    Pandora As A Remote Control

    *sigh* yeah, whatever. A metre is made up of centimetres, you know.

    Pandora As A Remote Control

    1m is still far below what is expected of the normal IR remote, and you will almost certainly be disappointed by the results - especially since IrDA takes advantage of error correction and IR remote control can not. This is *personal experience* (mine, and other people I've talked to) so, no, I...

    Open Source 3d Printer

    Actually, that's not the case. A child machine can make items as well as a parent can - there really isn't any "generational loss" inherent in the design. That said, however, there's still a lot of work ongoing to improve the overall accuracy of the mechanism.

    Simple Request

    I expect this is in response to my post on the SDXC thread. Honestly, if you spend less time thinking about a question than you do typing it and posting, then you should expect the same in return. It doesn't matter if the same topic has been posted every day for a year - if you've looked at...

    Sdxc?

    Search the web? No, search the *forum*. The sheer brevity of the initial post strongly suggested that the time between thought and post was measured in seconds. As for SDXC, pretty much anything I would have said has been said. I think manufacturers would be insane to produce cards that were...

    Pandora As A Remote Control

    Even if you can get an IrDA module working as a remote, you won't get any decent range out of it - they're designed to communicate only over a few cm distance for security reasons.

    Pandora Pandora-psp

    I wonder if it's doing some funky optimisation which is falling foul of memcpy's overlap issues. What happens if you use memmove instead?

    A search would have said more.

    One of my ports is for shoving food into; common decency prevents me describing the function of my other ports.

    Pandora As Fullscreen Pdf / Djvu Viewer?

    You won't have any problems - I read PDFs on my lower-res Zaurus all the time. Unless you're blind, obviously.

    Pandora 3d Model

    I'm fairly sure the Pandora case is 2mm ABS.

    Pandora 3d Model

    The power jack is a standard DC barrel, 4.0mm OD 1.7mm ID. The ext connector is detailed here (including model data!): CODE http://catalog.tycoelectronics.com/catalog/bin/TE.Connect?S=24100&M=PPROP&P=&BML=10000-M&LG=1&PG=1&IDS=321950,321232,372004,372007,382493,321233,442539,437007&N=7

    Pandora 3d Model

    Nice, but don't just have the usb on a hinge - make the hinge piece extend across the back of the Pandora and include the power jack. Not only will it improve the strength of the piece, it'll connect both USB and power with one action. I'd be tempted to include the ext jack as well, to be...

    Autocad Clones?

    Uh, you do know the difference between screen size and screen resolution, right? Just because 4ish" is less than a third of 15", does *not* mean that it can only display a third as much...

    Pandora 3d Model

    I would *not* want to be removing/replacing the battery cover all the time just to use a dock; it would end up removing 90% of the convenience a dock provides, and makes it easier to lose the original cover! I've got a cover for my Zaurus that has pins that go into the screw holes on the bottom...

    Pandora Vinyl Mod.

    The usb part is probably always just a bog standard usb audio device (the one I bought dad is), so linux probably supports it out of the box.

    Video Playback Performance

    Li-Ion batteries will degrade from the moment they're manufactured; there's nothing you can do about that, it's intrinsic to the chemistry. However, you can accelerate it's death multiple ways. Heat will shorten the lifespan of the battery; this is *not* as big an issue as on a laptop because...

    What Do People Think About Topic Regulation In Forums?

    You're nuts if you think the Pandora is 'stagnated' - cramming an x86 into a small formfactor isn't my idea of progress. ARM has been going from strength-to-strength, while x86 is all "hmm, how can we get this into a small box with just enough cooling and battery life for people to shove money...
