SIP client + Gizmo + Google Voice allows me to call any Skype person *and* gives me free nationwide calling to mobile phones/land lines. Skype is big, but it's not as useful imho.

This, exactly. Most people will probably be using a GTK+ application, so it isn't as big of a con for XFCE unless you're aiming to avoid GTK. One of the applications I am working on will run in the toolbar on GNOME/XFCE, so it is awesome to know it will work on Pandora out of the box (and it...

A BeagleBoard at full load takes ~400 mAh. Assuming the LCD/SD/keyboard takes 100 mAh, and you leave wifi/audio/bluetooth off, you'd get *roughly* 8.5 hours of battery life. I suspect we will see 14 hours battery life, but only in rare situations (where CPU is at 5%, LCD brightness is all the...

From what I've been told, ffmpeg has been abandoned. It was used on the Xbox, but the PC version strictly uses their custom dvdplayer. This really isn't that big of a deal to me. The thing that annoys me is they completely ignore *so* many devices that would make absolutely perfect HTPCs. The...

Fair enough :) I guess I'm just overall disappointed with where the xbmc project headed. The last I checked they completely abandoned the Xbox and moved onto strictly PC, and they don't support *many* devices that would make absolutely great HTPCs (look at fit-PC2, WD TV, etc...).

Please indulge me as to what those features are. The only thing I can think of that mplayer doesn't do is it doesn't have the nice python scripting interface. Which isn't needed at all. Auto mounting smb/nfs? That's what fstab is for. I understand why it's nice, I used it for many years. But...

This is pretty ofn, and I doubt we'll ever see XBMC do something that mplayer can't do (except slow things down).

[23:36:12] <Gary13579> anyone here order with google checkout from the US? [23:36:29] <WolfSpider> maby [23:36:38] <WolfSpider> Why? [23:36:51] <Gary13579> I'm wondering if any bank fees applied [23:36:56] <Gary13579> other than standard currency exchange [23:37:08] <WolfSpider> sorry i dont now...

Your best bet is to contact the devs and try to get them interested. It shouldn't take too much work to get it ported, so who knows. http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?app=members&module=messaging&section=send&do=form&fromMemberID=17633 itt el jefe shits up another thread.

This is just El Jefe's immature attempt at humor, ignore him. Technically, "wiring" is a programming language. It's just a higher level language than say, C. Anything you could do with C on a computer (say, make a tic tac toe game), you could do with the Arduino. And the Arduino does look...

FAT is missing a lot of the features that I use often (ownership, misc flags, atime (although I suppose atime will be disabled for obvious reasons)). Not to mention being illegal, and a crappy proprietary format... I'll stick with ext2. If you absolutely *need* to use the card in another...

The WiFi chip in the Pandora is the same as the one in the HTC Dream, right? At least I remember reading it used the exact same driver from TI. The HTC Dream does support Ad Hoc, so the Pandora should as well.

Oh god, childhood flashbacks. Infocom was amazing. I've got a manual that came with an infocom bundle, had pretty much all of the Zork games... The manual had a hilarious application to sign up for some intergalactic war. I remember one of the first questions was "Are you blind?", it had a...

Well then. *claps*. For FireFox, it takes ~30 seconds to load and then gets 2-3 FPS in game, depending on game. And my system is far from slow (Q6600 @ 4GHz).

I can't believe I'm agreeing with *him*... but I am. Please don't taint your pandora with this garbage.

I would love to see how Midori's javascript engine compares to V8, though. Mind opening this page and watching your browser die ;) ? http://benfirshman.com/projects/jsnes/ Chromium = Chrome. There *are* versions of Chrome for linux/mac, via Chromium.

*thisthisthis* I never buy anything that's DRM'd, even movies. Since bypassing DRM is illegal via DMCA, it's much less of a pain (and cheaper) to just pirate it. I'm a criminal either way, just this way I'm a few hundred bucks richer.

Amarok is KDE, it hurts me every time I try to use it :(. Other than that, it is pretty nice.

I think he's talking about how for the US Sony series, X is okay and O is cancel, but in Jap games, O is okay and X is cancel. Technically, Japan is correct, since they made the bloody console, but idiots still want to argue and disagree about it. The only system it ever should have affected...

iTunes is shit, especially on Windows. It still amazes me why people use it.
