Assuming this acts like other forums, it should block all posts by 'ignored' users. The results cna be quite comical. Let's say that Creature has blocked you. Creature will probably STILL end up reading much of what you say, because people will quote it in order to respond to it. You will, of...

Sadly, I don't remember it. I have been described - probably fairly accurately - as a very "stream-of-conciousness" kind of guy. I tend to live, as much as possible, in the hear-and-now with only limited references to the past and the future. So when I'm typing, that is the NOW - and the detail...

I'm not allowed desserts :( Actaully I'm not allowed stress. I'm supposed to avoid situations where I can get stressed out. Like, well, posts attacking me. It causes physical pain (imagine having barb wire mesh wrapped in a noose around your gut - then having someone pull the end so tha tthe...

You really do try to twist around every thing I say to prove the world I am a vindictive liar, don't you? Which is not pleasant. I didn't know how your battery meter was going to be better than both Intel-based battery meters and GPH battery tech, but I assumed from Craig's enthusiastic...

I haven't done. I've shown you were WRONG, not lying. If you WANT me to pick apart everything you say, let me know - there's plenty I haven't touched. I could be a damn site more cynical than I have been. Just give me the word - I'm up for it today, I have time on my hands if you'd like it...

I'm not 100% positive of the accuracy (have the UK actually received 1500 PCBs?) and there is ALWAYS someone who wants more (how many batteries do they have, how many failures have they had, how many TV Cables and so on) but I think that's a spiffing display of information right there. Clear...

Apparently ispgeeks.com is over 30 hops away from me, which may explain the abysmal 3204.3 Kbps rating I get from it. http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/ works better for my PC, although it uses flash. I think downloading from a site like Microsoft (or better still, a local network device)...

I think with that last line you have probably explained why reasonable/plausible/"accurate" (???do such things exist??) estiamtes have not been forthcoming from OpenPandora. They've had enough of cancellations. Now is not the time to be realistic enough to spark off another round of them...

I thought the battery meter was supposed to be better than that? some really good accurate meter that does more than just measrue the current drain - something better than GP/GPH or Intel use...?

It's EXCELLENT if the Pandora gets good Wifi reception, and I feel that doing it down by suggesting that "bigger devices will always be betetr than it" does the machine a disservice. My chronic "that's just not true" switch would have been flicked by ED's sweeping inaccuracy ANYWAY, but when...

ED made an absolute statement that was a sweeping generalisation: Basically saying "Bigger devices will have bigger antennas which will mean you get a stronger signal" in spite of his combined reportage with Craig having previously touted Pandora signal strength in "The Hall" as being...

Ah! I see you spent some time thinking about this. A teeny tiny bit of searching (to augment this mid-timer's poor old memory) brings up things like this, for example: from a thread called "Pandora Order As An Investment" and: They also seem quite up for putting Pandoras on eBay themselves...

I was reluctant to add my +1 too early, as I am not sure that a vote from me (especially alone) would be any sort of recommendation. But Mali has my vote :D Maybe we should start a poll? [runaway]

Dave who? Did I misremember notaz and DJWillis working on the OS as well? Hmmm - isn't that effectively "We thank everyone who made this possible - signed by Craig, MWeston, Fatih and EvilDragon" rather than listing them as "the people wot made it"?

Nah - if watching politics on telly has taught me nothing else, it's that all sides will be able to say "See? Told you so!" with equal vigour, regardless of any outcome.

Cool. It's a bit late for my son tonight, but I'm sure we'll enjoy this in the week :) many thanks!

Bah humbug.

Ah! the "So nerr" argument. Yes - I hadn't thought of a counter to that well thought-out position. But... doesn't "scalping" rather rely on not only "buying cheap" but also then turning around and "selling expensive" rather quickly, as in minutes if not seconds, OR when the amount of demand...

LOL thanks. I'd enjoy them more if there were fewer typos though ;)

In theory, so we are told, they would take a huge hit and pay us our money back. They have also said many other things (Two Months) which have proven to be... on the optimisitc side, rather than correct. There is risk involved in trusting that they would live up to their word, especially when...
