I vote against any transparent or translucent casing at all: I expect that it would be distracting in real life, while also, perhaps, attracting too much attention. In general, I am in favour of the darker colours shown, including black, dark red, the dark greys and that grainy one (assumingit...

Regarding sarcasm: the trick is to engineer one's posts to exploit the ambiguity, to be reasonable both when construed as sincere and when construed as sarcastic. I have a modest example here. Regarding Android: with the increasing realization that it is here to stay, I have searched around for...

Has there already been a render with #FF0000 for the case body and #000000 for everything else? I think the buttons should all be black, to match the keymat.

If all future devices (if any) are to be "DragonBox X", with "X" currently "Pyra", how about a dragon-related title? 'Twould be better for future-proofing. Possibilities: DragonBoxLive LiveDragons WatchingTheEvilDragon DragonWatch DragonBoxing (take that!) WyrmWatch WyrmBoxing Tweak to...

My point is that in many applications, PC games especially, one can reassign Page_Down to do pretty much anything. Whatever the application does with the X button will be application-defined anyway, so why not have it as a reassignment of Page_Down? This is quite common -- most users should...

I think this is partly a result of recent games -- or, at least, recent games with enough marketing ooomph that one might be expected to have heard of them -- being pretty uninspired for, perhaps, the last ten years -- I place the "decline" as starting around 2002; I am geeky enough that I have...

What is wrong with just ignoring the gaming buttons as gaming buttons, considering X and B only as Page_Down and End? It is a trait of applications on "real" computers that keys may be assigned (indeed, it may be argued that all such applications "should" allow key reassignment). I can quite...

On the Pandora, there is a software volume control in addition to the volume wheel. Would it be possible to use the volume wheel as a global control, completely hardware-based, for all channels, with software (pulseaudio?) controlling volume for multiple applications and directing the audio...

A cinema can torrent a file as well as anyone else so, given that most of the money is made from the food anyway (though, now, they would not need to pay for licences to the film companies), they will survive quite well if and only if demand holds. If demand does not hold, then, well, fuck'em...

Yes. The original point of sites like Kickstarter was that people could give money to projects for products that would not otherwise exist. I have backed several role-playing games on Kickstarter, because I wanted them to exist. I would still have done so if they were free. In fact, I would have...

If copyright is abolished, then everything previously considered "copyright infringement", including "piracy", is legal by default. Person writes a novel ---> company takes novel and makes a film without paying the novelist ---> consumers watch the film, (mostly -- somehow the first copy must...

I, on the other hand, AM against the idea of ownership. Firstly, if copyright was abolished, then we would not have all these problems. Secondly, we, the common not-producing-much-culture-of-note people, do not gain much of significance from the current arrangement any more: perhaps I am just...

So is every positive real number. :troll: Many positive integers are sums of two non-negative integer powers of two, too, including 3, 5 and 1028 and 257 (1028/4). That does not make them sensible.

Assuming that I am like the typical user (a risky assumption), judging from repo downloads is not very illuminating. When I first got my Pandora (months ago), I went through the repo, downloading many many PNDs and putting them on an SD card. The stuff that works, works and the stuff that does...

(Mostly) Middle English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCckcTHWqKw Not much "eth".

The font should be monospace, to reflect the hacker-culture.

I have 32 GiBs of RAM in my desktop. At the moment, 27 GiBs are in use, of which 25 or so GiBs are from Chromium, with a multitude of tabs open. Chromium is the reason I made sure to get 32 GiBs of RAM. It should be possible to write a multi-tabbed browser where one tab does not take up 40 MiBs...

I would use 3G to broadcast my presence to the world!

There are differences between central government control and local government control. If there are hundreds of local governments, then there is little chance of stagnation. Keep in mind, too, that a company, a firm, is essentially a planned economy within itself, with variations of central and...
