I cannot fathom why anyone would want one of these.

Nice work.

I wasn't answering your question directly but what you said got me thinking about answering calls on a Pyra blind via the shoulder buttons and how to deal with the issue of unwanted/telemarketing calls without having to remove the device from your pocket, open it and look at the screen. What I...

The ability to set custom ringtones for known numbers gives you the luxury of only answering calls from whoever you want without having to actually look at the number.

The headphone socket will support both standards (via a chip) of mobile phone handsfree kits. So you can use headphones with an inline microphone or a headset. You don't have to hold the pyra near your face unless you really want to. What would be useful for people planning on using it as an...

You have to spring-load them or something because if its tight enough to perfectly align the ports it'd scratch or abrade the Pyra's edges

There's not really going to be any user transparent fix that doesnt make some assumptions about a users setup. Hardcoding the temp dir will assume its an ext filesystem and using a custom environment variable still requires the user to set it to somewhere appropriate. Having the PND set the...

The main point of the 'phone' version isnt to actually use your Pyra as a phone its for accessing the internet via your cellular network. I'm doing it right now but I'm tethered to my phone via wifi on my Pandora. Some data plans and providers don't actually let you tether though thats why...

SpecialSystemDirectory.cpp is where the code is

TMPDIR usually, but sometimes TMP, TEMPDIR or TEMP. EDIT: Firefox checks for TMPDIR, TMP and TEMP.

Well, firefox uses enviroment variables to decide where to store temporary files so I assume Pale Moon does the same. I believe launching Pale Moon with a shell script that sets the variable beforehand is the easiest fix.

Maybe there's an option or toggle in about:config

Cass from Fallout New Vegas was pretty much a lecherous drunk.

It'd be more perverted if you made your animals run around in a dress

Yeah, that seems like a nice and foolproof way of making sure everything gets inserted evenly.

Docks are usually top loading though...or at least I cant think of many that arent

It'd be cool if you could slide the Pyra in the front like a VHS cassette, rather than slot it in the top like a toaster

Are you people seriously suggesting a dock for the dock, now?

You've completely misunderstood my post. I said, quite clearly, that faster than light travel is science fiction but not specifically steampunk. Therefore "a steampunk story with science fiction elements" may be "a steampunk story in a universe where faster than light travel is possible" as an...

Faster than light travel is science fiction. So you could have that as an element in a steampunk setting where its possible yet has nothing to do with retrofuturism or steampunk technology as steampunk does not necessarily mean things that are scientifically impossible as we currently understand.
