Zoom! Enhance! Extrapolate!

That's what I said (basically) on Twitter. I don't think Craigix reads his Twitter replies though. :P

I use "cdparanoia -Bx" and then tag the files using Picard which talks to the excellent MusicBrainz database. Lastly, I compress the .wav files down into 40-70% their previous size using flac, and throw in some album+track replay gain analysis: "flac --replay-gain --best *.wav" It's a bit of...

Edit: Whatever happened to auto-merging? I did it by hand.

We (a fellow at #gentoo-embedded and I) recently compiled Chromium for the ARM. It runs like clockwork. The speed is good. It's not jaw-dropping, but it's more than usable. :) Yes. The Neuvoo project has been operating under this theory for a while now. We have access to nearly the entire...

But that's just it: does anyone know when the Pandora's shipping?

Something for Pandora developers to consider: http://www.plugcompu.../Enabling_UBIFS Quoting the page: Why UBIFS instead of JFFS2? Because it's fast! Also, in theory, the UBI layer should be even smarter than JFFS2 about wear-levelling. But mainly because it's really fast. For reference: #...

Am I the only one who lives in a family and doesn't want to hide in a corner to use his Pandora?

I'd be interested to know who qualifies as a developer, how many developer slots they've got, and how much they want Gentoo on the Pandora.

Took you long enough to make this thread. It's not like the good ol' days around here, is it? ;)

This discussion reminds me why I tell people "never, ever use the hibernate button in Linux." Ubuntu (and their unlimited amount of resources) launched a concerted effort to make hibernation work better in Linux, but I think it's going to be like video drivers: we'll be forever catching up until...

Whoa. So, we can code in bash/python what happens when the lid closes and stuff like that? That'd be brilliantly useful.

I have a copy running in VirtualMachine myself (it's really easy - just install Ubuntu first and follow the build instructions from there to install to a second virtual hard-drive) and yea, it's basically this: turn on, black screen for a mere three seconds or so before the login screen is...

http://java.freenode.net/ is the best solution. FreeNode has the most active channel (#openpandora) and they already have a solution in place. :)

That's a regular ol' Call-In number. The 1747 number I mentioned in my post is actually the SIP number assigned to my Gizmo account. Everyone gets one of these numbers when they sign up for Gizmo. This generalization is incorrect: Gizmo costs the same as Skype. However, they provide a SIP number...

Yes, a bluetooth headset for sure. I have two well-rated headsets (link (advantage: very discreet w/ mono, stereo otherwise; like this best) and link (advantages: stereo, use own higher-quality headphones)) in my Amazon wish-list, and will likely pick one and order it when my Pandora ships...

So, lately I've been griping a lot about how expensive cell-phones are. Really quite a pain. The Pandora, and all its fanciness, made me consider my various options. This is a summary of the last two or three months of research. The only phones that'll work on the Pandora are the VoIP phones...

./configure --prefix is what you want. You're going to want to use two separate "prefixes", then: one for your toolchain and one for your installation. (The only issue with that, is it isn't exactly portable. This is where statically vs. dynamically compiled libraries come in.) The guide is...

Bah! I could care less about looks! When I see something shiny, I always skip the shine and look at the operating system and its capabilities. The Pandora delivers big in hardware and software (potential), and being the ugly duckling in the handheld world is certainly not going to change that...
