Personally, I don't order anything online (or otherwise unless it's personal) by anything except credit card. My credit card is insured. Nothing else is, _especially_ bank transfers. It is the best known way to transfer money in online scams. And I am not saying that I think this is a scam. I...

Haha. I was asking to be patronised. I think there's a lot of 'night before christmas' flashbacks going on on these boards! Thanks chip, much appreciated :)

My money's been refunded but I still haven't received a mail about credit card re-orders...I know that this has come up again and again and I should be waiting for an email, but I still have this niggling feeling that I might lose my pre-order if I don't buy the Pandora soon - if I don't pay...

These are generic linux things that can be set up in any normal distro - including Angstom EDIT: About swap: if you're doing lots of compilation or something like that it may be beneficial to have swap on a spare SD card that you don't mind wearing out (i.e. don't store important files on it)...

Definently much preferred the old one. And hope the new one is black. But I'm not seriously bothered by the new one I guess, just don't see the issue with the old one. It looked very cool being retro and durable (like the IBM thinkpads)

Yep, exactly that. In fact, the upper temperature limit varies quite a bit from device to device, but for standard grade chips the lower limit is almost always 0 degrees C. Often manufacturers only have two grades, standard and industrial/military, or sometimes 3. Sometimes you can't actually...

Most standard grade components are rated for 0 to about 60 or 70 degrees ©. There are then industrial and military, which are get about 10 degrees extra at each end of the scale (i.e. -10 to +70 or 80 and -20 to plus 80 or 90) For many manufacturers, do you know what they do to get the...

The game looks loads like "Game Over" on the amstrad cpc (and probably other machines)...anyone remember that? Played it Gonzo? What a great game... Iprice, nice games! I love the retro remakes version of head over heels....there are 3 head over heels remakes and I find it by far the best! One...

Sorry, exactly what kind of fantasy are we talking about here?

Surely the 'God' games (including those listed by PoisenedV) are really all RTS games (it's a sub-group of RTS)?

Dillo is a truly incredible browser. For a long time I have decided that if I get any serious amount of spare cash to invest in an open source project dillo would be it.

Well, I think the deafult angstrom will probably be the best...supports deb, ipkg etc and are all optimised to omap. However, haven't read the thread about the ubuntu cooperation stuff, which might end up with an optimised version i guess. But, much as I like Linux, I still think haiku would be...

how about planeshift?

QUOTE Mine too :P. We have dos version too but only one disadvantage is the small 320x200 resolution. Well, there is PSX version too but we have to use analog pad to handle cursor <_<. I'm fairly sure openredalert will compile with no problems at all - it is based on sdl which is already...

Guru Don't know if that was targeted at developers in general, but I feel I should point out that I have ordered a pandora already :D

I'm going to start porting over some nice open-source games from PC land. I'll start with Glest, then probably SuperTuxKarts, Planeshift (crystalspace), lincity-ng and Torcs, among others. Not really sure of the order ATM, plus other people might be doing ports of the same things...we'll see how...

I've owned several gumstixs for robotics and other projects and have never had any problems - they do exactly what they say on the tin. I've had multiple LCDs connected as well, and have found the most difficult part being building a break-out board for the LCD connector and power regulation -...

Aha - I hadn't appreciated that the GPU supported ES 1.1. I see from the specs page that I was wrong - great, that sounds much more straightforward!

I am going to try my first real hard port by working on glest, I just hope it will run well enough.
