    Pandora Carry Case Photos Request

    Have you? I have with multiple OSs and applications over the last decade and a horizontal flip has never been anything I've seen. Why would a webcam act any different than other digital cameras? EDIT: It is an option with programs like Cheese but I meant I've never seen it as a default

    An Advanced Alarm Clock Application Idea.

    Nokia has solved all of those problems (including powering-on for events and managing events from multiple apps) on their OMAP3 and Linux based N900 (also on the earlier Internet Tablets) - with libalarm, Documentation (Thanks B-ZaR). Source tarball here - as well as armel .debs In my opinion...

    Annoying Ie Only Websites

    Moonlight doesn't come with Mono (in fact in (K)Ubuntu I don't even see a dependency on Mono) - Have you made sure that the Moonlight browser plugin is installed?

    Spoke To The Factory

    Hmm - new goal once I get my Pandora - make the Touhou games run on it. 1-5 should be easy, 6+ will require some amalgamation of qemu and wine or something (too lazy to search now for threads about that) and perhaps I'll get 60 spf out of them. (side note: In my copy of the game that the...

    Here Is What Will Be Happening.

    I've seen a lot of numbers like 500, 1000, 2000, and so on but in my opinion the best way to do this has already been suggested: e-mail Every preorderer with the question of wait-or-not. Then those who say not can all get cases made immediately and those who want to wait or don't answer will...

    Should I?

    Personally, I would attempt to preorder from the first batch now. Yesterday I would not have projected my personal optimism on others, but it's looking good now (and there always seem to be enough cancellations for new orders to slip in at the end.) The second batch seems likely to take Longer...

    Damn, This Is Gonna Be Close!

    That's not 'China': http://www.ups.com/content/cn/en/resources/ship/imp_exp/operation.html It's even less of an issue than that, 13-15 and they will still make arrangements ahead of time.

    Pangea - Alternative Gui To Gmenu

    You certainly have found a challenge! I once tried to learn another language (Japanese) and as hard as it was for me (I failed the class) it really made me realize how hard it must be to learn English with all our complex rules that each have exceptions. You do have a very good head start...

    Linux Apps

    If privacy is the only reason you don't want to try it, then just use Chromium instead of Chrome (in fact on Pandora Chrome would not be available unless Google specifically ports it). Or if you are really paranoid, Iron is a Chromium fork that removes even more stuff. (and is of course a bit...

    Alarm

    I kinda figured my N800's alarm handling abilities were due to the OMAP platform, and OMAP3 shouldn't lose anything there that OMAP2 had - note that if an alarm is set on my tablet, it will still go off even from being turned Off! Suspend should not be an issue. (And when it does go off, I...

    What Are The First Few Things You're Gonna Do With/download On You

    After the initial charging/exploring/configuring I plan to use mine mainly as a portable media player to watch shows from my DVR (MythTV) while on the way to/from work (I'm really hoping it can play 720p xvids but if not I have plenty of low-def TV to get through). Secondly, I'll use it as a...

    Firmware Testing

    Very much so: My N800 can actually go a week between being charged, with no suspend, with programs running, on a 1500 mAh battery. The CPU governor sets it from 400MHz when active to 165 when idle (I don't know the minimum speed that the Pandora's CPU's goes to) That said, I can think of...

    Pandora Wireless Chip

    There are several things being tossed around here - personally I would love it if the Pandora could be put into Master (a.k.a. AP or Host) mode and actually be a mobile access point. (I'd share out my phone's internet sometimes. The software side would be really easy if the hardware/drivers...

    2Nd Batch Upgrades?

    Perhaps it will be able to access the cards at a hardware level, but it seems like it will be a long time before Linux will support actually using the cards. (Of course you could reformat a card to a different file system, but then the card will not be usable in anything that's not a full...
