OR... you could buy a bunch of extra Pandora batteries for... about $20 each? ;)

Haha!... I was actually tempted to order 10, but I decided to leave them for other people that wanted them.

I'm on the island. I ordered sometime early last year. :D

Most browsers have a fullscreen mode that can be activated by pressing F11. I just checked, and on this computer, it only uses 4 pixels at the top of the screen.

I thought the Pandora consumed closer to 1 watt? Not 3.6?

Couldn't you whip up a native client that uses webkit for rendering? dflemstr said CPU usage was quite acceptable for his webkit launcher thing.

Your delay should be when firing - not when detecting the input. Mouse1 pressed -> RequestShoot Gameloop -> ShootCooldownOkay && RequestShoot -> Shoot That way if someone clicks, it fires once at the next possible opportunity, even if they couldn't fire at that moment. It's fairly easy to...

The 6200 has very weak shader capabilities. GeForce 7's were vastly faster at that sort of stuff, and then GeForce 8's were 20x faster again. Yes, you read that correctly. A friend and I ran some benchmarks in L4D and TF2. By turning off those shader effects (TF2, bloom, noise, etc.) in TF2...

You sure you aren't thinking of WinCE 5.0? I love Exophase's posts. I understand 80-90% of them, and look up the rest. Almost every single one leaves me more knowledgeable. calc84maniac: Very insightful post, a few pages back!

Shenanigans! GDDR3 was meant to be pushed to 2.7ghz and beyond! ;) Not really, no. It's all tradeoffs, I gather. AVR Microcontrollers do a lot of stuff in 1 clock cycle, but can't scale beyond ~50mhz. If you wanted one to run at 100mhz, you'd have to redesign the internals so some things...

List of cheap cards for Canadians: http://www.shopbot.c...rder=lh&p1=&p2= Bring adblock. ;) I'm a fan of A-Data 16GB cards. They seem to be quite reliable and fast. Looking at the newegg reviews, a few people got duds, but most 1-ratings are people doing stupid stuff with them like using them...

I thought it basically had bounds-checking support, and that was it? Should be good for a whopping 2-5% performance boost, but nobody has actually figured out how to tap into the hardware? ;)

Anyone that chose UPS shipping to Canada will get nailed about $60. I went with the cheaper mail shipping. I'll just pray that I luck out and don't have to pay anything.

I have no idea how it works. Something to do with tax refunds. His went way way up. But he pays a pretty smart accountant, so who knows what they did. That was his explanation.

Yeah. A friend did of mine did that - spent $500 on a laptop that dropped him a bracket, decreasing his taxes by $2800.

It's only natural for your eyes to bulge out at such a discrepancy. It's nice that it's not as large, though. It's a bit silly, but they got me to pay in USD. I'm Canadian. I converted it to USD, and they probably converted it to pounds or euros or whatever. There's irony too - I'd make...

The people living there wouldn't tolerate no air traffic for 2 years. I'm sure if it becomes a persistent problem, someone will figure out a way around it. ;)

KLite Mega. Plays anything. Encodes anything too - except Theora. :lol: Apparently FFCoder will encode Theora - but it does have a lot of crash bugs. If I posted some H.264 video here, could someone test to see if it plays on an actual Pandora? I can post Theora video too.

Ogg vorbis has had specific bitrate vbr encoding for a while now. It works quite good. It's very close in quality to HE-AAC, although at low bitrates it does cull some of the sounds the 3GPP AAC+ encoder retains.

Anyone know any good theora encoders for Windows? Ones that let you tweak some settings, but don't force you to type out multiple lines of undocumented command switches? I did find this one, but it has no bitrate control.
