is that for 1st and maybe 2nd batch or forever?

I don't have access to a wifi network, so of course I voted the updates will do :)

For simple games, I second python + pygame: it's probably as simple as it can get; for "desktop" games (e.g. minesweeper-like) an alternative may be using pygtk or pyqt. If you are serious about writing games, however, you will have to learn C/C++ sooner or later; python has good C...

This is really nice: for pixel art games integer scaling is the way to go, ideally with the ability to keep it in windowed mode for people who are using the "desktop" WM/environment and the following full screen modes (in order of preference) 1) a good subtle bezel like the one above 2) black...

I've looked Kunstler on the dictionary and considering also the photo the second translation is interesting :D From German-English Freedict dictionary [deu-eng]: Künstler [kɵnstlr]nsm artist, longhair

swap on USB hd? yes, it is going to be slow, but that's the point, isn't it?

Usually there will be no swap on pandora: it is better not to put it on the nand and on sd it would be so slow as to be painful; I don't even want to think how an encrypted swap would be. Even if you have to use it (on SD) sometimes, e.g. for big compiles, if you need to keep personal...

in theory it is a bad idea, in practice I've used ext3 on a few CFs and SDs for a while (many months) with many reformats, and I've yet to see a problem. I wonder how ext4 will do.

not everybody who emulates keeps a complete collection of every game for the platform; many just keep on playing their old favorites, and they own the original games. And with dos games and consoles that used CDs instead of cartriges, there is no real need to download roms, either, since the...

you could, but you would need to add some hardware inbetween to bring the signal to line level

whatever it is, I don't think that OP actually had it: the original payments were blocked by the bank (now, I wonder who kept _those_ interests), and then I seem to remember that they mentioned paying various components as soon as they had their payments back (they didn't have the cash for mass...

They don't need to delay deliverment of already ordered and paid pandora for that; conversely, it may be good for them to be ready to accept preorders for batch 2 in the autumn, and that means having at least started shipping batch 1. Of course, if production times allow for it.

small panels that aren't left in the sun all day long are probably going to hurt the environment (for their production and disposement at their life end) more than they helped saving it with the energy produced. I admit that they are convenient, expecially if you spend quite some time outside...

j2me is a modular standard, phones can include just certain subsets of it if their hardware isn't able to support everything. Additionally, certain phone makers include proprietary libreries to support advanced features that aren't still supported by standard j2me. There is a free j2me...

Among the patent-encumbered codecs there are mp3 and most of the commonly used video ones: between preinstalling a media player that supports only free codecs and doesn't play anything most people already has, and not preinstalling anything, I'm afraid that pandora's choice is the one that would...

I'm not so sure whether it will be confortable, but I can confirm that a version from a few months ago is already in OE and works on the beagleboard. I've also seen it load on an openmoko phone, but that was just for a quick test, and I didn't try to use it.

The device conf file is already available in OE as omap3-pandora.conf and the distro used is just angstrom, what's still (AFAIK) missing is the image bb that specifies what is included in the standard installation. Also, I don't think that 3d acceleration is currently available in OE, and I'm...

In all of the keyboards I've used ¨ is made from either : or "; one of those could be made in a dead key. (of course, I also hate dead keys, and I'm probably going to use a compose based keymap)
