    How Are All The Linux Newbies Coping?

    If I had a netbook or a secondary laptop I didn't care about using right away, I'd commit myself to going through the motions of putting Arch on it. As long as I'd have at least two other computers with set-it-and-forget-it operating systems (and internet connections) I'd be willing to...

    How Are All The Linux Newbies Coping?

    How I was introduced to Linux: http://nostarch.com/ubuntu4.htm Good for familiarizing yourself with modern Linux, though Ubuntu is slightly different from the Pandora's OS. I find it really helps to have the "projects" laid out instead of just poking around aimlessly. Eased me into it nicely...

    We Will Have An Answer To Youtube On Pandora -- Webm.

    VP8 doesn't have to be better, or even as good, as h.264. Not today, not tomorrow. I'm just satisfied that it's apparently better than Theora (the only other Free alternative). This really ups the baseline of open video to more modern levels, possibly beyond what Theora is even theoretically...

    I'm pretty sure they know how effing magnets work, though.

    The Humble Indie Bundle

    I like that the Linux side makes up about 1/4 of the total dollar amount, even more than OS X users. Considering that Linux is often put around %1 of the OS marketshare, that's really saying something. :) Looks like the average contribution has also gone up almost a dollar since the start of...

    The Humble Indie Bundle

    Well I didn't want to make a thread in here since I knew none of this (currently) run on the Pandora's hardware, but I'm totally geeked out over this sale! I love the Name-Your-Price system, I love the lack of DRM, and I love supporting two worthy organizations AND independent developers AND...

    Irrmaple

    I'm here to lend my moral support! because I love the MapleStory concept, just kinda hated the grind... Just to be on the safe side, though, you might want to think of some alternative names for the project. I have no idea how possessive Wizet is about their trademarks, but it's possible they...

    Will Java Run (Well) On A Pandora?

    I think they're using Midori as default, it's GTK+.

    Ubuntu On Pandora

    At the same time I'm glad it ships with a bloated desktop environment (okay, so Xfce isn't that bloated...). Gives me something more familiar to work with!

    Since you brought up the stock clocks and software decoding, does overclocking help with the HD video as a work-around? Could someone push it up to 650-700MHz and expect it to put out smooth 720p through the TV-Out? I know there's probably a lot of people who'd like to see some Infinity engine...

    Use Open Source? You're A Pirate!

    These same companies? Really? Yes, it's stupid and hypocritical for an industry group that makes its living by defending intellectual property rights to balk at FOSS (especially when it's used as a remedy for piracy), but let's not get carried away here.

    Meego On Pandora?

    But I don't want those fungoid-crustaceans to carry my brain around in a metal jar!

    The Last Appstore Thread

    I've become terribly allergic to anything with the word "App" prefixed to it. It's a virus of the mind.
