    The Pirate Bay - Now back online

    Those things aren't really an issue for people outside of the USA.

    Glad to have my Pandora.

    Because a PDF file is not something that specifically needs to be packaged for a Pandora. It just seems silly to me to use whats essentially an application repo to distribute singular media files. PDFs are one thing but what's next? Single MP3 PNDs? Text files? CBRs? Are all these going to need...

    Your thoughts on a custom PC build?

    Digital tv tuner cards are cheap enough that you can add one almost as an afterthought

    Glad to have my Pandora.

    Bad idea: flooding the Pandora repository with single-story PDFs packaged as PND applications. Good idea: writing a program that acts as a front-end to a store of copyright expired, public domain and user submitted stories that is both curated and user rated. Theres a few android and ios apps...

    AVGN Adventures on Sale

    I'm not sure it ever was funny. It's been 10 or 15 years since he started doing AVGN, I've definite ly outgrown the humor and you can tell James has outgrown the character. He's sort of stuck with it though because its what he became known for. The only AVGN episode I've found funny for years...

    The Pirate Bay - Now back online

    I find KAT to be much better than TPB anyway and its not like Usenet is going anywhere.

    New Data Showing No Difference Between 16 and 24 bits audio

    Yeah, while its evidence that people cannot tell the difference; it isn't proof. It needs to be repeated with a larger and more diverse sample and perhaps a tighter methodology.

    Desktop version of the Pyra?

    I can see how it would appeal to some people, if I had a Pyra and I had a need for a tiny Linux desktop it would be nice if it was the exact same hardware. But if I didnt have a Pyra handheld I cant think of any reason why I'd specifically want a "Pyra desktop edition" over more suitable...

    New Data Showing No Difference Between 16 and 24 bits audio

    The argument is essentially its better to have your audio data at 24bits even if you possibly cannot tell the difference and since youve got it in 24bit anyway why not listen to it that way?

    AVGN Adventures on Sale

    While his movie is indeed shitty, he's a decent guy and not obnoxious like a lot of 'internet personalities' and puts out a lot of quality content for free (especially Monster Madness). I don' think he's paying Askarus to shill a €1.50 game he didn't make.

    Aesthetic Criticism of the Pandora (split from What would you like to see thread)

    I got one with the Mega Pack. Glasses wiping cloth with a Pandora logo on it

    Aesthetic Criticism of the Pandora (split from What would you like to see thread)

    Am I supposed to believe that the blue rag was actually for wiping the screen and not for folding up to wedge in the gap in the hinge?

    Buy a Pandora or wait for the Pyra?

    The major productivity issue with the Pandora isnt the keyboard (its really good) or the hardware specs. It's the screen size, its just a fraction too small that most desktop linux applications dont fit. For me thats the one issue you cant adequately work around. You can skip frames for...

    Pyra dock connections.

    I don't think anyone is suggesting that they should choose 100 over 1GB if the drawbacks are negligible. Getting parts just really is that big of an issue when you're dealing with such low volumes, what can be a minor difference for the majority of end users can be a major supply and cost issue...

    Emulator brings x86 Linux apps to ARM devices

    http://www.entropay.commight let you load a prepaid Visa card (for a fee) from your normal credit/debit card. It'll have less fraud prevention measures or restrictions than your usual card.

    Pyra dock connections.

    Well you obviously have some bizarre ideas about the read/write speed of SD Cards, sarcasm or not.,

    Pyra dock connections.

    Actually the best possible solution is to consider the trade offs and benefits, rather than jumping to the extreme ends of every spectrum because you can imagine an edge-case scenario where something would be useful. It's pretty clear that the majority of people are going to want more than 8GB...

    Pyra dock connections.

    You'd be hard pressed to find any feature of any bit of hardware to be completely useless, that doesn't mean they should put every feature that might have a possible use you can speculate on. I'm not making an analogy to gigabit ethernet here but it would be really handy if for example if...

    If its not saving and you don't want to use the default directory why not symlink?
