Every time I saw something about that new Panasonic handheld this song would be stuck in my head for the next half hour.

I was expecting a little more markup on the spare part prices. These are pretty reasonable. What should we expect for turnaround time? For instance, if I order a LCD cable today, when would it likely end up in my mailbox (or if USPS is delivering, crushed between door and screen door)...

Hey, were suppose to be keeping that a secret.

The only reason anyone would need to preorder a Pandora is that they see a cool gadget and they want it, they don't really have to care about the project itself. Once their preorder is in, OPT owes them a Pandora. OPT doesn't owe an investor anything beyond their small share of the profits (if...

Before my Pandora died I had started working on a frontend, although I was intending on making it launch other file types besides just roms (audio, video, pictures, text, apps, that sort of thing). I can't say for certain whether or not anything would come of it, though. I don't always finish...

In this specific case, there's at least a definite minimum number that need to shipped before this project can be considered a success. At the end of batch 2 preordering it will be 8000. If the Pandora goes out of production before that number is reached, then yeah, it's a failure.

How big of GIFs are we talking? It seems like any big enough to considered an "excellent alternative" to embedded video (if you're not into talkies), would be huge, and I could see memory issues. But for basic "guy tries to cover a giant spider on the ceiling with a bowl and it falls on his...

Don't you sleep?

That's not really bad news. Not great, but I was expecting a lot worse.

Well, the workday should be about over in Texas (at least for those in the office), and judging from lack of updates, I guessing there's no news, or good news from the board manufacture.

Pandora is sort of the Greek Mythology version of Eve. She was the first woman, and was a gift from God to Man. And like Eve, she ended up being the cause a lot of problems. The difference is that Pandora was specifically intended to be a punishment. She was given all these gifts to trick...

In that case, I think what everyone was trying to say is that you'll have your Pandora tomorrow.

There's a town here in Michigan named Hell. Since it's in Michigan, it freezes over regularly.

I think after a while the fact that it's repeated so much becomes the joke.

That doesn't sound good. For an outsider looking in, it does seem like the nub company is doing a decent job. I mean, yeah, they screwed up pretty bad, but it happens. But they seem to be taking responsibility for it. All this testing and prototyping can't be cheap, and when they got to...

That's what I did. $14 flat rate from the US to Germany, 6 to 10 business days. It took 18.

I mean I write programs in G-code, and set up the machines to run them. Then, when it's running I check parts and generally keep it running properly.

Couldn't you just put them both in joystick mode? I occasionally used them for gaming, be even if I didn't, I wouldn't want a unit that didn't have them. Dealing with tiny links and icons with big fingers on a resistive touchscreen is about impossible. Holding the stylus while holding the...

Why would you have "nub-related trouble" if you don't use the nubs?

Oh wow. About a year ago I bought an Xbox off eBay, and it just sort of disappeared in the mail. To this day, any package I get, regardless of size, shape or point or origin, I hear, "Hey, I bet it's that Xbox you ordered."
