    Friendly Linux|Gnu

    So, you don't even read the EULA or compare prices? It's convenience above all? I've never seen any economical theory where this will lead to any desirable future. You probably don't care either.

    Appimage instead of pnd?

    And it doesn't work for large packages (at least it seems shells like to map the whole file into memory).

    Absurdism corner

    That. And to be honest, if I had been older back then I probably wouldn't have liked the first movie either.

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    I haven't followed the N64 emulation development closely, but I had the impression that the problem is still more one of compatibility than of raw power (though lots of raw power might in the end be needed for a compatible emulation).

    Absurdism corner

    What is the problem, exactly? To me it doesn't look any worse than the original.

    Cases, colors and emails

    It would only need an initial 100 to agree on one color at 25€ each which IMO is a reasonable price (molding is only part of the total cost) and seems doable (considering the aluminium case preorder).

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    'Piracy' is acceptable when the alternative is 'robbery', but actually it is infringement and that is the term that should be used IMO.

    Cases, colors and emails

    FWIW, I think that is a wall socket cover.

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    Yes. This already exists in some legislations and I'm not claiming it works wonders there, but it might be the basis for a creator's competitive edge. The major difference to copyright is that it cannot be sold, licensed, or whatever.

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    I agree (thouh the know how part extends to all forms of expression). I could imagine that an unalienable right to authorship allows the original author to profit in enough ways to be an acceptable substitute for copyright (where the original author often doesn't profit much).

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    The original author still has the edge in know how (not to be underestimated) and upgradeability even without any copyright protection (modifying a binary blob isn't exactly easy). I'm not saying that the world would definitively be a better place without copyright (e.g. share-alike clauses...

    Pyra Favorite Color

    IIUC what ED was saying in the case production threads then any finish is available, some entail additional costs.

    About Pyra's Debian i18n

    Thanks for the info, now various bits of info I picked up actually make sense. I agree that input of Zhuyin and Kana become much more usable when the symbols are printed on the keyboard (especiall because position will be at least partially non standard). ED can be hired to design and produce...

    Or even better: Use vi:-)

    ... we're still alive!

    Since the position of the wheel represents an absolute value it is possible. Whether software support already exists i can't remember, but ED was talking about this somewhere.

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    Yes, that would be bad. Probably a bit expensive for just GPS and sensors.

    Additional Questions & Suggestions to help generate more pre orders.

    It has scroll bars here (Pandora non-responsive theme, slightly old Firefox, JS disabled).

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    Yeah, but do you see a problem with selling 500 US units within a Year? Perhaps I'm also too optimistic.

    Media and Press - who should we contact?

    I agree that it could be made even clearer and it should be changed accordingly, but claiming to be overwhelmed by such a comparatively short text that doesn't even have to be clicked to be accessed, is shown both on the general Pyra page and on each individual model's page, has DOWNPAYMENT in...
