    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    I only asked if it did power management *now*. I said nothing about if it ever could. We were told a chip was suposed to handle that, which is hardware, not requiring the OS to do it. I got a bunch of responses that had nothing to do with the question. All responses about what it 'could' do...

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    I understand, but you seem to keep overlooking the question I ask (I tried to clarify). *Does it* Does it in practice actually do that, does the pandora do that. Does it presently do that? It is a question you can't answer, and you seem to not get what I am asking. Edit: So the answer is...

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    I think there is a chip that is supposed to do it via hardware, clock down the cpu cycles when not needed (it was posted), rather than software. But my question wasn't really for you (no offense), it was for the OP team. That is, does it clock down and save power when not in use... Not in...

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    Yes it should, but does it? I know it was posted that the hardware was supposed to do that... but many thing should be or are supposed to be. The question is, *does it*? (currently) Edit: just an fyi, I am not making a criticism, just asking a question.

    I Got It!

    Well, I am sure he got a UK style plug-cable not an NA one. It's good to know it is detachable as expected, but the second part of the question is if NA customers got an NA plug. Some pics show a plug adapter, but I haven't seen the actual cable that NA customers received.

    I Got It!

    So, for those who have the power-supply, you didn't get one where the wall-to-supply cable is detachable with a figure 8 plug? We were definitely told by Craig that that type was what was chosen. I can go find the posts, but I am 100% sure we were told the cable was a detachable type 8, and it...

    Is it Pocketable Then?

    Slightly of topic but a good point for those who haven't been told this: People who have things in their back pocket, also have back issues. All your upperbody weight is supported by your spine, and when you tilt your hips with something in your pocket, when you sit down, you cause spine...

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    I think I see the reason why (it actually kinda occured to me after I posted, but getting feedback is always a good thing). The problem is that an OS itself is involved with things, not separate/above from them. With virtualization, you have a layer above what is going on, governing...

    Can Someone Tell Me About Standby?

    Interestingly, programs like VM ware can 'pause' an OS and restore it at will, regardless of which OS/Drivers are in question. I mean, why is it not possible to 'stop' everything in it current state, pause it, etc. As long as nothing external to the OS changes, it should be able to be stopped...

    Question About When I Get My Pandora

    The way to look at it is: you didn't get their canceled 'order', you made a new order with a Pandora freed up from a canceled order. And new orders get in line after the previous ones. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.

    Stream My Game

    This has come up a few times before. I believe a forum member was even in contact with them. They expressed interest in expanding out to more mobile devices. FYI though... I tried it on my PC's. Even on my local network and just using MS Excel, it was as slow as a pig from one computer to...

    @craig (Can You Check Your Pm's And Let Me Know)

    How is that relevant in this topic?

    I The Red Baron

    He admitted more than once his parents buy him w/e he wants, I'd call that spoiled with a sense entitlement. As for trolling, I'd say half of his posts were just name calling, attacks on people, and/or speaking with authority on subjects he knew nothing about. I'd call that a person who simply...

    I The Red Baron

    I find that comment insulting to my phallus. I always assumed that anyone who found him funny were also the people who watched America's Funniest Home Videos, and laughed at people getting a football to the groin. There is funny trolling / snark, then there is just pure lowbrow attacks in...

    My Pandora Review

    Oh, I have no doubt of that either... if you look at my post, I wasn't denying that. My point was simple. It is way to early to gage overall percentage of defectives for 2 reasons: Such a small percentage of them are in the wild. They have been out there way to short of a time to make any...

    My Pandora Review

    To be fair, it's a little early to talk about percentages for defective units. Not just because the sample size is so small, but also because... 'defective on arrival' and 'defective during the warranty period' are two different things. I doubt that those 20 returns of the GP2X out of 200...

    Assembly Team: Work Slower, Please :)

    No offense intended, but of course MWeston was board level testing after the mod (I had no doubt of that). I meant that it was pretty obvious that actual WiFi connectivity should be tested after the mod. That, that wasn't something to be learned, but clearly a step that should be done without...

    First Boot -It's Asking For A Login And Password....?

    Nice of you to keep positive. I know some people would be screaming bloody-murder if this happened to them. It must be frustrating, but keep smiling. I envy you, I'd rather have one in hand that needs a re-flash, than be here waiting. ;)

    Where Are The Tv-Out Cables?!

    I wonder how much more it would cost them to order 10k, compared to how much it will cost them to have to pay for shipping the cables to the end users as a separate shipment. I also wonder what percentage of people ordered the cable. Maybe 25%? Less?
