Even the reverse of that could be nowhere near right: an 18% reflective object is Middle Gray, Matte black has got to be under 5% reflective, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was under 1%

I had the same reaction. Hopefully the "carpenter" is an honest one.

(emphasis mine) This implies - without stating - that there has been a major event we have not heard anything about: As far as we know (unless I missed something) you only had 1000 cases. If more have arrived, then that is Exactly the type of thing that we are begging to know. (not dates, but...

Yup, not rare in the sense of worth-more-than-50-cents (like comics, they have to be virtually perfect condition for that) but most people and businesses don't keep them on hand to spend them, so you don't see a lot unless you seek them: Banks tend to have them if you ask.

Now that I think about it, I guess with one exception we just have a clear separation between the name of a coin (usually historical in nature) and the value it has: The penny is the 1 cent coin, nickle is 5 cents, dime 10, quarter 25, but guess how much the fifty-cent piece (a rarely seen but...

MegaZeux! (Wiki)

Woah, MegaZeux still has a community?! Does ZZT? (I remember playing those on my 386 (40MHz) in elementary school) *checks Wikipedia* : "Most of the current development of MegaZeux stems from Exophase's work" Well then :-)

If I edit the URL and change &hl=de to &hl=en then the Pandora one is on page 3. I have no idea why they shift around (the query stays the same language...)

I won't respond to individual points here, except the one about the fanboi attitude: I think much of comes from genuine personality differences. Perhaps it's left vs right brain, or aesthetics vs functional oriented. I agree that "good gadgets are good gadgets whoever makes them" but by my...

That's awesome, I once saw something similar at a science center, but that was mechanical legs attached to bicycle pedals, and like QWOP there were buttons for each piston (in place of muscles) (like QWOP you could get it going just by alternating between two of the buttons, but the real one...

Responding to an earlier post here, slightly off topic I would say that a lot of the people who have interest in the Pandora don't have interest in the iDevices for a few specific reasons, such as: No physical controls (this is a big one, and Craig is working on it, but I mean native) Low...

Very true. And yet there are hundreds of people who have Pandoras and are enjoying them, writing software for them, etc. I'm optimistic that I will get mine, and it will be awesome, even if it's not before Christmas. Since I started watching the project pre-pre-orders, the...

If it had any say the matter, we'd be stuck with exFAT. Fortunately they don't, and can be formatted any way you like. (I even have some cards with multiple partitions. Works fine in Linux)

As for the copper tape, I'm pretty sure that's not going away since it would just require shielding somewhere else (like the case) if it did. The rest of the stuff I am not seeing continuing issues with (Nubs is after all why the latest round of boards is late) What other improvements do you...

Hahahahahahaha! (That is all.)

On my N800 using boot from SD, it would get corrupt far too easily with ext2, even if I usually managed to shut it down properly, just one failure to recharge in time (I never have figured out why it won't shutdown safely) or kernel panic (it happens) could do it. So I switched to ext3 and it...

He can sometimes show great skill at derailing threads, but I wouldn't go so far as not even mentioning him.

I do hope this is fixed before I get my Pandora - some of the non-emulator uses which I expect to use it for include viewing video, and images (such as pictures I just took). I'm also surprised (and annoyed) that 16bpp was implemented first, even if it is slightly faster. 24bpp/32bpp has been...

The UMID BZ does look pretty good - if I were to give up on Pandora that might be what I would get. (Although I would really miss the full-size (and double) SD slots, I just don't see a lot of good alternatives) I would not be interested in the Viliv N5 that Exo suggests because its GPU is the...

I'd change the name - it is impossible to Google because X means how-many-are-in-a-lot
