And i've tried Explaining that a CD key is a two part protection where the key & CD is verified. As for example, the Windows licensing number isn't a CD key, and, isn't referred to as such. Check the installer. I've had enough of this already. Your right, i get peace and quiet. B!

Right. Optic media with intentional artifacts are a later invention, and are used by copy protection software, as hardware key's to verify the disc. It has little, to nothing to do with the key. OK, I'll give you as much. On it's own a key isn't hardware dependent. The CD key in conjunction with...

Somewhere there has obviously been a misunderstanding. Lets try this again. Read the following: "There are a number of versions with the different Microsoft OS installs on them. Usually, but not always they have a different hash for different regions, and service pack, versions. Thats the whole...

I already hinted at this in a different thread. We are going to have to be rather lucky to have any commercial development studios look our way. In the "close future" (with current production rate, some rather distant time, measured in years) we could get a small development studio, like the...

Uh, funny. If any key worked, you didn't need a keygen. Keygens generate a key that match a hash. The hash is on the disc. Any key that matches the hash, works. Until a patch with a blacklist is added, but at that point you patch the blacklist, or ignore it altogether with a cracked exe. CD, and...

Funny you should mention Linux games, and games that doesn't really on hardware based copy protection... You do know the CD key is a hardware based protection, yes? Since the Pandora is somewhat limited in it's CD/DVD capabilities, and SD memories aren't really designed to be uniquely...

Since they intend to make money on the product, i doubt they want to release it on a platform where there are no working copy protection, but i might be wrong... Doubt it tho. B!

Don't know what you expect, but the whole point is to keep a uniform system just like consoles, so you can run highly optimized code, and get the best performance, and battery life. So, indeed, the same rules does apply. I was rather hinting at the hardware updates being fairly minor. Apple...

For the same reason as i voted no last time, I'd say "so what" this time. It's not like we would be given access to the program library anyway. The Pandora is made to be open. You can move anything you want, of and on the system entirely at will. Copy protection where? To get licensed for the...

"The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie? - The same procedure as every year, James!” Apple isn't really reinventing anything. They are switching over to the current generation CPU, and updating a bit here and there. To do that with the Panda would be easy, and unfair. I mean, com on...

Not having one, it Might be that i was tricked by the manual, but it clearly states that you should not format the unit from a PC, but rather use the integrated tools for that. From experience with Sony's devices i know that may mean that the drive actually boots of a set of files on the flash...

As per stupid design, you've probably deleted the OS of the stick. You'll need to contact Sony for a better answer, but thats about it.If the stick is at all recognized when hooked to a computer it should be reversible. B!

As i said. Nobody will start developing a second generation Panda for quite some time.At that time, the current generation ARM CPU's will be old, and outdated. Nothing says it's even going to use a ARM CPU even. At that point in time that might be a less interesting option compared to other low...

None other then the "keep it stupid simple" as indicated above. B!

No, as i said, Don't hook it as both host, and device on the same hub. You want to hook it as both, use 2 hubs. Or better yet, just use a USB charger... Yes i know your trying to get away with just hooking one device up, but think about it. If it's one device or two, it's still 2 wires. It takes...

Why not just skip connecting the panda as a host on the hub? That way it would charge, and no issues would be lurking around a corner. B!

Apple sells enough phones to not make a small alienated group of buyers when they swap architecture. I mean, here we have a small dedicated group of people working to bring a few thousand units to the market. Compare numbers? Nope. Don't think so. It's going to be another 10 batches until anyone...

Not to mention that swapping hardware for something with different performance, and capabilities, would make it a "different" unit altogether, alienating first batch buyers. Forget it, it's not going to be any big changes for a few batches. Stuff that might happen is replacing circuitry with...

The guy who said "forget everything you think you know about MHz, and emulation, really meant it. I'm not going to get it to great detail, but it's like this. The Amiga has a 14MHz CPU, and a few co'processors. Nothing in there is really fast. It adds up to less then 100Mhz in total. But thats...
