I saw this as an as at the top of the page. My thoughts:
1) Real programmers do not need a calculater when working with hexadecimal values. It has been ages since I had to calculate a longer address or similar by hand, even if I still do machine language or assembly programming frequently.
2) This is the wrong place for this ad. Many of the younger ones here would see a doctor when they hear the word hexadecimal. Or at least say 'Gesundheit'.
3) HexZombie? What kind of a name is that? Was the 'your mother' kind of insult not good enough anymore?

I just saw it too. You forgot to mention the introductory price of $144... I could buy a nice SSD at that price.

$144 to which base? Oct, Dec, Hex?

My arithmetic's got progressively worse, over the years. Too many tools.
On the plus side, I can do duodecimal without having to take my socks off.

Even calc.exe supports hexadecimal these days, not that I need it.. anything it can do, I can do in my head.
And I use this[^] (shameless plug) for anything complicated.
To the person who submitted solve x^2 + 2*x = 0
Look at the syntax reference. As in all serious programming languages (not to say that this is one, but this way you can just copy&paste your stuff directly), ^ is xor, and has a low precedence. Your query was parsed as solve x^(2 + 2*x) = 0.
Filling in -2 for x gives, in order:
2*-2 = -4,
2+-4 = -2,
-2^-2 = 0.

I was having issues with Access Violation Exceptions while using Mono.Posix. It turns out that I built the MonoPosixHelper native library with MSVC 11, and Mono.Posix itself loaded the MSVC 6 runtime.
This took me a couple of days to figure out as:
1) I am not a native developer.
2) The internet was not helpful (things about corrupted Windows installs)
3) Windows gives no helpful error message
Figures.

1) Real native developers are slowly becoming something like the Yeti or Nessie. Everybody has heard about them, but nobody knows or ever has seen one.
2) The internet is never helpful unless you stick to the pasteurized 'best practices' as all the other drones do.
3) So what else is new?

Yeah. At least it works now.
I have seen some error messages that make the ones from Windows look useful.
I especially like '!+?=‽' as an error message. I have seen that one more that once.

As far as I know I have still never heard a song from neither Justin Beaver nor Wand Erection, and until recently I didn't even know there was such a thing as Ke$ha.
But some idiocies trickle down even to me.
So I'm suggesting a mandatory neutering of all country and western singers with a mullet.
Rant over.

It's a conscious choice, I never listen to radio stations that play that kind of music. And if I know about it I can avoid it.
But if I don't know I can get that nasty surprise. Rick Astley, Rebecka Black and Miley Cyrus comes to mind

I agree with you about Rick Astley, but I haven't heard any of his songs in quite a while. You know, with my time machine being out of order and all.
