A group that uses terror tactics that have at least once proven fatal , have ignored and rallied against genetic modification of vegetable crops even when those crops weren't from some baddy like Monsanto but actual dry-climate capable wheat and rice crops calling them "frankenfood"(whatever the...

I just want to toss in my opinion that that statement was full of win. That is all.

CAD is at parity(sometimes higher) then the USD for the first time in decades. I laughed so hard when I saw one of those little fold out exchange cards on a tourist visited store that said "For our American friends your dollar is worth [90cents] Canadian"

In regards to the whole "I don't want to press it accidentally" thing I wanna throw my idea about simply proving a lifted bevel or a sunken button for the Menu/Pandora button. If you still hit that accidentally, ease up on the caffeine ;)

Well, I got a little calculating program started using stdio.h :) Playing around with opening and writing files now. I figure I'll have a Unix clone done by next week ;)

I concur with MWeston's idea. OS locked Pandora button(Menu button with logo) that allows task switching for the definite win. However, if people are really concerned about the position juxtaposed the start button(personally I don't see it), maybe recess the button a bit further in(or put a...

Thanks again for all the feedback:) I'm actually now looking at how pointers work and am loving the possibilities! (does that make me a sick man?)

erlang? ocaml? Is this one of them descramble-the-letters games? ;)

You gotta get this on pay-per-view for some initial funding :P

I'm sensing a little bit of Java hate here :P My Java decision was mostly based on its usefulness at work, but then again, I may look at C++ anyways after diving into C :) I completed my first lil' stdin text proggy today and I must say the syntax reminds me a lot of PHP(sorta makes sense, I...

lol I appreciate the feedback all the same, sindbad :) I had considered python, but I already have ksh, perl and php under the belt. I keep hearing wonderful things about Python, but, yeah, I wanna get my hands dirty with something low-level for a change, first. And as much as I've heard...

Thanks! Clicking through your links and suggestions now :D @AireTamStorm: Yeah I figured I was gonna at least start with Linux(it having a compiler and everything ready to go in the first place, etc...). I've done some shell programming in korn(the shell they default to where I work). And...

Apologies, I wasn't sure if I should tap the knowledgebase here on in General Talk :P I've been using interpreted languages for a bit and wanted to pick up something more low-level and would allow me to experiment with things like the upcoming demon device. Any suggestions on reading material...

I'm just amazed. The unit ain't even truly out yet and the software for it already looks kickass.

That's astounding! Sony themselves couldn't of pulled it off better.

I suppose if there's still some debate on the button labels, I don't mind NSEW, I sorta like it. It begs me to slap a cardinal points sticker in between the buttons :) But I suppose a compromise could be hollow triangle point up, down, left and right. That way they'd be interchangeable with...
