Re: I just created a better calculator...

And since I am simply doing an eval() of whatever you input, it even gives the same result ;-)

Re: I just created a better calculator...

I guess that my point was why do I even need a calculator program? (I'm trying to take what you are saying a step further). There is already something installed on my computer that does it just fine.

OT RANT WARNING....

To me a kalculator is just bloat (in fact 80-90% of kde/gnome are bloat to me). Don't take this the wrong way, I love kde and have been using it on the desktop since 1.x days. But I'd much rather lose all of the bloat. To me more important is to have integration between best of breed apps.

I mostly use audacity, firefox, cinelerra, dvdstyler, gimp, inkscape, eclipse, kde (mostly for k3b and konqueror file browsing (fish://, etc), want to try digikam at some point), emacs. (I'm still looking for the best of breed multimedia app, using xine for dvds and mplayer for things that xine chokes on, but xmms, and noatun just don't feel good). It would be nice if these apps played together nicely (sound, printing, drag and drop, etc). (And that I don't have to install all of the other apps for kde when I mostly just want k3b and konqueror).

    Check amaroK. It rocks.

    You might want to try Kaffeine. It doesn't fallback to MPlayer but since Xine reached 1.0 it has been perfectly useful. Embeds in Konqueror nicely, too.
