Are you sure your mock credit card went through? What about mock shipping delays? If it can't run mock emulators I totally expect a mock refund.

So, I'm curious, what's the flat shiny thingy in the lower right corner of the "disassembled" images?

"Designed" is not the same as "designed, and tested, and all the details finalized, so we know we're never going to make the slightest change, and thus we can confidently order the mass production of thousands of the things." If you find there's something you want to change after you reach that...

It does seem weird and annoying. But I suspect the USB OTG port was more important to them (Texas Instruments, maker of the OMAP) than the USB host port. Because the OMAP is meant not for desktop PCs but for various small things like smart phones and handheld media players, which is what USB...

A problem: Some people might be serious fans of Pandora, but seriously not fans of boards like this one. Those people won't visit. And some people might only visit the boards when they have free time -- if they're busy at work or school that week, they won't notice. Anyway, I think there's a...

You know, I kind of doubt this will cause a delay. For one thing, it sounds like this decision is based on a discussion we had a while back, which wasn't "GUI vs getting it on time" but "spending the available time on the GUI vs spending the available time on applications eg emulators". For...

I believe so. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_OTG#Plug -- "OTG adds a fifth pin to the USB micro connector, called the ID-pin". Apparently it's there so the devices can tell which end of the cable they're on.

It should be doable. I notice that there is a Debian package for ARM. I don't know if that'll work as is on Pandora, but it's a promising sign. My impression, from trying to compile bsdgames on one of my systems, is that it's not the easiest thing in the world to compile.

Huh. Sauerbraten has "DMSP mode" in which you play on a multiplayer-intended level, against computer-generated monsters. I find it entertaining, it's what I usually play. Although the monsters are kind of dumb. I usually run to a high point overlooking a low point, wait until a crowd of...

Sauerbraten would be really awesome. There've been different opinions as to how well Pandora could run it. If it could... that would be getting into "killer app" territory. As in, I've seriously considered spending well more than the price of Pandora to upgrade my (four year old) PC to give...

Sphinxter, please put this in perspective. Morgushong calmly, rationally, even politely explained a point of view that you didn't like. Your only reply? "Fuck you." Prodded into elaborating, where do you go next? You speculate that there must be wrong with somebody who holds such opinion...

Nope. Here's the story: There are several different systems used by cell phones. Typically a given phone uses one and only one of those systems (I believe there have been some phones that support more than one, though), and likewise a given provider's network. One of those systems is GSM...

And do you have any information on what a USB OTG port looks like? I spent some time yesterday trying to find out and got nowhere. I think the connector is called "mini-AB", and suspect it looks like the little connector with a vaguely trapezoidal shape that's found on some small USB devices...

Um, how would getting your name and address off your Pandora enable somebody to do all that? Compared with: Scenario (a) -- They look in the phone book. "Here's somebody. Their name and address is right here. Let's do bad things to them." And they've got thousands of people they can do...

I sometimes do that. It beats trying to remember if something was .com or .net or .org, and if I get it wrong winding up in some other site perhaps designed to catch people looking for the other site. ("No one wants to look at my site. I know! I'll register a name similar to something...

I don't recall old desktops being all that well connected, either. The Mac that I took to college in '93 had a floppy drive and a couple of serial ports. Oh, and it had SCSI so you could connect an external hard drive. Or an external CD-ROM drive. Not that I had one of those. A year or two...
