    New cables, more boards (2011-04-15)

    @iArnold: The team are not Pandora producing machines. It's just silly to believe that time not spent building pandoras means time spent on other pandora stuff. These guys have lives to lead too. The team should throw their long-suffering customers a bone once in a while - 5 weeks is just...

    It's already been done. More staff was part of the reason for the price increase, but the problem is (we are told) CC can't keep up with board production. So Pandora production is currently limited by supply chain issues, not available manpower.

    Forsooth, is nothing sacred? Witness at least, dear readers - those exclamation marks are a blatant fabrication.

    Getting Discouraged

    The thing that confuses people is they think that "Premium" refers to the pandora itself. It does not. In actuality it is YOU, the "premium customer". You pay for special treatment. They should drop the "Premium" moniker and just call it "Retail".

    I didn't say it was. But if you just want to quote me out of context, then good luck to you Sir.

    Dev on a mac

    Good lord. Can you honestly say that it is just as easy to develop software for Linux on Windows as it is to develop for Linux on Linux? If you claim it is so I bow out of the discussion entirely.

    Dev on a mac

    OK, let's not get into a holy war here. But cross-compiling is one thing (not without it's own difficulties), actual development is completely different. Can you honestly say that it is just as easy to develop software for Linux on Windows as it is to develop for Linux on Linux? Considering...

    Dev on a mac

    @trashyMG - It's not about the toolchain, it's about the code actually working on the target platform. @craigix - They jumped the shark with the latest Ubuntu. Go debian.

    Dev on a mac

    Linux is basically UNIX MacOS is basically BSD BSD is basically UNIX But by the time you've finished playing that little game of Chinese whispers you'll want to put a bullet in your head. A virtual machine or dual-boot Macintosh will be fine, but don't kid yourself about portability...

    Does USB Monitors Work?

    Short Answer: Yes! The Long Answer comes with a disclaimer: I've no hands-on experience with an actual USB display (or with an actual Pandora *sadface*). However DisplayLink is supported by the kernel frame buffer, so the standard xf86-video-fbdev should do the trick, assuming the stock...

    I'd like to think the sound of crickets chirping is because batch 1 is nearly finished and a big announcement is forthcoming, but the cynic in me notes that uncertainty increases numbers of premium upgrades. Either way it makes no difference - but what I am saying is that being treated like...

    Pandora Testbed that emulates Pandora?

    A Personal Computer (or Micro Computer) was class of hardware below the Mini Computer, which was a big step down from a Computer (Mainframe). None of it really means anything any more. What with everything being built out of the same or similar hardware, these distinctions don't make sense...

    It's a full month now without an official update (a new record by my reckoning), craigix's twitter is nearly silent and the stalker is a waste of time. Give us something EvilDragon, please? The natives are getting restless. Oh, and before the "shut up and wait" crowd chimes in... one update...

    Hmmmm.... Antivirus? Antimalware?

    Incidentally, the cracking of the PSN was a failure of security through obscurity, not the result of dedicated effort. Sony KNEW they were vulnerable and yet took no steps to secure their systems, believing that nobody would notice or bother to try.

    Hmmmm.... Antivirus? Antimalware?

    Dave (respectfully), the motivation is simply to pick the low hanging fruit. It's like SPAM, it costs you no effort at all to crack a million Windows machines with automated tools, and you might get something out of a handful of them. Contrast it to the kind of work you are talking about -...
