I may be cynical, but in my view not unfoundedly so. Also, if you present a vast amount of information relying on sources, you should omit "I think" because that is dishonest (generally speaking, not implying that Shaun specifically would). Learning is a noble goal, but again I'm cynical about...

You know, my comment was perfectly called for in the present day Internet where everyone pretends to be expert on everything just because they have evolved into semantic copy machines since the introduction of advanced search engines and most notably Wikipedia. The person that my comment was...

A lockable axis on the back of the pandora that allows you to rotate the screen 180 degrees and turn it into closed position on the down side of the unit, and would automatically put the Pandora into peripheral mode for gamepad use via USB.

That's exactly what a project like this does not need (and would be difficult to provide). In a real company - the kind of which would usually take on a similar project - you would have departments with staff trained to work efficiently in the narrow areas that they are specialized in, an actual...

You think. Yeah... Not Wikipedia.

"Pers" sounds like slang for "an ass" in Finnish, so it sort of reads AssGate to me.

I quite enjoyed danceypants. I can imagine it accompanying a good old-fashioned platformer, the tune is memorable too. I would also be interested in giving it a try to compose music "per order", like HomoChristo said; Request a tune for certain context, preferably provide a little graphics for...

To "put it in the perspective" means to set it in the correct context, to draw proportions, which is exactly what the analogy avoided. A small but relevant bit of trivia to know in this argument is that the Pidgin devs removed a feature that existed. I didn't realize Pandora came with a foot...

Fair enough, but you did kind of provoke it by trying to "set him straight" about the hierarchy of devs versus users. Well yeah, and no. The debate was essentially about HOW a person "should" use an instant messenger. It seemed to me like the devs' vision was that IM'ing should be to chatting...

I don't think he was being particularly negative. This is a discussion about pros and cons of the proposed method of installing apps, and discussions involve introducing conflicting viewpoints. What he said about the devs keeping their "mucky hands off his OS" is in essence a perfectly justified...

You're right, the community isn't a hivemind that can collectively decide how to respond, but you can suggest and adopt new modes of action. If you show support for lashing out at everyone who's arguably an idiot, it will be the default way of responding. But that way is not really good for the...

I understand and sympathize with that. But frankly, it's not always just about that. The "shit-slinging monkeys" phenomenon occurs when the pack knows they can engage in behaviour that would under normal circumstances be considered socially despicable but in certain instances receives the...

Right. One line would be sufficient though: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/44746-the-pandora-information-index/ To help further: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=47518 If you want to be really nice, add: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=47310...

Exactly. Whoever goes apeshit over something like this, needs to sort out their own stuff before going online.

I am also not looking to convert anyone. I don't have any interest in that. In fact, as I am a fanatic, close-minded CLI and Linux zealot, the less people can do what I can, the more it strokes my inflated ego. Prejudice aside, I firmly believe in what I wrote earlier (though dflemstr may have...

The common fear of command-line interface (CLI) is unwarranted. You just type in commands to run programs. The commands often accept parameters, which in some cases require a little more extensive knowledge on what you're doing. There's no magic, you just specify what is it exactly that you want...

It's stupid to quote duplicate large images in the reply.

I believe it was a joke. But still, whoever sold you guys the e-peen pumps was a scammer.

It's great to finally see the analog nubs in real action. Granted that they look high quality on the outside, I'm still positively surprised by how well they seem to function. Kudos to the team.

I must disagree. Even after 10 years of more active using of UNIX-based systems (RedHat, Slackware, Debian, Ubuntu, Back|Track and OpenBSD) the power of CLI, regular expressions, utilization of standard I/O, the concept of piping and the UNIX philosophy still bring a smile on my face every time...
