Well, afaik you will always have access to the Google store, but you won't have access to commercial applications unless you can prove to Google that your setup has some kind of DRM capabilities. That's what would make most sense to me anyways. But I'm not sure, because I can't find the Google...

Oh, OK, I underestimated your needs. It seems that you require pygame explicitly, and wouldn't want to adapt your renderer to use native drawing APIs (which are very similar to the pygame ones). Yes I realize that pygame provides a lot of convenience and you probably want to stick to that for...

@Exophase, Esn, maybe you're right; this community has quite a lot of luggage to carry around with it in form of work that's already been done. But what do you think would be required as a "bridge" for "native oriented" devs to be able to do what they do best on an Android platform? SDL is...

Interesting point: Android is booming in China, so we'll see the platform growing incredibly quickly in the near future. It's said that it will overtake Symbian in the Asia market some time in 2011 I believe, thus becoming the dominant mobile platform in the world. So there certainly won't be a...

The problem with having an "Android emulation layer" is that it won't be an emulation layer, because Android was meant to be used as a complete OS. Android isn't like SDL; you don't choose to use it because it's got some cool features and fast blitting, no, Android is like a meta-operating...

Android on the Pandora? Yes, epic win. Reasons why Pandora should focus on an Android distro: Android *DOES* support native code (Good for emulators and the like). You need to write some Java because the user interface needs to be in Java, though, and you're better off writing as much as you...

I am of the impression that the system is completely deterministic, the only difference between the two outlined aspects being that you in one case have a deterministic function λa.ca where you make an abstraction over the behavior of something dependent on the world state, and in the other case...

Well, we have to base our reasoning on *something*, and determinism is almost like an axiom for most sciences. It's a cornerstone to logic and reasoning in general. If you say that determinism is irrelevant, you can't use things that are based on determinism such as stochastic, probability...

Yeah, listen to trix; and here's my reasoning behind why I don't think there's a free will: According to Determinism, everything that happens is a result of previous accumulated events as you all should know by now. This means that for there to be a free will, the human brain has to contain...

...or just do 'gksudo -m "We wanna do this and that as root, cancel now or live with it."' ...or 'gksudo -D "Installing drivers"'

Wow, I should visit off topic more often; seems like I've been missing out... Anyways, typing on my phone so I'll be brief (yeah, right) Infinity: I think that the universe is perceivably infinite, but that it in "reality" is finite. Think of it like this: imagine that you were a flatlander (if...

Well the thing most Linux newcomers don't realize is that Linux is a very GUI-enabled OS. You can do everything you want to do using the GUI most of the time, and the Pandora is no exception. And the kind of things you can't do with a Linux GUI are the kinds of things you can't do with a Windows...

Well, I'll probably repeat myself now, but I'll still say this: An explosion is uniform; it "explodes" at the same speed everywhere. It's like blowing into a balloon: it'll grow at the same speed all of the time if you breathe evenly. What you're talking about is the scaling effect; if you draw...

Well, first of all, there is no center of the universe. Why? Because it is very very likely (As likely as the "theory" of gravity) that we are on the "surface of a sphere" aka. the universe started out as a point and grew as a 4D sphere, and all of the stars and galaxies are on the 3D surface of...

Well this is a very valid theory, but it depends on what you define as "location." Because, you say that the "Big Bang" is the inside of the universe, but it's always been the outside. Either that, or you might say that Big Bang *is* the universe but again, this is just a definition thing. So...

You want me to say dark matter but I won't. Einstein was wrong when he tried to support the static universe model by introducing the positive constant in his theory of relativity (basically introducing dark matter for the first time) as the solution for holding the stasis (See Static universe)...

Yes. Particles move faster than light speed quite often, in fact. There are different speeds of light as you might know; the one we know as c is the one that applies for vacuum but like with the speed of sound, there are different ones for different materials, e.g. water has a much lower speed...

Well, when I want to argue about time, I have to have some model to work with because I can't imagine 6 dimensions at once. mali, you're trying to argue with these 6 dimensions and without a model, which might be why I don't understand the problem you're presenting. So, let's set up a model...

Try 'sudo opkg update' first.

Just so I don't forget (I have ran out of Post-Its), here's a vectorized version of the logo, with the colors adjusted to the new palette (see IRC discussion) along with a render of the SVG: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z4ydmlyjmwz (sorry quartercast, I redid the logo from scratch...
