I hope everyone subscribing to that list will resist the urge (the very strong urge, I find...) to post to it. As a group we are not very disciplined about staying on topic here on the forums, and the last thing that list needs is noise from us mostly ignorant blighters. Perhaps safer to follow...

Would that that were true. :( Solving this problem systematically requires 1) skill/knowledge, 2) hardware/equipment, 3) information, and 4) time. Sadly, it seems that no one has a full set of these. Those with the first three seem to lack the fourth (and vice versa). I'm hoping that the...

It was a very tiny little saga: Tony Lindgren found that he could persuade his 4 GB prototype to run two instances of memtester addressing a total of more than 2 GB (I don't think he said for how long, but there were thermal issues I think), provided he set the voltage to 1.50 V instead of 1.35...

Point of information: The Pyra RAM chips (in the 4 GB units at least) are low power; DDR3L rather than DDR3; 1.35 V rather than 1.5 V. Or does this not count as LPDDR? The actual chips being used (according to [1] (which was posted just after the recent temporary confusion about the chips was...

Which frees up their time and attention for the necessary incessant counting of parentheses. :P

Interesting graph @tarator. Does it suggest that real programmers read the manual and don't frequent fashionable sites where the signal-to-noise ratio can be so poor? :P The flat C++ curve possibly suggests that. And look at that periodicity! Especially with Java. Does this suggest that the...

Oh, no! Grench already (re-)did 1092! Sorry for the duplicate. (I'm finding the forum pages are quite laggy at the moment.) @Grench: What is that? A flange for the drain pipe the order numbers just went down?

The numbers seem to be under way again. Here's hoping for a sudden resolution of the 4 GB connundrum, and smooth sailing ahead.

Right, but it turned out to be a false alarm. They did have the memory chip they intended to have, there was just a momentary confusion. It is inevitable really, when double checking everything to nail down a problem, that occasionally you make a mistake and think you found a dicrepancy when in...

(Depends how fine you cut the radiating fins.) I had hoped that what I wrote wouldn't be mistaken for a serious comment; serves me right indulging my whimsical side -- that always seems to annoy people and/or elicit overly literal interpretations! Hmm... these are not elemental magnesium but...

What on Earth?! (Perhaps an essential appliance for munchers of midnight snacks?)

The idea of a magnesium heat sink made me smile. :) This would provide us with the spectacle of a Pyra in flames! Nicely thematic, but Pyras are rather pricey for a one-time entertainment use, however spectacular the effect. :P Your reading of that list is more optimistic than mine! It seems...

Well, I was going for 1097 of course. However, I see we've slid back to 1094. I tried to find one of Grench's strippers, or perhaps a slide, but ended up just hoping we'll be back on track soon (maybe when they finally get the 4 GB problem sorted):

Ah, yes, that is perfectly clear now. :) Thank you, yes it does. Fascinating! In over five years of using GNU/Linux exclusively, I've never noticed this! I work mostly in Emacs or in a terminal, and rarely use the mouse even when I'm using GUI-based programs, but that's really no excuse for...

Hmm... now I'm somewhat confuzzled. One question for disambiguation, and one question for further details: 1. Does "leftmouse click, double click or click and drag" mean a) "leftmouse click, leftmouse double click, or leftmouse click and drag" , or b) "leftmouse click, normal [rightmouse]...

Indeed. I find a lot of themes seem to be a triumph of aethetics over function or a triumph of hedonism over common sense or something. People seem to want something that looks flashy rather than something that can be used. I'm not sure why. Maybe they only look at their computers rather than...

Thanks for the report @sebt3. It's always interesting to get news of the work behind the scenes that's bringing the Pyra closer to fruition. :) Noting that you've been working on the keyboard mappings, I was wondering if you could answer some of the questions I have about that. Some of these...
