It would be best to focus on having ratings matter, not downloads. - for each item - get the number of ratings newer than x months - calculate the average number of ratings - for all items of number of ratings x or greater - list the best x

A quick note that I'll be writing a script to do this sort of thing. It should take no time at all, but I need to get organized so I can actually do development. (in fact, I paused this reply and wrote up the skeleton already)

I'd be pleased to remove GNU software from Linux, it's almost all unusable garbage. Good for programming, great for philosophy.. terrible for users. There is a long history of Linux handhelds, including Linux with a full keyboard like the Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000 / SL-C3100...

There's been previous discussion about an xbox live / etc -style panel, with chat and other features. I'm sure the idea will keep coming up as things mature.

There is the Panda Pack concept, which has one release so far: http://www.pandorawiki.org/PandaPacks I would also consider Yoshi's emulation pack to be something like that: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,5,404 -- I'm still trying to get my bearings, but I...

I'm fairly negative about this idea. I would strongly prefer raising money to improve the existing machine. - The UI in general - The kernel and underlying operating system software - Pandora-specific randomness. After that stuff, the emulators need to be properly ported to the...

Mine was delivered a month ago, and it was one with a slightly redesigned and improved case to help against cracking. Same old colour. zomg. I used to know some tricks for shipping. I vaguely recall something about using your own brokerage service and calling UPS ahead of time to have them...

This worked perfectly. Some tweaks need to be made to LXDE itself, but that's not the responsibility of this installer. I think it would be better if this package had the LXDE files within it, so I don't have to use my Pandora to download. Perhaps that would be annoying to maintain though...

I have the creation of a backup script on my todo list. Yes this sort of thing is necessary, but there's one big issue which irks me. I worry that SD can have data silently corrupt. I'm patiently waiting for a checksumming filesystem to get a stable release for Linux. So far there's the...

<3 I'll have to try this!

I have one other Linux box (Lubuntu) which does not exhibit this feature. My first boot experience with the Pandora was a little unusual. During the first boot setup process, the system rebooted because of an unseated battery. I was forced to repeat it and had to make a second user on my...

I have one of these: http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=191 Logging in, I'm astounded to see that on the main status panel, my Pandora shows up.. with my password as its machine name. While this is really "awesome", it's unexpected. hostname --fqd just gives...

I've been playing with mplayer more. mplayer /path/to/music/**/* Queues all files in all subdirectories under that tree. It starts playing them in-order. I should be able to build a shuffle script if I bother. It defaults to interactive control. Hotkeys listed in the man page...

The bootup screen does help the user, but doesn't help scripts. =) This worked for me: cat /etc/op-version I'm actually not sure why I wanted to know this, but it'll go in my pile of trivia.

This worked for me: cat /etc/op-version (not op_version)

I wonder if I'm the only one to discover the nearly-unlimited-lives trick before the surfing begins. =)

I thought the case cracking issues were solved. The silvering is probably a combination of colour and a protective more durable coating. Perhaps it is also a material change in the plastic but I doubt it. As for other colours -- such things won't happen for some time. I'm glad mine is...

Is there a straightforward way to learn what revision I'm using? For example: uname -a Linux SYSTEM_NAME 2.6.27.57-omap1 #1 DATE TIME armv71 GNU/Linux That may help, if kernel differences exist between revisions.. but I doubt that will always be true. Is there a better way? Some sort...

Everyday usage of Thunar 1.0.2 occasionally has it stop letting me browse into folders. I cannot double-click, I cannot use the right nub to click and I cannot press enter to get into a folder. This seems to be random. While using it, it just stops. Restarting the application it will...

There is all kinds of interesting battery advice and stories scattered all over the place. Not just the wiki but this and the gp32x forum too. This is probably going to be my first topic of research since my very first new user concerns were about the battery. Can I plug it in? With the...
