
           I bought it cause it was all I could afford when I was in
           school.
           \_ would 20 extra dollars have really killed you?
              \_ I should have been more specific. My calc costed $20
                 retail. I got it free from a friend, so a $40 TI or
                 HP was way out of my price range. Its not anymore, but
                 I don't really need a calc anymore (bc & perl are enough).
